Floating Cities On Venus

Geoffrey.landis writes "Some of you may have heard me talk about colonizing Venus. Well, for those who haven't, Universe Today is running story about floating cities on Venus. It's a reasonable alternative for space colonies — after all, the atmosphere of Venus (at about 50 km) is the most Earth-like environment in the solar system (other than Earth, of course). '50 km above the surface, Venus has air pressure of approximately 1 bar and temperatures in the 0C-50C range, a quite comfortable environment for humans. Humans wouldn't require pressurized suits when outside, but it wouldn't quite be a shirtsleeves environment. We'd need air to breathe and protection from the sulfuric acid in the atmosphere.'"

Doorstep Astronomy: Venus Shines Bright

Currently, the planet Venus is visible, albeit very low in the western evening sky right after sundown. Those with obstructions such as trees or buildings toward the west may not be able to see Venus yet, thanks to its low altitude. But this current evening apparition of Venus is going to evolve into a very good one in the coming days and weeks, so let's get into a fuller explanation of what is to come.

If Life Exists on Venus, Could it be Blown to Earth?

We've heard about the possibility of extraterrestrial life arriving on Earth from another planet, asteroid or comet, but the mode of transport usually includes a chunk of rock falling through the atmosphere as a meteorite. But there could be another form of interplanetary transportation. What if there are microbial forms of alien life floating in the upper atmosphere of Venus (the planet's clouds contain compounds that could indicate presence of micro organisms)? Could they make the trip to Earth? Apparently it is possible, if Earth and Venus are correctly aligned, the solar wind may carry microbes from the upstream Venus to downstream Earth in a matter of days…

dell x5 & linux

There might be a way to get linux on the axim. I have been searching for a few weeks and the best that I can come up with is using an X86 emulator to run DSL or Pupply linux. I was trying to get this to work on an hp ppc of mine but it looks like the compiled emulators may work on the axim's cpu and not the hp. So I have yet to test this. I do know that the same emulators have been ported to the Sony PSP. Users of this system have been able to run Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Puppy and DSL. This is the link to the PPC X86 emulators Mamaich home page. There is another option offered here Handhelds.org - Linux on Dell Axim X5. That option is to run a port of linux within the axim's default O/S. It only seems to run for about 15 min. before forcing the user to hard reset the device.
