Hopscotch (Jan 26 2005 23:27 GMT) - Time to play at hopscotchJump, skip, hop, hopEveryone turns around to watchOur friendly game of hopscotchYou toss the stone, see where it landsJump one, skip twoYoure being held in your mothers handsAnd slowly start sifting through times sandsIts still your turnTake one big stepIts time that you learnThe pain of first loves burnHere you go again, toss the stoneSkip, skip, hopSuddenly youre all aloneWhere have all those true friends flown?Again its time to throw the rockJump 2, leap 1Now youre grown and you walk the walkOf someone passing farther along the clockToss the stone, up it goesHop, hop, hopWhere youll go next, no one knowsBut then somehow, a new love showsYou take your chancesOne little skipAll it took was second glancesAnd now youre lost in true loves dancesOne more turn before you goOnly one big leapYoure hesitating thoughIts the final step of life, so go<3 |

PHP - how far will SE's go? (Jan 26 2005 23:26 GMT) - I've given it a bash, using the same format as you suggested. I see what you mean now - it should give the SEO a kick up the bottom. Page generation time is 0.3986809253692627 seconds, (which is the same as it was in any case more or less) so hopefully when the site's under load the extra calls for the title variables shouldn't cause much bother. Thanks again |

Would You Like Fries With ... (Jan 26 2005 23:26 GMT) - Would You Like Fries With That Outsourcing, Part II Techdirt Last year we wrote about a number of McDonald's franchises that had outsourced their drive through order taking to a call center in Colorado. Customers had no idea the person they were talking to was thousands of miles away, and apparently, the call center operators were more efficient and more accurate. The restaurants liked it, because they could keep employees focused on serving the food. |

The Chemical Brothers remixed (Jan 26 2005 23:25 GMT) - Am Montag kam das neue Album "Push the Button" der Chemical Brothers raus, ich berichtete (mit Soundbeispiel). Nun gibt es das Ganze im Netz als Remix-Album, hnlich wie nach der Verffentlichung des letzten Prodigy-Albums. The DJs behind "Flip the Switch" see the remix album as a natural part of the evolution of UK dance music. In a recent interview, Ed was quoted as saying "We used to make cut-ups or DJ mixes for ourselves to play. Bootleg culture isn't a new thing. |

Groe Augen fr kleine Asiaten (Jan 26 2005 23:25 GMT) - Man muss sich nicht immer gleich alles umoperieren lassen. Mit dem "Groe-Augen"-MakeUp klebt man sich seine Augen einfach so zurecht, wie man sie haben mchte. Im Gegensatz zu manch schner Operation lsst sich dieses MakeUp wieder entfernen. Das Ganze sieht schmerzhaft aus, soll es aber nicht sein. Was es nicht alles gibt. |

Fafblog The Few, The Proud There's been some noise about the Pentagon's use of covert ops teams of late - specifically, of the Defense Department's decision to place these covert teams under its own authority rather than the CIA's in order to skirt Congressional oversight. The Medium Lobster doesn't see what's so outrageous about this. This is merely a natural extension of America's foreign policy: |

NIRF: Neutralizing IEDs with Microwaves (Jan 26 2005 23:25 GMT) - Because rebel Iraqi forces have been surprisingly effective in rigging together improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from things like garage door openers and cellphones (and, you know, bombs). The Pentagon isn't having it—they're spending no end of money to make sure we've got something more effective to seek-and-destroy them than shooting everything that looks like it might blow up. According to DefenseTech, researchers at the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Dahlgren Laboratory are working on something called NIRF (Neutralizing Improvised explosive devices with RF). The NIRF system produces a short-range microwave blast designed to fry IEDs' electronics. |

W3C Web Services Recommendations Support Faster Binary Data Transmission (Jan 26 2005 23:24 GMT) - Three new W3C Recommendations improve Web services performance by standardizing the transmission of large binary data. "XML-binary Optimized Packaging" (XOP) defines an efficient serialization of XML element content based on XML Infosets. "SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism" (MTOM) uses XOP to enable SOAP bindings that optimize a transmission. "Resource Representation SOAP Header Block" allows SOAP message recipients to access cached resources. |
