yes…but when you fire them up they get a mind of their own.

As far as I’m concerned, no planets outside of our solar system have actually been found. None have actually been seen but rather are said to be there based on anomalies like flickering light from the star or other things. I really shake my head when they try to tell us what they are composed of. There is no way they could know that. Just think about how many things we had been told about the planets in our system had to be revised when instrumented probes actually went there and took pictures and measurements. There may be other planetary systems but until someone or something with a camera goes there, it won’t be conclusive to me.
Yes the final frontier. But its an unlimited frontier. Universe is expanding at a speed of 74.3 plus or minus 2.1 kilometers per second per megaparsec. Megaparsec is equal to 3.26 million light years or 30,800,000,000,000,000,000 km.

Yes, you have a point. But I think they use complex equipments and its all based on proven theories. Yes, I have often wondered how they determine what the planet consists of and its atmosphere from here itself. Its only recently they said they found water on the moon.
Here is a picture of how they spy on comets ;D

Amazing video of that nano-quadcopter, check out some of the other videos shown in the grid after the first completes.

We are off for a slightly early anniversary cruise.
I’ll be around whenever I manage to get some internet access.

So you weren’t on the Carnival Triumph cruise ship then the scene would have been somewhat different after the fire, loss of power, no toilets, sleeping on deck and towed back to port by tug.

This time, I was on the Norwegian Pearl. Alice and I where on the Triumph back in 2004 and had a great time.

There is no doubt it looks a wonderful ship, only problem being when there is an engine room issue everything gets stuffed including the toilets. This isn’t the first time this has happened on cruise liners, it really is about time they got their act together about redundant systems, there has to be some form of backup.
I know they are massive ships and need more than a little portable generator, so the designers need to be gearing up to have effective redundant systems so if one side goes down the other is capable at reduced output to support the ships systems whilst it crawls back (or under tow) to the nearest port.

I have 3 of 10. But I’ve took another suggestion. So, maybe, 4 of 10. avast! Mobile Security of course is among them.

I only have two (9 & 10) I use Google Calendar and Gnotes that covers my todo stuff.

I have two of them. AMS and the fantastic Dolphin Browser. I don’t need any of the others. I’d like to get rid of things like Google+ and some of the other pre-loaded Google stuff but the option to uninstall is not present.
Instead of buying a new laptop, you can give your laptop a screen upgrade or buy a new one if something happened to your screen

I have been considering dolphin, but two things stop me, 1. I don’t use the browser much on the phone (even though it has a decent size screen and 2. Avast Mobile Security doesn’t yet support dolphin HD browser.

From what I’ve read, it may also be a while before the Dolphin Browser is supported.
Hope it happens sooner rather than later since it’s a great browser.
