Bedrock in northern Quebec may be the oldest known piece of the earth’s crust

Bedrock in northern Quebec may be the oldest known piece of the earth’s crust

A swath of bedrock in northern Quebec may be the oldest known piece of the earth’s crust.

In an article appearing in Friday’s issue of the journal Science, scientists report that portions of that bedrock are 4.28 billion years old, formed when the earth was less than 300 million years old.

“These rocks paint this picture of an early earth that looked pretty much like the modern earth,” said Richard W. Carlson of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and one of the authors of the paper.

Other scientists are intrigued, but not yet entirely convinced that the rocks are quite that old.

“There is a certain amount of healthy skepticism that needs to play a role here,” said Stephen J. Mojzsis, a professor of geological sciences at the University of Colorado. Dr. Mojzsis said the new research was well done, but that he thought these were younger sedimentary rocks, pressed together out of the remnants of earlier rocks that were indeed 4.28 billion years old.

“I hope that I’m wrong,” Dr. Mojzsis said. “If that happens, I believe there will be a land rush by geologists to northern Quebec.”

At present, the oldest dated rocks are in the Canadian Northwest, at 4.03 billion years old. Geologists have also found older bits of the earth: tiny, zircon crystals as old as 4.36 billion years old, embedded within younger rocks in Western Australia. The age of the earth is more than 4.5 billion years.

Radioactive elements trapped within zircons provide precise ages, but Dr. Carlson and his collaborators at McGill University and the University of Quebec have not found any zircons in the Quebec bedrock. Instead, they determined the age of the rocks from the amounts of neodymium and samarium, two rare earth elements.....

People Buying Used PCs for Salvage Copies of Windows XP

People Buying Used PCs for Salvage Copies of Windows XP

Hey, what the hell people? I thought we were finally cool with Vista. We're all PCs, right? So why are analysts yapping about people buying used computers just for copies of Windows XP?

Apparently, according to IDC and computer repair outfit Rescuecom, it's cheaper for businesses to pick up a used PC with Windows XP, than it is to buy a brand new computer with Vista and downgrade it. The flip side of this trend is that shady resellers are slapping bootleg copies of XP on used computers, so you're safer buying used Dells and HPs or other mass maker machines, which are more likely to have a legit license, says Gartner. In particular, avoid eBay and Craigslist.

Honestly, if you're that desperate to get a copy of XP, I'd grab a volume license from your corporate hell workplace (though this obviously doesn't work for business themselves). They probably won't notice. [ComputerWorld via The Raw Feed]]
