I just read, current science seems to indicate the Sun won't kill the
earth with a supernova after all.  Earlier models goofed up the loss of
mass due to its conversion to energy, or something like that, so it now
looks like the Earth will be spared being engulfed by the sun.  Only
Mercury and Venus are in trouble.

So go ahead, get to work on crackin MD5, you'll have plenty of time ;-)
