Karoli: is that your google wave nick or are you sniffling? :)

"Though the term “herd behaviour” today is most often used when talking about financial markets, it originally described individuals in a group acting together without direction – for example an animal herd fleeing from a predator. When seen from above, animal herds seem to follow intricate and intriguing patterns."
- Kol Tregaskes
from Bookmarklet
When we watch Planet Earth, I'm always amazed at the sheer numbers of herds. I like to think of herds as >1000 (is that less than?), but we saw one doc that showed something like 25K gazelles. Amazing. Or the one with the gigantic flock of birds. WOW.
- Anika
Planet Earth is an amazing documentary. I guess Nature's Great Events are on their way to the US soon too. That's another great natural history doc from the BBC.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes, I've seen NGE, but seriously PE is infinitely better, visually speaking. The only thing that bugs me about PE is the constant, "Thanks to our brand-new, super-expensive technology we were able to be the first to capture this fish swimming." or whatever. Enough with the dick-stroking just give me facts.
- Anika
Yeah but there isn't much of that to be fair and is completely overshadowed by the quality of the images and documentary. Both NGE and PE are excellent. We get so much of that from the BBC, it's great.
- Kol Tregaskes
You don't think it's a lot? The other night we watched the PE marathon on Discovery. In each hour show, Weaver must have mentioned it 3 - 4 times. That's a lot to me. :) I can't wait to get both series in a boxset, but we agreed that we'll wait until we get a better TV.
- Anika
Anyone know when the new Planet Earth is coming out, i heard they were filming it a long time ago but i know it takes years to make those?
- SteVe C
Steve, I had no idea there was even a new one in the making. How exciting.
- Anika
Steve, I just realized that the Planet Earth marathon I was watching was narrated by Sigourney Weaver, whereas the old ones were narrated by David Attenborough. Maybe these are the new ones, which explains why I was confused over some of the topics thinking, "Gosh I don't remember that one."
- Anika
New Planet Earth? News to me. I think there is a "movie" coming out or even out but I've not heard of any new series.
- Kol Tregaskes
In the U.S. Discovery cut the episodes and redid the narration with Sigourney. Same footage.
- Stephen Mack
Ah you can't beat David Attenborough - who could ever replace him?
- Kol Tregaskes
I'll have to look it up, but I thought it was in like Discovery magazine that they were making the next set of series. I was wrong once in like the second grade, so I guess it could happen again.
- SteVe C
Seriously? I liked Attenborough's narration.
- Anika
Anika. That's what I meant. There's no one better IMHO. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
David Attenborough is the king. Nobody else comes close. He's an incredible man- Parkinson did a great interview with him.
- Bec Rowe @d0tski
And Attenborough says he has no plans to retire. Yippee for us. :-)

One of the larger members of its family, the Pine Grosbeak is a bird of the boreal forests, found across northern Eurasia and North America, and south into the mountains of western Canada and the United States. A large, unwary finch, it makes periodic winter irruptions into southern Canada and northern United States. It is the largest and rarest of the "winter finches."

"The Vasco da Gama Bridge spans the Tagus River near Lisbon, Portugal. When it opened (and still today) it is one of the longest in Europe. With a total length of 17 km including 0.8 km for the main bridge, 12.3 km in viaducts, and 4.8 km in dedicated access roads, this magnificent structure is an immense cable-stayed bridge. It is named after Vasco da Gama – the famous maritime explorer, which in 1498 discovered the sea route to the Indies around the Cape of Good Hope."

""Bacon" variety avocados are in season in the winter; lighter in flavor than the more popular Haas variety, these large, thin-skinned avocados are exceptionally creamy and are perfect for using in sauces. While remoulade is typically made with mayonnaise, in this case we've substituted the mayo with avocado and seasoned it with lime juice."
- Steven Perez

I made the avocado remoulade tonight but with creole mustard and more of it than called for.

in my view, any and every tattoo is deplorable, rather disgusting para-culture .. where did it start? in prison, with gangs? ... and tattoo on a lady is doubly questionable, and unelegant ... I mean, where is this world going to?
- pb:
Petr - tattoos can be beautiful works of art, it's just that they often are not.
- Sparky, lurking
Petr, tattoos have been around as long as man. Tattoos have been found on mummified bodies from as early as neolithic times and present in cultures around the world. These are awesome though! I love bad tattoos :)
- Jason
Petr, you are very judgmental and I'm not just talking about this thread. You need to relax a little.
- Rah-PM 2012
I am judgmental, yes ... relaxed,also ... was it over the line what I said about tattooes? ..../////. IF the comment was over the rules, would the esteemed author of the post please delete it :] other than that, thank you for the advice :]

This book is available for the Kindle. Seems like the pictures would be the main draw, and I don't find that the Kindle is all that great for pictures, at least illustrations. Anyone have the Kindle version want to comment?

