New Polymer Ideal For Secure Data Storage
aphexbrett writes "Clever geometry is the basis of a new material that is said to be ideal for secure data encryption and dense optical information storage. The material consists of a lattice of onionlike spheres in which the particle core and its layers each contain a different dye. The material can hold four or more pieces of information in one spot--not just two as in binary optical data storage. And it opens a door to high-density three-dimensional optical data storage. Read a summary of the research over at C&EN News."
Anyone remember the movie Zardoz with Sean Connery from the late 70's, where a computer that ran a whole civilization, their "God" was actually just a crystal? pretty nifty...

1. Imagine a Beowulf cluster of 'em
2. Ask if it runs Linux
3. Pour hot grits down front of gnaa member's pants
4. ???
4. Profit!!!
But the question is, are they everlasting gobstoppers? What's the decay rate?
Yes, it's real fucking scary that GWB is leading the polls for 5 points right now.
It's as if everyone has completely forgotten how fucked up the past 3 years have been.
And while the parent post was off topic, everything he said was true. Not enough people spoke out against the war. So now former Keyboard Warrior chickenhawks will now have a chance to go offline and show their support in the real world, by dodging RPGs while guarding a fucking oil refinery!
I turned 26 in January, so have fun out there kids: I won't be joining you. Have fun dying so soccermoms can offroad in their SUVs.
When talking about lattice and onions, I was waiting for the part about adding the dressing to make it a salad.
Joe Sixpack doesn't like people who use difficult words or who see shades of gray instead of black and white. GWB gives out an impression of being a folksy, easy-going Texan who's "gonna smoke'em evil-doers out of their holes" and make them pay.
SHREK: No! Layers! Onions have layers! Ogres have layers! Onions have layers.
You get it? We both have layers. [Sighs]
DONKEY: Oh, you both have layers. Oh. [Sniffs] You know, not everybody likes onions. Cake! Everybody loves cakes! Cakes have layers.
SHREK: I don't care... what everyone likes. Ogres are not like cakes.
DONKEY: You know what else everybody likes? Parfaits. Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no parfait"? Parfaits are delicious.
SHREK: No! You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden! Ogres are like onions! End of story. Bye-bye. See ya later.
