Since GHG hadn't lit a grill for a couple of years, Allan Knies begged him to do it once more. Approximately 10 gallons of liquid oxygen were dumped onto two grills. Click on each pix to see a larger version with more resolution and colormap. The bucket on the end of the board holds 3 gallons of LOX. Liquid oxygen is a pale blue color (like the sky) and slightly magnetic. These jpegs were taken from video taken by Joe Cychosz (3ksnn64@ecn.purdue.edu) and Jeff Sponaugle (jbs@ecn.purdue.edu).

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Thai fishermen caught a catfish weighing 293 kilograms - 646 pounds - which is believed to be the world's largest freshwater fish ever recorded, a researcher said Thursday.
A 293-kg (646-lb) Mekong giant catfish, netted in Thailand recently, may be the largest freshwater fish ever found. The fish was documented as part of a World Wildlife Fund-National Geographic project to identify and study and conserve freshwater fish around the world that exceed two metres in length.

The 2.7-metre (8.9-foot) Mekong giant catfish was netted May 1 by villagers in Chiang Khong, a remote district in northern Thailand, and weighed by Thai fisheries department officials, said Zeb Hogan, who leads an international project to locate and study the world's largest freshwater fish species.
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Weighing in at 13 pounds, 12 ounces, Delaney Jessica Buzzell isn't your average newborn. Her parents have even dubbed her the 'Big Enchilada.'

The Citrus Glycerin Cleansing Bar by Anthony Logistics For Men (5.5oz bar for $8 from Anthony.com) seemed to be your average glycerin soap at first glance. I found an odd phrase on the side of the packaging, 'Live clean, mostly. Shave clean, always.' Shave clean? Surely they couldn't want me to shave with mere soap, could they?
Offering a new visual for the modern exterior, the Quino and Lento Mailboxes provide a secure place for mail in their corrosion-resistant, architectural housings. The Quino is hinged at the bottom and swings open from the top to store mail and magazines, with a back slot for newspapers. The Lento features an acrylic front panel to indicate the presence of mail and opens from left to right, with a full-size slot in back for newspapers and magazines. Both designs lock with a key (mail can be placed in box without key) and come with aluminum nameplates for engraving. Made in Germany.

E-mails suggesting there was a conspiracy around Pope John Paul II's death or that Michael Jackson has passed away could be carrying a worm, experts have warned.
The idea behind the shutdown event tracker is that a server isn’t meant to be restarted or shutdown regularly. Therefore, when it is, Administrators should keep a log of exactly why the machine was powered down. Essentially, this can be a good thing since it allows you to store a database of shutdown events for future reference.
How do you upgrade one of the busiest web applications of the whole Internet to Java 1.5? This is a challenge under the best conditions, considering that the application must handle up to 7 million sessions and 106 million page views per day. This article is a case study of the Java 1.5 upgrade for the application and subsystems that make up the walmart.com web site.
The most popular beer nowadays is Victoria Bitter with a 30% market share while Fosters, despite its image as the Aussie beer due to overseas marketing, is usually only drunk by tourists. If you see anyone order or drink Fosters ask him where he's from, if he's an Aussie I'd like to hear about it, personally I have never seen an Aussie touch the stuff.

