Where's Our Real World Data Portability?

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:23:45 PDT
There was a question posted on Slashdot yesterday in which the asker sought advice on an electronic cash register set up that would output sales data in an open format. While the asker was looking for information from the point of view of a shop owner, it got me thinking about data portability. There's been a lot of clamor over the past few months about who owns attention data and a major online movement has started with the aim of pushing companies into granting access to that data to the user

The chart is courtesy of TradeTech. Despite a $3/lb slid in the spot price the long-term price remains firm at $95/lb and that is the number that we should be focusing on. No doubt this change to the spot price will send some investors to the exit door, but is it really a time to sell (more…) Related on Uranium Stocks: Uranium: Spot price up another $2.00 to $80/lb Uranium: Spot Price Up another $4.00 to $84/lb Uranium Spot Price Slips Again: $129/lb Uranium: Up $1.00 Uranium Spot Price now

The World Is Slowing

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:24:35 PDT
The times they are a-changin'. The world is definitely slowing down if the best international news story coming out of Europe is coverage of the German Chancellor's tits! Granted, her mammaries don't look altogether unappealing for a 54 year old, at least upon initial presentation, but a look at a few other shots soon reveals that Angela is prone to the ravages of gravity like any other woman her age. Still....good on her for having the dash to dress appropriately for an evening out. Who says wo

The curious looks

I have been using Arch Linux on my Thinkpad for the past few days to give small-scale video and audio presentations for groups of two to six people. It’s very rudimentary — a collection of probably 12 or 16 photos, then a short, six-minute audio replay. For software I keep it very simple, using Mirage for photo display, which does great in fullscreen mode. Even though the Thinkpad’s screen is only 800×600, it’s in fantastic shape. Since the presentation is usually given to just one small circ

FIWC online winners announced

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:27:03 PDT
Fifa.com have announced the winners for the regional online qualifiers. Great news for team Geekpulp as Hops has taken out the NZ bracket. I must admit that the difference in quality between Hops and I is now clear, and the grief that I gave him for getting eliminated at the same stage as me was unjustified (but funny). He was by a large margin the highest point getter in the Oceania region almost doubling his nearest competitions point count. Hops will be heading off to Germany for the Grand
