Asteroid poised to maybe hit earth and kill everything.
Well this is not going to hit the Earth for a long time say 2000 some years. Its going to miss the Earth by a 1.4 times the distance from the Earth to our moon. Its name and size: TU24 2007, 240 m – 550 m.
Hear is the orbital path of TU24 2007

Greetings:
I listened to a podcast with Adam Curry and You and I was in pain and had to stop it. Maybe it was a bad episode (you trying to figure out your handwriting).
I wish you would just pull out all the stops and be more of you. YOU are great by yourself LET GO. You will be great. Just be more of yourself.
Big Fan,
I Love Heroin
I hope Windows 7 comes in just ONE version. The marketing genius who decided on all those versions of Vista must have been smoking something.
#3 “on all those versions of Vista” Yes…sort of…agree although I see three versions
1/ Business Version
2/ Home & SOHO versions
Same as Windows XP Pro – and Home
3/ Home version shifted towards being media centric
Gone are the simple days of a OS where extra features needed third party software – and their attendant headaches. I wouldn’t feel home users needing to pay for business features they would never use.
Well Windows 7 code named Vienna is just shy of two years away anyhow – a lot can happen in that time. 😉

#4: Same as Windows XP Pro – and Home
But the Home version seems to have vanished (thankfully). It’s been a while since I’ve seen machines advertised with it – they all come with the Pro version these days. Not that I could ever figure out the difference, apart from the Pro version allowing multiple users with password protection.
#5 – It wasn’t just multiple user accounts, the Home version was missing half of the security infrastructure. I suppose they noticed that everyone with a clue requested the Pro version.
The pro version of XP has a lot of stuff that only an IT guy supporting a lot of networked machines could use. The home version is just fine, and a hundred bucks less. I use it and haven’t found anything I wanted to do it, wouldn’t do…. But, like for the photography type guy who makes lousy pictures but must have the latest greatest camera hanging on his neck as jewelry, it has no bragging rights for him to be able to say “I use the pro.”
#7 Same bragging rights to… “I use Ultimate”
Bigger & more expensive must be better…c’mon! 😆
Cheers
