Submission + - Chilean earthquake shortens days (businessweek.com)

ailnlv writes: According to TFA, days just got shorter. In brief, the recent earthquake slightly shifted the Earth's axis by about 8 cm and shortened days by 1.26 microseconds

"The changes can be modeled, though they're difficult to physically detect given their small size, Gross said. Some changes may be more obvious, and islands may have shifted, according to Andreas Rietbrock, a professor of Earth Sciences at the U.K.'s Liverpool University who has studied the area impacted, though not since the latest temblor."

Comment Re:Programming without music? (Score 1) 1019

I have a similar problem. I can only tune out certain styles of music without any lyrics, so that cuts down my choices of background music heavily. I mostly listen to Keith Jarrett's Köln Concert and some Oscar Peterson stuff. Easy to tune out and lovely to hear when you're not tunning it out.
