Beautiful! “300 Miles High is a collection of one hundred of the best photographs of our planet taken from the vantage point of a typical Space Shuttle orbit — about 300 miles above the Earth’s surface. To give credit where it is due, all these images come from NASA, which allows free reproduction for non-profit enterprises. Further credit goes to the many astronauts who actually framed and photographed many of these amazing images. Some were taken remotely, others by automatic cameras mounted on the Shuttle or the International Space Station.”

“[Harry] Hochheiser’s TimeFinder software has a visual interface that lets users manipulate simple graphical tools to query huge databases and then lets them see the results represented on a graph. One mouse click replaces the typing of multiple parameters, reducing procedure time and the chance of introducing errors.”

“Since people have been wondering about these terms, I thought I’d try to help with those I know. Special words pertaining to letters, fonts, and the like, then. I’ve included Swedish terms for some words as they may be of direct use for those who do other Scandinavian languages, and they might even be of some aid to those working in other languages… This is for the internal use within a project at Lingsoft, but I have made it world-readable in the hope that it could be useful for other people as well. No guarantees, your mileage may vary, hope this helps. Just disregard anything that seems to relate directly to our translation procedures.”
