Fairy Tales for the Erudite (Dec 11 2003 06:01 GMT) - Fairy Tales for the Erudite is an amusing site that has translated a few popular fairy tales into "more erudite" language. For example in "The Minikin Incarnadine Cowl-Titivated Gamine, or Little Red Riding Hood", the prose reads something like this: Erewhile there existed a jejune hoyden, who had secured the veneration of all, even those who had espied her for merely a singular discrete trice. Her consanguinities comprehended, among others, an enate predecessor, possessing the prosaic appellation of grandmother, and via the largess of this clement crone, she procured a Lilliputian capote, with a most vermilion capuche, whence her winsome sobriquet, "Little Red Riding Hood", was so engendered. All the "hard words" have links to their definitions in case you find yourself stuck attempting to decipher the story.... |

Pretty women scramble men's ability to assess the future (Dec 11 2003 06:00 GMT) - New Scientist: Pretty women scramble men's ability to assess the future (via AMCGLTD) Both male and female students at McMaster University were shown pictures of the opposite sex of varying attractiveness taken from the website 'Hot or Not'. The 209 students were then offered the chance to win a reward. They could either accept a cheque for between $15 and $35 tomorrow or one for $50-$75 at a variable point in the future. Wilson and Daly found that male students shown the pictures of averagely attractive women showed exponential discounting of the future value of the reward. |

Determining the size of objects in memory (Dec 11 2003 06:00 GMT) - Someone asked for a method to find out how much memory their cached queries, and components are using on the cf-talk mailing list today. In CFMX and in java there are no build in methods for determining the size of an object. The actual size of objects are a lot less important to Java and ColdFusion developers because the JVM handles all of the memory management for us. In languages like C the developer has to do all this work. To find the size of an object you simply find the size of each ob |

Hurdy-Gurdy Man (Dec 11 2003 06:00 GMT) - Gilles Chabenat & Alain Bonnin Trame (independent release) The piano played a pivotal role in the history of jazz. Many jazz pianist luminaries such as Oscar Peterson, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Jelly Roll Morton and Duke Ellington come to mind. However, with a few exceptions, the traditional French instrument, hurdy-gurdy has not played a starring role with jazz ensembles. When I performed a web search on the hurdy-gurdy's role in modern jazz, three performers' names appeared including Matthias Loibner, guitarist/hurdy-gurdy player for the Austrian jazz/rock/folk fusion ensemble Deishovida, a Swiss musician-composer Mani Planzer and Gilles Chabenat of the jazz duo Trame. |

Sovereign Semiconductor (Dec 11 2003 06:00 GMT) - In the best decision out of Motorola in years — now that Chris Galvin has resigned — the Motorola Semiconductor Product Sector will be spun off into its own independent corporation. After years of mismanagement and dwindling mindshare, setting SPS free could spark the rebirth of the sleepy chipzilla, but sadly for Apple and Mac users the move has come too late to benefit Macintosh. |

Vintage Photo Archives: Nien Nunb (Dec 11 2003 06:00 GMT) - Nien Nunb certainly was world-renowned for his keen fashion sense, and shortly after the battle of Endor went on to becoming the galaxy’s number one designer of humanoid male active and formal wear. Good thing too, since today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive couldn’t even fly a Corillian freighter through a Death Star service tunnel without ripping off a sensor dish… |
