An Approach to Algorithm Parallelisation - (USA)
The other day I came across the paper Parallelizing Complex Scans and Reductions lying on a colleague's desk. The first part of the paper discussed how to make a certain family of algorithms run faster on parallel machines and the second half of the paper went on to show how, with some work, the method could be stretched to a wider class of algorithm. What the authors seemed to miss was that the extra work really wasn't necessary and the methods of the first half apply, with no change, to the se

Book review: Polar launches its complete geography of Venezuela - (USA)
On occasion I run into an intellectual construct that truly excites me. During my last trip to Caracas I finally met what I had been waiting for long, a follow up to the paradigm setting "Diccionario de Historia de Venezuela" [DHV] (1). The new "Geo Venezuela" starts where DHV stops, with the historical maps of Venezuela to move then into the description of all that comprise the physical reality of Venezuela. It is not complete yet as only the first Volumes have been edited and published f

CLUB JACKET - (USA)
Featured: Club Jacket by Sanmar In the fashion world, colour-blocking is in. You might fret that you look ridiculous wearing a burnt-orange shirt and navy-blue pants, but you will find that designers are actually creating single-piece garments in literal blocks of stark colour contrasts. For the daring fashionista, choosing contrasting colours from opposite ends of the colour wheel can result in surprisingly appealing combinations. Here are the rules to the art of colour-blocking:

Qstarz BT-Q1000X Bluetooth GPS Travel Recorder X - (USA)
I remember a time when GPS was something of an item that was only found in the movies, or a product that only rich people could afford. These days though it’s everywhere, built into our cellphones and other gadgets, and units can be purchased very cheaply. The market for GPS products has exploded over the past few years to a point where most everyone can afford it and have access to it. GPS Devices can be used for many, many things, not just for navigation, though that is probably the most

Black Friday Shopping Survival Guide: Tips to Save Time & Money - (USA)
What is it about Black Friday? It’s actually not the biggest shopping day of the year; that honor goes to the Saturday before Christmas. But it’s the day that retailers are putting their best foot forward to get you to think of them and not their competitors. With the economy tanking, expect some pretty aggressive price cuts and be ready to take advantage of them. So here are your tips for surviving Black Friday 2008: 1. Make a plan!

Everybody reads the Terms of Service.. - (USA)
Just like buses on the high street in any town in the UK, you have to wait ages and then along come a bunch together, so it is with the Maps API TOS, which Google revised again today. Clearly section 11 was an area of concern to the community, it is the section that balances legally what you as a map user submit and how Google may use your content. MIckey on the Geo Developers Blog gives an excellent explantion of the thinking behind the changes to this section. I believe these changes improv

Netezza recently announced a new generation of data wareho use appliance called TwinFin . TwinFin’s clearest stated list price is “a little under $20,000 per terabyte of use r data,” which in my opinion immedia tely became the new industry reference point for discussing prices in the data warehouse appliance category . Vigorous discussion ensued, especially in the comment thread to the first of the two posts linked above. Her e’s some followup. Netezza should not have claimed a “10-15X pri

YOU REALLY WANT GOVERNMENT TO RUN HEALTH CARE? - (USA)
What happens if we get socialized health care, now promising, according to Obama, pain pills instead of actually fixing the problem, and we start rationing the pain pills? That’s happening in the UK right now!! You’ll love the acronym they use. So “1984!” The Government’s drug rationing watchdog says “therapeutic” injections of steroids, such as cortisone, which are used to reduce inflammation, should no longer be offered to patients suffering from persistent lower back pain when the cau
