To send links to internal anchors in HTML documents, use &lt;a href=&quot;javascript:(function(){%20var%20rows=document.evaluate('//a[@name]',%20document,%20null,%20XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,%20null);%20for(var%20i=0;%20i%3crows.snapshotLength;%20i++)%20{%20var%20it%20=%20rows.snapshotItem(i);%20var%20name%20=%20it.getAttribute('name');%20if(0%20%26%26%20it.GetAttribute('href')%20||%20it.innerHTML)%20continue;%20it.innerHTML=%22#%22;%20it.setAttribute(%22href%22,%20%22#%22%20+%20name);%20}%20rows%20=%20document.evaluate('//*[@id]',%20document,%20null,%20XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,%20null);%20for(var%20i=rows.snapshotLength-1;%20i%3e=0;%20i--)%20{%20var%20it%20=%20rows.snapshotItem(i);%20var%20id%20=%20it.getAttribute('id');%20it.innerHTML%20=%20%22%3ca%20href=\%22#%22%20+%20id%20+%20%22\%22%3e#%3c/a%3e%22%20+%20it.innerHTML;%20}%20})()&quot;&gt;this bookmarklet&lt;/A&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;I find this bookmarklet very useful when sending people links to emc
documentation and the wiki, because there are often more anchors available than
those that are actually linked to in tables of contents.

Breaking down 47.000000 degrees into degrees, minutes, and seconds, google
comes up with the bizarre &amp;quot;59 minute and 60 seconds of a degree&amp;quot;.
Floating-point round-off somewhere?  Probably.  &lt;b&gt;Update&lt;/b&gt;, March 24, 2008:
The bug is half-fixed.  Today, Google displays +47° 0' 0.00&amp;quot;, -119° 59'
60.00&amp;quot; as the coordinates of this location.

<title>Stross releases Singularity E-book</title>

Charles Stross has released a downloadable, &lt;a href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;creative-commons&lt;/a&gt; version of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.accelerando.org/&quot;&gt;Accelerando&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;quot;a fictional depiction of a possible
Technological Singularity lying in our near future&amp;quot;.  I'm still in the first
part, which I had also read in a copy of Asimov's Sci-Fi.  It's good stuff.
I'm glad I'll be able to read it from start to end, not in a random order
whenever I travel and check out whatever copies of the magazine happen to be at
the library the day I leave town.
