After some time, the idea that the swamps would be fertile farmland if they could be drained was realized by a French engineer that invented the big pumps.
Actually it was more the Dutch than the French who came up with the technology and the know-how for converting swampland. Blame the French for crimes like Edith Piaf, but the Dutch are mostly at fault for inappropriately-drained swampland.
Have you priced car or home charger for any USB-based device lately? Standardization does wonders for economies of scale.
China, of all countries, did the right thing here, their government said "All devices shall use mini-USB for charging" and so they do. I have a bunch of electronic gear from places like Alibaba and Dealextreme and pretty much everything that can be sensibly powered off 5V (including unexpected things like LED bedside clocks) all use a 5V USB-tyle power supply. Just that alone would solve a massive amount of power-supply problems.
Magnetic power connectors have been around since the late 1960s, and were mandated for deep fat fryers by the Consumer Product Safety Commission after the previous attempt at resolving accidents, short power cords, weren't effective in preventing accidents. So all you have to do is use the technology described in an 1970s (expired) patent for your connector rather than Apples 2007 patent (7,311,526, âoeMagnetic connector for electronic device") on exactly the same thing.
Oh, or if you're feeling particularly innovative you can patent the same thing that all the others have patented, and perhaps even sue Apple for infringement. Isn't the USPTO wonderful? Just pay your fee and they'll rubberstamp anything you like.
You want one that works, it ain't free but it IS cheap and you get a free 30 day trial to give it a spin. Here you go Comodo Instant SSL. To get the free trial just pick the free SSL button on the upper left.

This is a cogent and relevant post.

It also makes it punishable to send e-mail messages containing pornographic images to a random number of people.

Following up to my own post, pain, both physical and emotional, affects the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, and can be treated with something as ordinary as Paracetamol (clincally, acetaminophen), which I believe is sold in the US under the brand name Tylenol. If the CNN story isn't technical enough for you, try "Acetaminophen Reduces Social Pain: Behavioural and Neural Evidence", Psychological Science, 2010 (this was earlier work, not what CNN is reporting at the moment).

Psychiatrists know, for example, that certain painkillers can be effective in treating some symptoms of emotional distress, and in lessening the pain of rejection, isolation, or loss.
For the person who posted the WTF? response, this is an important result because it means that mechanisms for dealing with physical pain can also address some aspects of emotional pain (although as I've pointed out, it wasn't really a new result, but confirmation of something we already knew).
While I agree about avoiding travel to shithole jurisdictions whose laws I'm on the wrong side of
Like the USA?
So someone from the US goes to another country, gets arrested on nebulous charges, incarcerated, and will be tried in secret, eventually. It's a good thing this would never happen in the U... oh, wait. Damn.

And my kid fried the MagSafe power supply too, by sticking his magnets up against the connector end. ...
I hate those magnets so gawd damn much

Apple's patent is for that *On a Computer*

Your analogy is confusing. Can I get one with cars?

That's like saying "Those who don't know how a locking mechanism works shouldn't use their car keys."
No, it's like saying, "Those who don't know how a locking mechanism works shouldn't be rekeying locks."
No, it's like saying, "Those who don't know how a locking mechanism works shouldn't be removing their own appendix with a rusty sardine can".

Using Public Key Cryptography wrong removes any security it grants.
You can even see the problem in the original article, which refers to:

I'm thinking that this $500,000 burglary will not be recognized as a loss of value.
Exactly. So someone stole $500K of someone else's Monopoly money. Giant who-cares.

What is this, rate-limiting for stoned people?

I just tweaked the universal constant at the start of creation so this comment would spontaneously appear by itself.
Yeah, sorry about that, it's a design flaw that you can still do that. Creation SP2 should fix it, I'm currently working on it. My bad.
All of them count as "useful" to someone or other.
