The Amazing Falkirk Wheel
The Falkirk Wheel, a boat lift connecting two canals near Falkirk, Scotland is one hell of a tech dream!!
Thanks to Archimedes’ principle (floating objects displace their own weight), each water-filled caisson weighs the same amount.

Which Version of Vista is For You?
With a new version of windows arriving within the next six
months it is time to deciede which one is for you. Not to
worry there is only one…oops…EIGHT versions to choose
from. Takes Bill for allowing us to again spend more money
on something we really dont need.
Windows Starter 2007 – Vista without Aero, probably meant for developing nations.
Windows Vista Home Basic – Basic Windows Vista for your single PC fam, doesn’t sound like much going on here. Analagous to XP Home.
Windows Vista Home Basic N – European version of the same, but without Media Player (because of antitrust rulings against MS in the EU).
Windows Vista Home Premium – This is the one we’re all probably gonna own. It’s got Media Center functionality, Cable Card support, the whole home-media shebang.
Windows Vista Business – Think of it as XP Pro, but Vista.
Windows Vista Business N – Think of it as XP Pro, but Vista, but Euro.
Windows Vista Enterprise – Business version of Vista with numerous enterprise features, like Virtual PC, volume encryption, etc.
Windows Vista Ultimate – Love that name. This one does all of the above (and more); what else do you need to know? It’s ultimate Windows..
