Can you guess I'm back at college again, with no updates for 5 days. All
well.
Does anyone else think it's incredibly dumb that such a fuss has been made about
Prince Henry
smoking some weed and getting drunk? Sure its' illegal, and while I disapprove
of drugs, millions of teenagers have done the exact same stuff as Henry, but
they do not get near the publicity. It seems as though the media is treating
this like the first time anyone has ever tried marijuana or drank alcohol under
the legal age. Oh say it isn't so! Sure I think what Prince Henry did was wrong,
but I don't think it deserves the huge media frenzy that it has been given.
Guess that's mass media for ya.
Those documents you think are deleted may not be
trully deleted at all. Due to the way operating systems work, when you
delete something, it only deletes the link to that spot on the hard drive, the
actual file is still there. The government is hoping that advancements in data
recovery will be helpful in the Enron scandel, to try and recover the deleted
documents.
NASA is researching anti-matter engines to power spacecraft in the future. Currently it is far
too expensive and time consuming ("one billionth of a gram a year is produced at
a cost of $80 million"). to use anti-matter engines, but it is hoped
that future breakthroughs will help solve current problems. Science fiction is
once again hitting reality.
