So we're talking about _electric_ ocean currents? How is right hand rule newsworthy?
Um, this is/. so I'm not sure "right-hand rule" always means what you think it does here.:-) I'm sure a lively debate could ensue on "science geek" vs. "lonely geek".
According to the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Odd Magnar Strindmo" was a fourth generation accounting prefect on the third major planet of the second solar system in the first minor galactic cluster directly to the "left" of the vicinity of Betelgeuse - a star that has recently gone supernova. After achieving a modicum of fame for discovering the 47th known Mersenne Prime, during extended holiday on the, mostly harmless, planet named Earth, Mr Strindmo retired to a life of semi-luxury where he preferred to be called "Steve".

The biometrics plan lays groundwork for a "vast database of personal data including fingerprints, iris scans and DNA which the FBI calls the Next Generation Identification.
...GATTACA. Can't wait to see who Feds declare "valid" and "in-valid".
It doesn't help the P2P cause that the technology continues to pop up in bad practices.
It's people, not software that are the problem. Software is a tool and is neither good or bad. The people using it on the other hand...
Not to start anything, but this is why I am generally amused by the term "Computer Ethics". Computers are simply a tool; there might as well be something called "Blender Ethics". The real issue is simply "Ethics", which I fear some are lacking.
