Does anybody remember the booklet Newtonian Notes? That was a great source for such information back in the pre-computer days. smile

RUSH 30th anniversary DVD

Posted By Darian Rachal
Ivan, When I first saw your post, the first thing that went through my mind was that Rush Limbaugh had put out a DVD to celebrate his 30th year on the air. 8O Then I realized he hasn't been on that long.

Study Casts Doubt on Water on Mars' Surface

Posted By Darian Rachal
Curt, It did seem to me that there was a "desire" to think that water had caused the features and dismiss the "less glamorous" idea that they were caused by wind and sand.

Bug ID?

Paul, I have no idea what it is it, but it might be the larval(?) stage of something fairly common. Just a guess on my part.

Peter, where do I find "classified Tabs" ? thanks JM
John, it should be located at the top of your screen between the News and Aution "Tabs". All the Tabs are to the right of the AstroMart logo.

Be Patient

Good article, Rod. It's funny, I find myself genuinely concerned about Moslems wanting to have a separate set of laws for themselves in European countries, but I just find it difficult to buy into this idea of a world wide Islamic threat that "conveniently" replaced the worldwide Communist threat. :S

Black, white, wrong or right?

Good post, Floyd. The idea of some sort of "racial identity" is absurd. Certainly there is nothing wrong with groups celebrating cultures, like at Greek, German, Spanish festivals, etc.; those are great fun.

The idea of some sort of racial consciousness starts to sound like a Nazi mentality.

A Ray of Hope

Posted By Darian Rachal
Rod, I wonder if maybe some of the Republican losses might be attributable to people like me who were once registered Republican, but now register as Independent?

After the fireworks that I gleefully anticipate at the Democrat convention, I do not think the Republicans have much to worry about. There might be rioting in the streets, however.
