Como odio tener que usar IE. Normalmente uso en mi casa mozilla Firefox, pero cuando entro a un cafe internet y tengo que usar IE es un infierno. No puedo creer lo dificil que se vuelven ciertas cosas... como postear en Wordpress... los videos(generalmente de youtube) que voy a pegar se ponen hasta el principio y hay que moverlos.

¿Cuál escogerías?

Si aún sigues usando Internet Explorer de Microsoft por favor quítate la vida o deja que una jauría de perros hambrientos te despellejen hasta lamer tus huesos.

Firefox 3 es un navegador excelente (lo estoy usando ahora mismo, los usuarios de Ubuntu contamos con la actualización estable hace varios días). Firefox es seguro, bien diseñado, intuitivo, sólido, compatible, configurable… Si usas Opera o Safari quizá podríamos discutir, pero si navegas desde Internet Explorer simplemente no sabes de lo que te estás perdiendo. Si no te pasas a Linux por flojera o incompatibilidad y no te pasas a Open Office porque tiene fallas, no tienes excusas para no probar Firefox".

¿Sientes que tu Internet Explorer tarda mucho en abrir?.

A ciencia cierta, este archivo ubicado en el directorio c:\windows\system32\control, no se sabe que es. Lo que si es cierto:

Es un archivo relacionado con Augnitum Outpost.
El formato es del estilo de una base de datos.
Su tamaño cada vez crece mas, superando los 100Mb.
Internet Explorer lo abre cuando se inicia tardando mas de 4 seg en leer el archivo.
Mozilla no lo abre cuando se inicia.
Desactivando outpost IE sigue abriendolo pero tarda menos.
Desinstalando outpost el archivo desaparece.
Al dia de la fecha solo hay 1 referencia en google sobre este archivo, que es de una persona que tiene problemas con spyware (SOLO 1 LINK EN GOOGLE !)

¿Sabes algo mas sobre el? Espero tus comentarios.

Lyall Watson, 69, Adventurer and Explorer of the ‘Soft Edges of Science,’ Dies

forthesakeofneverendinglove — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:29:30 +0000

By WILLIAM GRIMES

Lyall Watson, a maverick scientific polymath and explorer who wrote the best-selling book "Supernature" and introduced the "hundredth monkey" theory to explain the sudden and inexplicable transmission of behavior and ideas across social groups, died on June 25 in Gympie, Australia. He was 69 and lived in West Cork, Ireland.

The cause was a stroke brought on by Lewy body dementia, said Katherine Lyall-Watson, his niece.

Mr. Watson, whose interests and academic degrees embraced animal behavior, anthropology, chemistry, botany and geology, chafed at the limitations of traditional science, which he considered inadequate to address the mysteries of the natural world. His restless mind and wanderlust led him on expeditions to the Amazon and Borneo, and, on the far intellectual frontier, to explorations of eyeless sight, clairvoyance, telepathy and the spoon-bending demonstrations of Uri Geller.

His most famous contribution to paranormal debate was the hundredth monkey theory, proposed in the 1979 book "Lifetide: A Biology of the Unconscious" and enthusiastically embraced by New Age thinkers.

Japanese scientists studying macaques on the island of Koshima, he wrote, found that members of the colony took to washing sweet potatoes left by the researchers before eating them. When enough macaques engaged in this behavior — say, 99 — the addition of one more monkey would create a critical mass, and the practice spread not only throughout the tribe but also, telepathically it seemed, to colonies on other islands.

Under withering criticism from skeptics, who showed that the facts behind the theory were wrong, Mr. Watson conceded in The Whole Earth Review that the hundredth monkey theory was "a metaphor of my own making," a way of suggesting how mechanisms other than natural selection might work in evolution.

"It might have come to be called the Hundredth Cockroach or Hairy Nosed Wombat Phenomenon if my travels had taken me in a different direction," he wrote. And besides, he added, it still might be true.

Malcolm Lyall-Watson was born in Johannesburg, the eldest of three brothers. His Scottish father worked as an architect, and his mother was a radiologist. As a child, Mo, as his brothers called him to his lifelong annoyance, roamed his grandparents' farm and learned the ways of the veldt from a Zulu farmhand. He learned to read studying a voluminous work called "Birds of South Africa."

