Search For Evi Nemeth Continues 67
oneiros27 writes "Although the initial search for Evi Nemeth (and some other people who didn't write Unix books) ended, family and friends of the missing crew are funding a private search effort for the crew. They've managed to get more images from DigitalGlobe of the drift area, but now need help looking through the pictures. If you've got some free time, you might be able to help save some lives."
The southern ocean doesn't take prisoners. (Score:5, Informative)
You people who imagine anyone from the boat Nemeth was on is still
alive obviously have no idea about the conditions in the southern ocean.
If drowning doesn't kill you, hypothermia will, and if that doesn't kill you,
a few days without fresh water to drink will do the trick.
Unless those on board the boat were able to don survival suits and carried
food and water with them and were able to get into their life raft which may or
may not have deployed such that it could even be used, the chance that anyone
survived is as close to zero as it gets. Sure, it's nice to hope people survived,
but these people are all fish food by now.

Evi Stopped teaching Unix Sys Admin the semester I took it (you were a good teacher Tor, I just was looking forward to Emi). I remember her smiling at me going through the hallway between classes, funny how I remember that. I think I was a little star struck because she was the equivalent of an A list celebrity in the UNIX world.

I ignored the login stuff, just clicked through to get to the images. There is a primer on what they're looking for in that initial part, but also some login stuff that I just clicked through. The page initially didn't load once I got to the blank page, but a couple of reloads and it finally loaded and I could start moving the viewfinder through the search area.
