  2. Climate Model On Your Home PC on Ice-Free Summers Coming To Arctic · · Score: 1



    Obligatory link to EdGCM, the climate model that you can run on your own Windows or Mac computer:

  3. Re:What? on USB-Powered Linux Server Fits in Your Pocket · · Score: 1

    I have 1/2 of that:

    "This site server is running on a headless laptop (seen below) sitting in my desk drawer. The computer has 32 MB of ram and runs at 200 MHz."

  4. Re:The Real Jeff Bezos? on Amazon Seeks Web Services Patent · · Score: 1

    Yes I know how hard it is. It took me about 6 to 8 months, 10 emails, and 3 phone calls to get removed and stop receiving emails. This was in around 98 and I haven't dealt with them since.

    But give him the benifit of the doubt? He does want to turn space into a commercial arena (Blue Origin). He gets points for that.

  5. BullFighter removes the bull for you on Attack of the Corporate Weasel Words · · Score: 2, Interesting



    A website and plug-in for Word and PowerPoint that measures the overall readability of your documents. It highlights overused consulting jargon, offering witty comments along the way.

    Also, for sharing images:

  6. How to Share Graphics Once You Make Them on Graphics in Science · · Score: 1


    The best tool for sharing the graphics after they are produced is http://depicto.com/

    Depicto is great. It lets you and other remote users interactively comment/edit/modify graphics. One of the best remote-office tools I've seen in a while.

    Disclaimer: I don't have any stake in Depicto but I am friends with the developer.

  7. Depicto already does this on First Shareable Interactive Display · · Score: 1

    OK, I didn't RTA, but Depicto at http://depicto.com/ lets you share things among any number of people at any number of networked computers. And any of them can modify/comment on the image/text in realtime while all others watch. Pretty cool! I use it to work with my remote office all the time.

  8. Re:Awwww right... but wait on Class Action Suit Forces Palm to Replace Dead PDAs · · Score: 1

    I've been dealing with the screen whine on a Zire. I found 5 minutes filling out a form on the BBB website got me a replacement really quick. Just wait, I'm sure in a couple years there will be a lawsuit about the screen whine... Until then, buy earplugs?

  9. Re:Apples to Oranges (this is not redundant... yet on G5 vs. x86 and Mac OS X vs. Linux · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Want funding? on Unmanned Aircraft Clustered via Bluetooth · · Score: 1

    Most of this company is funded on DoD and military budgets like you mention. They have ad-hoc flocking guided parachute systems. Pretty cool stuff, especially when the flock splits at the end and they go into holding/landing patterns:

  11. Someone once said... on Pac-Man Turns 25 · · Score: 1


    "If Pacman had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music."

    Mmmm... pills.

    true dat.

    But don't tell my boss. I showed him that, and he liked it so much he's buying me an iPodPhoto just so we can add that export functionality to the app I'm building :)

  15. MarsClock for Palm on NASA Scientists Get Custom 24h39m-per-day Watches · · Score: 2, Informative

    One wonders why these literal rocket scientists didn't just get a software programmable Linux or PalmOS based wrist-computer and hack together a Mars-time display application into it?"

    I did: MarsClock
