Interesting Browser Tool

Post by SyntaxVorlon »

I found an interesting extension for Firefox called /hbar. It is a searching tool for the arXiv physics paper archive. And it's fucking sweet. *gibbers madly*

Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

It allows you to scan through arxiv, a database of physics papers run by Cornell and Los Alamos.

I think it fits better under SLAM because it's got more to do with the physics paper finding ability than the fact that it's for your browser and there's a better likelihood of a SLAM reader finding it useful than a G&C reader.
