(Via The Daily Nexus) Posted by Chris Nebergall on November 13, 2012 at 10:58 am Whether or not you know anything about “Star Trek,” you’ve probably heard of the warp drive, that fictional technology that can fling a starship light-years away in mere minutes, opening up the universe to our exploration. If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ve got the hyperdrive. It sounds like strict science fiction, and it is, but what if I told you that…

Found on Slashdot: It is probably a criminal offence to defy the mighty TSA. If everyone were to do that, where would that lead the world?

As found on tnmoc.org: The 61 year old computer that refuses to retire After a three-year restoration project at The National Museum of Computing, the Harwell Dekatron (aka WITCH) computer will rebooted on 20 November 2012 to become the world's oldest original working digital computer.

If all else fails, maybe a few rides in your car-elevator can lift your spirits. Do you now really leave US politics as you said you would? Or will you change your mind about that?

DNA: The Ultimate Hard Drive ENLARGE IMAGE When it comes to storing information, hard drives don't hold a candle to DNA. Our genetic code packs billions of gigabytes into a single gram. A mere milligram of the molecule could encode the complete text of every book in the Library of Congress and have plenty of room to spare. All of this has been mostly theoretical—until now.
