WIFIRE is an integrated system for wildfire analysis, with specific regard to changing urban dynamics and climate. The system integrates networked observations such as heterogeneous satellite data and real-time remote sensor data, with computational techniques in signal processing, visualization, modeling, and data assimilation to provide a scalable method to monitor such phenomena as weather patterns that can help predict a wildfire's rate of spread.
I find it ironic that I can not view the images of the Linux kernal booting on an iPhone on my iPhone, since those images were posted using Flash. Sigh....
Surgery. When I abandoned my career as an English professor and began hacking code for a living, no one told me that you could rupture a disk in your back merely by hunching over a keyboard for hours at a time. I learned this the hard way. When I was teaching, I did not sit in one position for extended periods of time. Six months after I starting coding for a living, I blew out a disc in my L4-L5 region of the lower back. This was entirely due to my bad posture, the bad chair without back support and the bad elevation of my keyboard. All these factors made me hunch all day. This was enough to rupture a disk. I was in agony. I had pains down my leg and often I could not move my toes. There was no alternative to surgery. Since then (Jan 1982) I have learned to ALWAYS demand a good chair with full back support. I use an adjustable foot stool to lift my feet and prevent stress on the lower back. I also lost weight by exercise and diet. Removing the "beer belly" relieved stress on the lower back. I have been very lucky and relatively free of pain since then (except for the time I picked up a 21 inch monitor and put it in my trunk. DON'T DO THAT EVER!!!)

I have to boot Windows to run this? This means operating systems are irrelevant? Does anyone care what words mean?
