Steve Ballmer, under their "no giant computer company left behind" policy announced MicroSoft's new 'me-too' power generation program using coal. Steve said "we felt this initiative reflects MicroSoft's state of innovation and reliability".
If you drive past the Port of Long Beach CA you see thousands upon thousands of shipping containers. Its like the warehouse scene at the end of Indiana Jones.
I heard that videos of soldiers being killed are being copied from anti-US propaganda sites to general US video sites (although I have not tried to verify this). Should somthing like this "be allowed" or censored. This isnt a clearly defined legal boundary like underage sex videos. I dont have a firm opinion on this yet.
I am more impressed with one of the co-founders of YouTube still going to school and becomeing fabulously rich. HP, Yahoo, CISCO, NetScape, Google, YouTube... those Stanford startups just keep on pumping money.
Google runs a data server farm in nearly 30 locations (some not on line yet) with 700,000 servers? If thats not the largest data center in history, then I dont know what is. Plus MicroSoft, Yahoo and others are building these too.
I've seen experimental color monitors at SIGGRAPH have more than three color channels. Some systems add true white or black. Others add three inbetween hues. To best exploit extra colors you have add them to the camera too. These monitors do like look closer to a high quality print than regular RGB monitors. The fill more of the CIE color-volume than conventional monitors. I am not sure if the extra channels are worth the extra expense. Perhaps these could be stunning in theater environment.
Perhaps the SEC will pursue a high profile company president like Jobs. Apple has been dancing around this problem recently, including a firing. Then again as Spitzer has found, the SEC passed on punishing most corporate crime.
Its difficult to distinquish a large explosion from a small bomb
seismically. Though I guess it is really a bomb, I havent seen the full analysis it. It was thought by some seismologists that Pakstan and Indian "spiked" their 1998 nuclear tests to make them appear bigger than they were. Certainly the seismic data did not support their size.
The new orbiter has a high bandwidth connection to Earth, so it can essentially photograph full time. The previous Global Surveyor orbiter lacked this capacity, so it could only be turned on a fraction of the time.
The Beagle was spotted by the previous Surveyor orbiter. However, it is only a couple pixel splotch and not certain. I hope they re-shoot this with the new orbiter.
Here you can see detail on the Rover such a camera pole and its shadow. We are talking about a five foot item.
I've seen people on the ground in Google Earth photos when the contrast is good. So this is about the same resolution.
Star Trek occurred when she was in control of DesiLu.
Very smart business women. She wasnt a rabid fan, but did approve a second pilot when the first stalled.
You see DesiLu credits on the refurbished STTOS now back TV.
)I think they use the same goofy studio band on the sound track as I Love Lucy.)
Its remarkable our nervous system shares several properties with bird, since the split was 200 million years ago. By evolutionary standars humans are practically cousins with mice, perhaps splitting only 60 million years ago.
Despite this, theres evidence some birds can processes some symbols, and perform simple counting. They dont seem to have the emotional range of mammals.
After the 1989 release of the third Indiana Jones movie, there was a ten year hiatus in feature films until SWTPM in 1999.
(Except for some Indiana Junior TV things)
I was under the impression the tremendous advance in CGI, particularly Jurassic Park, stimulated him to do the second trilogy.
I suspect if a new and improved way of telling stories comes along we'll hear from George again.
Years ago I heard the famous hacker Mitnick talk about similar investigative activity using the term "social engineering". IS this the same as pretesting? Social engineering exploits the weakest link in a security system are the people running it, not the technology.
The problem with all these new super technologies is they rarely catch up in cost-performance to silicon. I usually hear of an idea liek this every month, but maybe one or two such technologies become commercial per decade.
"Patterns" is a taxonomy of class types which frequently recur in object-oriented programming such a C#, Java, and C++. Classes which capture data state are pretty straight forward to work out. But its less clear how to organize classes which are more functional or control in nature and components of large software systems. Thats where the identification and study of class patterns is useful. There have been a dozen books on the subject.
Earth's surface receives a few watts per square meter
from radioactive element decay. This is overwhelmed 30 times by solar energy. Uranus could have some radiative decay, but more like ly heat of gravition attraction.
We get a SAT-like test nearly every other year from age 10 to 17.
So in my opinion the SAT is just another one, except it really counts.
Testing has grown even more this decade with federally mandated ones.
I'm not sure what the testing level is in the UK.
But I recommend takeing the SAT twice. The first is for practice and maybe you can take it a year early. I think I read somewhere that people taking it twice have 8% higher score on one of the two than whose who take it once.

(Need to revive old thread :-)
Google certainly has enough cash.
The optical fiber cos bought the phone cos.
The dot.coms bought the networks.
Rockefeller bought his competitors.
Lance has similar goofy facial expressions as Spock, including the strange eyebrows.

Raw UV radiation causes methane to convert to more stable water and carbon dioxide.
Why should IT and manufacturing be the only ones benefiting from offshoring? Let crime do so also!

I double checked this too. MIT has nine Smoots in the alumni directory, several attending about the same time as the Nobel winner.
