In a press release issued by NASA in the U.S. today, they have publicly approved a new tank fitting design. While this may seem rather mundane to many of us, this is actually an important step to preventing future mishaps that can be caused through outdated parts and designs. I applaud the effort, however I just wish this could have happed a bit sooner….

Two Thumbs Up for Wikipedia

Two Thumbs Up for Wikipedia 07/16/2004 09:50 AM

I, ROBOT / ** (PG-13): Wikipedia got a mention in Roger Ebert's review of "I, Robot," posted this morning.

Asimov's robot stories were often based on robots that got themselves hopelessly entangled in logical contradictions involving the laws. According to the invaluable Wikipedia encyclopedia on the Web, Harlan Ellison and Asimov collaborated in the 1970s on an "I, Robot" screenplay, which, the good doctor said, would produce "the first really adult, complex, worthwhile science fiction movie ever made."

Beautiful. On another note, the company at the center of this movie is called "U.S. Robotics." Was it called that in the book, or did they borrow the name from the modem company? Which came first?

Thumbs Up for Firefox

Thumbs Up for Firefox 04/23/2004 04:31 PM

Will Mozilla Fly?: Very positive article on Firefox from a U.K. IT magazine.

It took me a whole five minutes to decide to ditch Internet Explorer and switch to Firefox. Why? The learning curve is about 5 minutes — at most. FireFox is simpler to use. Configuring it is easy and would probably be easy for just about any PC user. You are not faced with the typical Microsoft feature-bloat.

Mozilla Firefox has a better layout and a larger web page area. It loads all your Internet Explorer 'favorites' when you install it on MS Windows and blocks pop-ups completely (there is an option to allow them on specific sites).

I've actually gone back to the full Mozilla suite due to less than perfect IMAP support in Thunderbird.
