  1. I didn't even know about this place... on Sweet, Sweet Mathworld Is Gone · · Score: 1

    I would have really liked to have a site like this. I hope it comes back. Until then, are there any sites like this out there? I often find myself in need of a mathematical reference like this one seems to be.

    On that note, maybe there should be repository for things like this. I know there is Yahoo! and the Opentext directory, but perhaps there should be a (relatively) small directory of sites like this. a "best of web" directory. just a thought...no real ideas here yet. think about it.

  3. Re:a little blurb I found on Electron Fission · · Score: 1

    i am not so sure how reliable this press release is, considering that they refer to neutrons and protons as elementary particles, which they most certainly are not. plus, splitting a wave function just splits the probability that you will find the electron in a certain place. it would make it (for example) half as likely to be in one bubble as the other. although the electron may be fissionable, this is probably not the experiment that will prove it.

  4. this is such big news... on Apple Licences Amazon's 1-click Shopping · · Score: 1

    i'm surprised jobs didn't wait for a keynote to announce this one

  5. looks interesting on More On The Compaq iPAQ Linux Handheld · · Score: 1

    i can't wait to set up a beowulf cluster of these...

    kidding. relax.

    but in all seriousness, this looks very cool. i wonder how long it will take for vendors to offer linux as an option on their handhelds. with all the industry hype of linux, it may not be as long as you think.
