Hi Peter,
Please do not post programming questions in The Lounge. Use the Q/A Section[^].
Also please use the "code" feature (from the toolbar) for your code, so that it can be readable.
And do not cross-post, be patient and someone will answer your question. You cannot ask the same question at multiple places.

What part of "if you need specific help please use the programming forums." did you assume did not apply to you?

"Scientists have found a planet way out in the cosmos that's close in size and content to Earth - an astronomical first.
But hold off on the travel plans. This rocky world is so close to its sun that it's at least 2,000 degrees hotter than here, almost certainly too hot for life."
If it's 2000 degrees hotter, how the f*ck does that qualify as "earth-like"?That's like saying Europa is "earth-like" because it's freakin' round. But whoa up there, big fella. Europa has no atmosphere, is covered in frozen methane, and it doesn't really get any heat from the sun.

the size and composition make it earth-like.
they've been finding mostly giant gas planets.

Sounds like planet populated by politicians and lawyers
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

So, they finally found JSOP's ex-wife ?
I'd rather be phishing!

Nope, there's way to much heat there to be my ex-wife (she has all the warmth of a glacier), but good joke.

Sounds like a bunch of egg-heads who will never produce anything useful are trying to appear relevant.

Don't trust the buggers: Europa is human life friendly and indeed highly populated.

As the only planets they have been able to detect to date have been bloody great giants identifying something that small must seem quite a feat, the description is probably straight hyperbole by the journalist hack reporting it.

As already mentioned, the composition and size made it Earth-like.
Saying something is "like" something else means that there are similarities, not the that two things are identical.

No: don't always have time to go see what's new and then don't always consider the images worthy. I'll try to post more often as they are wondrous to behold.

For a contract role, how do you decide if the price is good? [asking for a friend]
I've "He's" kind of taken desired annual and added 50% then gone back to a day rate. Any hints would be [voice="Jim Bowen"] super, smashing, great[/voice].

"He" hasn't yet given a price, it's a case of if the advertised amount is worth chasing.
