SETI Institute to shut down alien-seeking radio dishes

RichardGrimmer

Isn't that just the Allen Array, rather that SETI as a whole? They only (IIRC) managed to get a few of the planned 450ish up and running - as I read that, they're saying only that they can't do any more, and that they can't keep the few they've already got up and running.... Doesn't most of their data come from Arecibo anyway?

C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

That was my impression... I think this is just the Alien Array losing their funding.

Poxy website! :mad: When I clicked on the picture of the dishes, it resized my browser down to fit the picture (which was no bigger than what I clicked on to get a closer look). I just assumed this was a popup and closed down my browser, loosing my other open tabs! :mad:

I've got it stuck too now. Curse me.

See, that's one of many reasons I use Chrome... It remembers your tabs, and gives you a convenient link to re-open sets of tabs you accidentally closed

Inertia. I've been using FF for ages and just haven't got round to trying chrome.

So does Firefox - if you know which bits to press. It can do it automagically too.

Finally some got some sense... stop spending money on what may be out there and spend money on what is actually here on earth... spend than money on fixing the deficit, funding public school,municipalities etc.

Anyway, don't you remember the day when they were formed? :confused: Don't tell me ... stars were so much better in those days, bigger, brighter, more twinkly? :rolleyes:

That makes a certain amount of sense, but I don't want to be asked about the last session I had open every time I start my browser. I want it to know when I shut the last session by mistake and when i just want to start my usual session. FF has an add-on/plugin that does this when it crashes, but I've probably turned off the "show me last session every time I start" cause I usually keep my browser open all day and I found it irritating. Is chrome that intelligent?

It is difficult to recall, after all, I've had so many big bangs.

Under the History menu in FF there should be a "Restore Previous Session" option. Clicking this restores the previous session. This is no longer an add-on.

All browsers do that. That is part of the definition. Sorry IE. :)
