  3. Really? on Ask Slashdot: Self-Hosting Git Repositories? · · Score: 1

    Do you think that hosting it private will stop them? only if you keep it on a closed network with no outside access and even then one of your employees are most likely a NSA agent and will still give them what they need.

    Growing up tattling was always frowned upon, however in cases like this .. it should be brought forward. But also if it news worthy .... you would expect you wouldn't have to try and toot your own horn, someone else would have posted the story for you.

  23. Re:No Parking on the Dance Floor on Harvard Physicists Make Light Dance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think that they went a little far when saying that Light was Dancing. More closer would be that they stored a 4 centimeter stream of light and then played it back later. Finally we are gonna have a way to have data storage crystals like in all the scifi movies.
