Interesting, which device are you using to use the FireWire interface? I would love a programmable arduino like device with faster io for low latency signal acquisition.
Actually, dredge spoil contains fine particles that form a suspension in the water column. They can move a great distance. The main issue here however is the impact of facilitating the burning of more coal. Ocean acidification (from carbon dioxide dissolved/converted to carbonic acid) is a major threat to the reef as coral cannot lay down limestone in acidic waters. The coral has also experienced massive dieback since the 1960s due to rising water temperature, high nutrient sediment from local cane fields and the impact of crown of thorns star fish. Many marine biologists argue that it is already beyond tipping point. Our blind, stupid, climate denying government doesn't seem to believe in the ample evidence. Short sighted politics and crony capitalism is destroying the very resources that our future prosperity is based upon, not very rational economics.
just in case you were wondering, this is not a real device.
Interesting concept but this would need to be considerably more bulky to drive enough water through the filters.
About 200litres of water needs to be flowed through the device per minute.
For a working prototype for comparison see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D23HLDZvX2w which works with a compressor.
The poster should make it clear that the device mentioned is not an actual device, nor likely to be feasible without
a relatively large pump and power supply.
Indeed, having debated the truth of scripture at length with Christians, I found the "agree until they see the flaws themselves" approach very effective. Releasing people from the chains of these repressive idiologies is possible and worthwhile but don't expect success to begin with!
Not really convinced by the religion doing more good argument either. Lot of wars and division based on religion. And even more hiding their heads in the sand and allowing corrupt leaders to subvert them.
You ate creating straw men on both sides, resulting in a false dichotomy. An idea of God may be compatible with evolution, it's just that a church preaching incompatibility has painted themselves into a corner. Many scientists believe in a mysterious, unexplained order to the universe, some even call it God. But denying the evidence that is right in front of you is narrow minded to say the least. Don't get dragged into us vs them arguments, the truth will set you free.
A good summary of the strengths, thanks for laying out these issues for other readers. I really liked these aspects too.
Although I think marketing was not why it got axed. I don't think a federated service fitted with google's philosophy on data, i.e. they want it all going through their serrvers.
Sorry, didn't mean to announce a premature demise, I must admit that I was hoping that wave in a box would be a little more mature by now. (although I have no right to complain, not having contributed any code myself!). As a side note, I guess this is the best spot to try out the code: https://github.com/apache/wave
I never bought the "lack of uptake" angle that google pushed when they axed it. I think that a federated network is the opposite of what google wants. They want all the juicy bits passing through their servers and the federated model of wave was not good for this.
I guess I at least need to thank them for opensourcing etherpad after they acquired that code.
The major features I am interested in are: real-time collaborative editing, discussion workflow and easy documentation/media integration. As the group's discussions are private, it needs to be self hosted. I prefer open source. Wave ticks the boxes. The closest I have found (and tried installing) is a version of etherpad. I was excited by Rizzoma as it looked like a more general purpose solution but doesn't look very open, unfortunately. I am more of a sysadmin than a developer and will certainly poke my head in to development of projects but I usually need something that has at least the minimal functionality out of the box for my users.
That's exactly right, I like Wave because it makes the discussion to documentation progression relatively seamless. Other alternatives tent to fall down on either privacy or not being free software.
That's (mostly) true, but a lot of people tend to use MATLAB for data collection, manipulation and analysis.
R is a much more powerful tool (and easier to use in my opinion) than MATLAB for this purpose, so it probably deserves a mention.
The plotting with ggplot is also just gorgeous!
For neuroimaging, I am happily moving away from MATLAB to a combination of R, Arduino code and Python,
although the psychtoolbox still has a warm spot in my heart!
Google didn't pull the plug on Wave because it didn't work, it just didn't fit into their business model. The wave protocol is federated, while all other Google services are centralized, Google relies upon all traffic coming through them for skimming revenue from their users. This is why they killed wave and even when it was style in hype mode refused to release a user installable client (free or otherwise).
However, the ideas behind wave, most importantly that it allows rich real-time communication with automatic archiving of history make it a powerful evolution of email/instant messaging. Rot in your capitalist filth Google, long live Wave!

Facebook is the NSA, different name, same modus operando, no firewall between the two.

Thanks, looks easy to install, will have to give it a whirl.
Tomato is awesome. Open-WRT is also excellent. Check compatability on their sites before buying any router.

I'm certainly not religious but I do find it interesting that Genesis is actually a pretty good description of creation I you take the days as epochs.

Just to clarify, Kune is very open with their code, it's Rizzoma who do not publish theirs, my article was a little unclear on this.
a good suggestion, and I certainly wish the developers success with the continued project
Yeah, it's not great they they are claiming open source and not providing code, let alone an installable version.
So is Rizzoma just a spinoff of Kune?
That's true, my users are relatively computer illiterate. They don't want to learn syntax as much as I do.

Basically, Google can't be trusted with my users' data.
Thanks for the suggestions, ShareJS looks really easy to integrate into a site that meets some of my needs.

I am literally speechless.
