    Re: Earth is in fact growing

    The orbital radius of an object is independent of its mass, in the limiting case of a small mass orbiting a vastly larger one (which is an excellent approximation for the Earth's orbit). Energy...

    Re: PS3 or high end computer

    Having tried out 64-bit Linux (since it was equally presented . . . too equally), I must wholeheartedly agree. I didn't even try running games, but for crying out loud, Flash doesn't work on 64-bit...
