Si comme moi vous avez eu des problemes dernierement avec kmix, cet article devrait vous interesser. Ca semble avoir regler les miens.

Regardless, I eventually figured a solution to the problem: Quit kmix. You may need to actually kill the program. Next move/delete/rename the folder ‘kmix’ in the folder ‘~/.kde/share/apps/. Restart kmix, and it will recreate a default ‘~/.kde/share/apps/kmix/’ folder with default settings.
nasa.gov: Comet Lovejoy Plunges into the Sun and Survives
Via: slashdot.org: Comet Lovejoy Plunges Into the Sun and Survives
“It’s absolutely astounding,” says Karl Battams of the Naval Research Lab in Washington DC. “I did not think the comet’s icy core was big enough to survive plunging through the several million degree solar corona for close to an hour, but Comet Lovejoy is still with us.”
The most dramatic footage so far comes from SDO, which saw the comet go in (movie) and then come back out again (movie).
Comet Lovejoy was discovered on Dec. 2, 2011, by amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy of Australia. Researchers quickly realized that the new find was a member of the Kreutz family of sungrazing comets. Named after the German astronomer Heinrich Kreutz, who first studied them, Kreutz sungrazers are fragments of a single giant comet that broke apart back in the 12th century (probably the Great Comet of 1106). Kreutz sungrazers are typically small (~10 meters wide) and numerous. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory sees one falling into the sun every few days.
Wolfram: Computable Document Format (CDF)
Launched by the Wolfram Group, the CDF standard is a computation-powered knowledge container—as everyday as a document, but as interactive as an app.
Adopting CDF gives ideas a broad communication pipeline—accelerating research, education, technical development, and progress.
Le “viewer” demande 684MB d’espace! On est loin d’adobe flash quand meme, ce qui explique qu’il est plus gourmand. Le rendu 3D me semble un peu ordinaire, mais l’idee pourrait interesser les matheux qui veulent partager des documents.
Our fantasy is that on any given road trip, you will be able to find a nerd stop somewhere along your route, or perhaps even plot out a nerd odyssey across the UK.
Et il y a maintenant beaucoup de liens en dehors du Royaume Uni.

The new programs, called Context-Free Grep and Hierarchical Diff, will provide the ability to parse blocks of data rather than single lines. For each new type of data structure, a vendor would provide a pattern library identifying the basic structure of the data, which the software would then use to “extract the constructs of interest from the document,” Weaver said.
Good Math, Bad Math: Yet Another Cantor Crank
The problem with the run-of-the-mill Cantor crank is that they never even try to actually address Cantor’s proof. They just say “look, here’s a mapping that works!”
So the entire disproof of their “refutation” of Cantor’s proof is… Cantor’s proof. They completely ignore the thing that they’re claiming to disprove.
Pas mal, n’est-ce pas? LOL 😉