In an effort to tame him and his rambunctious friends, Mo's grandmother drove the lot of them to a beach shack made of driftwood and left them with a month's provisions and instructions to fend for themselves. The tribe prospered, and the exercise was repeated every summer thereafter.

After attending the Rondebosch Boys' High School in Cape Town, Mr. Watson enrolled at 15 in the University of the Witwatersrand, where he earned degrees in botany and zoology. He would later earn degrees in geology, chemistry, marine biology, ecology and anthropology. He completed a doctorate in ethology, or animal behavior, at the University of London under Desmond Morris, the curator of mammals at the London Zoo and author of "The Naked Ape."

After joining the BBC, where he was a producer and reporter on nature documentaries (and dropped his first name), Mr. Watson embarked on a series of ventures. He designed zoos, served as director of the Johannesburg Zoo, ran a safari company in Kenya and created a whale sanctuary in the Seychelles, where his work on the International Whaling Commission helped bring about the current moratorium on commercial whaling.

Improbably, he also presented championship sumo matches at the Albert Hall in London and produced a British television series, "Sumo," for which he provided the expert commentary as tournaments unfolded.

In 1961 he married Vivienne Mawson. The couple divorced in 1966. A second marriage, to Jacquey Visick, also ended in divorce. His third wife, Alice Coogan, died in 2003. He is survived by his brothers Andrew, of Gympie, and Craig, of South Africa.

As much an adventurer as a scientist, Mr. Watson spent much of his life heading for remote regions of the globe, leading expeditions to the Antarctic, the Kalahari, Madagascar and Indonesia in search of isolated peoples and what he called "the soft edges of science" — paranormal phenomena like the fabled psychic surgery practiced in the Philippines.

For 12 years he lived on a converted shrimp trawler in the Amazon. Often he traveled with Fred, a tapeworm he introduced into his body in the belief that it warded off stomach ailments. For a time, after marrying his third wife, he lived in the United States, but eventually he settled in West Cork, where he suffered a series of strokes and then came down with Lewy body dementia, a poorly understood disease that combines the symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

In "Supernature: A Natural History of the Supernatural," published in 1973, Mr. Watson presented a full menu of the fringe phenomena that he found fascinating and that mainstream scientists scoffed at. He suggested that oysters might possess a "tidal memory," that a knife left under a paper pyramid could sharpen itself and that plants responded sympathetically when a live shrimp was thrown into boiling water.

The book spent 50 weeks on the best-seller list in Britain and sold 750,000 copies in paperback. A year later, Mr. Watson published "The Romeo Error," an inquiry into death, the afterlife and the supernatural, and in 1986 he published a sequel to "Supernature" called "Beyond Supernature: A New Natural History of the Supernatural."

His more than 20 books, reflecting a wide-ranging curiosity and in some cases a high tolerance for ridicule, included "The Nature of Things: The Strange Behavior of Inanimate Objects" and "The Dreams of Dragons," as well as studies of whales, wind, water, elephants and sumo. His most recent book, published in 2004, was "The Whole Hog: Exploring the Extraordinary Potential of Pigs."

His belief in a collective unconscious shaping the natural world led him ever forward on what seemed to him a simple mission. "All I do," he once wrote, "is look, listen and try to make sense of what I find, in biological terms."

Perhaps the only species he dismissed were the army of skeptics who found ready fodder in his preoccupations and all-too-willing suspension of disbelief. "Self-appointed committees for the suppression of curiosity," he called them.

Identity bereft.

Chris — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:37:38 +0000

Over the past weekend, at a family reunion, I found myself defining myself in pretty much the same terms I've come to do this over the past year. Or should I say, how I explained myself was a good six months out of date. I am no longer simply a producer or beat maker, composer, whatever. I still enjoy those things and even spent yesterday pocketing some music for three tracks I will be mixing soon and arranging a third track that I will be pocketing in the next week.

One thing I failed to mention, is I am now amongst my various roles as a musician, a book publisher. Pack Animals is merely the rough draft for what is coming although, based on the reactions I've gotten from the chapbook, it was a rather valiant first effort with a few poets saying that it barely qualifies as a chapbook because it is of a higher quality than the chapbooks being pushed by most Los Angeles poets at the moment. This of course, doesn't do my identity its full justice either. I have made some strides in my film oriented ventures as well from a pre-production standpoint. I will be directing and writing again beginning with my visualized pieces of my poems. I began pricing animation paper yesterday, so along with the live action stuff I'll be unvieling over the course of time, I will also be a traditional animator. The acting part is already happening again with me moving to the theatrical stage with my group UnOccupied.

