Are You Ready For Deep Impact?
It's time to head for Hawaii and grab a front row seat because...
During the early morning hours of July 3 (EDT), the Deep Impact spacecraft will deploy a 1-meter-wide (39-inch-wide) impactor into the path of the comet, which is about half the size of Manhattan Island, N.Y. Over the next 22 hours, Deep Impact navigators and mission members located more than 133 million kilometers (83 million miles) away at JPL, will steer both spacecraft and impactor toward the comet.

One Dollar Windows
Looks like Microsoft has finally reached a deal with the Indonesian government, which reportedly uses thousands of pirated copies of Windows on its computers. The new amnesty agreement allows the government to legalize its pirated copies, and avoid a lawsuit from Microsoft, for just one U.S. dollar a piece along with the promise that they will buy legal copies in the future. Yes folks, it seems Windows IS getting more worthless by the day.
