Here is the abstract from the work done in Leipzig. Also if you happen to have access to Wiley Online Library or Wiley InterScience you can read the full publication here, I don't so I am not sure if that gets you all the way there or not.

I wouldn't be all too sure of that ;)

"the alarmest models invariably can't get history right"

Really?

"First of all, the results demonstrate clearly that the relationship between climate and CO2 that had been deduced from the Vostok core appears remarkably robust. This is despite a significant change in the patterns of glacial-interglacial changes prior to 400,000 years ago. The 'EPICA challenge' was laid down a few months ago for people working on carbon cycle models to predict whether this would be the case, and mostly the predictions were right on the mark. (Who says climate predictions can't be verified?). It should also go almost without saying that lingering doubts about the reproducibility of the ice core gas records should now be completely dispelled. That a number of different labs, looking at ice from different locations, extracted with different methods all give very similar answers, is a powerful indication that what they are measuring is real. Where there are problems (for instance in N2O in very dusty ice), those problems are clearly found and that data discarded."

I am not sure about the specifics, but an example classifier for linux netfilter, for p2p traffic, can be found here

It's been quite a while since I made my site LinuxReviews IPv6 Ready. This has made me look at the IPv6-ready Web Server list from time to time and sadly there is very few sites out there that are IPv6 capable.

It is nice to know Tor supports standard protocols like http://. But do you really believe those "Tor Ready!" websites will start popping up any time soon? I don't think so. The majority of todays websites do not validate, doesn't support IPv6 and many don't even render correctly in the majority of web browsers. Will Tor-Ready be prioritized higher by the average webmaster than these and other more serious issues?

I am also very skeptical to the bandwidth requirements and the latency. My Ipv6 connection gives me full bandwidth, but I do notice that connections going through the tunnel are, in fact, much more latent than normal native Ipv4 connections. So why would I prefer to visit some website using Tor when the real difference is a longer loading period? Yes, what the author says about low latency may be true. It may have less latency than alternatives, but do not try to tell me I won't notice significantly higher latency if I try to IRC through a TOR connection.

People are talking about Ipv6 becoming standard in 5-6 years, I will be amazed if tor still exists at that point in time and even more amazed if it's actually implemented on more than 0.0001% of the Internet's services.

The Zaurus is a tiny linux box. A powerful, tiny linux box. The first thing you should do when you get a Z is wipe the OS and instead install the excellent OpenZaurus (OZ). OZ is better than the original Linux install in nearly every respect. Don't think of your Z as a PDA, it's more like a tiny laptop. Some of the things I do with mine:

email: I recently compiled Mutt with a IMAP header cache patch. One of the most powerful email clients in the palm of my hand :-)

wireless sniffing: As you know, Kismet rules the land of wireless sniffers. Pop a wireless card in your Z (or get a 6000 :-) and your neighbours will never be safe again :-)

mp3/ogg playing: Using either Opie-Player2 or the excellent tkcplayer. Unfortunatly, I can't use the tkcplayer on the very latest version of OpenZaurus, not because it won't run (because it DOES almost start up when using "runcompat" but then tells me it can't run on this platform-- which it CAN otherwise it wouldn't be able to tell me that :-) TKC are you listening? Remove the check please :-)

Video playing: using a port of the best linux movie player mplayer. I've encoded a bunch of movies down to ~200MB with great results. You can pop a couple of these on a 512MB card for those long flights :-)

Coding: Of course, I've got gcc and perl loaded on the puppy. Hell, without perl I wouldn't be able to run Chaosreader, makes those long hotel stays much more interesting :-)

Exploit testing :-) Since perl and gcc work fine, I really haven't run into any common exploits I can't compile or run properly.

A couple of hints and tricks:

1) If you want to extend your battery life while doing things like mp3 playing or wardriving, grab something like Qoverclock and use it to UNDERCLOCK your Z. Turn down (or off) the display as well. Poke at it a bit and realize you can easily make a shell script to do without the GUI.

2) To maximize your space on root, ram, sd and cf, the single best thing to use is UCLX which works just like UPX. UCLX/UPX are executeable file compressors-- you compress your executable and when you run it it decompresses (to ram) on the fly. The compression it uses is AT LEAST as good as gzip (or better) and the decompression is very fast. When using slower media like SD (or even CF) you'll find that executables will run FASTER compressed then they would uncompressed-- the CPU can decompress much smaller exe faster than the much larger uncompressed exe could be loaded from media and run.

3) When choosing a root/ram disk size for OpenZaurus, it's a good idea to pick a small root with a much larger ram disk. If (when) you need more ram, you can simply make some ramdisk swap files.

4) While you can run gcc right on the Z, it's also nice to us a cross compiler on your (much faster) desktop and then just cp the binary over. If you're too lazy to do cross compiles (or don't want to set up a ton of additional packages like ncurses, etc), you can also just ssh into the IPAQ development cluster and compile your code there. Typically it will run without issue-- sometimes you may want/need to statically link your programs or just grab the libraries from the ipaq and throw 'em on your Z. I haven't found a single thing yet I couldn't get to run.

5) Assuming you grab the required libraries, you can run basically all of the sw in th

Though not Tidal Energy. There is a (1990 - used to be ?) a working 1.1MW/150kW oscillating water column power plant using Wave Energy near my home town in India. There seems to be some details here. It was a research project done by IIT, Madras. A lot of details, pictures etc. can be found here.

Maybe you should do a little research before spouting off about how there are no useful distributed computing projects out there.

Because, gee, the need to communicate with someone in another language is new. I've never seen VCR instructions in multiple languages, I've never seen a bilingual dictionary, and the EU driver licenses only have one language on them, not every language of the EU.

Multilingual documents, for all purposes, don't exist beyind demos.

So Reta Vortaro, an Esperanto dictionary with translations to many languages, is a demo. (Click on the j^ in the left frame, and then on the j^audo in the same frame, for the translation of that word into English, German, Polish and Russian, among others.) Or Freedict, a source of bilingual dictionaries for dict (including German and Greek, and German and Japanese) is just a demo too. And the Debian main page, where it lists the names of the languages in which the page has been translated to in their own script at the bottom, is just a demo too.

Just in case you care:

There are two songs "poisening the pigeons in the park", one by Austrian comedian Georg Kreisler (in German language) and one by Tom Lehrer (in English language). Compare them here:

Similarities of Tom Lehrer and Georg Kreisler

There were both written around the same time in the 50s and the two songs are almost identicial.

Kreisler was a famous comedian in German speaking countries during the late 50s and through the 60s. He lived in the US before that as a Jewish emigrant, fleeing the Nazis. There, he performed English songs similar to Lehrer's and it is quite possible that one somehow heard the other's work.

It is unclear wether Tom stole from Georg or the other way round. Both wrote brilliant lyrics and anyone who understands German should listen Kreisler's music. It's a challenge.
