A bit off-topic for Star Trek, but here is a politically incorrect (especially for PETA fans) inspirational poster for rats - "Teamwork - Share Victory. Share Defeat"
Submitter did a nice summary. BTW, another table shows memory usage, and looks
like Firefox Beta 2 comes in a bit heavier (compared to 1.5.04) at least
for startup and an initial load of six tabs - unknown if the memory leaks
that cause this to skyrocket when viewing dynamic sites
(such as this) are fixed.
Also talks about the anti-phishing protection, but says they were
unable to have this engage, so maybe it's not functional yet?
That seems to be an area where more inovation could be done.
Oooops... yea, it's gonna be really hard to see this in the Western US - bad assumption on my part it was a similiar re-entry track - thanks for the correction.
Detailed landing timeline and get your camera out

SpaceFlightNow has a detailed timeline of the re-entry - not sure if it will still be dark enough to capture a glow across the Western US with the 9:14AM EDT first landing time... but my guess is a LOT more camera's will be watching it come back into the atmosphere.
Since Google simply returns what it consider is the most relevant result (but does zippo fact checking), I use both when I'm interested in something. The classic example is "miserable failure" where Google's #1 results is George Bush's WhiteHouse page... what many people don't know is the #2 result is Michael Moore's Home page... I'll let you decide which is the more "accurate" miserable failure... but at least in this example, Wiki has a great explanation
The various wiki's will probably just get hammered by zealots on the left and the right - I'd say cast a vote over at ugly Democrats and/or ugly Republicans for your unfavorite candidate.
SpaceFlightNow (as usual) has great coverage

I have a bit of experience with the D-Link DCS6620G's. 10X optical PTZ with decent image quality... and 802.11 wireless makes 'em a breeze. But ditto submittters request that it would be nice to get *real* access to the embedded Linux/Web Server that runs these puppies so we can fiddle some more with 'em. My understanding is the AXIS webcams do allow that... but they are pretty pricey.
Also, the D-Link's (as do many webcams) have a built-in web server... but also allow FTP'ing of jpeg snapshots. For any type of scalability, you need to rebroadcast (i.e. single stream from the webcam to your web server, and then to the public from there). This is fairly easy with jpegs... but streaming video would be soooo much sweeter than image refreshes every couple of seconds... and good how-to's to do this?
Submitter's (?) blog references this, but here is Weird's Al's website where he actually talks about it... his response on this topic is the 4th bold one down.
Ditto parent's comments. Analog is an oldie, but goldie - provides all the basic functionality you need and does it via log file analysis... so no tweeks required on your HTML, nor dependant on Javascript enabled in the browser. Not all the bells and whistles of the newer stuff, but a great way to start.
Size matters when it comes to sensors... so by cramming 8 megapixels into a tiny sensor, it will be pretty darn noisy for image quality - don't even try bumping the ISO!
A several year old 4MP DLSR (even using older technology) will yield better images... but yea, won't be as portable. Just be aware of the tradeoff and arguably sensor size is more important than megapixels.

My guess is we'll see her step down before Halloween ... and good chance in the next week or two.
"Dammit, I was expecting that to be a link to be a single-page printable version of Google :("
/dev/random | lpr
To obtain that, run the following command - $cat
And make sure it ALL prints out.
I'll follow that helpful (!) post up with a link to the printable version with all 5 pages on one.
For those don't know the URL, you can find google here.

Nothing for you to see here. Please move along
That's exactly what Diebold wants you to think...

So which party/candidate would take advantage of this exploit first - the Democrats or the Republicans - both are ugly!
Who's there?
Original discussion for background on this followup.
Interesting writeup from an XGoogler about how that turned out ..
Entire report on one page.

A law of nature seems to be that when you mow your lawn, the grass just grows back faster - I guess we'll find out here! ;-)

STS-121 Mission Status Center - 'nuff said.
This was right up there with watching grass grow ...

Slashdot will adopt in 5 years ... ;-)
Wonder if they'll adopt Microsoft's "I'll help you with this annoying popup" model of providing online assistance.

Google Blogoscoped had excellent coverage of the Press Day ... and today posted a very informative step-by-step of how to use Google Co-op.