"If you are like most of us, you look back at your first DMV-issued driving test – that one you took with a dull nub of a pencil while standing in a crowded room – and remember racking your brain over questions that not only made no sense, but some that were downright confusing. Whether we approve of the age-old process or not, everyone eventually passes their first driving test (and it seems many forget everything the moment they hit the highways)."
- Derrick
from Bookmarklet
No, it took me forever to pass it the first time. h aha
- Shevonne
Not funny considering I have to take one soon. Argh.
- Liza + = ?
You "driving test hard" people are scaring me...
- Michael W. May
I have a beef with one of the questions. A large truck wants to pass me? Right.
- ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
I have to take the test again soon. Damn, it's like my 4th one.... I better get my license this time. >.>
- <3Heather<3
I always liked this rhetorical situation: "A police car, a fire truck, an ambulance, and a mail truck all stop at a 4-way intersection simultaneously. Who has the right-of-way?"
- Phil Glockner
I passed the driving test the first time even though I couldn't remember how many feet from an intersection you weren't supposed to park within.
- Morton Fox
The driving test is common sense, especially since they give you a book to study what the signs are. I only took it once and had no problems, but I think the rest of the folks here in GA must have felt like it was the SAT's
- Rah-PM 2012
I gotta tell ya, I was nervous as hell when I needed to get my GA driver's license, because as a European my driving skills are probably a little bit better, but one can never be sure.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
I scored 72%. Not bad considering I haven't driven a non-videogame car in years.

Either a number of things have changed in driving laws recently, or there are several questions with no correct answers. What color car gets right of way? Really?
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
ugh - i took that test - most retarded things ever. "what's the most common cause of accidents - failutre to see what's happening." what? That's like saying the biggest cause of pregnancy is sperm cells fertilizing an egg. Technically true, but retarded.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
There is a simple rule. If someone cuts you off and you're on a scooter or motorbike overtake that idiot. There's a good chance that same idiot will drive quite far below the speed limit.
- Richard A.
Mark, the question isn't suggesting a color of car gets the right of way, but more that it's a simple way for test-takers to identify which car _in that illustration_ has the right of way.
- Andrew C (✓)
Awesome, my work firewall just blocked autoinsurance.org/driving_test as "PORN".

iWorks Web version? They'll likely try to compete somehow for the new online MS Office. Also, they may later attempt to provide servers for APNS? Highly doubt that part though.

I think a lot of companies want to rebuild datacenters not just to embrace cloud computing, but to tackle the incredible densities that are now possible due to virtualization. Power and cooling need to be revamped to handle the 200+ watt/sq. foot spaces we are now seeing (compared to ~100-125 watts/sq. foot just a few years ago). At the same time, they want to consolidate as much as possible (large corps only want 3-4 datacenters instead of 10-15).
- Peter Ghosh
Because they have a huge amount of cash to burn ? And know cloud computing will grow and that datacenters will be in demand ? :)

I wonder if they want to go into the Social Networking arena with iTunes.
- imabonehead
They've already said they're doing that, but via building Last.fm and FB connections into iTunes itself. I'm really not sure what the former would accomplish since Last.fm's client already provides all the necessary functionality but *shrugs*

"One of the more exciting features introduced in Windows 7 is AppLocker. Many of you know about Software Restriction Policies, they allow you to block the execution of a program by file name or hash calculation. You probably also know how it was a race to block applications in our network with these methods. Users could change the name of the file, or applications updates so frequently that you would constantly need to generate new hash files. AppLocker works under the premise that it’s easier to allow the applications you want, and block the rest."

"That's it, ladies and gents. The seemingly endless train of special edition Bugatti Veyrons has ended. Allegedly. After taking the wraps off the Sang Noir, Pur Sang, Fbg by Hermes, Grand Sport, Bleu Centenaire and the quartet of individual Centenaire tribute editions, to say nothing of the individual specials in between, Auto Motor und Sport says that the Sang Bleu edition of the Grand Sport which Bugatti unveiled at this past weekend's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance will be the last special edition Veyron that Molsheim will build. With a reported 250 out of the 300 Veyrons initially earmarked for production now built and sold, Bugatti's moving on to its next project, tentatively dubbed Bordeaux. At which point the whole shpeil will presumably start all over again."

They like the confident boys. And the bad boys do appear confident most of the time. That and the fact that the girls like to torture their parents from time to time. And the quickest way to do that? Well, I think we all know....
