A phrase that the Oxford English Dictionary reports was first used in 1736. It means "to make an inventory of the merchandise, furniture, etc., in one's own possession, recording its quantity and present value, or to make a careful estimate of one's position with regard to resources, prospects, or the like."

[OT - Technology] Human Computing

I couldn't resist posting this amazing tech-talk by Luis Von Ahn, an assistant professor in Computer Science at CMU. The video is about 51.5 minutes long, but is definitely worth the time. It talks about "how to use wasted human cycles !!". A must watch !
