here's the coral cache anyhow http://www.fool.com.nyud.net:8090/Server/foolprint .aspx?file=/news/mft/2005/mft05070623.htm

You'd think by now people would automatically try the Coral Cache version of the page when a link is Slashdotted.

Good old coral cache

http://www.cdfreaks.com.nyud.net:8090/news/12061

One thing I hacked together for a friend's site serving out a lot of video was an automatic redirector to the Coral Cache (not as neat as a torrent plugin would be, but cool enough, I thought) which he could activate when his bandwidth was approaching his monthly limit.

I just used mod_rewrite to parse the URL and append .nyud.net:8090 to the hostname and send a redirect to the client. If this were made into a plugin which would combine detecting some bandwidth threshold with the option to fall back on the Coral Cache before throwing out error codes, I think it would benefit a lot of admins staring down the business end of the /. effect.

OT: The site is a video project called Channel 102 based in New York City where people make 5 minute video "pilots" which are screened at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater for an audience who then votes on which ones they want to see return next month. Many of them have some serious geek appeal.

The voting shows, that it is an important issue and both sides try to play on safety. Both sides voted against the bill.

Yes ... which really means the European Commission (a bunch of unelected arrogant burocrats ignoring the European Parliament and the citizens) was badly wrong.

As Rocard (the rapporter MP on the issue) put it during the debate,

"Over every thing else here there is a collective and unanimous anger of all the parliament against the inadmissible manner in which it has been treated by the Commission and the Conseil. (ovation from the MPs)" (my transation, you can hear the French original from http://wiki.vrijschrift.org.nyud.net:8090/EP050706 ?1)

http://wiki.vrijschrift.org/EP050706 (CoralCache) has the videos and transcripts.

Not that I'm complaining about it, but last time this ran the pictures and video page withstood the Slashdotting. Probably because of the lack of a direct-link to it.

Anyway, the Coral-cached version of the page is currently working fine.

You should be grateful. At least you haven't got the Dahaka chasing after you! :-(

There's enough pictures on there that this could easily go down.

Here's a Coral Cache of it to help ease some of the disappearing server Slashdot magic.

Here is some general information about MoXi provided by Technology Research News.

The software models the gritty details of paper absorbing water and pigment moving through water, including the way pigment concentrates at ink boundaries as water evaporates from drying ink. The technique promises to make computer paint programs with more realistic and could also be used in computer animation packages, according to the researchers.

The simulation is based on mathematics -- the lattice Boltzmann equation -- that physicists use to model the complex behaviors of fluids. The model simulates more complex effects than previous work, and is also fast enough to deliver ink dispersion simulations in real-time on a reasonably large canvas, according to the researchers.

[Link to image in article]

Here are two links to larger versions of these images, the "Lotus leaves" (1.30 MB) and the "Planet" (1.47 MB).

The researchers behind the MoXi project are Chiew-Lan Tai, Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, and Nelson Siu-Hang Chu, her Research Assistant.

For more information about their projects, you can read these two pages about the Virtual Chinese Brush and about MoXi. On this page, you'll have access to several videos and images. The two pictures above come from this page.

The MoXi project will be presented at SIGGRAPH 2005 under the name "MoXi: Real-Time Ink Dispersion in Absorbent Paper." Here is a link to the paper submitted by the researchers (PDF format, 1 page, 145 KB). Here are an excerpt from the introduction.

Our paint system, MoXi, allows users to paint in the spontaneous style of Eastern ink painting, on a computer. The simulations of both brush and ink are essential for a successful extension of this traditional art into the digital domain. For real-time performance, we have implemented our ink flow model entirely on the GPU, leaving the CPU for the brush simulation.

According to the researchers, this technique "could be used practically in one or two years." But is this possible that this technology can be sold under the name MoXi? There already is a Digeo service named Moxi which offers High Definition TV (HDTV). And Digeo claims in its press releases (check this one for example) that Moxi is one of its registered trademarks.

The Planetary Society's Emily Lakdawalla put together a fairly nice animated GIF of the impact and posted it to the Society's official blog:

http://planetary.org.nyud.net:8090/deepimpact/imag es/encounter/animation-small.gif

Her description: OK, I've managed to get back on the raw image website, and I grabbed a whole bunch of the images that we were apparently looking at earlier. I just threw together this little animation, showing mostly Impact Targeting Sensor images, but moving at the end to some Medium Resolution Imager images. Now, I've probably dropped some frames, and these images are smaller than the ones the scientists get to use, but I have to say that this is pretty sweet as it is. I can't wait to see what the scientists produce!

http://www.kurzweilai.net.nyud.net:8090/meme/frame .html?main=/articles/art0588.html Use Coral, at least that'll speed things up a little I don't know if it'll work on the pdf, but at least the page loads.

Considering how cool the dark side is recently - I'd have thought someone would've built the death star too - with a Nuetrino torpedos here in neon ?.

Errr, it's not "we's done killed us sum bigass catfish" hee-haw fest going on here. Some Thai fishermen caught an amazing fish, and one biology fan on Slashdot decided to share this amazing find with the rest of us. Seriously, this is science, and I certainly find it something that matters.

From the link:

What AGEIA and even game developers envision a PPU will enable for a gamer is a world with physics unlike anything we have seen in a real time game before. We are talking about thousands of rigid bodies, real flowing water, hair simulation, avalanches of rock, clothing simulations and more. Even more impressive is the idea of a universal collision detection system that allows you to interact with absolutely ANYTHING in a game world. All of it calculated in real time with nothing scripted in the game engine.

Sure you might have seen some explosions in a game you have played before, ones that might destroy an entire building. In nearly all cases, those have been scripted, meaning the debris and fire and dust were all created specifically for that explosion scene. Their motions and reactions were probably all scripted so that they went in a particular direction at a particular time and a particular speed. But what if you could have the option of changing that? What if you could have the explostion of a dam on a river be changed in real time depending on YOUR placement of the explosives? You might place them on the very center of the dam, creating a big hole that water rushes through, or instead you might only use a small amount of explosives to destory a small side portion and let water move out more slowly and let the water pressure be the force that eventually destroys the entire dam.

Damn. That would be a cool scene, and I didn't even see a demo of that -- just made it up!

You need to learn to use coral cache:

http://www.billablog.com.nyud.net:8090/archives/18

Tack on ".nyud.net:8090" to the end of any FQDN and get it from coral cache instead of direct from the host.

And yes, it is fugly and not even close to what I would expect or want from a USB mass storage painting. ;) It's not a bad painting. Not quite my style, but not bad. But tacking a Maxtor 80GB hard drive on the visible side of the painting is ugly.

You want to make something like that actually useful and something people are likely to buy? Design a picture frame that can have an array of these things on the hidden side. Make it smart, so you can just plug in extra hard drives to increase the storage. Maybe throw in a wireless ethernet connector instead of USB, and have an ethernet plug, too, and let it function as a network fileserver with an embedded kernel like QNX/Neutrino or some custom rolled Linux. That is something I would consider buying. Mix it with a nice picture or one of those klitchy inspirational posters that so many companies like, and you've got a product niche. When I've the money to burn, I might even consider designing and building something like that, but maybe somebody'll beat me to it. :)
