  1. Re:High levels of radiation on IBM Creates MRI With 100M Times the Resolution · · Score: 1

    So it's an undocumented DOCUMENTED FACT?

  2. I have a lots of projects that just collect dust. on NASA Builds a Cheap Standardized Space Probe · · Score: 2, Funny

    How about, lets say, $20M?

  3. Can't wait to play it online. on Will Wright's Spore To Release Sept. 7th · · Score: 1

    Oh wait, I won't buy an EA game until they fix their servers. I just got finished with a round of disconnects with Battlefield II. What fun!

  4. Re:How quickly they turn on you .. on PostgreSQL 8.3 Released · · Score: 1

    I upgraded last night to 8.3 from 8.2 in Debian. It was really very easy. I simply ran pg_upgradecluster and it migrated all my settings, tables and data. It even switched the old database to an unused port and brought up 8.3 on the correct port. Now I gotta try out all the new stuff...

  5. My cat could have died... on Unusual Data Disaster Horror Stories · · Score: 1

    He had a habit of spraying around the house. He finally found my CRT monitor (back in the day) and pissed all over the side. The repair guy said he's lucky it was turned off since cat pee is conductive at those voltages. I guess that was one life of his, 8 left.

  6. Algebra for The Practical Man on Best Way To Teach Oneself Math? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    These are the books that Richard P Feynman used to teach himself math.

    Algebra for The Practical Man.
    Geometry for The Practical Man.
    Trigonometry for The Practical Man.
    and Calculus for The Practical Man.

    They're old self study guides and they're the best I've seen. I've seed the Idiots and Dummys guides, they're horrible. The Practical Man series really explain how it all works, not just memorizing formulas. I found them on Amazon.

  7. Use them all on Choice Overload In Parallel Programming · · Score: 1

    in parallel of course.

  8. Re:Why did the foam become an issue only this deca on Shuttle Atlantis Launched Without Incident · · Score: 1

    The foam problem started when the EPA banned freon. NASA used freon based foam as insulation prior to 1997. Freon based foam doesn't cause as much damage to tiles as non-freon based. Search Google for shuttle freon foam for plenty of references.
