Hogsheads per acre fortnight measures volumetric flux, not volumetric flow.

If you know the area of your pipe in the direction of flow in outhouses (that's microbarns for the layman) you can calculate the rate of flow in the standard rundlets per galacticyear in your head with the following simple conversion:

rundlets/galacticyear = (hogsheads/acre fortnight) × 3.5 × (pipe in outhouses / 4.04685642 × 10^37) × (5.85 x 10^9)

(without getting too technical, this is assuming hogsheads of ale, and the lower bound on a galactic year. Of course rundlets always refers to ale and not sherry/tobacco)

So a pipe with an opening of 2.02342821 × 10^34 outhouses (5 cm diameter) and a volumetric flux of 16 hogsheads/acre fortnight has a rate of flow of 163 800 000 rundlets per galactic year.

(or for you scientific types thats 427,417 years, 56 days, 23 hours, 29 minutes and 45.6 seconds per library of congress.)

Back when most data recovery and disk utility applications didnt work on vista (and many still dont) I found one called r-studio. It managed to recover a whole lot of data of a damaged flaky 5TB Raid 5 array, which is pretty impressive considering it was the only application at the time that could even recognize it as a drive, all the others just call it a damaged volume.

As far as I know its still the only one that can do Raids, at least as far as I can find. It also allows many customization options of searches and donest over simplify things too much. It takes forever but it finds any potential damaged file systems and then lets you use whichever one you like to recover whichever files you like. It can also be used to recover deleted files.

As far as I recall its pretty cheap, at least compared to a few out there and worth a try. But with all recovery and security software, I find the information and their website extremely generalized and vague about what exactly you can do, so I always download the software first to make sure it can do what I want, which 90% of the time it cant, and then if it works I buy it. Its not the most legal practice but if they dont offer demos and wont be specific about what their software does its the only practical solution.

Churches Use Twitter To Reach a Wider Audience 169

from the go-tell-it-on-the-internet dept.
In an attempt to reverse declining attendance figures, many American churches are starting to ask WWJD in 140 or fewer characters. Pastors at Westwinds Community Church in Michigan spent two weeks teaching their 900-member congregation how to use Twitter. 150 of them are now tweeting. Seattle's Mars Hill Church encourages its members to Twitter messages during services. The tweets appear on the church's official Twitter page. Kyle Firstenberg, the church's administrator, said,"It's a good way for them to tell their friends what church is about without their friends even coming in the building."

Organisms Trapped for 2M Years without O2 or Light

Hugh Pickens writes "An ancient ecosystem that has thrived in isolation without oxygen or light for two million years after being covered by the Taylor glacier on the East Antarctic ice sheet has been discovered in a pool of dark, salty water beneath half a kilometer of ice in Antarctica providing further evidence of the extreme conditions that life might be able to endure on other planets. "This briny pond is a unique time capsule from a period in Earth's history," said Jill Mikucki, who led the research at Dartmouth College. "I don't know of any other environment quite like this on Earth." Scientists made the discovery while analyzing water samples from Blood Falls, a curious blood-red stain on the face of the Taylor glacier that is exceptionally salty and rich in iron and sulphur, but containing no oxygen. Scientists believe the pool's microbes eke out a living by "breathing" iron leached from the bedrock beneath the glacier, using sulphur as a catalyst. Studying the microbes might help to explain how life survived a period known as "Snowball Earth" when ice sheets from both poles met at the equator encasing the world in ice. "It's a bit like finding a forest that nobody has seen for 1.5 million years," says Ann Pearson of Harvard University. "Intriguingly, the species living there are similar to contemporary organisms, and yet quite different — a result, no doubt, of having lived in such an inhospitable environment for so long.""
