More Wierdos!! (Aug 31 2004 00:57 GMT) - Okay, this is too funny. A 6-foot-tall, 275-pound bearded man crashed a children's birthday party in Oak Forest, identified himself as "vengeance," then helped himself to a piece of cake, police said. The incident occurred earlier this month at a home in the 14800 block of South Landings Lane in the south ... |

Found a solution (Aug 31 2004 00:56 GMT) - Instead of using stupid gif buttons they give me (the ones that keep breaking my XHTML) I am going to use pure CSS buttons, they'll load faster, and I won't need to post some funky gif code that breaks anything, since the layout of the blog site is in CSS ... |

H-bd Central (Aug 31 2004 00:55 GMT) - The CDC has a bunch of anthropometric measurements divided by age, sex, and race that you can take a look at, all performed on large sample sizes so that you get percentiles and not just means. For example, here is... |

Books (Aug 31 2004 00:55 GMT) - On programming, the cookbooks and notebooks and actionbooks and handbooks and essentialbooks and practicalbooks and appliedbooks can grind you down. Sometimes it's good to absorb material other than learning how to do something expedient really really quickly. I'm on my second reading of Tom Passin's book. I wish it was people's first exposure to the Semantic Web and not stuff like the American Scientist or Metacrap articles. Tom's book balances Semantic Web hype and potential. |

Американский эксперт не удивлен "шпионским скандалом" в Пентагоне (Aug 31 2004 00:55 GMT) - Американский эксперт по Ближнему Востоку не удивлен "шпионским скандалом" в Пентагоне. "Для меня не стало сюрпризом, что Израиль пытался тайно получить информацию из США", - заявил в интервью РИА "Новости" Эдвард Пэк, эксперт в области Ближнего Востока и бывший замдиректора контртеррористического центра в администрации Рональда Рейгана. По мнению Пэка, самым негативным в ситуации со скандалом в деле о передаче секретной информации Израилю сотрудником Пентагона является то, что информация касается третьей страны – Ирана. "Если Израиль захочет нанести удар по Ирану, многие могут предположить, что информация, которую он использовал при подготовке удара, поступила из США", – сказал он. В то же время эксперт недоумевает по поводу того, что история скандала получила такую большую огласку, поскольку между США и Израилем отношения очень тесные. |

Webfeed tracking still lags (Aug 31 2004 00:54 GMT) - Topix.net comments on how general search engines still don't do a good job of keeping up to date with incremental changes (most likely by scanning webfeeds) in The Daily Internet: The kind of searches I regularly do on Feedster and Technorati just aren't available on Google. No amount of fiddling with the advanced search options, rooting around on their labs site, or searching for obscure options will scan incremental new material from half an hour ago. Yahoo search seems to have surpassed Google with some advanced features, but they don't have an effective reverse chronological "sort by date" either. |