So for now, I'm not sure what the short answer is when people ask "What do you do?". Sometimes I feel like asking them back "What don't I do?". The only thing that stops me from doing that is my personality is annoying enough with my usual barrage of smart-ass comments.

I keep coming back to my explanation I gave during one of Tim Sweeney's exercises at Music Strategies. I am an Explorer. At my core, that simply seems to sum it up best for now I guess. Now. To bring my explanations up to date on what I'm exploring? That is another matter.

La guerra de los navegadores: Firefox 3 vs Internet Explorer 8

honova — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:47:36 +0000

Fecha: 20 de julio de 2008

Source: Genbeta

Target: Mozilla Firefox y Microsoft Internet Explorer 8

La guerra de navegadores es algo tan antiguo como la propia Internet. Desde el primer navegador (ViolaWWW), el mítico Mosaic que el estudiante Marc Andressen realizó como proyecto fin de carrera, pasando por la guerra entre Netscape y Microsoft, hasta la actual guerra por los usuarios entre Microsoft y Mozilla. Hasta ahora Microsoft ha conseguido ganar claramente esta batalla desde que sacó del mercado a Mosaic, en gran medida por el dominio de su sistema operativo Windows.

Pero Microsoft tiene un problema importante desde hace ya algún tiempo con Firefox. El porqué hay que buscarlo sobre todo en los complementos, esas pequeñas aplicaciones que le podemos añadir a nuestro navegador y nos permiten hacer cosas que el navegador no permite de serie. Firefox tiene muchos más complementos que Explorer, adicionalmente éstos son más fáciles de instalar y son siempre gratuitos. Todo esto a pesar de que los complementos han sido una de las prioridades en el desarrollo de Explorer 8. Un golpe bajo de la nueva versión de Microsoft es que cuando se instala pregunta si el usuario quiere que se busquen extensiones similares a las que se tienen instaladas para Firefox (el caso es que Firefox tiene muchas más extensiones que Explorer, así que el resultado será, en cualquier caso, cuestionable). Partiendo de la base que para el usuario experimentado los complementos resultan indispensables, y que para el usuario medio los complementos son cada vez más importantes, Firefox tiene cartas ganadoras en esta partida que dura ya años.

La gestión de las descargar y los marcadores es otro de los aspectos importantes de la comparativa. Explorer 8 prácticamente no se ha preocupado de este aspecto, por lo que Firefox sigue conservando una clara diferencia. Lo único que podemos destacar en este sentido es la incorporación de la tecnología de webslices, que permite descargar partes de una página web.

Con respecto a las pruebas para desarrolladores, Explorer 8 ha progresado al pasar el test Acid2, pero está muy lejos en Acid3 (18/100) de llegar al nivel de Firefox (71/100). El Acid3 es un test desarrollado para ver si un navegador respeta las especificaciones de los estándares web desarrollados por el W3C. Es decir, nos indica si el navegador cumple con los estándares generales de desarrollo de web. En función de la salida de nuevos estándares, hay nuevas versiones del test. La versión actual del test es la 3. Que un navegador cumple total o parcialmente el test quiere decir que mostrará con mayor o menor fiabilidad la página web tal como fueron programadas exactamente (respetando estilos, fuentes, etc).

En definitiva, estamos ante un intento que empieza a ser desesperado por parte de Microsoft de plantarle cara a una aplicación que le está superando claramente y que va inclinando poco a poco la balanza de su parte. Esta vez Microsoft lo tiene mucho más complicado que en batallas anteriores, y de hecho no tiene cartas ganadoras esta vez. Su último intento está muy lejos de llegar al nivel de su rival, por lo menos en esta primera Beta 1 que está disponible en el mercado.

UNC’s, Exe’s, and IE Enhanced Security Config.

tazspaz — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:04:39 +0000

Oh my GOSH!

Wow, this was annoying. I knew I'd heard it before so it only took a few moments of my time however; it was a couple hours before my guys asked for help and it does show just how ingrained IE is in the Microsoft's OS.

