    Only one hemisphere of the planet Mercury has a bitmap surface. The other hemisphere is a smooth gray surface.

    Their explanation: The planet textures used in Space Simulator are compiled from NASA photographs and reference material. The NASA data on Mercury is incomplete, covering only one hemisphere of the planet. One hemisphere was therefore intentionally left blank, reflecting this lack of data.

    Well, how inconsiderate of them. They should have put THIS SIDE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK or something...

    well, if the server is running BeOS, you can always check by calling is_computer_on_fire()

    note: this function actually exists in the beos kernel kit, it is defined as
    double is_computer_on_fire(void)
