An article on the making of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
I was having a hard time downloading a 250 MB file of photos from the Jamaica Missionaries of the Poor visit. Internet Explorer and Firebird would repeatedly time out.
This handy utility did the trick. It somehow breaks up the source file into multiple pieces and starts working on each piece simultaneously. I think the key is, it keeps working, and doesn't time out.
Good for on-screen help text, copyrights, and legal text...
This article is about NASA ordering special mechanical watches to be used by the team working with the rovers. Everything they do now is tied to a Marsian day, which has 39 more minutes than ours.

This is a short article about how a guy hacked a friend's web server (at the friend's request.) Seems too easy.
I don't know anyone who will read this, but still...
