Along with R, consider using Rattle (the R Analytic Tool To Learn Easily)

label ends, keep loose, use C-clamps

On: Ask Slashdot: Clever Cable Management?

A few precepts for dressing patch cords from jack panels to connection equipment: 1. Tag cable ends for a hint to find matching ends, but don't trust them. Confirm by tugging from one end to the other. 2. Do not use text labels such as HostX-eth0: these will inevitably get re-used for HostY. 3. Always tag power cords. 4. Do not tie or bind cables tightly along their length. Doing so makes tracing cables impossible. 5. Avoid cable trays, wire mold, etc. Aluminum angle and C-clamps do it better and cheaper. 6. A bit too long is better than just enough. Avoid making a waterfall of short patch cords. 6. Coil with the sun.

Could spontaneous decomposition of methane hydrates trigger a tsunami producing seabed avalanche?

Positive feedback: landslide -> heat + hole in sea->reduced pressure -> more decomposition
