Building a Homemade Nuclear Reactor In NYC 219

yukk writes "Mark Suppes, a web developer for Gucci, is working on his own personal fusion reactor. His work in a NYC warehouse using $35,000 of his own money and $4,000 raised on a website has made him the 38th independent researcher recognized as creating a working fusion reactor. How's that for a hobby?"

Son Sues Mother Over Facebook Posts 428

Most kids hate having their parents join in on a discussion on Facebook, but one 16-year-old in Arkansas hates it so much he has filed suit against his mother, charging her with harassment. From the article: "An Arkadelphia mother is charged with harassment for making entries on her son's Facebook page. Denise New's 16-year-old son filed charges against her last month and requested a no-contact order after he claims she posted slanderous entries about him on the social networking site. New says she was just trying to monitor what he was posting." Seems like he could just unfriend her.

Certain parts of the network go further than that. My parents have fibre optic all the way to a small box on the side of their house. From there it's then coaxial cable into the house.
I thought originally that fibre wasn't allowed to go into the home as there were safety concerns that people may damage their eyesight from staring into the cables to see the laser light. Not sure if this is still the case or not.
Unfortunately I'm in the newer part of town which doesn't have cable, so I'm stuck with my 8Mbps ADSL connection.
