Interesting; have you had issues loading any popular websites?


Funnily enough, I must have dropped the certificate for bing somehow. It hasn't affected any popular sites yet though.


'"With this mission, we have visited every single planet in the Solar System," said Nasa's administrator Charles Bolden.'

Uhhhhhhh... Should somebody tell him?


> Should somebody tell him?

Bolden says he still considers Pluto a planet. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/11739763/Pluto...


Considering the definition of a plutoid is effectively "a planet further away than neptune", I'm inclined to shun the plutoists and agree with him.


Ceres was robbed of planetary status before it was cool.


This isn't talked about more often but its kinda funny. During roughly the American Revolution there were 10 planets.

Neptune/Pluto weren't yet discovered. Instead we had Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, George (Uranus), Ceres, Vesta, and several other minor asteroids.


Wow. So many downvotes. You guys must really hate pluto. Fyi. Definition is from iau. Earth would also fall under same criteria if it was further than neptune...


Anyone care to explain the downvotes? Are you disagreeing with what I'm saying? This place is more like reddit every day.


I don't follow...have we not visited all the planets? Perhaps he means we have flown past them all?


Pluto = dwarf planet, so it's irrelevant to statement. Also, we certainly haven't visited all dwarf planets.


The probe was launched before Pluto was re-classified as a dwarf planet. Either way, this is an immense achievement in both will and engineering.


Does this actually exist? Looks neat, but I want to know if preorder money is being used to develop the product that I'm preordering.


This is my number 1 concern. There are so many vaporware hardware projects now-a-days that I'm hesitant to pre-order. I feel like I'd rather just wait because by the time this is eventually released, there may be 2-3 other products that do the same thing, only better.


It's like Kickstarter, without the accountability of even the comments section!


I might add that this is one reason it's a good idea to have flash disabled by default :)
