If you take a look at the website hosting the blog (Ksplice), you might notice that "this guy" works for a company that produces software which eliminates the need for reboots...
Funnily enough, something like this happened at MIT about a month ago. The whole MIT subnet went down for about 2 hours. Cause? Switch that was plugged into itself.
I was reading TFA that was linked, and the author said something about the monopole inducing a current "without dying out."
So I presume that he is using some sort of metal in a device to test this current. If the current doesn't die out, isn't there constant heat loss in the metal due to resistance from the current? Where is that heat loss made up, concerning conservation of energy?
I found it interesting that this article is embedded deep in NYTime's website. The article isn't found on the front page, and even on the technology page it only makes the "More Technology news" section.
