I've done a bit of trolling and came across some interesting articles. The first one was from yesterday. If any of you have a garden and lots of hair to spare, you may want to try this out. My dad always warned me about accepting free money. This is why. I found this gravity thing and this space plane thing interesting. While this story makes you wonder how accurate any of our history is. (BTW, I'm currently burning through "The Roman Empire" by Isaac Asimov. Quite a quick read.) It also seems as if Californians will be having power troubles for some time to come..
Finally, the one I think that will interest some people I know is about a gambler suing a casino. We'll see how that pans out. (All of these were from the ShackNews.)

where'd you get ahold of that Roman Empire book by Asimov!?! I've been looking all over the place!
Isn't there also a prequel to that book, about the Roman Republic?

Re: Net Support. I'm not sure where to get a copy, I haven't looked into that yet.
Re: The Roman Empire. Actually, I think it's my dad's. I found it downstairs while looking for a Win95 certificate, and came across a whole shelf of dusty tomes and old textbooks. I knew about it before, but I didn't have an interest in history then. After graduating, I've been very curious about history (ancient or modern), so I've been sucking up anything historically related.
Also, you're quite right. There was a previous book by Asimov called "The Roman Republic" which extends from the founding of Rome until the rise of Augustus (Octavian) Caesar.
