Data Mining Goes 3D
Roland Piquepaille writes "At Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), a data mining and visualization software suite developed in the last two years is now able to extract information from many sources of data and to return 3D images as results. In Sandia's intelligence lab converts business data into 3-D images, the New Mexico Business Weekly reports that Sandia's Information Visualization Lab is able to search structured documents, such as scientific journals, or unstructured ones, such as the Web or an intranet. Since the lab has been established five months ago, this software has already been used to determine the potential of several partnerships with SNL. Other firms, such as Lockheed Martin, also are starting to use the lab. Let's hope that SNL releases this software as open source. It should be fun to use it. For more details and pictures, please read this overview."

... but I doubt you can possibly hurt my karma any more than it already is (unless /. is working on a DDoS-on-sight karma level...). So here goes.
Has anyone ever noticed that once in a while, something like once every four or five times, slashdot pages (on FireFox anyway) load up totally blank. The tables are there, the little sidebars and icons are there, but no text, no article that you clicked on. Blank. Oh yes, and strangely enough, the advertisement banner at the top manages to survive this "bug" that is horridly fatal to the content you are actually trying to reach. Each and every time, actually. Oh well, I use AdBlock and never see your precious banner anyway, fuckers. *dons tinfoil hat*

Funny, you don't get an insightful or even an interesting?
Too many people are still asleep I guess.
