I bet there are about 1000 ways to accidentally kill yourself or others in this book from 1910: The Scientific American cyclopedia of formulas.
It includes chapters on fireproofing, bleaching, metallurgy, brazing metals, insecticides(!) and opens (appropriately) with an excellent chapter on first aid in the 1910′s.
A heads up- openlibrary.org has an amazing aggregation of free books and a promising looking API, which you can find more info about in the developer center. It looks like there is some amazing work happening in their github account.
I feel bad for him. His friends died and he has to use sign language. He’s in love with Troi – he seems odd but he turns out to be a good guy. He thinks he’s so great and that’s why his friends die, because he thinks he can talk his way out of everything.
He’s totally Han Solo – they even call him a rogue. They think he. . . did stuff. He gets the two young people to marry, because the girl was mad at other boy so she lied about how the father of her baby was and wouldn’t marry him. It was a good ending, they got married.
Maybe some day they’ll actually do the Sherlock Holmes program again on the holodeck. I was weird that Data figured out all the mysteries immediately. I feel bad for Geordi – he said he totally messed it up and made everything wrong.
The blue-faced monkey was really annoying – he killed someone. He was going to kill half the crew just to see how many ways there was to die. He was like the being from The Child – he was curious but instead he was mean about it.
Riker has a beard! Why does he have a beard this time? The little boy is cute. He grows really fast and he’s 10, then he dies. He’s a little glowy-thing. He wants to know what happens, he’s not being mean.
So I’m running a YaCy node - which is a pretty awesome project to create a search engine indexed “by the people, for the people.”
YaCy provides a java servent that can index internal resources and external web pages. You have MANY controls over what and how it’s indexing and the resources allocated to it. There are tons of built-in analytics and logging for the stats geek in you.
It’s still rough, but seems damned promising. A bonus – it uses jQuery and Solr.
I really like the idea of indexing all the content you care about and also providing that index to the world at large to search, but I have concerns over the long-term impact of more ‘bots crawling the web. I would like to see YaCy figure out a way to minimize it’s impact on a global level – if every yacy node is indexing the same sites, it could easily escalate to a DDoS-level problem. Perhaps they’re already working on this issue.
There was a pretty annoying regression in nvidia support under Kubuntu (and probably regular ole’ Ubuntu) 11.10 – dual monitor support is busted. Ouch.
Confusion abounds on how to fix this, but it seems all you need to do is:
A: Wow,i bet that in 2040 people won’t stop watching tv. I thought that this episode was not as action -packed as some of them are. The defrosted rich guy didn’t get that he wasn’t supposed to disturb stuff.
