like last year, Short & Martin nominated Gomez not. -- nm - mud Jul 12, 08:38 10

  - Could still be liquid water, I believe, if the pressure is high enough. I'd have to check the phase diagram. -- nm - Swilcan Baron Jul 12, 08:28 3
    - well sure, but ... outer atmosphere. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 08:32 2

    - I have 32 in my work laptop. they don't mess around. -- nm - amanda Jul 12, 06:55
