https://digitalresearchtools.pbworks.com/w/page/17801672/FrontPage This wiki collects information about tools and resources that can help scholars (particularly in the humanities and social sciences) conduct research more efficiently or creatively. Whether you need software to help you manage citations, author a multimedia work, or analyze texts, Digital Research Tools will help you find what you're looking for. We provide a directory of tools organized by research activity, as well as reviews of select tools in which we not only describe the tool's features, but also explore how it might be employed most effectively by researchers. Check out the new version of Bamboo DiRT , developed by Quinn Dombrowski and Project Bamboo . Bamboo DiRT makes several improvements over the old DiRT, including the ability to browse by tags and add comments about tools. We are in the process of transitioning data from this wiki to Bamboo DiRT; no new information will be added here as of 1/9/2012.

Welcome to Museum Box , This site provides the tools for you to build up an argument or description of an event, person or historical period by placing items in a virtual box.

You can display anything from a text file to a movie. You can also view and comment on the museum boxes submitted by others. More... Thomas Clarkson

releases two new features, tackles Web browsers & application crashes | Soluto Blog

http://blog.soluto.com/2011/05/new-features-tackles-web-browsers-andapplication-crashes/ Today we are releasing a new major version. This is very exciting for us, as we move from only helping you out with your boot to helping you out with more PC frustrations. Our first new feature helps you lighten your web browser by disabling toolbars & add-ons that are riding on it. It has become very common for non-techie PC users to get bombarded with crappy toolbars and other add-ons installed by applications and websites that build on users’ inability to disable them. Even techie users get annoyed by that, either for themselves or for the people they support. Soluto now lets you see which toolbars & add-ons are installed, whether they are needed, and if they’re not, we help you to quickly remove them.

Blissful Quotes.

http://blissfulquotes.com/ We must each lead a way of life with self-awareness and compassion, to do as much as we can. Then, whatever happens we will have no regrets. There is nothing to practice. To know yourself, be yourself. To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that.

The Straight Dope: In 1776, why didn't soldiers use bows and arrows instead of muskets?

I watched a rerun of The Patriot over the weekend and was once again reminded of how absurd the "volley trading" European style of warfare was (at least to me). From what I understand, even the best-trained troops of the era could squeeze off only three or four inaccurate shots a minute. Given that the opposing armies were standing within 100 yards of each other and wore no protective armor, why didn't they use archers?

Battle of the Thumb Drive Linux Systems

These days, it only takes an increasingly-cheap USB thumb drive and a program like UNetbootin to create a portable Linux desktop you can run on any computer that can boot from a USB port. But check out the list of distributions UNetbootin can download and install—it's huge, and the names don't tell you much about which distro is best for on-the-go computing. Today we're detailing four no-install distributions—Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, Xubuntu, and Fedora—and helping you decide which might work for that spare thumb drive you've got lying around, or as just a part of your multi-gig monster stick. Read on for a four-way faceoff of bootable Linux systems. Note: All but one of the systems tested here were created with UNetbootin, available for Windows and Linux downloads, and using the latest version available that could boot from USB.
