*Kirjoittelin taannoin, että Newtoniikan mukaan alkuräjäys on fraktaali supernovaräjähdyksestä. Täytyy sanoa, etten edes itse tiedostanut kuinka oikeassa olin. BANG! Sivu 65 kertoo supernovista ja hypernovista näin: "Gammasäteiden tarina. Romahtavien tähtien räjähdysten purkausten kesto oli mikä tahansa muutamista sekunneista muutamaan minuuttiin. Gammasädepurkaukset näyttivät jakautuneen tasaisesti taivaalle. Nykyään uskotaan että purkaukset kulkeutuvat kohteista, jotka ovat noin miljardin valovuoden päässä meistä.

The Windows 7 Beta includes a beta of Internet Explorer 8.

As announced in February 2008, Internet Explorer 8 sends an updated user-agent string when interacting with web servers. Since we last blogged about the User-Agent string, the Internet Explorer team introduced Compatibility View and today, the Windows team is releasing the Windows 7 Beta. Each of these events has a small impact on the User-Agent string, as I will outline in this post. The Trident/4.0 User-Agent String In order to help users visit sites that block the “MSIE 8.0†user-agent string, IE8 will send the “MSIE 7.0†version information when viewing sites with Compatibility View enabled.
