... Using a normal 'visible-light' telescope, we see just a tiny part of all the stuff in the Universe. ... Radio, X-ray and infrared are examples of other types of light. ... Without telescopes that collect these exotic types of light, we'd never see a huge chunk of the objects we know are floating out there. ... The womb , or collapsing cloud, has over 500 times more material than the Sun. ... The cloud is expected to give birth to a very brilliant star up to 100 times more massive than our Sun! ...

... When the computer loads a boot sector on a normal Linux system, what it loads is actually a part of lilo, called the ``first stage boot loader''. ... This reads the configuration file /etc/lilo.conf and writes the boot loaders, and information about the operating systems it can load, to the hard disk. ... The configuration file for lilo is /etc/lilo.conf . ... It is easy enough to get something wrong and screw up your master boot record and make your system unuseable. ... Set up lilo on a floppy...
