"As seen from Mars", through a telescope.
As seen from the surface with the naked eye, Earth wouldn't be much larger than what Mars looks like from here.

People are often surprised when I point out Venus to them, because they assumed it was a star.

Heck, some people are surprised when I point out the sun is a star.

You don't know how right you are! (Or maybe you do.) 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|

I do.
I've also corrected people in the past who were trying to look knowledgeable asking what the closest star to Earth is, expecting Proxima Centauri as the answer...

There's a great quiz question: what is the name of the nearest star to Earth? Amazing how many people don't know!
|
|
|
|
|
Is it Andromeda, right? Riiiight? Where do I get my prize? 
|
|
|
|
|
No, silly, it's Uranus. 
|
|
|
|
|
I know Pluto is no longer a star, but I thought Andromeda WAS Uranus, unless they've changed it again? 
|
|
|
|
|
I suspect them people wouldn't know Uranus from your elbow either.

... Or even Uranus from urea -- which can be problematic, if you shove the earbuds in too far.

Hi All,
Looking up some WPF stuff for an interview Monday (thank you Abhishek Sur) and I have found that I have done the usual generally think something is hard, avoid it, need to do it, learn in a rush.
It doesn't seem to be that hard...fatal thing to say I know. 
It seems that you can do some stuff in a different style, mostly...
Mostly scripting...

Wait until you try to do anything custom. And binding... shiver

Nah, it's not that bad. Been using WPF for years now and it's actually pretty nice. The customization ability is powerful.

ASP.Net another one of those things I don't really know (I will have a look though!)

Good luck with the interview
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

Good luck.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
