Ash: i've seen the fucktard with the stars on his head in real life, talk about hideous
rovar: EXTREME BODY MODIFICATION! IT'S EXTREEEEEME!!!
Ash: extremely stupid!
Ash: rovar wins!
rovar: correction. "extreme" body modification would be swapping the locations of your left arm and right leg cause you like the look.. this shit is weak.
cryptomail: pretty pictures
cryptomail: wonder if she'll still have that when she's 60 http://ly.lygo.com/ly/wired/news/images/full/bodymod4_f.jpg

Ash: don't have a cow, man

Record set for hottest temperature on Earth

pretender: "Sandia consultant Malcolm Haines theorizes that some unknown energy source is involved" YEAH RIGHT

A New Class of Unsafe Primes (Cryptology ePrint Archive: Report 2002/109)

coderman: "In this paper, a new special-purpose factorization algorithm is presented, which finds a prime factor $p$ of an integer $n $ in polynomial time, if $4p-1$ has the form $d b^2$ where $d \in \{3, 11, 19, 43, 67, 163\}$ and $b$ is an integer. Hence such primes should be avoided when we select the RSA secret keys. Some generalizations of the algorithm are discussed in the paper as well."
coderman: so how general can this be tweaked, and once tweaked are any of the RSA challenge products comprised of weak primes?

Separation of Man and Ape Down to Gene Expression

coderman: "Humans and chimpanzees have in common more than 98 percent of DNA and 99 percent of genes. Yet, in looks and behavior we are very different from them."
coderman: "...used a new technique to examine the genes in the liver cells of four primates: humans, chimpanzees, orangutans and macaques. The researchers were able to compare more than 900 genes for each of the four and assess how they differed in terms of expression."
coderman: "More than half--60 percent--did not vary at all; the researchers found the same levels of mRNA--the molecule that links a gene and the protein it helps build--in all four for most genes. But 19 genes showed significant shifts in expression between humans and apes."
coderman: wow, that's a small percentage of difference (in gene expression) making up the difference between species
coderman: "The finding has implications for medicine as well as evolutionary theory: nine of the 100 most stable genes have been linked to cancer when altered."
Ash: LOL UR AN APE LOL

administration plans to sell federal park timber results in clear cutting of Oregon's Siskiyou National Forest

coderman: wow, wtf
coderman: that takes some guts; even in a state that already hates you.
coderman: "In what the agency now terms "a serious error," its crews somehow misjudged the boundaries of the sale to include part of the preserve." -- OOPS, SORRY THAT OLD GROWTH WAS SO VALUABLE> OUR BAD!
