@JohnB you should name it "Google Reader"

@DeerHunter Do you happen to know of any good software to correct long exposure photos of the night sky and similar?

That's a link on stats ;)

@TildalWave It's just too easy to get fixated on stats. The thing to worry about it is getting good questions with great answers.

@TildalWave so your solution is to get a hydrogen stealing plane that shoots lasers?

RhysW
