  2. Re:skin tight suits on The Astronaut's New Clothes · · Score: 1

    A good series of books to read on the subject are Kim Stanley Robinsons trilogy Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars. He writes of skin tight suits which when broken seal to the skin and leave the exposed skin open to the atmosphere. This results in a minor burn. Im not sure whether this is correct though?

  3. Re:Middle East Wire -- Interesting on A Tale of Two Media:Tragedy and Images · · Score: 1

    This post is quite valid.

    I am in Australia and have been watching American Networks Feeds (ABC, NBC, CNN), also local (7, 9, 10, ABC) & world feeds (BBC World, DTW). There were major differences between the broadcasts. I found that the world networks gave a good perspective of the impact that the tragedy had on the wolrd. The American networks had all the latest breaking news from within the US and also had more personal interviews and stories from victims. The Australian networks ran ABC, NBC, CNNLive coverage for extended periods of time with local newsbreaks every so often. They also concentrated on the Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, as he was staying within Washington when this attack started.

    The local channels had been broadcasting American feeds 24hrs a day since the first incident. It is only today (14 September 2001) that normal local television programming has resumed.

  4. Australian Jedi's on Star Wars II: Return of the Name · · Score: 1

    Just a reminder for all the Australian SW fans.
    Tonight (Tuesday 7th 2001) is the night that the census is being held. There has been an email circulating regarding the religion entry. If anyone saw Going Home last night there were a couple of good reasons for listing your religion as "Jedi". I heard that if there is enough Jedi converts in the country then it becomes a recognized religion. Can anyone confirm this? The results will be interesting.

    May the force be with you.
