Yet another ecological scourge may earn a place on the ever-lengthening list of problems associated with climate change: the formation of some types of so-called "dead zones"--marine expanses covering hundreds, or even thousands, of square miles that become too oxygen-starved during the summer to support most life forms. Armed with new analyses of Oregon's 2009 dead zone season, Jack...

Fertilizer efficiency is a big issue, but sadly it's because of the high costs of raw materials rather than the ecological effects.
- Johnny Worthington
So dead zones are really the red flashing light saying 'Hey, something's not right'

It sure is... he said he's going to do an in car commercial demoing the sync features

I must admit: after Leo's description, my next car purchase could be based in large part in Sync availability.
- aldenoneil
yeah, seriously. I've been following Sync since it was introduced and got to use it recently in a rental. My next car will almost certainly be a Ford because of it.

Leo, have you talked about the Dell Inspiron Zino HD before? I just noticed it and I was thinking about getting one for my home theatre or even as my Adobe Lightroom / photography machine. Does it have enough grunt?

Apple isn't open enough to expose the hooks for H.264 acceleration to Adobe In Flash Player 10.1, H.264 hardware acceleration is not supported under Linux and Mac OS. Linux currently lacks a developed standard API that supports H.264 hardware video decoding, and Mac OS X does not expose access to the required APIs. We will continue to evaluate adding the feature to Linux and Mac OS in future releases. Still significant CPU acceleration gains over 10.0.x

Allan, from what I can understand, BioPerl is a language that interfaces between the machines that do the sequencing and the programs that interpret that data. I think it's like a codec.
