вот морозите ли вы овощи/ягоды .. ?
просто у нас получилось не очень удобно , порезанный полосками перец в пакете замёрз в огромный ледянной ком (((
кстати нашей кошке я заморозила её любимые арбузные корки )
Мы можем остановить это!
Наша цель: 1 000 000

Достучался до мониторилки UPS-а серверной стойки.
Входное напряжение - 171В вместо положенных 220.

Конечно, неработающие люминесцентные лампы в офисе и так подтверждали проседание, но я не думал, что все настолько паршиво. Недорогие бесперебойники, спасающие при скачках и кратковременных сбоях, тут совершенно бессильны.
Update: не, еще хуже бывает. Только что видел 159 вольт. Трындец, однако.

OSX has disgusting VM / management performance – once it’s started creating swapfiles, dynamically, it never lets them go and it manages them awfully badly.
My machine has been crawling for the past few days and nothing obvious is eating CPU. Remembering the existence of the Dtrace toolkit on OSX, I did:
sudo iosnoop
…and it instantly showed me that Firefox (which I was trying to shut down) and Skype (likewise) were hitting various swapfiles. I wasn’t expecting to get that information, so I was pleasantly surprised.
The overall diagnosis of the problem was pretty easy too:
du -kh /var/vm
…said I was using 4Gb of (probably rather fragmented) swapfile space.
A swift reboot and everything is OK again… for the moment… but I wonder whether I can create a OSX swap partition and use it preferentially to anything else, and I further wonder what else I can do to alleviate this.
Alas, OSX seems to be heading down towards where Windows used to be.

Вчера вечером руководство города и метрополитена приняло предварительное решение о переименовании станции в “Казахстанскую”. Напомним, что нынешнее название станции — напоминание о находившейся здесь деревне Мякинино. Ранее также предлагалось назвать станцию “Мякининской”.
По информации “МК”, специализированное предприятие, изготавливавшее многие детали для оформления станций подземки, уже получило задание на изготовление букв нового названия. По некоторым данным, переименование станет своего рода подарком российских властей Казахстану, 16 декабря отметившему День независимости.

Ну не пиздец ли?
Никаких проблем не возникло -- ( а бывает )

Two mice. One weighs 20 grams and has brown fur. The other is a hefty 60 grams with yellow fur and is prone to diabetes and cancer. They're identical twins, with identical DNA. Their varying traits are controlled by a mediator between nature and nurture known as epigenetics. A group of molecules that sit atop our DNA, the epigenome (which means "above the genome") tells genes when to turn on and off.
The mother of the brown, thin mouse was given a dietary supplement of folic acid, vitamin B12 and other nutrients while pregnant, and the mother of the obese mouse was not. (Though the mice had different mothers, they're genetically identical as a result of inbreeding.) The supplement "turned off" the agouti gene, which gives mice yellow coats and insatiable appetites.
Last year, the National Institutes of Health announced that it would invest $190 million to accelerate epigenetic research. The list of illnesses to be studied in the resulting grants reveals the scope of the emerging field: cancer, Alzheimer's disease, autism, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, asthma, kidney disease, glaucoma, muscular dystrophy and more.
Methylation-modifying drugs might be a new avenue for treatments. He also hopes that his findings will provide a new tool for doctors to diagnose autism.
"Methylation has been very hot in the cancer field for a number of years," Gregory says. "To find something like this associated with autism is very exciting."
Epigenetic therapy is still very inexact -- "a pretty broad brush," says Jirtle. But oncologists have seen some success in using it against leukemia. Azacitidine, sold as Vidaza and used to treat bone-marrow cancer and blood disorders, became the first FDA-approved epigenetic drug in 2004. When tumor-suppressing genes aren't doing their job, due to a genetic mutation or hypermethylation, cancer cells can replicate uncontrollably. But by manipulating the epigenetic marks, doctors can get tumor-suppressing genes to work again. Toxicologists also have a big stake in epigenetics. A 2005 study by Washington State University molecular biologist Michael Skinner generated buzz with his finding that when a pregnant rat was exposed to high doses of pesticides, her offspring plus the next three generations suffered from high rates of infertility. (Some scientists have challenged Skinner's work because they have not been able to reproduce his results in their labs.)
The potential human implications -- do the chemicals we ingest today affect our great-grandchildren? -- are tremendous. In addition to pesticides, toxicologists are studying chemicals in plastics, such as phthalates and bisphenol A, to see if they could enhance our risk of disease by altering the epigenome.

