I wasn't sure at first if they were setting the data by doping the material, but on closer reading
"The engineers manipulated the nanomaterial so the electrons' spin within the material could be controlled, ..."
makes it sound electrically re-writeable. Which is probably the only thing anyone's really interested in,
unless it was super-cheap. (i.e. cheap enough to replace pressed optical discs with ROM USB-storage.)

As bobjr94 hopes, it would be nice if it is that cheap, though, and optical discs are replaced by a standard flash storage standard.

FYI, GNU find has xargs built in these days:

find -name '*.php*' -exec grep func {} +

the + instead of ';' makes it collect up multiple arguments to grep
like xargs instead of the traditional find -exec behaviour which is like xargs -n1. I use -exec {} + all the time, because it's less typing, and safe with
filenames with punctuation or whitespace, so you don't have to type -print0 | xargs -0 either. (BTW, if you have a list of filenames that you processes with something line oriented, you can use xargs -d'\n')

  The "extra" power (Apparent power (Volts * Amps) - real power (actual Watts accounting for phase) is only wasted by the inefficiency of your transmission lines.

  Other people have already explained this in detail in this thread.

  Other than that, good try at explaining this for people who don't already know.

  noexec doesn't stop you from running /lib/ld.so on an ELF binary, or /bin/bash on a shell script. Or whatever interpreter you want, if it's installed.

  Most people who know how to do that also know enough to avoid breaking things. But they might not have the self-discipline to stop playing games. Other than that, yeah, use firewalls and network policy.
