Gateway – Fredrick Pohl
An alien race called the Heechee left hundreds of working star ships on a local asteroid with no instruction manual. Human prospectors roll the dice and take them on far-flung missions that are as likely to kill them as to pay off with jackpot science bonuses.
๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ญ๐ญ:๐ฎ๐ฒ teaches that Terah was seventy years of age when he begat Abram.
๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ญ๐ญ:๐ฏ๐ญ teaches that Terah took Abram to Harran (in modern Turkey near the border with Syria).
๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ญ๐ญ:๐ฏ๐ฎ teaches that Terah lived to be 205 years old, which means he lived 135 years after Abram was born.
But ๐๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ณ:๐ฐ teaches that Abram, who left Harran at age 75 according to ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ญ๐ฎ:๐ฐ, didn’t actually leave that place until after his father died (when Abram was 135). So either Genesis is teaching falsely, or Acts is teaching falsely. We report, you decide.

gparted – Partition your storage media. Does everything Partition Magic does for you under Windows, but it’s free, as in free beer. One caveat: if you try to set up a disk for Windows 98, the installation disk doesn’t like it for some mysterious reason, so you need to use the ancient fdisk program under MS-DOS for that.
