Dunno about that; but I suspect taking images taken a few months apart to exploit the moon's libration[^] while keeping illumination levels similar would work better.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I found that those who can keep calm while solving urgent problems will give a much stable solution, while those who rush into the work-field will introduce a new bug with every one solved...

So you're a tribal programmer: 0, 1, OverflowException?

Fast coders make happy-path code quickly.
Slow coders make robust code slowly.

There's so much truth in your words... my 2 cents are that I'm a slow programmer, and my colleague-boss makes me write/rewrite the code foundations and the standard releases, while he is a fast coder and makes the tens of quick customization required day-by-day. We are achieving much more now...
Luckily I can be a fast coder too to cover his occasional absences

Well surely you need both, being able to work slowly when you have the luxury of doing so, but being able to work quickly when the need arises without churning out crap, right?

The language has a substantial stake in Web development, but it is marred by design flaws. They use it (that's the answer to at least one of those)

Good: It's popular and easy to learn No. It may be popular, but it's not easy to learn.
How did everyone learn it then?
Well they didn't, they only think they did, but they don't know even 1 percent of the subtle traps that PHP has.

Totally agree. I also agree it does have some design flaws, but like Windows 9x, some have to linger around for compatibility. It's just the nature of trying to please everyone while being so popular. Now that it's popularity has dwindles though, a face lift is really needed. Fortunately, PHP doesn't require you to use all aspects of it, so you can still write a decently designed app in it. And it's still free and multi-platform and speedy. So, I'm still using it.

ow HTML 5 has finally been standardized, Jeff Jaffe, the W3C's CEO, wants to get people talking about what to do next. His suggestion is to build an application foundation to underpin the Open Web Platform -- an operating system for the web. Going out on a limb here: HTML6? HTML10?

Wow! Really?! HTML 5 is finished? When?
Dear Jeff, please step out from your lab...

Smart. 
He's talking about the specification, not the implementation...
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Not only that - he is talking about the MARKUP only. HTML 5 is much more than the markup...