Error: SelectObject to CompatibleDC failed: The operation completed successfully. (0)

So what we were attempting to do was run an application installation from a UNC path. We could browse the path no problem. When we attempted to launch the application's executable we would see the above error.

What was the culprit you ask? It was the "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration" Windows component of Windows Server 2003 R2®. Once that was removed; Viola! It worked fine.

My guys think I walk on air, I don't tell them I once sat and banged my head on the keyboard too. Then again I'm sure there is scaring there on the forhead. ;)

Oggi ho avviato Windows (ho infatti sia ArchLinux che Windows installati, sebbene utilizzi quest'ultimo molto raramente). All'improvviso sento un «DANG» fortissimo (classico suono d'errore che gli utenti sono abituati a sentire spesso): appare davanti a me la bella finestra che vedete qui sotto. Stavo quasi per chiuderla, gesto ormai diventatomi automatico, quando l'occhio è cascato sul nome del programma facendomi cosí dire: «Ehi, ma... Windows sta tentando di bloccare se stesso!». I programmatori di Redmond avranno qualche menomazione mentale? A voi l'ardua sentenza.

Firefox: An update on what add-ons I use

Justin — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 01:53:53 +0000

Well, today has been quite a long, boring day. I didn't get too much accomplished, but I did give Firefox 3.0 a facelift. Ever since the beta versions of Firefox it has been hell trying to get add-ons. But as of lately, a lot of add-ons are beginning to show up and I'm happy to say that Firefox 3.0 now looks similar to what I had before with Firefox 2.x.x.

Firefox is quite advanced to how Netscape, or Internet Explorer used to be. Now that I've seen the new internet explorer it makes me want to vomit. The user interface may be minimal, but it just doesn't comparable to how Firefox is. I like the approach Firefox has. Once you download and install or have a clean slate Firefox the user interface isn't really minimal, but it has the basic user interface you'd expect it to have. From there, you can navigate to the addons part of the Firefox website from the browser and start downloading all the addons you want. Internet Explorer in the meantime starts off minimal to the point where you don't really know where to start customizing, or using their basic interface. I'm sure it's a lot harder for a basic user to learn how to use just because of the minimalistic view. I had a hard time after using Firefox for so long, and I'm quite the advanced user.

I really like the UI, and how I can customize it the way I want it to be. If I want it to be cluttered, I can just open my All-in-One sidebar, and toggle my Bookmark Bar and have instant clutter. Not only that, but I can also get rid of the clutter by simply hitting the toggle button to get rid of the Bookmark Bar, and hitting the toggle part of the All-in-One Sidebar, and be happy if I'm just surfing around on the internet. If I'm actually serious about the topic I'm looking for, I don't have to be distracted by the bulky UI options. If I want to blog about something and need internet references, I can open up Scribefire and it opens half way up my page, and I can still read what I'm blogging about. Another thing I like is that I can bookmark with an icon instead of either dragging the website's favicon into my sidebar, or going into the menu and adding the website to the browser. I do two of the three things accordingly. I either drag the favicon into the bookmark sidebar, or use the icon. It really depends what I'm doing.

By this time I'm sure you're asking yourself what selection of add-ons I use in my Firefox. Well, here's a list what I currently use.

Addblock Plus - Blocks ads to website's you don't want to see.
All-in-One Sidebar - A multiple-listing, customizable sidebar. You can view your bookmarks, history, downloads, add-ons, and so much more.
ColourfulTabs - When you use or open tabs, you will different different coloured tabs that will display. It helps when you're going tab-crazy.
CustomizeGoogle - You can enhance Google searches, and also block ads, get other search engine results, and be more secure with mail, and other such things Google. It's nice to have.
DOM Inspector - The add-on is textbook. Not sure what it does, but it's enabled by default so it must be a must-have.
Feed Sidebar - Instead of having live bookmarks as an icon, you can use a sidebar to display the live feeds, and give little descriptions much like a feed reader does. It will also give you an option to open it up in the all-in-one sidebar which makes it even more better.
Flashblock - Blocks un-needed flash ads, or content. Which can be re-enabled to see on a per site basis.
GoogleEnhancer - Similar to the CustomizeGoogle add-on. I will probably remove this now that I look at it.
Hyperwords - It makes every work on the internet interactive. You can highlight any piece of text in the browser and do a search on it.
Menu Editor - Customize application menus. You can not only customize your basic menus, but also your right click menu
NoScript - Allows JavaScript, Java and other plug-ins to work on trusted websites or domains of your choice.
Scribefire - Full-featured blog editor that integrates well into Firefox, and where I'm writing this entry at the moment. The user interface is a lot better than any other blog interface I've used in linux. Both, BloGTK(Not a firefox add-on) and Scribefire take turns. I can't seem to pick just one.
Stumbleupon - Toolbar that will let you browse for selective content based on keywords and topics. It integrates well into Firefox since I can put it onto my bookmark bar and hide my bookmark favicons as well as the bar that holds the favicons and stumbleupon bar.
Tiny Menu - Replaces the standard menu bar and enables me to have a one minimized menu pop-up. This also works well with the Menu Editor since you can limit the items in the pop-up menu.
Toolbar Buttons - This add-on adds more toolbar buttons, and is very useful with a minimal user interface.
Ubuntu Firefox Modifications - Ubuntu Firefox Pack. I haven't looked at it, but it was preinstalled.

