I know currency is supposed to be filthy with germs anyway, but do we really want to stick someone else's halitosis and god-knows what oral- and pulmonary disease germs in our wallets?
Exactly. I don't think there's a single wind-power installation anywhere in the world that is anywhere close to truly self-supporting. They are a great idea but just don't cut it commercially.
Even the Danes - major investors in (and sellers of) the technology haven't been able to make it pay - except by exporting the technology to other countries. That's why they've tried hushing the economic reports about their w-farms; they don't want to scare away customers with the facts.
That's a pity: I always liked the idea of windfarms.
...would love to see this implemented autonomously, just so's I could observe it and marvel at the principles of adaptive feedback control. Poetry in motion!
AFAIK you are right. The VC II wasn't decryption-algorithm-hacked - the hackers simply found a flaw in the decryption processor architecture (a TMS7500 series, I think) that allowed the secret keys to be "tricked" out of memory. Something to do with a command to "check old key block segment against proposed new one" boo-boo. If you are allowed to ask all the questions you like about a secret number - one byte at a time -it doesn't take long to deduce it.

Correction to Google headline:
Google "says" it will no longer scan ... blah,blah.
Their "promise" and $0.01 will buy me .... nothing.
The first suggestion in the box is "Nixon crime". I tried this Friday and just now (Sat, 4:30-ish AM CST).
...They'll probably discover that they are nothing more than a rich child's dirty limerick collection.
...that our species (and civilization) will even be around in a quarter-million years?
I kinda doubt it.

Whenever I see an article reference "Polywell" my BS detector pegs at 11.
The US Navy funded the Polywell boondoggle for years without discernible result.
They (Lockheed) got nothin' ...
Yeah - they throttle back the well-behaved in order to "not disadvantage them".
D'uh?
Ever heard of "Pause"? LOL
Yeah, but the surgery is (usually) gonna hurt like blazes the instant the signal is stopped!
Hemihelix Perversion. That sounds so ... dirty.
My mind is a raging torrent of possible meanings. But I will spare you all.
Three words: Math, math, and math.
If you don't have the advanced math skills, your use to a scientific research effort will be limited.
"You tread heavily, but you speak the truth."
Exactly. The post is crap.

Political Correctness (PC) is a doctrine which holds that it is possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Or - as I've put it in the past - "PC is an unwillingness to face unpleasant truths."
But your has more color.
...is a new twist on the idea of a floating grid!

Old war stories....gotta love 'em.
...VideoCipher II?
As quick as the satellite broadcasters changed keys, the hackers would crack and distribute them.
They're going to continue this until they get the vote desired.
