USATODAY.com - Yesterday I stood inside what is probably the world's third-most-powerful supercomputer - the Terascale Computing Facility at Virginia Tech. (I say "probably" because the testing won't be done till next week - the Department of Defense is using it right now and can't be interrupted.) It's composed of 1100 Macintosh G5 computers running in parallel.

A Cog in the Baseball Machine

A Cog in the Baseball Machine 04/09/2004 04:05 PM
Last month I went to an all-day umpiring workshop, and today was the Little League Opening Day parade. As a side-effect, I’m feeling rather culturally well-rooted, not to mention erudite: two strikes on the batter, a foul-tip bounces off the catcher’s mask into the air, the third basemen charges in and catches it; is the batter out? Or... runners on first and second, pop fly to third, infield-fly rule called, the ball bounces off the third baseman’s glove through foul territory into the dugout, what happens? Then there’s the crash and howl of the bagpipe band as hundreds of bright-clad children march onto the immaculate infield grass... Opening Day!...

Timothy Leary called this device "the most sophisticated neuro-phenomenological device ever designed." A dream machine is being exhibited this week in San Francisco. If you can't make it there, you can perhaps build your own.

Eco Egg Washing Machine

Eco Egg Washing Machine 04/15/2005 09:59 AM

The Eco Egg Washing Machine will delicately handle even your most fragile, lacey underthings, using "gentle agitation" in lieu of the traditional agitator. It's been around since 2003, but Shiny Shiny covered it and I couldn't resist. Definitely the most fun washing machine to pretend you're an astronaut in, it's available from Amazon for just $75, and can plug right into the kitchen faucet in your studio apartment. The big downside: There's no spin-dry, so you have to hand-wring your clothes.

On The Guts of a New Machine (Aside)

On The Guts of a New Machine (Aside) 12/02/2003 01:29 AM

One thing that I noticed for the first time today was the distinct similarity between the navigational style of the iPod and the horizo ntal-heirarchy menu-driven interface to Tivos. Is there a memetic forebear to both of these that I'm unfamiliar with, or is this simply an emerging standard in navigating through libraries of content when you only have a few physical buttons and real-life interface elements to deal with?

Big Machine Identified

Big Machine Identified 06/22/2005 01:56 AM

A few months ago, I asked people what the machine was in a picture I found on the Net. Many people commented and identified it as an earth-mover of some kind.

However, I got an email from Ian recently that included a somewhat cheesy Power Point Show which included the pictures at right (click for 600-pixel versions) and this text:

This is the largest earth mover in the world built by the German company, Krupp, and seen here crossing a federal highway in Germany en route to its destination (an open-pit coal mine). It is cheaper to move the thing like this, than to construct or reassemble onsite.

• The mover stands 311 feet tall and 705 feet long.

• It weighs over 45,500 tons

• Cost $100 million to build

• Took 5 years to design and manufacture

• 5 years to assemble

• Requires 5 people to operate it

• The Bucket Wheel is over 70 feet in diameter with 20 buckets, each of which can hold over 530 cubic feet of material.

• A 6-foot man can stand up inside one of the buckets.

• It moves on 12 crawlers (each is 12 feet wide, 8' high and 46 feet long)

• There are 8 crawlers in front and 4 in back.

• It has a maximum speed of 1 mile in 3 hours (1/3 mile/hour)

• It can remove over 76,455 cubic meters each day. (100,000 large dump trucks at 40yds. each)

One hundred thousand dump trucks per day? Wow. I can't vouch for any of the validity here, but it's a big machine no matter what figures you slap on it.

De-Malwaring a Machine

De-Malwaring a Machine 12/28/2004 05:13 PM

How to fix Mom's computer: Here's a great article on how to de-malware a computer. Gina from scribbling.net went home over the holidays and had to "fix" her mother's computer. She was so awesomely kind to write down everything she did, complete with screencaps.

Related to this, the people in my office have purchased about a dozen new home computers from Dell this year (the Dime nsion 2400 was going for as cheap as $349 at one point). They have them all shipped to the office, and they ask me to set them up.

This means I've gone through a dozen new computer set-ups this year, and I've developed it into an art-form. I really should write the process down — what I enable, what I update, what I uninstalled, what I reinstall, etc. I'm proud to say that I present people with a pretty bulletproof machine, when everything is said and done.

If you don't think it's necessary to set-up a brand new computer well, read this. Via Kottke.

The Republican propaganda mill, a brief history It's bigger than Bush vs. Kerry. It's about billionaire funded thinktanks (AEI, Heritage) paying columnists to sit around and make stuff up or legitimize crackpot theories (blacks are genetically stupid, japanese internment was okay). Furthermore its about radio, internet, blogs, tv news and publishing houses working in concert to pummel memes onto the American public. When this stuff infects your culture and is no longer the domain of the loons but now as mainstream as apple pie and Wal-Mart, what do you do?

Coke Machine Hacks 12/22/2004 01:30 AM
Xeni Jardin: HOWTO doc on hacking Coke vending machines by way of the drink selection buttons on the front display. Link (Thanks, Jason Sutton). Mirror one, Mirror two, and Google cache (Thanks, Dan, Jackson Baker and Scott M.)

Update:: Reader Chris Vincent says,

Just thought I'd point out that most of the content on those sites (including the Coke machine article) is verbatim from the Anarchist's Cookbook, a legendary collaborative document that can be found all over the internet. Everything from social engineering to fun explosives to (obviously) Coke machine hacks can be found there.

Another interesting bit of information, this time about Pepsi machines (not from the cookbook, just something I found out about last week):

New Pepsi machines have a "code", a special sequence in which you can push the buttons on the face of the machine, which causes the LED screen to report the number of cans sold and the total cash value. I'm not sure what that code is, and it may be configurable on a per-machine basis. I'm sure somebody out there can shed more light on it than me.
