I just grabbed a Powerade Zero. The only zero about this is the nutritional value.
Yay for sweetened blue water.
Carbs are an issue. I’d rather avoid them and avoid bolus’ing.
Para Caldas Novas, o início das operações está agendado para 14 de fevereiro e serão apenas aos domingos, sempre partindo e aterrissando no aeroporto de Viracopos, em Campinas (SP). A Azul realiza atualmente voos para 16 destinos brasileiros.
Q: I had a party and we opened a bunch of bottles of wine. How do I not waste that wine? I’m drinking as much as I can (Haha — I don’t want to waste any!) but there’s only so much I can drink or use in sauce before it goes bad.
Any ideas? Can I freeze it? How long will wine be good for in cooking before it goes bad?

What’s Google’s China business worth?
If Google follows through with its ultimatum to the Chinese government — let us run Google.cn uncensored, or we could pull out of China — Google could end up losing a decent amount of revenue this year.
In a note this evening, JPMorgan analyst Imran Khan estimates Google’s China revenue at around $600 million this year, with segment margins around 15% to 20%.
Khan also says “this could potentially have a far-reaching impact on the company’s overall long-term growth rate.”
Meanwhile, it’s great news for Baidu, China’s search leader. Which is why traders’ initial reactions to Google’s news were to send Baidu stock up about 7% after hours, and Google’s stock down 1%.

Q: Somehow in the crazy holiday gift givings, I ended up with SEVEN different jars of homemade jams and marmalades. The flavors are interesting and all over the place (jalapeno peach, boysenberry, cranberry marmalade), and I like jam and toast as much as the next guy, but do you have any suggestions for some recipes that use jams/jellies to help me make a dent in this massive stockpile?

AT&T’s wireless unit has been hit by numerous federal lawsuits over the last month, each arguing that the mobile telephony giant is illegally collecting nonexistent “taxes” on phone data access plans. The cases have been filed in states as varied as Georgia, Indiana, and Alabama, but all make the same charges against AT&T—and all use the same idiosyncratic spelling of “I-Phone.”
That’s because the same lawyers are involved in each one.

Just like the dinosaurs, if you’re not careful your exercise program can take a permanent dirt nap.

^^ mình nêu ra những vấn đề trên đây ko có ý muốn nhắc lại những hiềm khích đã qua, nhưng rõ ràng chúng ta cần nhìn nhận lại tất cả vấn đề và qua đó dần khắc phục không để xảy ra những tình trạng tương tự trong năm nay rất mong các mem trong forum đều giữ được bình tĩnh và giới hạn phát ngôn của mình trong từng vấn đề, tránh những xung đột cãi vã ko cần thiết, ko nên đề cập đến những vẫn đề nhạy cảm dễ xảy ra hiểu lầm lẫn nhau. Đồng ý là mỗi người đều có ý kiến của riêng mình và các thành viên đều muốn bảo vệ quyền lợi và có lòng tự hào về nơi mình đang sống nhưng sẽ là tốt hơn nếu mọi người thể hiện điều đó đúng nơi đúng lúc và đúng chỗ. Hi vọng trong thời gian sắp tới tình hình sẽ được cải thiện phần nào bởi vì mình nghĩ mọi người cũng chán ngấy cảnh thù hằn lẫn nhau rồi và mong các mem bỏ qua những lời lẽ nặng nề đã dành cho nhau, nên xưng hô thân mật trở lại với nhau, để có thể cùng bắt tay nhau xây dựng nên forum VN hùng mạnh cho bọn Tàu Mã Phi

As someone who embraced the cloud early on, you’d think I’d be all over the news that Google is finally delivering the mythical “G-Drive.” Oh, they’re not calling it that, but soon you’ll be able to store whatever files you want within Google Docs. We all should have guessed this was coming — my first clue was when I noticed that Google is storing my synchronized bookmarks from Google Chrome in plain sight on Google Docs.
So why then am I not standing on the rooftops yelling “Huzzah!” at the top of my lungs?
On one hand, Google is beating the pants off the services I use when it comes to pricing. Google offers 1 GB for free and each GB after that is $0.25 per year. Let’s see how that compares to some of my favorite services at different levels of storage for a full year.
With its highly scalable infrastructure, Google competes very well on pricing, as expected. So that’s a clear win, but getting at and easily using the data across all of my mobile devices is a huge factor.
The other three services I use all offer a mobile client for either my iPhone, my Nexus One, or both. And if there isn’t a mobile client, it’s coming soon per each product’s website. Of course, Google could be working on a mobile client for access to this cloud data, but there was no word of that today. The clients I’m currently using aren’t basic access applications either.
Take ZumoDrive’s iPhone application for example. With it, my entire music collection can be streamed from the cloud to my handset. Essentially, even an old 4 GB iPhone could have a virtually near unlimited music collection with such a setup. The built-in music player might not be quite as good as the native iTunes application, but I’ll take a slightly inferior experience over the limitations of fixed storage any day.
While Google’s new data storage offering will be useful to many, in its first iteration, it sounds like the real benefit will be for devices like laptops and netbooks over handsets. There’s definite value in it, but for now it appears like a place to park your data for a small fee. There’s plenty of places that already do that — and so much more for a wider range device types.
For now, I’m going to pass on the new service. I’ll likely test it out using the free 1 GB of space, but until I can easily use that data extensively on all of my devices, I’m sticking with what I use today. Ideally, I want my cloud data to act like, look like and behave like local data on everything. Of course, if I change my mind or want some cheap basic storage, I can always make the purchase from any web connected device on the fly.
How about you? Does the new Google Docs feature appeal to you as a cloud storage service or are you going to use something else? We all have different data needs, software requirements and devices to use with the cloud, so I’m curious as to your take.
Constructive comments are appreciated. This represents my very first works eveolving into more recent one, about a year’s worth of stuff.
Thanks.
:previous: This is a bad render, but it shows the truss-supported undersection that supports the trains, and it gives a modest view of the six lane highway on top.
:previous: This should give you a sense of scale… Also note the… streetlights. 🙂
:previous: 2500 pointlights + 2.13 Ghz dual core = very long rendering time.
This is a tower in a plaza type deal with a center fountain. I was going to add more buildings to the plaza (one of which I got most of the way through) but wasn’t happy with the design.
I like what has been rendered here, but everything else is rather… bad to say the least.
Eeach setback in the tower is 1.6 (just about the Golden Ratio) taller than the last (rounded to the next whole foot) starting at 50 feet. The building tops out at 1312 feet. This surprised me because it is almost exactly 400 meters. Weird.
Anyways, here ya go!
Also when rendering, I forgot to make the water in the fountain look like water. Whoops!

Quite a few of my friends have been urging me to write something about the “new” images of Iran’s space center that have shown up recently on Google Earth.
The trouble is, I hate rehashing stuff I wrote about almost two years ago when I “discovered” the facility—much like Columbus “discovered” America—and wrote about it in Jane’s Intelligence Review (see Geoffrey Forden, “Smoke and Mirrors: Analyzing the Iranian missile test”, JIR, April 2008, pp. 47-51; I have never understood how the editors pick titles for my papers).
Perhaps the most interesting part of the imagery now, given the connection between these two countries’ missile programs, is the similarity between a building at North Korea’s launch site and one at Iran’s. For those who would like to examine the site themselves, let me replicate the coordinates I published in the open literature for the first time nearly two years ago:
35.234440° N, 53.920798°E.
