beaucoup d'idées (et d'horreurs !) des années 70...
The following is a highlight of a competitive analysis I did earlier this year when I was involved in designing software that would allow remote research teams to work together. While software is still a long way from replacing all in-person collaboration it's becoming easier for remote or mobile workers to stay productive and communicative with their team. Certainly the tools we have available today are a vast improvement over what I used when I first tried telecommuting 12 years ago!
Fuji has introduced its award-winning EXR technology into the FinePix F70 EXR, giving a significant improvement in image quality against other models.
I can’t think of a single change that isn’t an improvement over 10.5.
Moi j'en vois un : Snow Leopard ne s'installe pas sur mon Mac.

(SENS)- A practical way to cure human aging - Website of Dr. Aubrey de Grey "SENS Foundation was founded to develop, promote and ensure widespread access to regenerative medicine solutions to the disabilities and diseases of aging. We shall be focusing on the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) identified by our Chief Science Officer, Dr Aubrey de Grey, and combining direct research efforts with education, affiliation and outreach programs." "A key aspect of SENS is its potential to extend healthy lifespan without limit, even with repair processes which remain imperfect, as the repair only needs to approach perfection rapidly enough to keep the overall level of damage below pathogenic levels. Aubrey has termed this required rate of improvement of repair therapies, "longevity escape velocity"."
The resource requirements in manpower and services in the Park include additional ranger personnel and their training, the creation of a documentation centre on the island itself, and improvement of signage and visitor facilities. The new management plan currently being prepared with the active support of the world Monuments Fund will make a substantial contribution to the improvement of the present situation, it is recommended that this should be submitted to the world Heritage Committee for comment by the secretariat and by ICOMOS as soon as it is completed.
I’ve made another improvement to the comments system, and this time I think it’s pretty innovative (well, I think the last one was as well, but I do like this one). This only works 100% correctly in Mozilla, and I’m not sure why. IE and Opera get 90% of the way there, and that’ll do until I figure out what the problem is. Anyway, on to the idea…
This plugin is an improvement to the original iFixPng plugin. It may use some more resources and work slower, but there are some important improvements: * The image or element with a background image doesn't have to be visible. * background-position is now supported, including an IE absolute position fix.

FROM BARACK OBAMA'S WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER: Jill and Joe Biden traveled together throughout the lush state of Pennsylvania yesterday, speaking to audiences at the Ironworkers Local 401 in Philadelphia and Maple Point Middle School in Langhorne. Jill introduced her husband by describing how the two met. She said Joe always supported her dreams and encouraged her to get a doctorate in education. Today, Jill works as a community college professor and passionately supports the improvement of the education system. She talks about how thrilled she is that the teachers of America will finally have strong leadership under the Obama-Biden Administration. She said:I think we make a great team -- both our families -- the Bidens and the Obamas. I hope that your families will join our team as well.Please enjoy this video of Jill describing her husband and hero, Joe Biden. Sharon Barnes En route to Wilmington, Delaware
Myth 1: Is all in the genes On of the largest misconceptions about a good memory is that you are born with it. Most people don't believe that they can significantly improve their memory. It is not in their reality that they could be able to memori...

Try this: When viewing a movie on YouTube, add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL. In addition to slight video improvement, you should also notice increased audio quality. Notice I use the word “slight.” I hope YouTube goes further than this humble baby step towards something more like Vimeo’s level of quality. There’s also a Firefox extension that supports higher-quality YouTube playback (among a list of other enhancements).

High Performance Web Sites: The Importance of Front-End Performance In 2004, I started the Exceptional Performance group at Yahoo!. We're a small team chartered to measure and improve the performance of Yahoo!'s products. Having worked as a back-end engineer most of my career, I approached this as I would a code optimization project - I profiled web performance to identify where there was the greatest opportunity for improvement. Since our goal is to improve the end-user experience, I measured response times in a browser over various bandwidth speeds. What I saw is illustrated in the following chart showing HTTP traffic for http://www.yahoo.com.

"...song clips of obscurities and lost treasures from vinyl records, representing a sampling of some of the great forgotten music of the new wave era, in my opinion. These clips are long enough to hear the verse and chorus—a vast improvement over the standard 30-seconds-or-less snippets offered by most online music stores."
]]>I have replaced an old Athlon 64 X2 4200+ at 2.2GHz with the 6400+ in a Windows Vista desktop PC machine featuring the Asus M2N-E SLI motherboard, 2GB of 800MHz DDR2 memory, the Asus EAH3850 512MB video card, and a Cooler Master 620W power supply. The performance improvement after this upgrade is significant and goes up to 46 percent in some tests.
