There will be an interesting celestial event called a selenelion for NZ'ers.
This is where the blood moon can be seen at the same time as the rising sun due to some sort of atmospheric refraction.
Best viewed in the lower south island but still some might see it further north given a good view of the opposing horizons.
The BBC is THE best broadcasting agency in the world. It has provided an outlet for so many different arts, science and cultural programs that would never have been made with out the public funding it receives and not tied to being a slave to advertising agencies and the wares they are trying to flog.
Because this way kids can get paid for apps with out having to steal their parents credit cards, they just make them pay indirectly through their power bills. Genius!.
An antibiotic with a viral infection is not a terrible idea. A virual infection will reduce your immune system opening yourself up to all sorts of bacterial infections, With the added effect of placebo, the patient will be feeling fine in no time.
I have had numerous of these SPAM messages, being an IT technician for a lot of small businesses, who do, unfortunately still rely on their ISP email addresses. (I have tried and tried to get them off these).
All the messages I have received so far have been redirecting to the following sequential domains: http://workathomefree1.com/ through to http://workathomefree19.com/
With the following whois information: (unsurprisingly based in India)

Registrar: TRUNKOZ TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD. D/B/A OWNREGISTRAR.COM
Referral URL: http://www.ownregistrar.com/

We could always build an army of protesting robots to do it for us.
They would be able to chant and wave pickets for as long as their charge lasts, while we can still go to work and earn our 1%
It's called [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence]Planned obsolescence[/url] [Wikipedia.org] in the industry. Kinda illegal in most places, but proving it is something else entirely.
Though probably not the oldest piece of equipment owned by a/.'er, I have faithfully been using my logitech mx518 as my primary mouse (work and home) for the past 7 years, and it is still going strong.
I see no reason to 'upgrade' a component when it is still a comfortable and functioning device.
Or maybe it is just that I cannot afford new stuff?
