  1. Adaptive Optics for the Amateur on Optical Telescope Arrays by Amateur Astronomers? · · Score: 1

    SBIG has an adaptive optics device for amateurs called the AO-7. It doesn't correct for everything that professional systems do, but it does improve the image considerably.

  2. Counter Sue on SCO Fails to Produce Evidence · · Score: 1

    Can't IBM counter sue SCO for wasting there time and effort? And if they do recoup there legal fees, wouldn't that wipe out SCO's cash reserves? Leaving the rest of us free from there attempts to extort licensing fees from Lixux users.

  3. Powermarks on Most Usable Bookmark Managers? · · Score: 1

    I was trying to figure out a way to get a handle on my bookmarks about three months ago. I wound up trying a bunch of different programs, including some shareware demos. I wound up getting Powermarks. It will read in the bookmarks from all the browsers on your computer, and you can export all of the bookmarks to html. The feature that got me hooked is that you don't have to sort your bookmarks in to categories. When you create a bookmark, the name, keywords and description fields are retrieved from the web page. To find a book mark you do a search based on the info in those fields. It works amazingly well. The other nice feature is that you can sort the bookmarks based on the number of times that you have visited that web site. So your favorite bookmarks automatically rise to the top. There is a fully functional demo, with a nag screen. To get rid of the nag screen is $25, but it is worth it. Also it is only for windows.

  4. TK Solver on Spreadsheets for Scientific Computing? · · Score: 1

    Try TK Solver. It is designed for solving simultaneous equations. I used it in college to solve some nasty problems dealing with internal combustion engine cycles. Back then it was on UNIX, but it looks like it is only Windows now.
