Trees Near You helps you learn about more than 500,000 trees that live on New York City sidewalks. For any area of the city, from block to borough, you can see the different species that live there, and measure the environmental (and monetary!) benefits that these trees provide.

National Geographic sent Nichols to spend an entire year in California's redwood forest. His mission was to capture the majesty of some of the tallest trees on Earth, some of which date back before Christ. And if you've ever photographed in a forest, you'll understand the challenge this presented. There's no capturing the awe one feels before these monoliths that measure, in some cases, upward of 300 feet.

A lot of excellent ideas on how to start a service ad measure its success.
Of course I'm flipping out in our Editor's chat about the fact that Alejandro "The Holy Mountain" Jodorowsky collaborated with Jean "Mœbius" Giraud, H.R. Giger, and Pink Floyd to adapt Frank Herbert's Dune into a film in 1975 — a project that never took off due to funding issues — when Rob, cultured beyond American measure, casually coughs that me not knowing about it is impossible, simply because it is too awesome not to be known.
Yet, I did not know!
Collaborative online translator - many language supported Get a better translation with 162.104.568 human contributions. MyMemory supports on-the-fly creation of customized memories for specific jobs: just upload the files and download a made-to-measure memory that may be opened with any CAT tool. Users can also upload memories to back them up, or to consolidate multiple memories into a single, searchable reference resource. These features are even available without publicly sharing uploaded memories, although this practice is encouraged wherever legally possi

This is the new web. It has changed from being a place that you visit, to a place where you are. And it is no longer relevant to measure traffic + referrers. Instead you want to measure influence + communication + reaction.
Siege is an http regression testing and benchmarking utility. It was designed to let web developers measure the performance of their code under duress, to see how it will stand up to load on the internet. Siege supports basic authentication, cookies, HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It allows the user hit a web server with a configurable number of concurrent simulated users. Those users place the webserver "under siege."
Skinnyboard is web-based software that helps agile project teams collaborate to get work done. It provides project boards of virtual index cards that you use to assign work, track status, and measure performance.

This year will see the implementation of a new piece of American legislation developed by the Department of Homeland Security called the Secure Flight Program (SFP). The bill contains at least one measure that has raised the ire of many Canadian civil liberties organisations; airlines must provide the United States’ Transportation Security Administration with such personal information as a passenger’s passport and travel itinerary three days before any flight goes through American airspace. All information gathered is subsequently cross-referenced against lists of suspected terrorists and criminals.
It was shown that for best results all the elements have to be included in the classification process. The exact way of combining the significance indicators turned out not to be overly important: using the F1 measure, the best combination of significance indicators yielded no more than 3 % higher performance results than the baseline.

ABOUT MX LOOKUP This test will list MX records for a domain in priority order. The MX lookup is done directly against the domain's authoritative name server, so changes to MX Records should show up instantly. You can click Diagnostics, which will connect to the mail server, verify reverse DNS records, perform a simple Open Relay check and measure response time performance. You may also check each MX record (IP Address) against 147 DNS based blacklists. (Commonly called RBLs, DNSBLs)
an interesting review of hash functions and their performance over different sets of keys. Note that he measure the actual time for hashing + scanning through a collision list rather than just counting the numbers of collisions.
We can monitor your website and servers and let you know right away when anything goes wrong. Get the facts and stay on top of things with Pingdom.
The behavior of air bubbles in ordinary breakfast syrup demonstrates how scientists might be able to make vanishingly thin tubes and fibers for biomedical and other applications. Previous experiments conducted in Professor Sidney Nagel’s laboratory showed how to make liquid threads that measure only 10 microns in diameter (approximately one-fifth the diameter of a human hair)
When tuning a site's performance, a system administrator needs certain tools to measure and monitor how the site is doing under increasing load, as well as identify where bottlenecks may be. Linux system performance monitoring tools On Linux, there are several tools available to you to do this. We describe what we have found as the most helpful in this section.
