Virtualization the cure for software setup.
Quote
The hidden benefit from virtualization is that users can unpack a ready-to-run collection of software components--operating system and all--and drop it onto a fresh, empty partition of the computer called a virtual machine. No muss, no fuss, no driver updates, no configuration file tweaking, no conflicts with other software.
You missed a solar eclipse.
Quote
Scientists from around the world traveled to prime viewing locations to watch the event, which was the last total solar eclipse until August 2008. During a total eclipse, the Moon obscures virtually all of the Sun, affording a rare opportunity to study the Sun's atmosphere, including the solar corona and clouds of dense gas called prominences.

The Expedition 13 crew, however, has a six-month space mission ahead of them to relieve Expedition 12 commander Bill McArthur and flight engineer Valery Tokarev, who have served aboard the ISS since their orbital arrival in October 2005.
