<description><![CDATA[Very popular in other forums.
Thought we'd give it a try here.

Very Easy:
-Post the 1st word that comes to mind from the previous persons post

-Let's keep it clean

-Have some fun with this

PS- Like to thank lilhurricane for the suggestion!  :)

Let's start this off.
First word is:

<title>Saturn&#x27;s moons and possible life.</title>

<description><![CDATA[http://discovermagazine.com/2009/oct/16-search-aliens-gets-harder-but-more-encouraging

Saturn's surprising moons have broadened scientists' ideas about where extraterrestrial life might be found.
by Andrew Grant
 quote:Among Saturn&#146;s substantial posse of moons&#151;61 have been discovered so far&#151;two particularly odd ones are capturing the imagination of planetary scientists. A torrent of findings has shown that giant Titan (3,200 miles wide, larger than the planet Mercury) and tiny Enceladus (just one-tenth as big) are worlds of unexpected complexity, placing them among the most promising extraterrestrial sites in our solar system to look for prebiotic chemistry or even for life itself. Research in the past several months has further fueled the excitement, yielding new hints of liquid water on Enceladus and revealing ethane lakes and methane rain on Titan.

In 2005, while exploring the Saturn system, the Cassini spacecraft made a startling discovery: Cryovolcanoes on Enceladus were spewing jets of water vapor and ice into space, possibly from a liquid water source beneath the surface. This past July researchers examining data from Cassini&#146;s mass spectrometer announced that the icy debris contains ammonia, a potent antifreeze that could keep water in a liquid state even at the deep-freeze temperatures (&#150;136 degrees Fahrenheit) measured near the vents. A month earlier, astronomers in Germany and the U.K. reported that sodium salts make up as much as 2 percent of the ice grains in the jets. Such a high salt concentration suggests the presence of a buried reservoir of liquid water. (Long-frozen ice would include little sodium, but a lingering underground lake would turn salty from dissolved minerals, just as the oceans have on Earth.)

<title>computing with brain chaos...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23363698</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://discovermagazine.com/2009/oct/06-brain-like-chip-may-solve-computers-big-problem-energy

The future of computing may depend on embracing the chaos that defines human thinking.
by Douglas Fox
 quote: Kwabena Boahen&#146;s love affair with digital computers began and ended in 1981, when he was 16.

Boahen lived outside the city of Accra in the West African nation of Ghana. His family&#146;s sprawling block house stood in a quiet field of mango and banana trees. One afternoon Boahen&#146;s father rolled down the driveway with a surprise in the trunk of his Peugeot: a RadioShack TRS-80&#151;the family&#146;s first computer&#151;purchased in England.

Young Boahen parked the machine at a desk on the porch, where he usually dismantled radios and built air guns out of PVC pipe. He plugged the computer into a TV set to provide a screen and a cassette recorder so he could store programs on tapes, and soon he was programming it to play Ping-Pong. But as he read about the electronics that made it and all other digital computers work, he soured on the toy.

Moving the Ping-Pong ball just one pixel across the screen required thousands of 1s and 0s, generated by transistors in the computer&#146;s processor that were switching open and shut 2.5 million times per second. Boahen had expected to find elegance at the heart of his new computer. Instead he found a Lilliputian bureaucracy of binary code. &#147;I was totally disgusted,&#148; he recalls. &#147;It was so brute force.&#148; That disillusionment inspired a dream of a better solution, a vision that would eventually guide his career.

<title>[S@H] With any amount of luck...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23326835</link>
<description><![CDATA[By Sunday I hope to have a new machine up and running - part of 2 rebuilds I need to do over the next couple of weeks.

I am going to have to update BOINC to newer versions for an Athlon II and Phenom II.  Adding a nVidia GTS250 to the mix as well.

Got all of the parts today - just need to find the time and pace where kids can't hurt things... :)

The boys want to see how it goes together sooooooo bad...  :)
