I think he's planning on running for the Las Vegas City Council. (Hey, two weeks ago, Nevada voters elected Republican brothel owner Dennis Hof to th... more »

*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * While the Raptor would be the most formidable fighter in the world due to its raw performance even without stealth, it’s now clear to me that even the F-35 with its mediocre kinematic performance will be an extremely dangerous foe in the air due to its low radar cross-section and sensors. *“Even if you were in an Eagle or J-20...

History is filled with lonely, alienated misfits acting out in the public square-- sometimes with dire consequences. 19 year old Gavrilo Princip came from a desperately poor peasant family in Bosnia, lived alone in Sarajevo, joined violent fanatic groups, got expelled from school and assassinated the heir to the Austrian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, setting off a chain of events which led to the biggest deal in world history 'til then: World War I which, in turn, led to the deaths of tens of millions of people, the collapse of political stability throughout the world and, ev... more »

Her cards took a detour

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 5 hours ago
When the mail arrived today I looked through it and pulled out a Christmas catalog to throw away. But it felt a little thick, so I opened it, and inside were two cards addressed in red to two families in Pennsylvania, from a family in Aspinwall, Pennsylvania, a borough in the Pittsburgh metro area with hockey player forever stamps not cancelled. So I figured that somehow those cards got pushed inside a catalog addressed to us along the way from Pittsburgh. There was a return address so I sat down and wrote a note to the sender telling her that her cards had made a detour to Co... more »

3-D Printer Body Armor is Great for the U.S. Army—and Terrorists

Michael Peck at Test Feed Using Fields - 7 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * [image: Flickr / The U.S. Army] Well, this can't be good. U.S. Army researchers have devised a method to produce ceramic body armor, lightweight but strong, from a 3-D printer. Except that 3-D printers are meant to print out knickknacks, not flak jackets. Which meant that engineers had to hack into the printer to get the job done. Ceramic armor, light but hard, provides great protection but can also be difficult to manufacture, notably in combining materials to create a strong com composite. “For ceramics, that’s a bit of a challenge because with you ... more »
