Stuff for Homework

For more info on the Grand Challenge of securing cyberspace perhaps a simpler problem should be resolved first: Wikipedia, 8/10/2010, 8/31/2010

All random humor out of the way consider the following for homework purposes:

One of the key issues is nuclear terror and clearly the first step in reducing the possibility of such an occurrence comes from stopping the sloughing of thousands of pounds of radioactive (possibly nuclear fissile) material. More and more is appearing in the news about reactors that are designed around this basic premise and (as per usual) the economist does a great job of describing several of these designs.

More after the Jump - Nuclear's Next Generation from Technology Quarterly December of Last year (Yes it is old but very much relevant, Economist does a good job of beating the news curve), Accessed 8/31/2010

My favorite demonstration would have to be seeing the 3d plot of the penny, simply because I used to do all sort of modding for the Elder Scrolls and it looks like they simply made use of a normal map on top of a simple 3d object. This process is very frequently used in Oblivion and other newer games to create a 3d effect from 2d objects.

Personal Quandaries

  • Why does putty keep on giving me a Software Caused Connection Abort error? I have tried a keep alive (of various lengths) as well as using Xterm etc. The error occurs predominantly with emacs and kdvi open at the same time, although just emacs can sometimes make it happen as well. Any ideas? Md122 10:49, 1 September 2010 (EDT)


So long and thanks for all the fish.
