    @bilups: Actually, the sun is VERY loud, which is why the Corona is as hot as the core, but the area in between is not. At least according to the show on the Sun I was watching last night said. I just love hearing the words "Coronal Mass Ejection".

    FAKE. The EXIF data contains no mention of any camera, and the sun looks too regular.

    It looks out of proportion. Does it not appear as though the shuttle is right next to the sun? The sun just looks too big.

    @Woooot!-Offing_GitEmSteveDave: I seriously doubt the shuttle can cast a shadow on the ground while it's in orbit. It's WAY too far up there and refraction in the atmosphere would disperse the light and wipe out the shadow.

    @PanhandleJoe: I actually know how to use one. My mom had one when I was a kid and I thought it was like the coolest thing EVER, especially since I was not allowed to touch it. Since Forbidden Fruit tastes the sweetest (and since I know how to use one) you can see that I did what I was not supposed to, the price of which was getting more than my share of spankings, which then lead to the development of stealth technology which I still use today. (I no longer get caught.)

Just give me a minute to crank up the old CodeBreakinWindTalker_GitEmSteveDave-otron 3000, and I'll see what it spits out.

    You probably don't want to hear what I have to say because I'm really biased.


    In fact I JUST built twin Core i7 gaming systems this past weekend for my bro-in law and I running Windows 7 64 too!


    I've always sworn by Intel CPUs and chipsets for their reliability, but my mind is blown with the Core i7.


    Newegg actually GAVE AWAY AMD CPUs with our orders!

    Now I have three of these "brisbane" things sitting around taking up space.


    So anyway, good luck.
