Never underestimate the stupidity of the American public. According
to a new poll 1/3 of Americans think WMD's have been discovered in Iraq, and 22% think they were actually used by Iraq
during the war. I mean that's just sad. But at least it's semi-understandable with short attention spans and with the media
always going crazy with every new alligation, while the actual truth *cough*mobile-chemical-labs*cough*
gets stuck on page A19. And of course with the incredibly conservative TV media with huge pro-war bias
it's also little suprise that the actual facts get lost in a sea of rhetoric.
Google might be running out of numbers. With almost 4 billion web pages
to search through, each with a unique ID number, it will eventually become too large for a 4-bit int number to hold. Yet another
example of not thinking further into the future, such as with IPv4
addresses running out. Even though IPv4 supports several billion IP addresses, with all the cell phones, appliances, and sheer
people on the internet we're running out of room, so slowly but surely we're switching over to IPv6. Which with 2^127 addresses, means
that every square meter on earth gets 665,570,793,348,866,943,898,599 individual addresses. Don't think that will be running
out anytime soon.
Oh, and here's some belated pictures of dorm life this past semester. I'm gonna miss these guys.
