While I certainly hope that the Russian government has finally come to its collective senses and will stop pouring money down the pit that Mir has become, I will believe they've given up the pride of their space program when I see pictures of the fireball hitting the ocean.

This reminds me of the input device used by the crew of the ship in Frank M. Robinson's The Dark Beyond the Stars. They place their hands on interactive pads that mould to their hands and then detect the slightest movements, allowing the users to interact with the system in complex ways. If I remember correctly, the crew would even stage competitions to see who could accomplish tasks the fastest.
Over at MacSlash, we have some intense coverage planned for MacWorld New York. Our team arrived on site today and will be providing our daily dose of mac news, straight from the Big Apple. We'll have at least four people sitting in on Steve's Keynote tomorrow morning, so if any announcements are made, including this (IMHO) ridiculous "cube" thing, we'll have complete reports online as soon as our people can get to their computers. Stop by and join in the discussion.
If the good old boys network that is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences refuses to accept new, innovative members into their ranks, then the new, innovative filmmakers need to band together and create their own system for recognizing excellence at their craft. This proposition becomes even more plausable as major names in filmmaking such as Tim Burton and David Lynch embrace internet and alternative media and distribution channels.
The Academy should be encouraging and awarding innovation, not discouraging and punishing it. Reminds me of a certain software company we all know and love.
I would like to know what academic and clinical research is being used by the Pinkerton Corp. in establishing their criteria for categorizing the students.
Specifically, can they name any published or corporate studies supporting their position that it is possible to effectively profile potentially dangerous students, particularly based on anonymous tips?
Additionally, who are the experts in the field with whom they have consulted?
I hope they can provide you with more information that simply citing several statistical techniques. Any college student with a computer and MiniTab can demonstrate that "evidence."
Actually, the acronym was reached by taking the letters I, B and M and moving to the previous letter in the alphabet. Thus, IBM = HAL. Clarke's tribute to big blue, I suppose.

Does anyone have any information on Nautilus' compliance with HTML 4, CSS-1 and -2, and other W3C recommendations?
