PUBLIC MARKS with search holes

Photographer Ryan Pyle traveled to Yongding county to document these unique rural Chinese dwellings, some of which house  up to 80 families and have gun holes for defense against bandits.

knowing that the cinema is empty might attract people who wants to have empty rooms. The business case is possible too.

About being ubiquitous, there are two types of things. Accessible data on things, accessible data on people, I love the first one, I'm very worried about the second one.

I like GPS, because it is a (low quality) broadcast location grid system. It doesn't locate you, you locate yourself on a grid.

On the opposite, cellphone towers location systems are tied to an id (mobile phone contracts), it identifies your location. Very bad.

I wish cellphone towers where only creating a grid of geolocation.

1. Mir Mine also called Mirny Mine was an open pit diamond mine located in Mirny, Eastern Siberia, Russia. The mine is 525 meters (1,720 ft) deep and has a diameter of 1,200 m (3,900 ft), and is the second largest excavated hole in the world, after Bingham Canyon Mine. The airspace above the mine is closed for helicopters because of a few incidents in which they were sucked in by the downward air flow.

A JavaScript library to support HTML5 in non-compliant browsers

Add. Bruce Lawson : Dean was showing his new JavaScript library that plugs the holes in browsers’ HTML 5 implementations. If a browser does do something natively, ther library does nothing; otherwise it fills that gap—so now you can have Web Forms with all browsers, canvas in IE. As a bonus, it’s all keyboard accessible, everything looks like native UI controls and it even inherits the native Windows themes. I’m looking forward to helping beta test this baby.

And they have snapped, accidentally, dozens of those carriers' lines, because even not-so-secret commercial lines sometimes don't show up on utility maps. Goguen, the utility manager, estimates that the rail project has already hit three dozen lines, sometimes doing no damage and other times grinding work to a halt or cutting power to retailers along Route 7. Even after extensively researching land records and maps and digging more than 600 test holes to determine utility locations, it's hard to avoid accidents on a project of such complexity and in such a busy place, he said.

Voilà ce qui se passe quand on fait de l'agile : ça sprinte, ça sprinte, et 3 ans après, il faut un démineur :-)

PIPEROID is a paper craft robot designed and produced in Japan. The robot is made out of just paper pipes with pre-drilled holes and marks to cut, fold, and connect the pipes without the need of glue or tape. All you need is a pair of scissors, and with minimal assembly you can bring your own PIPEROID to life!

Our planet is not at risk from the world's most powerful particle physics experiment, a report has concluded. The document addresses fears that the Large Hadron Collider is so energetic, it could have unforeseen consequences. Critics are worried that mini-black holes made at the soon-to-open facility on the French-Swiss border might threaten the Earth's very existence.

So they named a building after Bill Gates. Now the building is full of holes and needs lots of patching up.
