The main Problems with the current model of the sun are as follows:

* Temperature of the halo-like corona is 300 times that of surface, violating the inverse square law for radiation
* Rotates faster at equator, faster on surface
* Solar wind accelerates (somehow) upon leaving the Sun
* Sunspots reveal cooler interior
* Sunspots travel faster than surrounding surface
* Sunspot penumbra (interior walls) reveal structured filaments and move much faster than slow convection should allow

An eletcrical model would solve many of these problems.

I'm sitting the garden of my local, awaiting the arrival of Anneliese and little Oscar. Surrounded by members of the local Running Club. Also members of the local Cricket club. It's 'fairly' busy...

Anyway... the end of a long day, and that sunset I mentioned on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/RiddlerMusic ). I'd like to get them home, gimp them up (crop, colour balance etc) but this is a great excuse not to talk to sweaty people ;).  Actually, not something I'd normally avoid...

Too strange. Back to the Pint.

hope you enjoy this series of desktop background wallpapers.
 
these images are created for a 1.6:1 aspect ratio. the image resolution is 2560x1600, use a setting such as center or fit if you are using a different resolution. this series is comprised of images i like and personally use as my desktop backgrounds.

Get a whole pineapple and carve it with your friends; enjoy.

Shoot silly string at EVERYTHING.

Swim at night.

Go to the drive-in.  Bring dinner.  Eat.  Play hacky sack while waiting for the movie to start.

Play tennis.

Mini road trip!  (Go to a place approx. 2 hours away for lunch/dinner)

Canoe down a river.

Squirt gun fight at the beach (so you don't have to waste water).

Watch as many movies as possible in one sitting.

Blow bubbles.

Make your own exotic fruit smoothies.

Invent a drink.

Build a boat.

Skitch.

Rent something awesome.

Sleep outside by a fire.

Moon the moon.

Find out when the earliest sunrise is in your area; get up and watch it.

Repeat for latest sunset.

Have stupid contests (who can swallow loudest, who can get their stomach to growel first, who can touch the most things at the store).

Relax.

 基調講演のデモンストレーションを通して眺めてみると、サンがクラウドで提供しようとしているものが単なるリソースではなく、むしろ「ITシステム」であることが分かる。Amazon EC2がインスタンス指向、Google App EngineやSalesforce.comがアプリケーション指向であるとするなら、Sun Cloudはシステム指向と言えそうだ。

 もう1つはDTraceによるネットワークパフォーマンスのプロファイリングが容易になることだ。これまでにもDTraceによるCPUや各アプリケーションのパフォーマンスのプロファイリングが可能だったが、Crossbowが入ったことで、OpenSolarisではCIFS、NFS、FTPなどプロトコルレベルでのパフォーマンス監視が容易になるという。Webアプリケーションでは、多数のサーバ、多数のアプリケーションが分散して走ることが多いが、そうした場合でも、ボトルネックが言語処理系なのかネットワークなのか、ディスクI/Oなのか、といったことが容易に把握できるという。

 さらに、ZFSが2008年秋にSSDに対応した点も見逃せない。SSD対応は単に使えるようになったというだけではない。OSから見たメインメモリとキャッシュメモリの関係のように、ファイルシステムでシームレスに統合されている。このため、ボトルネックがI/OにあればSSDをストレージプールに追加し、容量が足りなくなればハードディスクを足すという柔軟な運用が可能だ。
