Some interesting things I may have stumbled upon…
“Technology has been making leaps and bounds as of late. You can answer your palm pilot/phone/mp3 player while drinking coffee from your mug/laptop. Innovative? Absolutely. Cool as hell? Certainly. Totally useless? Without a doubt.”
“A bell jar was placed on top of a mini hive and bees from the nucleus started to create foundation of a hive in the jar. Once the foundation is laid, the bees work in masses to form the rest of the hive. 14 more pics of bees making hive in a jar after the jump.”
“A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time. Those lulls in the conversation over dinner? That’s the nerd working on his project in his head.”
“Swiss researchers have developed java software that has bluetooth-capable camera phones form a distributed camera network. Each phone shares information on visual events with its neighbours and can work out the spatial position of phones around it (pdf). The software will become open source sometime next year, and the creators say it could be used to make a quick and dirty surveillance system. ‘The phones currently use the average speed people walk to guess the distances between themselves, based on how long people take to move from one phone’s view to another’s. In testing, the system determined the distances between each phone with about 95% accuracy. They were placed 4 metres apart, making it accurate to about 20 centimetres. In future, recording the speed at which objects pass by would make more accurate judgments possible.”
” First time in the world a blu-ray laser from a Playstation 3 has been installed in a Star Trek Phaser! Build one yourself for around $100. I “Boldy go where no man has gone before”! Watch the video and then follow the Steps to build your own! ”

“Like you, the US Military wanted portable but secure storage, and the guys at IronKey stepped up. They’ve developed the perfect solution that’s one-part thumb-drive, and two parts Mission: Impossible. ”
for those who did not know of this hidden feature, docs say ctrl-alt-A (capital A) but if that does not work, try alt-WindowsKey-A, once activated, it then shows up in the google-earth menu for future use.
Barf bags anyone?
There was this couple that had been married for 20 years.
Every time they made love the husband always insisted on shutting off
the light. Well, after 20 years the wife felt this was ridiculous.
She figures she would break him of this crazy habit. So one night,
while
they were in the middle of a wild, screaming, romantic session, she
turned on the lights.
She looked down and saw her husband was holding a battery-operated
leisure device… A vibrator! Soft, wonderful and larger than a real
one.
She went completely ballistic.
“You impotent bastard,”
She screamed at him, “How could you be lying to me all of these years?
You better explain yourself!”
The husband looks her straight in the eyes and says calmly:
“I’ll explain the toy . .
You explain the kids.”
SLOCCount is a set of tools for counting physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) in a large number of languages of a potentially large set of programs.
SLOCCount will even automatically estimate the effort, time, and money it would take to develop the software (if it was developed as traditional proprietary software).
A great collection of fun linux commands!
“August 7, 2007 — Today, Sun introduces the UltraSPARC T2 processor, the fastest, most energy efficient microprocessor on the market.[1] By scaling performance through threading and integrating networking, security and I/O onto the processor itself, the UltraSPARC T2 processor delivers more throughput, performance, and functionality per watt than any processor in its class.”
“What can you do with a million images? In this paper we present a new image completion algorithm powered by a huge database of photographs gathered from the Web. The algorithm patches up holes in images by finding similar image regions in the database that are not only seamless but also semantically valid.”

“Of course, any URL can be an exploit URL. The correct solution would be to fix the bugs that evil URLs would exploit.”
“To allow full access to the original flight films for both researchers and the general public, Johnson Space Center and Arizona State University’s Space Exploration Resources are scanning and creating an online digital archive of all the original Apollo flight films. “
Most interesting. indead!
“Women are like apples on trees: the best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground, which aren’t as good, but easy… so the apples atthe top think something is wrong with them when, in reality, they’re amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along - theone who’s brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Share this with other women who are goodapples - even those who have already been picked! And remember … Men are like a fine wine.They start out as grapes, and it’s up to women to stomp the crap out ofthem until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.”

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will
be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was
the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in
plan that would become known as ‘Euro-English’.
In the first year, ’s’ will replace the soft ‘c’. Sertainly, this will make
the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard ‘c’ will be dropped in favour of
‘k’. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome ‘ph’ will be replaced with ‘f’. This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to
reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always
ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent ‘e’ in the languag is
disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing ‘th’ with ‘z’ and ‘w’ with ‘v’.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary ‘o’ kan be dropd from vords kontaining ‘ou’
and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze
forst plas.

WARNING
Due to the rising frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch is advising hikers, hunters, fichermen, and any persons that use the out-of-doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field.
We advise the outdoorsmen to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any bears that might be close by so you don’t take them by surprise.
We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry “Pepper Spray” with him or her in case of an encounter with a bear.
Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear shit and grizzly bear shit. Black bear shit is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur, Grizzly bear shit has bells in it, and smells like pepper.
