I am sure that people will just ignore the robots. |

I thought it would be fun for Peter to bring his new little camera along... |

This time the fires are getting way too close to densely populated urban areas--something like 500 homes destroyed and 13 dead last I checked. Here's the NYT reporting: Deadly California Fires Threaten 30,000 Homes. From the Mexican border to the suburbs north of Los Angeles, large sections were under siege today by six major fires and several smaller ones. |

The Dynamic Systems Initiative (DSI) is a Microsoft and industry effort to enhance the Microsoft® Windows® platform and deliver a coordinated set of solutions that dramatically simplify and automate how businesses design, deploy, and operate distributed systems. Microsoft is investing heavily in software R&D and aligning partner investments to deliver end-to-end offerings integrated across application development tools, operating systems, applications, hardware, and management tools that will result in reduced costs, improved reliability, and increased responsiveness across the entire IT life cycle. |
