My thoughts go to the victims of the tsunami on 26th of December 2004.
I urge all readers to support the victims in any way possible, also I want to wish you all a happy new year (under the circumstances).
Slashdot reader blamanj writes “Mars Rover Opportunity, a few meters shy of the 2km mark on its odometer, has come across the remains of the heat shield from its landing. This map traces the path of the rover for the past 11 months. It’s been averaging about 6 meters/sol. Spirit, which had to stop to dislodge a rock, is still climbing the “Columbia Hills”. It’s tough going, and Spirit experiences slippage of up to 80% as it climbs the hills.”
Slashdot reader karvind writes “Researchers at Stanford have demonstrated multi-thousand frame-per-second (fps) video using a dense array of cheap 30fps CMOS image sensors. A benefit of using a camera array to capture high speed video is that we can scale
to higher speeds by simply adding more cameras. Even at extremely high frame rates, our array architecture supports continuous streaming to disk from all of the cameras. Now we know where to use 100TB tape drives and what to expect in the next sci-fi movie.”
