A partial quote that summarizes the point clearly:

"The intensely personal and uniquely pervasive sphere of privacy in our personal computers requires protection that is clear, practical and effective. An overly complicated template, such as the one proposed by the majority, does not ensure sufficient protection. Only judicial pre-authorization can provide the effective and impartial balancing of the state’s law enforcement objectives with the privacy interests in our personal computers. Thus, I conclude that the police must obtain a warrant before they can search an arrested person’s phone or other personal digital communications device. "

How is a third of the speed of light considered "close to the speed of light"?

I had to go back and check because you made me doubt myself. As stated in the article:

“As the yeast becomes more unique over time it contributes those characteristics to the flavour and the character of the beer, so potentially this is different than yeast used anywhere else,” said Wall.

“It’s been pretty much separated from mixing with any other yeast and is kept alive, so each batch you keep a little bit and use it in the next and it grows up more, the same thing can be done traditionally in a bakery.”

David Thiessen, a student from SIAST’s bioscience technology program, is using DNA techniques to characterize the genetic identity of GWBC’s proprietary yeast culture.

“Then they will see how close a match it is to an existing strain at yeast banks,” said Fuller.

I am by no means an expert. I have never made beer myself but have friends that take it very seriously. It's possible to start with a commercial strain and have it evolve into something your own.

Maybe this was a better link to post, although I found the first one more interesting:

The summary reminded me of this prophetic gem: http://www.theonion.com/articl...

From my understanding, the most successful breweries are not as concerned about their recipes being stolen because they have a proprietary yeast strain that they own and no one else can get.

I had to look it up, interesting rook sac - http://www.chessgames.com/perl...

Huh, check out this little tidbit from the charter:

" There is a limit of 100,000 lines of code for all time, not including
applications and demos. Code comments count, however. 3rd party libraries are
banned because they circumvent the intent of this limit. The vision is a
Commodore 64 ROM -- a fixed core API that is the only dependency of
applications. Currently, there are 80,668 lines of code."

Sorry wrong link, I was thinking of Borislav Ivanov: http://www.chessgames.com/perl...

I don't play video games but I'm an obsessed chess fan. There was recently a scandal with a player being banned for cheating. They never found the device, but it was assumed he was using a computer to help him win tournaments (and money).

Actually I have invented things more useful than this 8th grade science experiment. But go ahead and assume whatever you want about me, as you did with this article.

Well based on the summary, I'm at least intrigued. I know personally I could use a refresher on it, especially with the recent vulnerabilities made public.

What happens if the investments in fossil fuel companies turn out the be the most profitable and the school loses money?
