in a wallet, and I dont have a wallet.
I must be from the future, where ppl carry dont have wallets.

I am sry, but what kind of forecast is this!!

Wish I had modpoints for you

There is a generation of scientisits that doesnt know how to use anything but them
I used to work in a company, with scientists aged 45 and above, they had linux clusters, powerful desktops with the latest software, but in the office, there HAS TO BE a scientific calculator lying on the desk somewhere.
Companies realize that there is still a minor need, and produces for that need accordingly.
But i assume that this will disappear.

Its on the 8th second of the vid. I always doubted his genius, but you got to hand it to him, he is a genius.

Literal translation of what he is blabbering:
"we will crawl upon them in million to cleanse Lybia inch by inch, house by house, Zynga by Zynga ...bla bla"

wish i had mod points!

and it did NOT work!
I was one of the ppl, who actually joined the revolution due to the fact that I did not have an internet connection.
So i went to Tahrir square. To my surprise, i found thousands like myself, who found themselves there because they could not
get their updates online, so decided to go see whats going on, and then latter on got involved. It even got worse when the gov. cut of news channles like Jazeera.
What i am noticing is extreme insanity, because you would think that there is some kind of analyst or adviser who saw that happen in Egypt and decided it was a bad idea, but nooooo..they are just too smart for that. Its the same school of thought i guess.

Peak oil being reached does not mean that there is a peak demand of energy. We will always need more energy, from oil or other resources, and , we will never seize to stop having the need to travel, faster and further.
Hence, NO, we did not reach "peak travel", we just reached "peak car sales".

Mod parent up!

Can someone correct me if I am wrong, but didn't he mention that he will release all the documents if he gets arrested?!

I highly recommend watching this vid, demonstrating the "New Imaging" methods, its also quite humorous.

I have been contacted by a "confidential" Finnish company requesting QT developers with Meego experience. I have not read the FA, just the title.

I have the Qt experience, but not the Meego, I just though this could be relevant.

If Oracle is intending to change the name of Open Office, I cannot think of any better name than OrFice

I am a programmer, who works closely with scientists in scientific computing in the fields of fluid mechanics simulation, and aerodynamics simulation.
Your question is really not clear, in both these fields that I work on, the requirements vary vastly, and it also varies to the users I support (over 100 scientist). some of them have huge data sets, spanning up to 600 GB/file, a single simulation run can give a geologist a 1 TB file.
Others, have a few hundred MB of data. Each is handled differently.
The data itself, can be parsed and stored in in a DB for analysis in some cases, and in others, that is very impractical and will slow down your work.
Each scientist has a different way of doing things.

So the bottom line, if you want any useful answers, be more specific. What field of science (i can tell you are a chemist?), what simulations/tests do you use, how fine are your models are your data sets and what is their format, what kind of data are you interested in, you should seriously consider an archiving solution because i guarantee you will run out of space.
