    Are Deaf Child road signs embarrassing?

    Got two on either side of my parents' house on a dead end dirt road and they didn't bother me. But some stupid people still went fast because it was in the middle of nowhere. I don't remember if they are still there. They were when I was off at RIT. There is one on the one way street where I...

    Question about what happened to the plaque

    I was wondering what they did with the AGB plaque after they melted it. Recycled? Sold as scrap? Returned as a lump to put somewhere as a reminder of our victory? Was it melted down at the metal shop at RIT or sent somewhere else?

    Jupiter's stormy Great Red Spot is shrinking

    Wonder if it has anything to do with the Oval BA that was made from 3 white ovals that were made in 1939. The zone the 3 ovals were in was divided by dark areas in 1939 and then the bright areas shrank into those 3 ovals, which had merged into the big white oval,which turned red and had been...

    Contact the govenor of VT and tell him NOT to veto Gay marriage bill

    The president of my company and a bunch of other companies in Vermont signed and sent a letter to the legislators telling them to override the veto because having gay marriage would attract young educated people to this state by adding to the aura of equality and respect. Then they'd get the...

    Kepler Spacecraft Sets Sights on Earth-like Planets

    Kepler is looking for the reduction of light when the planet passes in front of the star. So it will take a few years to see more than one of those for each planet. A small fraction of planets can pass between their stars and us, the others have orbits that don't cross in front of the star from...

    Mom aims to save endangered Clearview program - NJ.com Someone I know from New Jersey sent me this link, saying that it was about her friend's mom and her younger sister. Looks like they are trying to keep it open because it encourages socialization with hearing students who learn sign...

    Going up ... and the next floor is outer space (Space Elevator)

    They'd extend way beyond that to geosynchronous orbit. The counterweight would be beyond geosynchronous orbit above the connection point on the surface. The top would be traveling faster than the bottom as the Earth rotates due to the top being at a greater distance from the Earth's center and...

    Atlanta's latest cost cutting measure? Turning off the lights on the interstates

    I have *never* seen an interstate with lights. I see many people turning up to high beams at night and never had a problem with it being too dark. No lights equals no light-changers to hit.

    I looked at another site that had more complete coverage in that area. Here's the black box some people think is censorship: Google Sky Here's the same spot at another site. You can see the same bright star that is over the black box and the same cloud of dust that's partially covered by the...

    Right, the link I posted to the star is in a different place in the sky from that blank place that was posted before, which was claimed to be a censored patch of the sky. The sky maps are made of lots of smaller pictures put together and sometimes they could miss a spot or two. For other gaps...