Invetech, an innovator in new product development and custom automation for the biomedical, industrial and consumer markets, Dec 1, 2009 announced that it has delivered the world`s first production model 3D bio-printer to Organovo, developers of the proprietary NovoGen bioprinting technology. Organovo will supply the units to research institutions investigating human tissue repair and organ replacement.
Invetech plan to ship a number of 3D bio-printers to Organovo during 2010 and 2011 as a part of the instrument development program. Organovo will be placing the printers globally with researchers in centers of excellence for medical research.
“Scientists and engineers can use the 3D bio printers to enable placing cells of almost any type into a desired pattern in 3D,” said Murphy. “Researchers can place liver cells on a preformed scaffold, support kidney cells with a co-printed scaffold, or form adjacent layers of epithelial and stromal soft tissue that grow into a mature tooth. Ultimately the idea would be for surgeons to have tissue on demand for various uses, and the best way to do that is get a number of bio-printers into the hands of researchers and give them the ability to make three dimensional tissues on demand.”
The 3D bio-printers include an intuitive software interface that allows engineers to build a model of the tissue construct before the printer commences the physical constructions of the organs cell-by-cell using automated, laser-calibrated print heads.
The printer, developed by Invetech, fits inside a standard biosafety cabinet for sterile use. It includes two print heads, one for placing human cells, and the other for placing a hydrogel, scaffold, or support matrix. One of the most complex challenges in the development of the printer was being able to repeatedly position the capillary tip, attached to the print head, to within microns. This was essential to ensure that the cells are placed in exactly the right position. Invetech developed a computer controlled, laser-based calibration system to achieve the required repeatability.
Pembina, with an estimated 7.8 billion barrels of original oil in place, is Canada's largest conventional onshore oilfield. Despite extensive secondary recovery through waterfloods, less than 1.4 billion barrels has been produced. The scale of the remaining prize continues to draw plenty of interest
The new Cardium oil play in Alberta is rapidly approaching the stature of Saskatchewan’s famous Bakken play.
Both the Bakken and the Cardium are “tight” or “unconventional” plays, where the oil is hosted in a rock, as opposed to a more porous, and usual sand formation.
They were well known but uneconomic zones until a few years ago, when advancements in horizontal drilling and fracing technologies allowed them to be exploited. The Bakken is ranked by most Canadian analysts as the most profitable oil play in the country now, with Cardium as #2.
With the Cardium in particular, there is very little geological risk. It has been drilled through thousands of times to get to the oil in the more porous, productive zone below it. The market loves these low risk plays that are very “repeatable” – each new well is likely to produce just as the one before it.
Thirdly, these new technologies are continually improving the economics in these formations. Four years later, companies are still increasing production from Bakken wells, and increasing the overall amount of oil recovered from the formations. The Cardium is a younger play, only a year old, and as management teams tweak the way they drill and frac these wells, it may one day get even closer to Bakken economics.
The Viking oil play in Southwest Saskatchewan stands at approximately 6 billion barrels, implying that the play is second only to the Cardium in OOIP among non-oil sands resources. Similar to the Cardium, the Viking is a legacy oil pool that has been developed since the 1950s with older technology, and that now stands to be rejuvenated by virtue of advancements in horizontal multi-stage fraccing techniques.
Mid-Continent shale may have as much as 500 billion barrels of oil. Bakken Shale oil production alone may reach 500,000 barrels per day in 2011. The Three Forks is rumored to contain just as much oil as the Bakken.
