You know, Larry, some people believe that the person depicted in the Mona Lisa is Leonardo himself :-) Is Leonardo's Mona Lisa a Self-Portrait? http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/leonardo-da-vincis-mona-lisa-self-portrait/story?id=9662394 If true, it only makes your image all the more goofy :-)

Well, I wasn't really being serious what I said about linux. Just so you know :-) It was sorta just the heat of the moment. Anyways, sorry about that, guys! :-) So, please excuse my "uncalled for", "gratuitious", "unbecoming" and "failed-to-meet-Jaclaz's-expectations" comments from posts #84 and #86 above. Now, back to having fun, and posting youtube videos! (I hope)

If you want to use garbage software, then use Linux. If you want to use real software use Windows.

Next time, maybe he can tell me why I should stop using Windows ME. Or why I should stop driving a 1994 Mercury Sable, or why I should stop using my 1970 Ford pickup to haul things, or why I should stop eating candy, or why I should hold my breath if I smell a foul odor, or why I should avoid sunlight between 10am and 2pm.... or why using the same pair of guitar strings for a year and a half is bad for my fingers, and why the strings become oxidized, or why furnace heating is better than electric...

Try using Disktective for getting a clearer picture. It shows a pie chart of every folder on your computer, and how much space is used... you can see where all your data is being stored, and what is being stored. Simply a diagnostic tool. http://www.disktective.com/

thanks for the tutorial, Flasche.

@Larry My cat was probably toying with me :-) Trying to annoy. He was a cool cat. There was a cat video on the news recently where a cat saved a little boy from a dog attack.

Maybe he's old and has Cat Dementia. My cat got loopy when he got old. He would sit and paw at the door to be let ouside. Then he'd go outside. And then immediately paw at the door to be let back in. Then he would do that again, over and over and over. In and out, in and out. It's like he forgot where he's going.

Hello

^ which I suppose is a better scenario than Judge Dred :-)

^That object has a higher than normal oblateness, but then so do Jupiter and Saturn, both of which bulge at the equator. Earth is an oblate spheroid as well... just not as much as the others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AHaumea_(dwarf_planet)%2FArchive_3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_bulge#Other_celestial_bodies

Starting with themselves I hope.

Orbit path is elliptical in any case.If you're referring to the shape of a planet and dwarf planet being circular, then yes, that is one of the requiresments. They both must be a sphere to be either a planet or dwarf planet.As quoted earlier: ^meaning, that gravity has transformed the body into a sphere :-)Hope that helps.

Well, all orbits are elliptical rather than a perfect circle. Kepler's 1st law of planetary motion states: The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler's_laws_of_planetary_motion A dwarf planet is defined as: Astronomers had to come up with a definition for all the minor planetoids that exist beyond Neptune's orbit. The key thing to remember about dwarf planets is they have, not cleared their orbit of other objects. What they mean by "massive enough for its shape to be controlled by gravity" is that it is a sphere. When something has enough mass and therefore gravity to start pulling inwards, it forms a sphere. Otherwise, you get something small, irregular and potato shaped like one of Mars's moons. Or else you get something like the asteroids, which because of their lack of mass and gravity, are lumpy and irregular shaped. Ceres is a good example of a dwarf planet. It's the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt between mars and jupiter. Yet, Ceres hasn't cleared the other asteroids out of it's orbit. In order for Ceres to become a full-fledged planet, all the other asteroids in Ceres orbit would need to be orbiting Ceres. Also, it is estimated that there are hundreds to thousands of dwarf planets in the Solar System. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_planet#Dwarf_planets_and_possible_dwarf_planets

Astronomy is my reading hobby :-) I collect books on the subject. Yes. You have also defined what makes a planet a planet, and NOT, say, a moon, asteroid or other object .A planet is a body that orbits the Sun, is massive enough for its own gravity to make it round, and has "cleared its neighbourhood" of smaller objects around its orbit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition_of_planet#IAU_definition

"Tennis Court" shows a whole different side (a better side, if I may say so) that I wasn't aware of. Her latest radio single is "Team," which is also better than Royals, IMO :-) I didn't even know this was Lorde singing it until I googled it. I thought it was somebody else. My car radio is programmed for Canadian stations that play the newest stuff, so I've heard these songs on the radio... but I never know who they are until Larry puts up a link, LOL... then I'm like, oh, that's who that was.

Just to clarify, Saturn's rings consist almost entirely of ice. A moonlet, however, is just another term for a small natural satellite. Some moonlets (the "rocks" you mentioned) do exist within the orbit of Saturn's rings, but the particles that make up the actual rings themselves, are ice. Here is a moonlet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/2009_S_1 Rings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Saturn The Earth and Moon are sometimes considered a double, or binary planet system. This is because the mass of the moon is about 1/81 that of Earth, while the other moons in the solar system are less than 1/4000 the mass of their host planet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_planet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter#Astronomy

nice Lorde video, Larry. Respighi - Pines of Rome, movement IV This would make an awesome soundtrack to something... it hits you like a ton of bricks
