A few paragraphs about the latest Arduino developments and then a single paragraph bolted on the end talking about vulnerabilities in industrial control systems and healthcare environments. What's the link between the two?

Seven Billion is about two Billion too much, a fact that Pope Benedict should bear in mind the next time he speaks against contraception. Still, I don't suppose he will ever go hungry or thirsty.

Not on the list but here's why I'll never buy anything Sony ever again. Three years ago I purchased a Vaio notebook and within six months the letters had started to wear off of the keyboard, the battery had failed and the DVD writer could only read disks. Sony refused to honor the warranty because I had wiped the hard drive and installed a Linux distro, they regarded it as an 'unauthorized modification'.

Friends don't let friends buy Sony.

OK, so I'm living on the outskirts of an Eastern European city but I've still made some preparations:

Backups of all data held off-site
Fully charged laptop battery always available (I rotate them)
Passport and all essential documents all kept in one safe place
Working torch where I can find it
Box of tinned food and 25 Liters of water in the basement along with a torch and tent
Cellphone always kept charged and a spare SIM in case our local carrier goes titsup

Five minutes warning of the big one and I can be out of here.

Hands up if you've watched a Betty Boop movie in the last decade.

So long as PJ continues to censor posts she doesn't like the site has limited value.

Retired at fifty, you young folk keep working whilst I take it easy (and get off my lawn).

Turned on the computer and smelled smoke. The NIC had released its magic smoke and was dead after that.

Stargate Universe in Hungarian loses some impact, so does CSI Crime Scene Investigation. I therefore download episodes as they are shown and watch them in English. OK, so I am a pirate, but I can't see how MGM or CBS lose out here?

The picnic was rained off but hundreds of us did form a big '42' in Moscow Square and then move on to Millennium Park for 42 science experiments.

I do research into high IP3 HF receiver front ends, other radio hams are working with software defined radios, recovering digital signals from noise, DSP chips and even the way the brain perceives sound.

Retired at fifty. Take note, this is what happens when you save for your retirement.
