I don't have to use the command line that much in Windows, but I have been known to use some batch and kixtart scripting from time to time. What I wasn't aware of, though, was the SUBST command. It gives you a nice way to map a deep folder on your PC as its own drive letter. There is a catch, but it's still handy if you refer to a folder from the command line a lot. If you're a mouse junky, it's

A fragment of a bomb lance from the late 1800s was found embedded in the neck of a bowhead whale hunted near Alaska. This gives the creature an estimated age of 115 to 130, and some say they can live to 200. I wonder how many times this one contested with whalers over the years.

My how we like to anthropomorphize things. The headline for this article reads "In space, scientists can hear the sun scream." It's talking about an observation that solar storms produce radiation in the audible frequency spectrum. It's actually pretty cool. I find it amusing, though, that we (and I'm as guilty as anyone here) like to personify so many things. It's too bad they didn't include an

How much would you pay for a keyboard? Personally, I'm only in for about $30 if it has a ton of features, and I'm happy to use the $10 special. But of you're technologically insane and you like throwing away money, there is a keyboard out there for you. For just over $1500 - that's right, $1.5K - you can get the Optimus Maximus. You can fully customize the layout of this keyboard, create custom

There is talk of a Russian company wanting to build a tunnel connecting Russia and Alaska under the Bering Strait. It would be over twice the length of the tunnel connecting France and England. All the talk has to do with business: shipping oil, transporting natural gas, and hydroelectric power. Here’s something else to think about, though.
