    Well, with these huge numerical simulation you're never sure of anything... Anyway the idea sounds quite convincing and simple.

    is this really worth a nature paper??
  • Luzi Bergamin on 19 Jan 10
     
    Funny to read this question exactly from you, the all and ever fan of anything linked to bio :-) I have read worse papers in nature and in addition it's just "Nature physics", viz. "Nature garbage." Could be that they don't find enough really good stuff to publish in all their topical clones of Nature.

    Cool, lots of useful info in there. Though, never having programmed in Java before, I wonder if one can go that low-level in Java?

    oh I don't think so but it is interesting for the JVM I guess

    It's installed on my computer, but I never really used it. I think it's fine, but for my purposes latexdiff mostly is enough.
  • LeopoldS on 25 Jan 10
     
    I assume that you use latexdiff from the command line ... still have to find a nice script with which to integrate it into the TexShop GUI for Karène ...
  • Luzi Bergamin on 25 Jan 10
     
    A command line is an interface as well. I was able to explain via phone to a (computer-wise) avarage undereducated Mac-user how to install and run latexdiff. Thus I think also Karene can use it...

    what is great exactly ? No human beings will put a foot on the Moon, or Mars, in the next 22 yrs and more ... what an awful waste!
  • Francesco Biscani on 01 Feb 10
     
    Well, the constellation program was a waste of money in its current form, overrun by delays and insufficient budget. We would have had Apollo 2.0 sixty years later, for what? At least now they are talking about going to asteroids, martian moons and stuff like that.
  • Joris _ on 01 Feb 10
     
    I agree that Constellation was a mistake. It is though a pity that now human Mars missions would certainly happen even later than initially hoped.

    The good news for Microsoft is that all the PCs powering the Olympics are running Windows. The bad news: it's the older Windows XP operating system.
