  1. Anthropogenic CO2 maps on NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory Set For Launch Tomorrow · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Meanwhile, you can browse interactive maps of US antropogenic fossil fuel CO2 emissions based on the data produced by Project Vulcan at Purdue. Google Earth browser plugin is needed, or you can load all data in a KML file in Google Earth directly. There is also a flythrough video explaining the different data views. Full disclosure - I'm the programmer who created the maps. Yes, the page is slow to load, but once a layer is accessed, it'll stay cached.

  2. One file per host on Knowledge Management for an IT Department? · · Score: 1

    I've been using for about a year a directory where I put a file named after each host I maintain. I and other admins add numbered entries about every non-trivial change we make, with timestamps. If there are machines with identical configuration, there is a file caled abcde.common that lists their common config. A wiki isn't a bad idea either, I guess.

  3. AJAX image editor? on Early AJAX Office Applications · · Score: 1

    I wonder if anyone has already built an AJAX image editor? It would work wonders for a photo organizing website, among other things.

  4. Mason does work under Apache 2 on Apache 1.3.x vs. 2.0.x: The Debate Returns · · Score: 3, Informative

    Check out the guide. I've been running it like this for over a year.

  5. Why is it a big deal? on SCO Protest And Anti-Protest In Provo · · Score: 1

    Okay, please somebody enlighten me. Assume the worst case: SCO wins hands-down. The Linux kernel community then calls for volunteers to rewrite the questionable parts, making sure the people who do it have never seen previously the code in question (they will just get the requirements). Linux becomes compliant again. Why wouldn't it work?
