It is much easier to calculate eclipses using a lunar calendar. All lunar eclipses happen during a full moon and all solar eclipses during a new moon.

Last month I paid $1 for route53, 12 cents for S3. and am hosting my https site which I create with publii. Works fine. Took a little time to set up, but now it is just a button pu…

I was one of the first sailors to go through DS A school at Mare Island. Previously the DS went through ET school first. We learned the purpose of every gate in the UDT a 15-bit co…

This is cumbersome, but click on this link, then click on comments, and find the last comment - starts with Cynthia Gong. Links inside to models https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/…

I can go online and get all of my test results including graphs that show change. X-ray reports. The only thing not online is surgical notes, but I easier got copies of them. This …

I love the internet. I posted this question 20 years ago. Got an answer right away. And even more interesting answers today. Thanks! https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchi…

DEC wanted to sell Alphaservers (and VMS). Altavista was a great demonstration of scale and speed and distributed computing (versus a giant mainframe). Crawling and indexing speed.…

Just glucose monitoring for diabetics would make this a valuable patent. The last try at noninvasive glucose monitoring did not work out very well.

I think we should strive for more than to be better than most. I would rather be highly competent at something than good enough at many things. But I understand others may prefer t…

The potential speedup on those old F2C routines is amazing. The ability to use much more memory, understand cache levels, etc. have a huge impact.

I download books from my library (Boston Public). They are DRM'd and only usable on my Kindle for a few weeks. But that is enough. The range of books available is good. ANd if it i…
