Spacetoday.net: Opportunity launch delayed.

phffffrrt!


New Zealand to get a flatulence tax.

Sheep and cattle gas emissions account for 40% of NZ's greenhouse gases, so farmers will be taxed per head of herd.

Apparently pigs and chickens can fart tax-free.

Quark Xpress comments at VT



After a mention in Mac OS X Users, I took a look at the comments people are making about Quark Xpress on VersionTracker (a.k.a. banner ads 'r' us.) Check this page and look for the entry from PoolMouse.
