Pluto — a Complex and Changing World 191
astroengine writes "After 4 years of processing the highest resolution photographs the Hubble Space Telescope could muster, we now have the highest resolution view of Pluto's surface ever produced. Most excitingly, these new observations show an active world with seasonal changes altering the dwarf planet's surface. It turns out that this far-flung world has more in common with Earth than we would have ever imagined."
Submission + - Tech workers go nude for charity calendar (itpro.co.uk) 3
nk497 writes: London tech workers have stripped off to create their very own naked calendar for charity. Created by TechCrunch Europe contributing editor Milo Yiannopoulous, London Nude Tech 2010 isn't half as frightening as you'd think. It features photos (a few included at the link) of female and male tech entrepreneurs — one with strategically placed Mac — for every month of the year. It's raising funds for Take Heart India, so pick up your copy — it's for charity, right?

The scans show calcification of arterial pathways, a preserved sign of atherosclerosis, the heart disease caused by hardening arteries.

Dr. Gregory Thomas, co-lead author on the study, stated, "The findings suggest that we may have to look beyond modern risk factors to fully understand the disease."

Yippee.
Cisco (and probably several others) have done this by default for many many moons now. By way of practical demonstration, notice that equal weight routes load balance per flow, not per packet. What it allows is subsequent routing decisions to be offloaded from a route processor down to the asics on the card level. And don't try to turn CEF off on a layer 3 switch - even a lightly loaded one - unless you want your throughput to resemble 56k.

Just for clarification, the Virginia Department of Health Professionals is not the same agency as the Virginia Department of Health.
Each Virginia agency is its own little independent IT fiefdom, with all the disparity of budget and clue that entails. At least until their IT is taken over by Northrop Grumman, which is another clusterfuck entirely...
