Univac_1004 writes "Congresswoman Jane Harman has introduced legislation — H.R. 1955: "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism" — which starts: "The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens."

It got 404 votes in the house and a similar bill is likely to pass in the Senate.

Univac_1004 writes "John Kanzius, tried to desalinate seawater with a generator he developed to treat cancer, and it caused a flash in the test tube. Within days, he had the salt water in the test tube burning like a candle, as long as it was exposed to radio frequencies. The only problem was it eventually got hot enough to melt the test tube.
