Now he says "There was an overpressure event in the upper stage liquid oxygen tank. Data suggests counterintuitive cause."
"That's all we can say with confidence right now. Will have more to say following a thorough fault tree analysis."

OK, on reviewing, the possibly-dragon I saw detached was not the first sign of trouble (which was how I saw it at the time) but actually happened several seconds into the event. I hadn't realized those clouds of vapour were Not Good.

Thanks for the link.

NASA stream says no information will be forthcoming until a press conference at 12:30 at the earliest.

Elon Musk's twitter says "Falcon 9 experienced a problem shortly before first stage shutdown. Will provide more info as soon as we review the data."

NASA says aircraft will soon be allowed into the area where debris will have fallen.

Several minutes into flight, something that looked possibly like the Dragon capsule detached from the rocket and fell behind it. A few seconds later, the rocket disintegrated into fragments. The commentator on the SpaceX stream wasn't very informative (although their coverage was great up to that point, better than NASA's.)

NASA commentary has just confirmed that the vehicle has failed. (SpaceX have stopped streaming.)

The Feds always look for the most expensive option. They'll end up with pricey battery powered hardware tokens when they could look at cheap Yubikeys.

I'm going to beat the rush and bring my Roomba to the passport office tomorrow morning.

They sat on their asses for years and let all the people involved with the Raspberry Pi do the hard work, scrape up the hard money, and NOW they come along and try to co-opt the hardware with their shitware OS to steal mindshare from users of a platform chartered to support low cost, NO STRINGS ATTACHED, hands on learning about computing? Google at least donated a laughable pittance for 1M USD from their coffers (see http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/...) to the foundation. Microsoft isn't donating shit to support the vision, but is rather gleefully SHITTING ON the vision. Their motives are clearly to just spread 'Windows everywhere' like the syphilitic pestilence it is. New CEO or no, it's damage Linux and promote windows while killing the spirit of Open Source and learning that it is. Same old Microsoft. They can't die out fast enough.

I would love to see the Raspberry Pi foundation come out with a 'not recommended' statement on that bullshit.

As I recall, the first run of LHC was scheduled to run only 6 months out of 12, due to seasonal electricity price differences (although I think they abandoned that to get back on schedule after the catastrophic magnet failure.) Does anyone know if they're really running non-stop for three years, or is there significant down-time that the science reporter didn't know about or glossed over?

Yeah, and also meant my public key.
Derp.

Anyone who encrypts mail to me does it from their own machines. This is for Facebook mail to you. If a user grabs your keys they can also send you mail directly without going through Facebook.

Facebook lets you control your public keys as if it were any other information: public, friends only, etc.

Them having my private key is not a problem. This encrypts email one would normally get. I don't work for Facebook.

What is the problem you are eluding to?

If they have only your public keys, what is the harm in them running a keyserver?

I don't use the gmail web client. I have the a GPG plugin (GPGMail) on my laptop's email and a GPG client (oPenGP) on my iPhone.

There are GPG plugins for the web client but I have not used them.

a) for some things, yes.

b) It's worth encrypting everything. This protects your data not only from the spooks, but from gmail/live/your ISP/whatever free client you may use.
