It is built on Paul Mutton's PircBot Java-based Framework. mobibot is making extensive use of various open source libraries, including: * Commons CLI * Commons HTTPClient * Commons Logging * Commons Net * delicious-java * Google Tag Library * JWeather * MathEvaluator * Rome * Apache XML-RPC * Twitter4J mobibot was written by Erik C. Thauvin as a replacement for the channel's original ChumpBot. Features mobibot's main functionality is to capture URLs posted on the channel. The URLs are automatically gathered into a publishable RSS feed. Other features include: * Performing calculations * Converting between currencies * Rolling dice * Performing Google searches * Displaying the latest entries on Mobitopia * Performing DNS lookups * Recapping public channel messages * Performing Google spelling queries * Retrieving stock quotes * Displaying the time in various time zones * Listing the users on the channel * Displaying weather information * Posting to Jaiku's #mobitopia channel * Posting to Twitter Some of the internal features include RSS feed backlogs, rolling logs, debugging toggle and much more. If you have any feature suggestions, please post them to the mobibot wiki.

  • astronauts can say they've been to space after only passing the 50-mile (80-kilometer) mark
  • space industry is also a somewhat arbitrary 62 miles (100 kilometers)
  • United States, however, has never officially adopted a set boundary standard
  • overflight rights of satellites and other orbiting bodies

  • shuttle switches from steering with thrusters to maneuvering with air surfaces
  • 13 million miles (21 million kilometers)
  • the boundary where Earth's gravity is no longer dominant
  • Supra-Thermal Ion Imager
  • tracking the relatively gentle winds of Earth's atmosphere and the more violent flows of charged particles in space
  • difficult to make measurements in this region, which is too high for balloons and too low for satellites
  • second time that direct measurements of charged particle flows have been made in this region
  • first time all the ingredients – such as the upper atmospheric winds – have been included
  • David Knudsen of the University of Calgary
  • carried by the JOULE-II rocket on Jan. 19, 2007
  • an altitude of about 124 miles (200 kilometers) above sea level and collected data for the five minutes it was moving through the "edge of space."
  • Journal of Geophysical Research on April 7
  • space weather and its impacts on Earth
  • calculate energy flows into the Earth's atmosphere that ultimately may be able to help us understand the interaction between space and our environment
  • link between sunspots and the warming and cooling of the Earth's climate
  • how space weather impacts satellites, communications, navigation, and power systems