There are a lot of add-ons, but it has enabled me to have an awesome full-futured customized browser with all the add-ons I want. Although, there is one add-on that I really want, and soon enough it will be updated to use on Firefox 3.0. Ubuntu Forums Menu. This enables me to view the forums main menu and context. If you're searching for a selected topic for a program, this add-on makes it a lot more easier, and helps to bring Ubuntu topics closer to you. This of course will work with the Tiny Menu as it did in Firefox 2.x.x.

Thanks for reading my post, here's a picture of my browser.

¿Firefox o Explorer?

Esmava — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:48:16 +0000

Aclaro antes que soy una neófita en estos asuntos.

Porque lo he leído en varias páginas de geeks, y porque personas que respeto mucho en estos asuntos, lo usan; he entendido que Firefox es un mejor navegador que Explorer.

Así que bajé Firefox 3 y comencé a usarlo. Pero ...(Sé que ésto sonará infundado y carente de sentido para algunos ), me gusta más Explorer.

Firefox tiene algunas aplicaciones que se agradecen, como el software para descargar archivos, el corrector de ortografía (muy útil al escribir en inglés), y para mí, es todo. Al menos en mi PC Mozilla es más lento que Explorer, debo bajar como miles de Plug ins, que Explorer no me pide, La configuración de las páginas web ya no es tan agradable al ojo con Firefox, al mandar un mail en ciertas páginas, no puedo usar los emoticones ni cambiar el formato del texto...

Sé que alguién que conozca más de estos asuntos me explicará y me hará "entrar en razón". ¿Por qué los conocedores dicen que Mozilla es muchísimo mejor que Explorer?

¿Firefox o Explorer?.. Esta Vanitense se queda definitivamente con Opera.

Why You Should Check Your Website Using All Browsers

bobpardue — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:41:47 +0000

This article explains the importance of checking your web pages in both Internet Explorer and Netscape before going live and I hope you'll get some useful information here.

Do you currently own both Netscape and IE?

If you do not currently have access to both browsers on your system, I highly recommend that you get both to check your web pages.
Tip! As the time progressed the Web designing languages changed their faces, one of the main drastic change was the dynamicity of the pages along with the database applications. This particular change cropped up some new languages like VBscript, JavaScript, ASP.

Or, find a friend that has the browser you don't have and check your web pages with his/her browser.

Why check with both browsers?

Checking your site using both browsers will save you time and prevent you from losing valuable web business.

Ie table cell collapse

invective — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:08:57 +0000

Just a quick one that bothered me for a bit.

The CSS style 'empty-cells: show;' is pretty neat if you want to leave some of the cells in a table empty. It will force Firefox and a few other browsers to at least render the cells. Unfortunately the 'other browsers' do not include IE 6 - 7.
table { empty-cells: show; }

Fix empty cells in IE

You can achieve some love in the IE's by addding in 'border-collapse:collapse' to the table CSS. This will render empty cells in IE while sacrificing the ability for neat bordered cell spacing. Perhaps placing the CSS inside an IE CSS Hack section to hide it from the other browsers would be desired.
table { empty-cells: show; border-collapse:collapse; }

Fix height on empty rows

This will still not render correct height on empty rows. Adding in 'height: 1em' on the table data style you should get a better result, Firefox does not see this as a strict height and seems to expand past it if required.
table { empty-cells: show; border-collapse:collapse; } table tr td{ border: 1px solid black; height: 1em; }
Obviously the border is not required.

