  1. Re:Other warm-blooded "cold-blooded" creatures on Warm-blooded Fish? · · Score: 1
    Give them a couple of centuries of much colder water, and I'm sure they'd end up heating their whole blood supply, too.

    More like millenia, and more than a couple. Evolution is a long slow process of mistakes that leads to greater survival. See the wikipedia article on evolution.

  2. USGS National Map on NASA Releases World Viewer · · Score: 2, Informative
    While it isn't quite as fancy as what NASA's World Wind seems to be, USGS (United States Geological Survey) has maps of the United States which allows various types of views, from topographic map to satellite photograph. It also loads the Terra Server images.

    Very useful for spying on old images of neighbors.

    It can be viewed at The National Map.

  3. Re:Why would they? on Suicide Caught on Surveillance Tape Appears Online · · Score: 1
    Their job is to capture criminals, not ensure their privacy.

    Actually, I believe their job is to capture suspects. Remember, in the U.S. no one is a criminal until proven such beyond a reasonable doubt.

    Caveat: I just served a jury summons, so I heard this about 15 times during the four hours I was present.

  4. Re: where to buy? on Tiny Boxen · · Score: 1
    Where do you buy things like this? I have also looked for the Via Epia motherboard (another very good small motherboard), and have not been able to find any place to purchase them.

    (Of course, I have limited my searching to sites such as Pricescan and PriceWatch.
