Why was I thinking Hamster Dance when I read this?
It's nice to see somebody trying to do something without big pharma trying to rape us for billions in R&D for anything it seems nowadays.
Pfft yeah, I'm really worried. The one good thing about having episodes like Sony's hack is the fact that forensically they can be studied by the experts and the exploits eventually fixed. That'll put the SOBs like VUPEN out of business and we'll all be able to get on with our lives. As for critical infrastructure, again why aren't there air gaps between control systems and the Internet? That's fucking stupid and if any utility, pipeline operator or other critical infrastructure provider (FAA et al.) is compromised then whoever decided that was a good idea should be taken to the Mall in DC and put in the Stocks for about six weeks. The only thing I ask is that I have the rotten tomato concession.
Maybe Verizon finally disconnected Kim's FIOS?
Give it a couple of years and if the market is big enough somebody will come up with a refill method, just like printer cartridges. I just hope they don't confuse ink with sanitizer though.
Yeah, I think the Patent Lawyers win again, at least whoever wrote up the patent application and submitted it for them. Rule #2 of Econ 101, Lawyers always get paid.
Beer usually creates more problems than it solves.
don't remind me. I had to get rid of two cokes I bought at a place next to my gate at Shipol in October. I bought them so I'd have something for the flight. Talk about retarded security! People think the TSA can be bad but try a bunch of no-nothing subcontractors overseas trying to interpret the latest panic directives.
At Hartsfield (ATL) there was a display of items people have tried to bring onto planes. It includes lawnmowers, chainsaws, gas cans and all kinds of stuff. I don't know if it's still there or not but it was mind blowing.
After Challenger, the House Ways and Means Committee basically forced the ASRM onto NASA even though they didn't need it. Billions were spent on the Yellow Creek facility because of one congressman, Jamie Whitten, and it's now abandoned. Pork-barrel politics has been around since well, politics but that doesn't mean we have to like it or put up with the system that enables it.
Materials and Process Scientist and Engineers will continually evolve the processes making it more cost effective. As for the "hype" about Graphine why are companies jumping on-board to manufacture it? Much like industrial and gemstone quality diamonds, or even Carbon Fiber, eventually a process will be found and Graphine will find more uses because it'll be less expensive.
Tata Motors owns both Jaguar and Land Rover, so Tata Motors has invented.. or Jaguar and Land Rover, divisions of Tata Motors
Those are trophies. I'm asking if there's a statue of a horse's rear! Maybe the Assange statue will be the first one?
I did find this however: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wpyK... It's close but not quite right.
I don't think there's a statue of a horse's ass anywhere.
