Old Brompton station (the one you said was next to the Brompton Oratory) is now the HQ of the University Of London Air Squadron. I guess they just left the station in the hands of the Royal Air Force after the war.

Maybe I am being a bit pretentious, but in my opinion CSI needs to smarten up a bit. Currently it is a bit patronising, sometimes to a funny degree, when two supposedly proficient characters explain basic medicine to each other. This happens in every episode. Secondly, can they please stop pretending that in real life they'd (meaning "they would") have that much money. I mean, someone has to pay for all the sello-tape they use up. And I haven't even started to talk about the humongous clues that villains leave behind - "OH, isn't that the left sleeve of the victim's jumper on your skirt?"-esque revelations make it disguistingly cringeworthy. Ugh.
P.S. Oh, and a good kicking...
As far as I was aware, the issue of scalability of Gnutella is something that came out of a simplistic design, indeed, I cannot really imagine a distributed P2P system of a simpler nature. There is obviously a point to reshuffling its topology (after all, we'll get to use words like hypertori!) but I do not see it immediately. Why not look at something like Freenet which has been
designed by people who seem to have a good idea about what they are doing
made scalable
made efficient
made truly anonymous
I guess the point of this is to ask ourselves a question: why bother? Let the best programs survive.
One thing that I have noticed, were the little "weights of importance" for each category. Annoyingly enough, the two genuinely interesting(to me anyway) topics of P2P and distributed computing are apparently just something that would be "nice to have", which to me sounds like utter rubbish. P2P and distributed computing is underutilised and underdeveloped, which is why its benefits don't come through as clearly as, say the eternal fuel cells etc. The author clearly went for the "impress the average CNN.com reader by throwing in some abbreviations"-approach, for which, some people might want to see him put down. I really could not care less.
Oh, another thing was that the "applications able to harness this power [of hyper-threading] are nowhere to be seen". Ahem, that is just funny. Can I have a job writing for CNN too?

Read up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Communicating_Systems and then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-calculus The mentioned languages are just varying implementations. Microsoft is one of the very few places that actually fund any sort of research into properly-done concurrency.
Have a go at Roshambo.

Oh, and the Belgians invented mayonaise. Don't mess with that.

It's very cold out there after all. Like in Finland.
that's per lane, perhaps?
