  1. @plutokiller Do you think the bears are hanging around houses because they were displaced by the fire?
  2. Good data visualization paper: http://www.leebyron.com/els... (via @RaphaelJS)
  3. @DmitryBaranovsk OK, thanks. Worth knowing.
  4. @RaphaelJS What are they talking about re Firefox 2 not supporting SVG. 1.5 was OK, wasn't it?
  5. Just finished reading http://www.copenhagendiagno... . Some good news (re clathrates, Sahel greening), mostly deeper poo, though.
  6. @mars_stu Yeah, blunt end forwards is pretty undignified. OTOH, the Shuttle stack reminds me of camels and committees.
  7. @mars_stu ...and how many people have died as a result of capsule launch failures?
  8. @RobertPearlman Well, they weren't European, Russian, Chinese, ... I don't think U.S. implies government: local, state or federal.
  9. @RobertPearlman On further reflection, add three SpaceShipOne flights as well.
  10. Documentary evidence that the UK government condones torture: http://www.edavies.nildram....
  11. @RobertPearlman I make it 161st or 162nd depending on whether you count 51L. Suspect you're not counting the two X-15 spaceflights.
  12. NASA humour: http://twitpic.com/j0wpt
  13. @rozsavage If he finds you so that's his problem, not yours. Still, I think he's rather missing the point.
  14. @DrStuClark Will anything be available during or after the debate? Transcript, video, whatever?
  15. @akkakk Thanks for that. Knew there was a way with dd but forgot what so just piped through pv. I'll remember now.
  16. Wycombe Astro Soc thread on that occultation: http://bit.ly/44QObB
  17. RT @cosmos4u Tomorrow a very small asteroid should occult a very bright star for Europe: check out http://call4obs.iota-es.de
  18. @adafruit http://bit.ly/4w9OKS
  19. @JeniT Other than svn log --xml | saxon -s - ... ?
  20. @astropixie RL Trask's "Mind The Gaffe" book says not really, just preferences slightly different in US and British.