These Neutraface house numbers will make any dump look downright cool. Neutraface is a great font inspired by architect Richard Neutra and designed by House Industries. The custom made house numbers are available in stainless steel (satin or polished) and aluminum (silver or a variety of baked enamel colors). See the pricing calculator for cost. Here's to hoping you're address isn't 479455 Main Street — they charge by the number.
But it’s not just the capacity that makes this new SwissMemory Victorinox cool, it’s also a very different design from the previous version. Whereas the original device I had was finished in the traditional Swiss Army red plastic, this one is flanked by hard wearing textured aluminium.
Hiding inside the swanky aluminium casing you’ll find a pair of scissors, a knife and a nail file/screwdriver. Unlike the previous SwissMemory Victorinox, there’s no pen or torch integrated into this one. Of course you can buy a SwissMemory Victorinox with the red finish, which includes both the pen and a white LED torch, but it will cost you a little bit more.
The 1GB USB memory key folds out easily and can be plugged directly into a USB socket. The memory key can be removed completely from the knife, which is handy if you need to take it with you on a plane. Once removed it becomes apparent that this is one of the smallest 1GB memory keys you’re likely to find.
As a developer, you've probably, at some unfortunate point in your life (possibly several points, actually), been handed an Excel file that has been crammed full of 'data' by someone in marketing and told to 'do something with it.'
We STILL have not been able to go out and see the latest Star Wars here in Japan, so we'll have to be happy with some USB (2.0) memory keys (256Mb) that have the main characters of the movie printed on them. No info on the price yet, but they should be available from July onwards.
Imagine a light bulb that lasts 10 years and consumes only 2-3 watts of power... LED technology has made it possible! These LED replacement bulbs are smaller than standard bulbs and screw into standard light sockets. Perfect for hard-to-reach installations where bulbs are difficult to change. If left on for 12 hours a day for a year, one of these bulbs would use about $1 worth of electricity.
Booth babes we’ve heard of, but quite why Taiwanese CPU cooler manufacturer Thermaltake felt compelled to field an army of helmeted geeks (CPU-fan-cooled helmets, no less) at Computex last week is totally beyond us. NVIDIA apparently one-upped them with a stand where you could get a cone of green ice cream for yelling the company’s slogan into a megaphone, though.
Conclusion
The Vanessa (L-Type) by Titan stands out, for its particularly good cooling capacity and extravagant design features. The Sonic Tower by Thermaltake also boasts an impressive cooling capacity, and if passive operation isn't feasible, an optional 120 mm fan can be added, albeit at an additional cost.
If you don't have a lot of space in your computer, the CNPS7700 Cu from Zalman is a good option, offering good cooling capacity with minimal noise emission at a reasonable price. Athlon XP users would do well to go for NorthQ's NQ 3312 model: it can be installed even on Socket A motherboards without retention module holes.
The losers in this test were the Vortex TX from Cooler Master and the StarIce from Asus. In both cases, either the cooling capacity was too low or the noise level was too high.
We selected 19' LCD monitors that heavy hitter vendors tout as some of the best they've got. With response rates ranging from 8 to 25 ms, their superlatives also remain tied to the application, whether you want to run Photoshop, office apps or watch DVDs--and don't forget about gaming.
At his keynote address today at WWDC2005, Steve Jobs announced that Apple is indeed making a switch to Intel processors. What this change means to the current Mac community and the development of the Mac platform remains to be seen, but Apple will have some tough times ahead switching to a new architecture. Here's a summary from MacNN:
Two major transitions for Mac: 68K to PowerPC. Next Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. Now time for third transition. Transition to Intel-based Macs. Developers Now. Next year for users. 'Because we want to make the best computers for our customers.' No G5 PowerBook yet. Future products can't be build on IBM of PowerPC. Intel has performance and better performance per watt. Intel delivers much better performance per watt. Starting next year the first Macs with Intel processors. Shipping by next WWDC. Mostly complete by 2007 WWDC. Complete by the end of 2007. Two-year transition. [10:28 am] Blank
Just saw this from this website vidmar.net/weblog and it had an item about this appSynergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).
With synergy, all the computers on your desktop form a single virtual screen. You use the mouse and keyboard of only one of the computers while you use all of the monitors on all of the computers. You tell synergy how many screens you have and their positions relative to one another. Synergy then detects when the mouse moves off the edge of a screen and jumps it instantly to the neighboring screen. The keyboard works normally on each screen; input goes to whichever screen has the cursor.
In this example, the user is moving the mouse from left to right. When the cursor reaches the right edge of the left screen it jumps instantly to the left edge of the right screen.
You can arrange screens side-by-side, above and below one another, or any combination. You can even have a screen jump to the opposite edge of itself. Synergy also understands multiple screens attached to the same computer.
Running a game and don't want synergy to jump screens? No problem. Just toggle Scroll Lock. Synergy keeps the cursor on the same screen when Scroll Lock is on.
Do you wish you could cut and paste between computers? Now you can! Just copy text, HTML, or an image as you normally would on one screen then switch to another screen and paste it. It's as if all your computers shared a single clipboard (and separate primary selection for you X11 users). It even converts newlines to each computer's native form so cut and paste between different operating systems works seamlessly. And it does it all in Unicode so any text can be copied.
Do you use a screen saver? With synergy all your screen savers act in concert. When one starts they all start. When one stops they all stop. And, if you require a password to unlock the screen, you'll only have to enter a password on one screen.
If you regularly use multiple computers on one desk, give synergy a try. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
