Nice, but it took me a while to find it. It only appears on the "Pro" skin, and I am set to use the default. |

'View new posts'. Read all the new stuff on Spirit and Oppy, then anything else I see that looks interesting. |

Doug, looking back that sounds more harsh than it was meant. Particularly since I mostly lurk and am enriched by other's postings without really contributing anything myself. I also usually open these pictures in a new tab (SeaMonkey) and that still works fine. But I thought I recalled them also opening in the default size even when opened in a new window. |

Clicking on a thumbnail picture now opens the picture IN A FULL SCREEN sized browser window, bypassing my set default browser window size. Not to full screen, but to a full sized window. This is not the way to last board version behaved. If I want things open to full screen, I'll do it myself. Anyone else find this as annoying as I do? |

From the DrudgeReport, unattributed: QUOTE "Martian soil may contain life Thu Aug 23 2007 11:30:10 ET The soil on Mars may contain microbial life! Joop Houtkooper of the University of Giessen, Germany, will declare on Friday the Viking spacecraft may have found signs of a weird life form based on hydrogen peroxide on the subfreezing, arid Martian surface. His analysis of one of the experiments carried out by the Viking spacecraft suggests that 0.1 percent of the Martian soil could be of biological origin. That is roughly comparable to biomass levels found in some Antarctic permafrost, home to a range of hardy bacteria and lichen. Developing.... " |

" NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer has spotted an amazingly long comet-like tail behind a star streaking through space at supersonic speeds." Hmmm, what is the speed of sound in space?  |

Quoting John Shannon, NASA's deputy shuttle program manager on various news sites: [IRT fixing the loose thermal blanket] QUOTE Duct tape, it turns out, won't work in the vacuum of space, he added. Huh? Why wouldn't tape work in a vacuum? The thermal environment may make it unusable, but vacuum? |

I'm having problems downloading MMB from http://midnightmarsbrowser.blogspot.com. I get a 274,436 byte file (MidnightMarsBrowser1.4.8.zip) that WinXP finds corrupt. Edit: Never mind. PKZip unzips it just fine. Strange though that Windows built-in unzip utility finds the file corrupt. |

QUOTE (Bill Harris @ Mar 30 2006, 07:37 AM) Unofficially, my take is that the wheel is toast. An animation was posted c ouple of weeks ago that showed radial play or movement when that wheel was "rocked"; this suggests to me that there was a wheel bearing or gearbox failure. Looks terminal. A bit confusing. Later information indicated the motor was showing an 'open circuit' - it was drawing no current. If it was not drawing any current, how could it have wiggled the wheel the way that it did? Is it now a double failure; A seized garbox/bearing followed by a burned out motor? |

QUOTE (Shaka @ Mar 16 2006, 04:57 PM) Mars_armer's authoritative report that the motor circuit failed "open" indicates a break in the circuit - a broken wire or a broken motor brush. ..... Are the wheel drive motors really DC motors with brushes?!? I would have expected stepping motors. |

Interesting item on the left of the pix about 1/3 of the way down. Looks like a black rectangular block hovering above another rock. |
