  1. P2P Telephony on Communications Infrastructure No Match for Katrina · · Score: 1

    How about p2p telephony like I believe the US army uses in Iraq? The more callers, the better...

    Also on: http://google.blogspace.com/ But the link doesn't work anymore... just goes to the google homepage. Guess that was a very short test period??? The exact text that was shown: As you build up your search history, your personalized search results will continue to improve over time.

    It just turned up when I was using google this morning... although I don't see any sign of it now anymore... There was a notice that my personal search history would be used to improve search results. Also the help page said that the links I would click on where used to further improve the results... see also: http://google-blog.dirson.com/post.new/0266/

  7. Better options on The Diagnostic 'Bugbot' · · Score: 1

    A virtual colonoscopy is probably a much better option. You still need to take the laxatives, but there is no real colonoscopy. Instead a 3d image is generated from a CT scan. The doctor can then do a virtual colonoscopy on his pc. Advantages: Takes less time Not an invasive procedure No sedation needed Disadvantages: Not possible to take biopsies during the procedure, so in some cases a real colonoscopy will be needed afterwarts.
