“By the time the research project [spearheaded by the University of Illinois 'to make certain that the smart meters and other devices implemented by power companies can resist hackers and other attackers'] is completed, most of the nation will have already adopted untested and unsecured technologies.” (extra super bonus: Richard Clarke identifies Brazil as a location where hackers took down a power grid recently)

“a single [31 GeV] photon produced by the gamma-ray burst GRB 090510″ indicates that “if there is a quantum influence on the speed of light, it can only operate at distances of less than 1.2 times the Planck length”

Relating the asymptotic bound simultaneously optimizing transmission rate and relative minimum distance of error-correcting codes to phase diagrams of quantum statistical mechanical systems
