"We are exploiting the peculiar propagation of electrons in graphene to make a very small antenna that can radiate at much lower frequencies than classical metallic antennas of the same size," said Ian Akyildiz, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, in a funding drive.
Could you take just a little more care with your copy-paste submissions? This is twice in two days that you've copied the second and third paragraphs of a story, thus robbing the initial sentences of their context. Example:
Earlier this year, it was London. Most recently, it was a university in Germany. Wherever it is, [artist Aram] Bartholl is opening up his eight white, plainly printed binders full of the 4.7 million user passwords that were pilfered from the social network and made public by a hacker last year.
Which social network?
Yes, it's specified further down in the submission, but more by luck than judgement, I suspect.
Makes one wonder if you're actually a sentient being.
Yes, I know what Donkey Kong is. But since the word "Donkey" doesn't show up until the end of the second sentence, I think I might be forgiven for thinking that perhaps submitters should take a little more care with what they write - sorry, what they copy and paste - and that editors might be better off taking a glance themselves and, y'know, editing once in a while.
I expect this is of proper scientific merit and interest to those who understand these things, but I'm not one of them. All I get from the summary (and what little I can glean from the article this late at night) seems to amount to hiding something by not lighting it up in the first place. And I can think of easier ways to do that...
If something's already lit by another light source, surely you couldn't really actually use this like a "beam of darkness" as is suggested?

Because Disney probably own the rights to the Grinch, but not (yet) to Santa.
If a process is allowed to grab 100 percent of CPU time then the operating system itself is fundamentally broken
Not allowing a process to grab 100% of available CPU time (which is what's happening here; it's not commandeering the CPU entirely) would be broken.
Sherlock.
A torrent of which will be duly available at around midnight on the 1st of January.
An unimpressive illusion.
A "meh" trick.
Meh.
Quantum Quidditch.
There is a reason you get are forced to preview your post before submitting.
Irony notwithstanding... just like we're all forced to read EULAs?
It's a stupid idea.
One of these would make it Yank resistant.

FTFY.
The Elders of the Internet are displeased with your ridiculously long Google-redirected URL.

I like the way Snrub thinks!
That far right side of the Periodic Table
Also known as the fascist elements.
This is definitely a viable option.
That's for the guy who asked the question in the first place to decide, and he specified:
without changing the way she uses her PC or enforcing a new OS on her again
So I'd say it's not.

You'd have to have a very narrow special interest or live in a very remote area to *not* be able to gather that kind of 'crowd'.
I'm President of the Ascension Island chapter of the Doctor Who (Classic Series) Appreciation Society, you insensitive clod!

Kudos to Sky broadband workers who repaired the cluster fsck.
It's BT's infrastructure, so it's probably their engineers fixing it.
I guess it goes to show, you'd be stupid to use your real name or identifying details on Twitter.
Racist and stupid? Whodathunkit?
I don't know, where can you get killed for insulting feminism? Oh, sorry, thought it was a feed line...
Anyway, what GP said was:
and in some parts of the world [making fun of religion] can still get you fucking killed today. I'm glad feminism isn't there yet.
GitHub aren't trying to stop people finding out about it. They just don't want to host it. The Streisand Effect isn't relevant.

Stop anthropomorphising inanimate objects. It's patronising to us, and they really hate it.
