"Are you kidding me? Why would the university be playing with live data in the first place?"
Are YOU kidding? Most universities perform huge amounts of research using Professors as project managers and students as mostly underpaid labor. You think they survive on tuition? Think all Grad students do is study? Many work on projects which have and will change the world. many work on projects which are/will be hacked. Many work on security. Some work... on LSD.

It describes a very "interesting" problem with the "hockey stick" global warming plot published by University of Massachusetts geoscientist Michael Mann. The journal "Nature" reviewed a study of the Mann Principal Component Study methodology and software analysis which performed by Steven McIntyre and Ross McKitrick. Nature's referrees were unwilling to undertake the research involved in validating the analysis performed by McIntyre/McKitrick. They chose to publish their research here at

The Potomac River Daily News unveils new research showing scientists trying to do the work of biologists have difficulty discerning male and female members of certain fish species. They have also been shown to have insufficient skill in differentiating fish eggs from shinola.
To protect our fragile breads and eardrums Congerss has now mandated we wear foil hats while participating in Naval exercises involving ELF. Cows should be shielded as well. If sufficient foil headgear are not avaialble, some protection may be achieved by playing LOUD rock music thru your subwoofers, backwards if possible. We now return you to...Earth.

Those lowly MS users among us... How is this different from our occassional upgrades. I feel I take great risks when I install a patch from MS, or from my router vendor... I've experienced catastrophic failure before as a result of "an upgrade". Sounds like business as usual.
Seems like cable and DSL modems need auto(ugh - scary)-updating firmware with firewall enabled by default. Stuff that will update without being plugged into a computer. I hate things that don't let you choose. This scenario sounds like you walk into a clinic for innoculations, but deadly disease agents are everywhere in the air. Try holding your breath while waiting...
After digging pretty deep thru the Tesla threads I see several who are very well informed on his accomplishments, discoveries, and developments. The scarry part is reading and comprehending how many readers are clueless about basic science and ignorant of any aspect of scientific history. Is there a way to overcome such a lack of understanding?

Which is exactly what I'm doing now. Dual monitors are a neccessity for some things. Data modeling doesn't fare well on the small screen.
