Sun Blasts Another CME At Earth and Mars 66

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday January 24, 2012 @12:22AM from the careful-you-could-put-an-eye-out dept.

astroengine writes "On Friday, the sun hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) at our planet that sparked a strong geomagnetic storm and beautiful aurorae at high latitudes. Late on Sunday (EST), the sun unleashed yet another Earth-bound CME after an M9 flare erupted over a particularly active sunspot region — the CME is expected to hit Earth on Tuesday and Mars on Wednesday. This series of flares and CMEs have ignited the strongest period of solar storms since 2005, according to an NOAA space weather advisory."

I totally agree, in no time MicroSoft will be generating millions of bogus OOXML documents to skew this new metric, just like they have generated millions of bogus websites to skew netcraft metrics. Everytime you sign up for a passport account (and don't use it, then sign up for another because you can't remember the BS info you used last time you signed up), that's another website. All they have to do is place an OOXML document or two there as well and now the evidence is overwhelming that OOXML is supierior since "everybody" is using it.
