Nasa is a major player in space science, so when a team from the agency this week presents evidence that "impossible" microwave thrusters seem to work, something strange is definitely going on. Either the results are completely wrong, or Nasa has confirmed a major breakthrough in space propulsion. A microwave-based propulsion system? I think the lunch area is about to get more interesting

You have a bunch of astronauts on treadmills, see? And this microwave, OK? And in the microwave are Hot Pockets. So the astronauts are racing each other to get the Hot Pockets from the microwave...

Unlike the mostly standards-based ‘desktop' web, many modern mobile web pages were designed and built for iOS and the iPhone. This results in users of other devices often receiving a degraded experience. Short version: many developers suck at browser detection (and really, why are we still doing this?)

No, thanks. I might be able to read the screen, but I couldn't read the keyboard, my notes, the phone keypad...
I'd constantly be putting my glasses on and off.

-7?! Do you have to have a white key on your keyboard at that level?

What seems more interesting to me is the possibility of adjusting the display to legally-blind-and-with-lots-of-weird-problems, donning a pair of glasses that inflict the same problems; and being able to use a nearly impossible to shoulder surf laptop in public.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This is not your grandmother's Java. Despite hanging around since 1995, Java is the programming language that keeps on giving. In fact, in a recent jobs report, Dice.com named Java one of the top five languages to know if you want a programming job in 2015. "There's no accounting for taste"

That alone is a good enough reason to avoid Java, particularly on the client.
(Of course, the fact that most remote exploits on Windows nowadays relate to Java and Flash is another).

US law can apply anywhere in the world, so long as a technology company has control over foreign data, a court rules. Good news for local email providers

Since they're all already playing shell games with oversees subsidiaries to outsmart the taxman, I wonder if they could do the same to tell the courts to pound sand. Create a new company called Not in America Datacenters; headquarter it in the EU, and then give it ownership of all non US datacenters and have it lock the US staff out. Since NAD wouldn't have any presence in the US it would be out of jurisdiction from our courts; and when they tried to pressure staff at the US headquarters to get data they'd just get giant access-denied errors.
