Google: Making Ajax Content Crawlable
by Samuel Waithaka 09 Oct '09

Without having to figure out a long way of doing it - like using a script that will check if agent is a bot and redirect, and not being sure if you'll get into trouble with Google for it, I this must be a good relief. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/10/proposal-for-making-ajax… -- Samuel Waithaka http://www.linkedin.com/in/waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

LCROSS - Lunar impact in approx 3.5hrs
by Lmwangi 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, In 3.5 hours LCROSS will be causing a big impact and creating a crater, throwing tons of debris and potentially water ice and vapor above the lunar surface. This impact will release materials from the lunar surface that will be analyzed for the presence of hydrated minerals which would tell researchers if water is there or not. http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/ http://www.itworld.com/offbeat/80305/front-row-seats-nasas-lunar-impact Feeds - http://www.slooh.com/special_feed.php - mplayer/vlc nasa tv real player stream: http://www.nasa.gov/ram/35037main_portal.ram Social networks - http://twitter.com/Lcross_Nasa - http://www.facebook.com/pages/LCROSS-Lunar-Impactor-Mission/154478180006 Software - http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/spacecraft.php for celestia On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 2:26 PM, Sammy Njoroge <smmynjoroge(a)gmail.com> wrote: > This is a bit off topic but in the interests of science and common > knowledge i just had to post it. > Most of us have heard/seen of the guy at the equator on the Nanyuki-Nairobi > highway showing the 'power' of Coriolis force (clockwise cyclones in the > south hemisphere and vice versa thanks to the earth's rotation).
