Very cool. It looked like melted quartz.
Opal is amorphous hydrated SiO2 so it is sort of "melted" quartz (SiO2). Hyalite opal at this location is thought to have formed via direct vapor deposition from silica saturated steam.

Pearl Harbor was a great movie. I wonder whose fingerprint that is on the left side of the photo?

That wasn't in Pearl Harbor. :hmm:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Crossroads
Operation Crossroads was a series of nuclear weapon tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll in mid-1946. It was the first test of a nuclear weapon after the Trinity nuclear test in July 1945,
and the first detonation of any nuclear device following the Fat Man detonation on August 9, 1945. Its purpose was to investigate the effect of nuclear weapons on naval ships.

Hey, this is a tech forum. Stop with that earth sciences crap.

You know I'm kidding.

All desktops are just a variation of a theme...

There's more variation on GNU/Linux though. Off the top of my head, I can think of 4 desktops that are drastically different from each other using the default install. Add in the individual customization, and it's almost limitless. The only constraint is sane usability, but there's nothing that says it has to be usable if you're a masochist.

Is Coffee Cup any good?

I find it pretty useful. Especially for a free program. I'm running an older version - the latest appears to no longer feature built-in FTP, so no upgrading for me.
I can just right click a file, pick a server directory from a drop-down list, and upload.
Find & Replace not only works on open documents but also all files in a chosen directory - handy when you rename a file and have to update any and all links to it.
It can validate your HTML online via WC3 Markup Validation Service.
You can save code snippets, create projects w/ document dependencies, spell check, bookmark lines, preview a webpage in any browser you've listed. Also you have syntax highlighting, and line numbers if you wish.

Every now and then I think there must be something better out there, so I look around, but end up sticking with CoffeeCup.
