What's a namber? A namber is a word that acts as a mnemonic for a number. For example, 65 is drum, and 181 is push. A namber address uses an arbitrarily-chosen list of nambers to represent each of the numbers from 0 to 255 in order to assemble four words to represent any IP address. Metafilter.com's namber is earth .frog.brown.tooth, and mysteryrobot.com conveniently provides translation and forwarding to the real IP address.

New Scientist (almost) gets it 09/15/2004 09:25 AM
There's a great article in the New Scientist about the dangers in IP extremism. As it rightly notes,

THERE are some things in life we take for granted. Among them are the ability to lend each other books, record TV programmes, back up expensive computer programs, and sell on our old CDs when we've got tired of them. ... That could change. New technologies are giving copyright owners the power to control the time and place we can view or play digital versions of music, films and text so tightly that we run the risk of losing these rights altogether.

But to read the article at the New Scientist website, you'll need to subscribe. Oh well. One step at a time.

Robotic Scientist - Scientists created a closed, automated system to conduct simple labor intensive scientific experiments in molecular genetics. The robot creates hypothesis and tests them. Supposedly it works more efficiently (picks less expensive experiments, and fewer of them) then its human counterparts (graduate students in biology and comp sci.). More detailed article in Nature here (institutional access / subscription required). I for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Animals laugh says scientist 04/06/2005 12:36 PM
David Pescovitz: Dogs, chimps, and rats laugh when they're having fun, according to psychologist Jack Panksepp of Bowling Green State University. Reporting in the journal Scien ce, Panksepp suggests that laughter may be an ancient emotional response older than humans. From BBC News:

Young chimps "play pant" as they mischievously chase and tickle each other.

And when rats play, they make chirps which some scientists associate with positive emotional feelings.

When rats are tickled in a playful way, they become socially bonded to humans and are rapidly conditioned to seek tickles, the US neuroscientist explains in Science.

Scientist Who Faked Data Loses PhD. 06/14/2004 02:05 AM
Two years ago the physics world was buzzing over accusati ons that a young physicist working at Bell Labs had faked the data for his impressive research. The research had been so impressive, in fact, that many expected him to receive the Nobel Prize. Instead, he quickly lost his job. Two years later, he's lost even more, as the University of Constance, where he obtained his PhD., has now revoked the degree from Jan Hendrik Schoen.

If you call a planet that is a toasty 400F earthlike, and only 13 light years away, I guess it's not to far off as far as Space Travel goes. To bad we did not have the Enterprise all fired up we could zip over their in a hurry and take a look. Better yet isn't it about some Aliens landed, and we hooked them up with some hot coffee in trade for some energy and space travel solutions. [S pace.com]
