The British burned down the White House in the War of 1812. They did it in retaliation for the US burning down the Canadian parliament earlier in the war.

iTunes DRM-Free Files Contain Personal Info 693
r2k writes "Apple's iTunes Plus files are DRM-free, but sharing the files on P2P networks may be an extremely bad idea. A report published by CNet highlights the fact that the account information and email address of the iTunes account holder is hidden inside each and every DRM-free download. I checked, and I found I couldn't access the information using an ID3 tag editor, but using Notepad I found my email address stored inside the audio file itself."

I RTFA and did not find how the battery actually produces power - is it with a typical steam turbine, or some novel new system? The compact size of the battery also raises some interesting engineering problems. The one I am most interested is shielding - if there is not enough shielding between the reactor and the cooling parts, the radiation will corrode the parts to the point of failure, which is bad especially underground. It does make a lot of sense to use this for remote outposts like mining though.

Not a problem with the Far Cry 2 PC port - it creates a new save file every time you hit the quicksave key. I discovered this when my quicksave button didn't work any more, apparently because my save folder was ~3.5 gigs with ~600 quicksaves in it. I did take the chance to go back a few saves.
