The Encyclopedia of Life Passes the 1 Million Page Mark 23

Chuckles08 writes "The Encyclopedia of Life project, an online resource aggregating information about all life on Earth, now has over 1 million taxon pages with content. All content is licensed under a Creative Commons license and includes text, over 1.5 million images, video, and sounds. It's an amazing resource for educators since the information is curated and rated. EOL also develops tools to make the content even more accessible, like the field guide tool that lets you build a customized online (and printable) field guide about any group of species or higher taxa."

    First-world problems are a bitch, eh?

    Actually, Old World vs New World might still be an informative division within the so-called First World. I live in the Old World, and have an uncapped 100/100 fiber internet at home. There are no limits or caps at all, even though it's a bog standard home service - I even run web and mail servers from home and have had close to 1TiB in combined upload & download traffic some months.

    On the other hand, we hear nothing but whining about miserly caps in the New World, which rather devalues whatever connection speed they have.

Scientists will study your brain to learn more about your distant cousin, Man.
