In other news air found to be a popular breathing medium among humans.

Only someone so completely and totally enthralled with Microsoft couldn't see this coming a mile away. I've been preaching diversity for the better part of a decade. I think people are finally listening. If nothing else I hope that my company, at the very least, replaces all basic file servers with Linux based servers. There is NO reason this can't be done and the diversity hardens a network from total collapse. I know for a fact that our corp DHCP and DNS servers are Unix based as is our firewall.

Geer's story is old news, but it is noteworthy that even Wired is chiming in on this.

Comet heading straight at Earth could cause problems with atmosphere, life as we know it.
