Ali G [talking to Buzz Aldrin]: People have been arguing about this for years, and I want to bring it up here and settle the issue once and for all - does the moon really exist?
They were able to levitate and spin a microscopic sphere at speeds of up to 600 million revolutions per minute. This spin speed is half a million times faster than a domestic washing machine
what, like dip your arms in ooblek? that sounds pretty weak, even for an AC. do you know what AC means? I didn't think so, or else you wouldn't have said something so silly. know what i mean? i think you do.
ME? Vista? do I get a prize? also, if linus had moved his ass a bit, he could have had an official release on the 22nd anniversary. that's what jobs would have done. maybe linus should have used some of that legendary whip-cracking management skill of his.
i think they would prefer to identify 'suspicious' streams, monitor them for a while, then throw the person/terrorist in a hole for decades. that's how they roll.
WOW is this what the world is coming to? anywhere in the world, when there's a bad internet connection, the first question is "is the NSA throttling me?" HINT: the NSA won't throttle you, they'll spy on everything you do.
here are the four things, pulled from the article:
1. Encryption: It's not hard
* Keep your private key secret, encrypted and in one place (eg, not a police interrogation room)
* Meet the Advanced Encryption Standard
two cents - if you leave without notice, then take 2 weeks off so your new company doesn't realize you're giving your old company the shaft. don't want to start out on the wrong foot.
he's obv an egomaniac. the steve jobs of open source. the problem is that jobs's egomania spurred a company to do great things and climb to the top of the computing world in terms of profit and quality and innovation (i think this is an observation, not a judgment), while linus's egomania has held back his product. can he be replaced? does linus have a tim cook?

self fail
The summary says:
This spin speed is half a million times faster than a domestic washing machine
Similarly, I could say "30 is 10 times more than 3".
30 times is 27 times more than 3 times. Amirite?
The unit of measurement here is rpm, aka times per minute. Unit A is 600m [unit], 500k [unit] faster than unit B. I will accept your apology now

wtf? Washing machines spin at 599.5 million rpm?
Same diff? Maybe he meant 1/10^-4, and is woefully misinformed

It's like that tng movie where data gets real skin.

doesn't work in safari on mac, so no dice.
my rule is to read the first six words of a summary and make all my judgments from there. saves time from reading!
this seems like a nonsequiter to me. how does it relate?
The article fails to mention what they intend to convert the CO2 into
umm... bricks? it's in the first sentence of TFS, and the headline too.
xkcd.
A research pilot plant in Newcastle will trial world-first technology
my favorite beer! I'll have to visit. what is there to do there?

what is an encrypted VPN? I thought all VPNs were encrypted?

here are the four things, pulled from the article:
1. Encryption: It's not hard
* Keep your private key secret, encrypted and in one place (eg, not a police interrogation room)
* Meet the Advanced Encryption Standard
2. Use clean machines
3. How to shift the data securely
4. Using hidden services
my advice is always excellent. you are welcome. you can ask me other questions in the future when you do not know what to do.
