It's his way of getting back at us for all the Acronyms we use, e.g. I'hwogbaufatAwu

Wel-l-l-l-l I switched to a dark theme because I can no longer read the light ones. When I posted the quote it was black text on a dark gray background, so I switched it to white, I don't know how to do it right, sorry.

Interesting. As I had never used a dark theme, I just assumed it was coded to use a font color that complimented it?

One would think so. Here's what your last post looks with the SF Dark theme...

NASA's Cassini Spacecraft Obtains Best Views of Saturn Hexagon

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has obtained the highest-resolution movie yet of a unique six-sided jet stream, known as the hexagon, around Saturn's north pole.

This is the first hexagon movie of its kind, using color filters, and the first to show a complete view of the top of Saturn down to about 70 degrees latitude. Spanning about 20,000 miles (30,000 kilometers) across, the hexagon is a wavy jet stream of 200-mile-per-hour winds (about 322 kilometers per hour) with a massive, rotating storm at the center. There is no weather feature exactly, consistently like this anywhere else in the solar system.

Ultrafast heating of water - This pot boils faster than you can watch

Sounds like the beginning of a "death ray" Colin. If it could heat water, it could blood too.

 

[Anak]

I wonder if you could scale that concept back a little, we have oil-fired hot water baseboard heat and I've been looking into using induction coils to heat the water and stop using home heating oil.

Artificial worm starts to wriggle

The Open Worm project aims to build a lifelike copy of a nematode roundworm entirely out of computer code.

This week the creature's creators added code that gets the virtual worm wriggling like the real thing.

The next step is to hook the body up to a simulation of the worm's brain to help understand more about how and why it moves.

Sleeping spacecraft Rosetta nearly ready to wake up for comet landing

The Rosetta spacecraft is due to wake up on the morning of January 20 after an 30-month hibernation in deep space. For the past ten years, the three-ton spacecraft has been on a one-way trip to a 4 km-wide comet. When it arrives, it will set about performing a maneuver that has never been done before: landing on a comet’s surface.

The spacecraft has already achieved some success on its long journey through the solar system. It has passed by two asteroids—Steins in 2008 and Lutetia in 2010—and it tried out some of its instruments on them. Because Rosetta’s journey is so protracted, however, preserving energy has been of the utmost importance, which is why it was put into hibernation in June 2011. The journey has taken so long because the spacecraft needed to be “gravity-assisted” by many planets in order to reach the necessary velocity to match the comet’s orbit.

Would that be economy or business class sir??
