Just out of curiosity, why are you using only one thread on a dual CPU
system? Is it just so you can keep using your computer in the meantime?

I'm actually using Thunderbird already but only for emails. I weren't aware
of its newsreader abilities. I'll try this now!
To sven:
Since you attach your images i can see them with the web browser without any
problems and your model is great!
Keep it up!

To Roman:
My pleasure! The fault was on my side - I should have done it from the very
first moment that way (attaching). Sorry again for the temporary
inconvenience.
Greetings,
Sven

Seeing features and their shadows as signs...
That reminds me for the stunning observation, that some surface feature on
planet Mars (some big mountain) would look like some sort of face.

Yep... Try a Wikipedia or a Google images search for "face on Mars"
(Google images gave 2.7 million hits...) :-)

PS. Both Wikipedia and Google showed a "happy face" image on Mars as
well. :) <--- My Martian Happy Face

And now new "evidence" of life on Mars emerges:

I hope it isn't one of the sand people. Those creatures are vicious... ;)

I make a little prediction: when Spirit will fail (as it is due to do some
day) it will be blamed on the mysterious Martians!!

I think, we see here on of the POV-Ray programmers (probably Mr. Buck or Mr.
Cason) in hi real environment, making thoughts how to improve POV-Ray for
those Earthlings...
Actually, the orign of this thinking POV-Ray programmer is not planet Mars,
they still come from Earth. But they are an olde race, a saurian race. At
the time the intelligent saurian species destroyed nearly the planet Earth
in one of their last wars against themselfes, they managed to settle for
some time on Planet Mars. But that was just a relatively short period in
their existence, because Mars was already unhabitable. So, when having had
all resources together and the scientific knowledge to travel much further
into space, they left Mars.
Now, some of them came back to observe the new intelligent life on Earth,
the mammal life (we humans). A long time they observe us. The first contact
happened thousands of years ago. Not in a physical way as everyone would
expect based on our movies, no, the first encounters are on a mind base:
they measure us on the closeness or distance between our cultural values how
a life should be lived (how to behave, how to handle situations), and how we
at the end of the day really life our life - how close we come to our own
moral ethics (which is: not even close). That is, how we're being evaluated
since centuries. The first contact had happened a long time ago, since then
we're always observed and measured in this very descent and unrecognizeable
way. Their guidelines in trans-species contacts are just requesting absolute
descentness, preventing large cultural shocks for the younger race.
Now, since humans evolve and have now computers, the Saurians brought now
their second tool of evaluating our species into the game: POV-Ray. This
tool allows them to get even a better understanding of our inner dreams and
values. The NASA image shows probably D. Buck or C. Casson (both are
sauropods) sitting and evaluating our posts in this forum. The more we
evolve, the more direct contacts they will allow us to see from them, that
is why we finally see now one of the evaluating POV programmers on that
photo.
Once they consider mankind ready for the final contact, we gonna meet them
physically.
