A great interactive map of the US, showing where the immigrants settled from 1890 to 2000. Click on the country they came from in the box, then move the slider along the timeline. :thumb:

The 20th Anniversary of the Internet. Scroll down to see Sir Tim Berners Lee presenting the concept of linked data.

Listen to him, and then do what he says. This guy invented the internet! (No, really. I'm serious. He really did.)

need new operasting system plz
 
Didn't like that one? Okay, here's another project for you:

Quote:

I need someone to program me a new OS (Operasting System) that looks different than Ms Windows XP etc. but has the same style. It does not need to run on a mac but all the other PCs. It's supposed to have a stylish look with clear edges etc. And ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE JUST A REDESIGNED WINDOWS as I'm going to sell that operating system later on.
These are some important points :

It should have ALL THE FEATURES that Windows Xp Professional has.
ALL the files that run on Windows XP ust also run on the BlueOrb OS.
It must have a very user-friendly interface (like MS WINDOWS XP)
When it gets Installed, the user needs to insert a serial number.
It HAS to be HACKER SAFE!
It must be quick and good looking.

glatt 03-16-2009 02:10 PM

Oh, I did that yesterday morning. Maybe I could sell it to them.

Flint 03-16-2009 02:33 PM

I wonder how he determines where your code will fall in the "$ 20-100" range.

They are cute, except when they first come out, and then only if they belong to someone else.

Only for about 10 seconds or less. Then they are unleashed on the world and are free to make life miserable for others. :D

The Capitol Steps are a political satire musical group.

Check out "Obama Mia":D

They remind me of Alan Sherman.

Thought some of the more musically inclinded dwellars would like this link.
Hobnox. The Audio Tool. I pretty much don't get it, but still had fun playing with it :)

Just came across a link to this project. It is an interactive Google Earth map of fallen American & Coalition servicemen & women who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afganistan:
Quote:

This Memorial Day I would like to share with you a personal project of mine that uses Google Earth to honor the more than 5,700 American and Coalition servicemen and women that have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have created a map for Google Earth that will connect you with each of their stories—you can see photos, learn about how they died, visit memorial websites with comments from friends and families, and explore the places they called home and where they died.


You need Google Earth 5.0 to view the map.

Bindlestiff Family Cirkus
 
http://www.bindlestiff.org/ <-- main site

and

http://www.thebindlestiffs.com/ <--- Just webisode documentary

I saw these guys featured on an HBO series. They go from kiddie shows to 'adult themed' shows. Watching the webisodes is a great way to see how the small circuses are still operating when all anyone seems to hear about is Ringling Brothers and Cirque du Soleil.

Awesome.

You can also listen to them on your scanner if you can receive ham frequencies. They are listed on the NASA page, IIRC.

Just happened upon a link for these on some webpage I was viewing. I think it is a neat idea.

glatt 05-26-2009 02:27 PM

Historic Aerial photographs.

It doesn't have anywhere near complete coverage of the US yet, but my town is covered, and yours may be too. I can look at aerial pictures of my neighborhood in 1949, 1962, 1979, 2002, and 2003. It interesting to see what my neighborhood looked like before it was bisected by Route 66. All these streets that currently dead end at a sound barrier wall used to pass through and connect the neighborhood. You can even see the construction of the highway in the 1979 shot.

The site is not as good as Google Earth, but if you are patient, there's a lot to see there. And Google Earth won't take you back in time. There are lots of annoying watermarks, but if you pan around and zoom in and out, they will shift to different locations.

capnhowdy 05-26-2009 07:15 PM

Great link. Thanks.

5 Psychological Experiments That Expose Humanity's Dark Side

http://www.mindpowernews.com/5Psychological.htm

I don't believe test #5,#2 or #1

gtown 06-08-2009 02:08 PM

Numbers 1 and 2 are the ones I've heard (and seen video) about so I tend to think all of these are true.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment

Flint 06-08-2009 02:25 PM

They made a movie about the prison experiment. It was so messed-up. Don't remember the name.

jinx 06-08-2009 07:51 PM

Here you go.
Stanford Prison documentary.

Flint 06-08-2009 07:55 PM

No, this was a fictionalized version that followed closely to the actual events. Damn. Wish I could remember the name of it.

gtown 06-08-2009 10:29 PM

Do you mean The Experiment from 2001?

Hollywood is also trying their hand at it:
