This article is two years old but it's interesting to read, if you want to check it out :-) Online With Windows ME in 2012 http://planetbotch.blogspot.com/2012/04/online-with-windows-me-in-2012.html

Stone Temple Pilots - Down

Soundgarden - 4th of July

John Carpenter also directed StarMan... I think the last movie I saw of his was Ghosts of Mars... which was okay. But Vampires with James Woods was good (for a 90's Vampire movie, that is)

Robert Plant - The Band of Joy - "Monkey"

LOL :-) Bubble wrap, eh? You're going to need more like an underground fallout shelter.... Ever see the movie "Blast From the Past" with Christopher Walken, Brandon Frasier, and Alicia Silverstone? They had like a greenhouse down there, decades worth of canned goods, their own generator, food, clothes, etc. If you haven't seen that movie, it's hilarious. Any sufficiently strong enough asteroid will create a nuclear-winter type affect and basically render the Earth inhabitable for quite some time. Hey, Flasche, here's another link, less math involved which is a good thing ;-) http://www.permanent.com/apollo-amor-aten-near-earth-asteroids.html

Sure, you can visit here, and click on the Impact Risk tab :-) http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/neo/groups.html This is maybe sort of technical. But 1 "AU" is one "Astronomical Unit". Which is the distance of the Sun to the Earth; something like 93 million miles. It's easier to measure in AU than miles. Generally I wouldn't worry about it though.

Well, there's only one asteroid "belt" between Mars and Jupiter. However, there is also the Kuiper "belt" beyond the orbit of Neptune/Pluto. These are comet-like bodies of frozen ice. They're not the same as the "rocks" in the regular asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. But there are asteroids that have highly eccentric orbits that aren't part of the asteroid belt. Instead they approach the inner solar sytem near Earth, then go back out. These can be labeled "Earth Grazers." Eros was the first "earth grazer" discovered. Later on, more earth grazing asteroids were discovered. The next one was called Apollo, and its orbit was found to pass within Earth's orbit even closer than Eros. So they started calling these asteroids "apollo objects." A few Apollo-objects: Icarus Hermes Apollo Cerberus Daedulus Adonis Midas Of course, that was back in the 70's, and solar system nomenclature has evolved since then. I don't know if they still use that terminology. Ah, they do! Here's the wikipedia article on Apollo Asteroids. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apollo_asteroids

I like the theatrical cut of Blade Runner.... it's the one with the voice-over from Harrison Ford, and it has the happy ending. I got it on VHS. I don't know if that version is available on DVD or Blue Ray. You've made me want to go watch it now :-)

It's a belt. All of the planets, and asteroid belt too, are on the plane of the ecliptic. Which is a line extending from the sun outwards to all the planets. So, you can imagine the solar system being relatively flat and disc shaped.For example, if you draw an imaginary line extending straight from the Sun to the Earth, this is called the plane of the ecliptic. The Earth would then have an orbital inclination of zero degrees from the ecliptic. Going by this same line (Sun to Earth), Mercury would have a orbital inclination of 7 degrees from the ecliptic , Venus 3.2 degrees, Mars 1.9 degrees, Jupiter 1.3 degrees, Saturn 2.5 degrees*. As you can see, the orbital inclinations are slight. From an outside viewpoint it would look flat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic#Plane_of_the_Solar_System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_belt#Orbits *Figures taken from Jupiter: The Largest Planet by Isaac Asimov

Nigel Kennedy - Doors Concerto, Love Street Joe Walsh - Tomorrow One of my favorite artists ever... his songs can always cheer me up

Joy Division - N4 From my favorite JD CD, Martin Hannett's Personal Mixes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfTFHc1ZMUc Joy Division - The Eternal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kC-0RHjNqc

this is totally subjective of course 1. StarMan (Jeff Bridges, Karan Allen) 2. Pitch Black (Vin Deisel) 3. Communion (Christopher Walken) 4. Zardoz (Sean Connery) 5. The Omega Man (Charleton Heston) 6. Soylent Green (Charleton Heston) 7. Space Rage (Richard Farnsworth) 8. Cyborg (Jean Claude Van Damme) 9. The Bride of Frankenstein (okay, it's "horror," and it is held in critical esteem, but it could pass as sci-fi I think) 10. Fire in the Sky what are your guys', if any?

no problemo, Larry :-) Far in, man!

Walking In The Air - from the Snowman (1982) animated short film Far out, man.

It was cloudy... and I fell asleep.

Yes, it is a rather confusing issue... is this is why they invented SATA? To do away with IDE cables and all this jumper, master/slave stuff? Or is messing around with SATA stuff this confusing as well? I hope it's easier :-)

okay thanks :-)
