... With autofs, you do not get (or even have the option of getting) browsable icons for the mount point of each automount map. ... The more major problem is that after going to one of those mount points by hand (command-shift-g), you can see a nice list of mountable directories (yay!), but when you click on them they don't mount; instead you get an error message. ... If the user has a hard drive they'll know about it, and look for it in a directory full of mounted volumes. ...

Disastrous earthquakes happen 100 to 200 times a year. ... There is a chance that the data of ionospheric plasma observations hold an answer to the latter question. Satellites and ground-based facilities may detect earthquake precursors in the ionosphere a few hours or days before the main shock. ... ULF "Hz"-oscillations have been recorded several hours before the main shock in a narrow magnetic field tube (40...100 km along the satellite trajectory) conjugated with epicenter of the earthquake. ...

The 6th INTEGRAL Workshop . The Obscured Universe . ... The main goal of this workshop is to consider (via invited and contributed talks and posters) the scientific problems in the field of high energy astrophysics which are possible to solve using the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory INTEGRAL as well as to present and discuss the scientific results already obtained by this observatory and its coordinated observations with on-ground telescopes and other spacecrafts. ...

... If the star names used in data files are not exactly the same character strings as those used in star files, the reduction program will try to make cross-identifications. ... The program applies these rules in attempting to parse name strings containing multiple designations that are not separated by the `` = '' string (surrounded by blanks). ... This situation can be avoided by making sure that all star names are spelled consistently, and that names in star files agree with names in data files. ...

... Despite the use of counterweights, I have had ongoing problems with preventing unwanted motion in altitude, particularly during star parties when everyone seems to want to lean on the telescope while observing. ... After some difficulties at a windy star party a few years ago at the Boston Museum of Science, I designed a simple and very effective altitude brake and slow motion control which can be assembled very quickly and at minimal cost. ...
