Half-male, half-female, all crab
Half-male, half-female, all crab
06/17/2005 03:35 PMDavid Pescovitz:
Fishermen caught a crab in the lower Chesapeake Bay that's literally
half male, half female. Among other differences, male blue crabs have
deep blue claws while females' claw tips look like they were painted
with red nail polish. The fishermen noticed that this particular crab
had one of each. Researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine
Science say that the condition, known as bilateral gynandromorphism,
is caused by a "chromosomal mishap." Studying the rare animal could
increase understanding of crab sexual development and breeding
behavior. From the Washington Post:

Before turning over the crab to the scientists, (boat captain David)
Johnson and other watermen conducted their own experiment into its sex
life, with bewildering results. They dropped a female crab, which was
just about ready to mate, into its tank.
First, the half-and-half crab cradled the female under his legs, as a
male crab would do in preparation for mating.
Then, the crab seemed to lose interest in the female and let her go,
Johnson said.
Then a day later . . .
"He ate half of her," Johnson said.

part of the network. Yay them. On the other, I really wish they
wouldn't do this from their nameserver machines. Having all the
machines in your resolv.conf black-holed for security violations makes
life somewhat less fun than one might otherwise like......

What a day and half a night!
What a day and half a night!
06/25/2004 07:09 AMWell I have had one heck of day woke up this morning to agonizing
back pain stretched for a while to try and get the back to loosen up.
Went downstairs and found the meds the doc had stocked me up on. A
OxyCooden and a Flexeril and 20 minutes later I was doing much better.
After a 2 hour nap I am up trying to get some work done. Start off and
play around with Top Style and Homesite deciding that I still like
Hotmetal better for regular html stuff but Top Style is the ticket for
CSS. Went ahead and paid for that over the web and no I don't have to
deal with the trial nags.
About 2 this afternoon I decide I have the templates and the CSS
cleaned up as much as it is gonna be on the MT3 Test site and decide
to roll the production to MT3 along with a couple of other sites I
run. Start backups of the 2.6 site along with downloading the
databases etc. Between a run to the pharmacy dinner and messing with
the kids. This site is now running MT3. I then decided to do some
house cleaning on the Laptop as I have been abusing it for the past 2
months and needed to get all of the software I have bought along with
all of the programs that I decided where not worth it de-installed and
general file organization. Burn a couple of Master DVD's etc etc etc.
So here I am at 1:45am Hawaiian time and I am ready to see what has
happened in the tech world news. No wonder my wife calls me nuts
sometimes.
But I will tell you one thing that I have been able to get done
while recovering from spine surgery is that I am remote logging into
all of my machines and getting them organized and sync'd. Wife said
her PC has not run this good in a couple of years. Amazing what you
can get done when you have nothing but time on your hands.

the subject, can someone explain to me why having your code downloaded
illegally can delay your product development by a year. Sure, you'll
want to change it sufficiently that online play can't be hacked. But a
year??? Half-Life 2 better be durn good! And here's an unrelated tip:
If you want to discuss Aspberger's Syndrome with your thirteen year

Fun With Stats: How To Turn Less Than
Half Into 95%
Fun With Stats: How To Turn Less Than
Half Into 95%
03/31/2005 02:52 PMYou have to hand it to the folks who put out research reports. They
certainly know how to pick up stats that aren't particularly
interesting and twist them into suggesting something that simply isn't
true. While the Globe And Mail got this story right, others who are
following up on it, are picking up on exactly what the study's
publishers wanted them to focus on. Slashdot has announced that
95% of
IT projects are not delivered on time -- which sounds a little
alarming (though, probably not if you work in technology, where you
might have guessed such a number). Of course, that's not what the
actual story says at all. In
fact, the study claims that less than half of IT projects run late.
It's not Slashdot's fault, necessarily (though, it is made clear in
the article), as it appears this is exactly what the study's backers
wanted people to pick up on. The real stat is that 95% of
IT
groups claim that they don't complete
all projects on time.
In other words, if an IT group has 100 projects to work on this year,
and they deliver 99 of them on time, but one comes in late, they fall
into that 95% category. If anything is surprising about that number,
it's that it's not 100%. However, by positioning the study with the
95% number, it sounds a lot more interesting than claiming less than
half of all IT projects run over their expected delivery date.