This technique does not force the columns to a minimum set width.

Checking Your Backlinks

shiftee — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:39:46 +0000

You could probably just search with Google to check on your backlinks. But experience itself has taught me that Google isn't always the right place to go to when you need to check up on your site. Checking on your backlinks with Google will not bring you the search results you need. Personally, the <site:[url]> and the <link:[url]> commands only brought up irrelevant searches for me when I'm checking up on my sites.

Through my SEO projects, I've discovered two helpful tools that have been very useful for me when checking up on the backlinks of my sites.

1. Yahoo! Site Explorer

This is no bomb for the SEO masters of the net. I've only discovered this myself but Yahoo! Site Explorer has been a great help to SEOers and link builders for a long time now. Compared to Google, Yahoo! Site Explorer shows you more of your back links and gives you more details on them.

When using Yahoo! Site Explorer, just enter in you URL. To see only your backlinks and disregard your deep links, choose these options: Inlinks > Show Inlinks: Except From This Domain.

When using Yahoo! Site Explorer, it is also recommended that you install the SEO Link Analysis tool from Yoast.com. This tool goes perfectly well with Firefox. It helps you determine which of your backlinks are dofollow and which are basically useless in your link building efforts.

2. BacklinkWatch.com

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="374" caption=" "][/caption]

I have also only discovered this recently (with the help of forums) and I found the site to be extremely detailed in listing all the backlinks of my sites. I haven't done an extensive search about this website yet. But one try at it made me see that it is indeed worthy of its name. A site that I was working on had a lot of backlinks from forums and blog posts, and Backlinkwatch.com listed them all.

Restore Notification Area Icon after Explorer Crash

syedgakbar — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:05:15 +0000

If you are writing any application which adds an icon to the Taskbar notification area, it's recommend to handle the "WM_TASKBARCREATED" the message sent by explorer. This message is sent by explorer when it's creating the taskbar. As after crash explorer doesn't remember the original notification icons, you should handle this message and then re-register your application notification icon.

To capture this message, you must first register it like this:

const static UINT WM_TASKBARCREATED = ::RegisterWindowMessage(__T("TaskbarCreated"));

Once it's registered, you should handle this in your Windows Callback Procedure to re-add the icon for your application in the notification area. Something like this:

// Check if the Taskbar is just being created. This message is broadcast by the Explorer
// when it's launched (after any crash)
if (message == WM_TASKBARCREATED)
{
// Add the code to re-add your application in the notification area.
}

Simple, but yet effective. What do you think?

French explorer: "Turds are a girl's best friend"

sirsatire — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 17:32:44 +0000

French undersea explorer Watier Clouset has discovered a vast amount of diamonds scattered about the Pacific ocean floor east of Hawaii, according to the French news magazine Le Snitch.

The diamonds were spotted by operators of a remote-controlled aquatic robot tethered to Clouset's ship Apocalypso.

Already surprised by the existence of the diamonds on the ocean floor, Clouset and his crew were equally surprised to find whale turds mixed in with the diamonds. The turds had somehow survived the two mile descent from the ocean surface, and were displaying a range of colors from dark brown to shiny white.

"We were looking at the diamonds and whale turds on the Pacific floor," Clouset said. "It took a few minutes before we finally realized what we were looking at."

[caption id="attachment_342" align="alignright" width="320" caption="Land poopies rarely turn into diamonds due to warm temperatures and lack of high pressure."][/caption]

The answer to the diamonds and turds mystery, Clouset said, is that they are actually the same thing.

"When a whale defecates, its turd will sometimes descend to the ocean floor intact," he explained. "There the turd is subjected to immense pressure and, over time, the turd's carbon atoms realign and crystallize, creating a turd diamond."

The largest turd diamond found by Clouset was pink in color, probably due to something colorful the whale consumed while feeding, Clouset theorizes. He and the Apocalypso crew nicknamed it "The Poop Panther."

Clouset is amazed but also amused by the existence of the turd diamonds.

"It is said that diamonds are a girl's best friend," he noted. "But now it turns out that turds are a girl's best friend as well."
