Wed, 14 May 2008 21:18:23 PDT
You probably know that implementation of various dashboards in business applications is rather new and popular trend.

...or, how to perform the most elementary null hypothesis significance tests. Roger Pielke has been saying some truly bizarre and nonsensical things recently. The pick of the bunch IMO is this post. The underlying question is: Are the models consistent with the observations over the last 8 years? So Roger takes the ensemble of model outputs (8 year trend as analysed in this RC post), and then plots some observational estimates (about which more later), which clearly lie well inside the 95% ran

The Cowboy’s Guide to Doing Business
Wed, 14 May 2008 22:52:57 PDT
The American cowboy has long been a source of myth and legend, stemming from the perception of the Old West. Their way of doing business is comparable to independent entrepreneurs who want to make in it the world and from their example there will be something to learn for your venture. Though movies have portrayed cowboys differently from what their real purpose is, what is common with the silver screen and with reality is that cowboys value personal honesty and integrity.

Evergreen Civil Engineering Field
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:11:37 PDT
It is admission time in India for undergraduate engineering courses now. If trends of the last year are taken to be an indication, the computer science and electronics branches of engineering are going to have maximum demand.

The economic implications of power
Wed, 14 May 2008 23:21:27 PDT
I was in a meeting with Cisco yesterday where they talked of the work they are doing with respect to greening the network in the data centre. Basically, they said, you can increase the efficiency of a data centre by decreasing the number of ports that each server uses. With virtualisation on the rise, that is apparently a big concern. The newest switches apparently take 10 watts of power on each side of the cable to run. Add that up over thousands of ports and you can see the point. Actually,
