Ars Technica reports the spam oriented ISP McColo has been grounded due to some great work by The Washington’s Post Security Fix blog team. This data from SpamCop shows it had a big effect. Who knows how long it will last though.

Using the Keck and Gemini telescopes (located on top of Mauna Kea, Hawaii), astronomers have imaged not one, but three planets in orbit around the star HR8799, 140 light years distant. That such an image could be captured with ground-based telescopes is a tribute to the adaptive optics that can compensate for atmospheric blurring. Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory had a hand in developing the original adaptive optics used on the Keck telescope. Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage used to say, “Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggy’ while looking for a stick.” TIME.com reports that president-elect Obama is already being tested by foreign powers. He is clearly quite skilled at the ‘nice doggy’ part. It remains to be seen if he can find a stick and demonstrate he knows how to use it. |
