Cassini's Primary Mission Ends, Two-Year Extension Begins

wooferhound points out recent news that the Cassini probe has completed its original four-year mission and is beginning a two-year extended mission, which was authorized earlier this year.

The new mission will target two of those moons in particular for further study: Titan and Enceladus. Quoting: "The spacecraft is extremely healthy and carries 12 instruments powered by three radioisotope thermoelectric generators. Data from Cassini's nominal and extended missions could lay the groundwork for possible future missions to Saturn, Titan or Enceladus. [The two moons] are primary targets in the two-year extended mission, dubbed the Cassini Equinox Mission.

Old warhorses look to shine

India begin their three-Test series at a venue where they have suffered their worst loss against Sri Lanka; the last time these two sides played at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo, India were trounced by an innings and 77 runs. Sri Lanka have won just three of their 26 Tests against India but won the previous home series against the same opponents 2-1.

Electronic Arts to end US$2B hostile bid for Take-Two, start friendly talks instead

Electronic Arts Inc. said yesterday it will drop its hostile US$2-billion bid for rival video-game publisher Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and instead pursue private talks with the company that created the popular Grand Theft Auto series and other video games. While shares of Take-Two fell 4% on the spectre that EA might walk away, or come back with a lower bid, analysts said a deal was more probable now that friendly talks were in the offing. EA, maker of Rock Band, Madden and other games, said yesterday John Riccitiello, its chief executive, and Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two executive chairman, held talks over the weekend. "I think Take-Two ... is going to negotiate a dollar [per share] higher and then claim victory," said Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter.

Real-time Linux in real time

The increasing market demand for systems characterized by low-latency, deterministic behavior and the emphasis on the use of commodity hardware and software have led to a new breed of real-time operating systems (OSs), known as enterprise real-time OSs. In response to the demand for accelerated access to such features in a Linuxâ„¢ kernel, the IBM Linux and Javaâ„¢ Technology Centers collaborated to provide the first commercially available enterprise real-time Linux kernel with real-time Java support.

Tracking time

I am often asked about how to track time for freelance projects - this is especially important if you bill by the hour or only have a limited amount of time to provide for a project. I just learned about a system called My Intervals that tries to solve both project management and time tracking in one online application. It looks really easy to use. You just set up a task and then click on the start button to start tracking the time. When you're done you click stop and it adds that time into your time sheet and project time list. The part I tend to forget is the "turning off" part of that process, but if you train yourself, I'm sure this would become a very valuable tool. What time tracking software do you use?
