I use 98Lite and am very, very happy. Besides removing Internet Exploder, it allows you to use the Win95 explorer as your shell rather than the slower, crankier, Win98 explorer.
My uptime is measured in weeks now, and I would guesstimate months if my wife would stop using MSN Messenger.
Hah! I thought about that, actually, but the marked-up pictures there are from Hoagland himself. I just happened to catch Hoagland's interview on Coast to Coast and saw the story appear on Slashdot almost simultaneously.
Interestingly, though I haven't a link for it, Sir Arthur C. Clarke maintains that the south polar region of Mars is full of Banyan-like trees, while Hoagland seems to believe, from the interview, that the massively cratered Southern Hemisphere became that way as early as 65M years ago, making the explosion of the Mystery Planet(TM) the cause for dinosaur extinction.

One neat thing about the info released today is that it supports what Richard Hoagland has been saying for months. See pictures here and here.
At his website you can find out how this validates the theory that Mars was once the satellite of the planet that formed the asteroid belt when it broke up for unknown reasons. (The pattern of water is indicative of tidal action.)
CRT emits light, doesn't have to worry about latency and visual memory causing ghosting (a problem, I've heard, with TFT and OLED). CRTs also handle colors better. Some of the comparisons and an overview of LCD technology are at ZDNet and ErgoDynamix
Larry Niven and "Cautionary Tale."
It wasn't that the alien was long-lived, but that it was a ramscoop pilot, living thousands of years real-time at close to lightspeed, so subjective time was short. The alien lamented the anaerobic ecology of the old, pre-photosynthesis earth. Our predecessors saw us coming and accepted their gradual replacement. Hence the cautionary tale.
It might piss people off, but my job is what I would be doing if I was independently wealthy. I work during holidays because it's just too much fun to miss.!
BBSs can still have a valid web presence. Pyroto Mountain is a perfect example. Originally a BBS, it grew and adapted. It's chat, trivia, message board, and, to quote my daughter's animatronic Tigger, fun-fun-fun-fun-fun.
