Enceladus
by Guest theSun- 3 replies

reading a bit out this moon from the wiki, sounds pretty fucking sick. active, hot cores were something that a lot of astronomers thought were rare 50+ years ago. the discovery that europa, enceladus, titan, whoknowswhatelse have some action inside them, brings the possibility of habitable moons within our solar system. i don't really have anything to add http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enceladus_%28moon%29

http://www.activistpost.com/2011/06/7-surprising-things-youre-not-supposed.html#more have a look through this article and just say what you think. It came up on someone's facebook yesterday and turned into an 80 comment nightmare which I ducked out of very early, but christ alive what a trainwreck it was. This is one of the most infuriating pieces of internet I've come across in a while.

out of beta, this seems like it's really rendering pages faster. options take a little while to find your way around, and had to find a new theme but looks good so far.

boring Excel help question
by Guest Coalbucket PI- 14 replies

It's a bit tricky to explain what the problem is which is why I haven't been able to find anything by googling. I have a data set with a column of ID numbers, around 120,000 of them, with most of the ID numbers duplicated about 11 times. I have a separate database (the annotation file) of what these IDs correspond to, with a column for the IDs and a columns of what it represents. What I need is a column in the data set, next to the ID number column, which contains the info about what each ID represents. Now the IDs in the annotation file are listed in the same order as they are in the data set, but without the duplicates, so that list is only about 12,000 long, an…

we just had a meeting at the agency i work at and they really want us all to focus on social media. i have been an art director / designer for over a decade and this is now becoming scary to me. i do not have a facebook acct. i do not want a facebook acct. i do not think that liking a company on facebook or having followers on twitter has anything to do with selling product. to me, it feels like this is the beginning of the web when if you weren't "online" you were considered a loser. so now, if you dont have a zillion fans or likes, it is the same thing. I am having a hard time understanding how to implement a new way of thinking as an art director. my job has always bee…

After some truly breathtaking halloween ideas posted here in the past, I thought this would be the place for some inspiration. ...a friend's birthday theme is 80s music - had it been 70s I'd have no problem - but I absolutely refuse to go as Bowie or Boy George The best I've come up with is big suit David Byrne it is impractical

Windows Vista System File Mismatch Error
by Guest Sprigg- 21 replies
- 3.4k views
I turned on my computer, and I got an error message saying that Windows encountered a 'system file mismatch error' saying something like it couldn't validate I have a legit install. Sounds kinda sketchy to me; I've had this computer for two years, and it was given to me by a friend who'd had it for a year or two before that. I'm running a scan with Avast... what could cause this though, if it isn't a virus? A Google search revealed little, also... apparently this isn't a common thing.

Turntable.FM is a site where you can play DJ and pick songs with 4 other DJ's for a crowd of people. The people rate your songs "Lame" or "Awesome", can become your fan, and you earn DJ points for playing songs and getting positive ratings. I found it from a guy I heard of from the festival scene named Paper Diamond.. He plugged it on his facebook and dropped a new track on the site. You can create your own rooms and such too. edit woops shoulda searched first.. another thread about it a couple weeks ago

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13917263 Thanks, BBC. This article upsets me as it conglomerates Diabetes as though it is one condition and uses a picture of some fat persons ass to front it. I was diagnosed at 11 years old, in fine shape and for no reason. But for some reason the popular media thought is that most diabetics eat too much, don't exercise and suck. I am getting fed up with this. I know that people don't have the time, desire or need to know diabetes in depth but there are some simple facts that exist and should be known! I hate telling people that I am a diabetic because I'm scared they are gonna think I did it to myself. And i should make it clear …

I was wondering if anyone here has interests in astronomy. I am just looking for recommendations on books/documentary films that are really awe inspiring. I love looking at space photos and just recently watched some history channel film about the sun. Seen or read anything cool in this area lately?

Over the last few years, I've thought on and off about collecting vinyl. But in the last few weeks, I've started to seriously consider it. I am thrilled at the idea of a new way to listen to music. It kind of seems like it would be an adventure. The other day, I found a small collection of records hidden deep in a storage cupboard in our house. So all I need now is a turntable, and maybe some better records than "Simon and Garfunkel" (whatever that is). Last week I tried to buy a vinyl copy of Gantz Graf from Amazon. It arrived yesterday in a small box, much too small for a 12" EP. The real kick in the balls was, not only was it a CD copy, but it was not even the CD-D…

Anyone ever found themselves while browsing around your neighborhood on Google Earth?... I swear I just spotted myself in my old car pulling onto the mainroad near my neighborhood which would probably have been about 7 years ago. They did come through surveying my area about that time, and I remember spotting the truck once in my car and once again while driving with a friend, but I think that time with the friend was on the highway somewhere, no idea where... So, anyone else ever spot themselves or someone you know
