I think I’ll be printing this out for my office. Could come in handy on occasion.
The MySQL cheat sheet is designed to act as a reminder and reference sheet, listing useful information about MySQL. It includes a list of the available functions in MySQL, as well as data types.

If you are a current AdSense publisher and your feed has more than 100 active subscribers, you may qualify for participation in AdSense for feeds (BETA).
You can now apply to take part in the Google Adsense-for-feeds program if your site matches their criteria (mine doesn’t). The ads-in-rss debate should be heating up real soon now.
At least they’ve outlined some pretty decent ‘best practices‘.
As with many promising technologies feeds haven’t quite hit the mainstream yet, nor are the business models entirely sorted out. Enter AdSense for feeds, launching today in beta. The idea is simple: advertisers have their ads placed in the most appropriate feed articles; publishers are paid for their original content; readers see relevant advertising – and in the long run, more quality feeds to choose from. Given the great flexibility that feeds can offer, it’s essential to get the modelright, especially so that readers are satisfied. Towards this end we have outlined what we believe are some best practices
NASA’s subvocal speech system: “
A bunch of scientists at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California are working on a way for people to talk without
making a sound or opening their mouths (we know you’re secretly going to miss all those people chattering away on their
cellies during movies and meals). Basically it’s a new subvocal speech system that uses sensors attached to the neck
that measure nerve signals used to control your vocal chords and other muscles used for speech. The sensors pick up the
activity of neurons which fire whether or not you’re actually verbalizing something, so essentially you can just think
what you want to say and the system will translate that into words. It’s all in the early prototype stages—so far the
system can only recognize about twenty words, and is just now being taught how to suss out vowels and consonants—but
they’re already figuring out how to get the technology onto cellphones and into firefighter gear and have successfully
tested with a person who lost the use of their larynx. So how long until someone builds a shotgun sensor that can read
your thoughts from 50 feet away?
