Use your USB Flash Drive to Lock Your Computer
 |
| Link to Application Here. |
"You can lock and unlock your computer with a physical device, pretty much like they do in the movies. Use the free PREDATOR application, which turns a USB flash drive into an access control device – a key for your computer. When you leave your PC, unplug the USB stick and your computer will be locked. When you return, plug it back in and your computer will be unlocked. It's like using the Lock function in Windows, but you don't have to type your password when you return. When you unplug your USB flash drive, your open windows will minimize and your screen will go dark – plug it back in and your screen will turn back on."

Every Human on Earth in the Grand Canyon
A morbid way to look at our total population, and the fact that we could probably survive without overcrowding certain areas. That is, if we spread out over the land...
but who doesn't like living in the city?

CORONA Finds 10,000 Lost Cities and Ruins
"CORONA was the code name for the United States' first photographic spy satellite mission. For 12 years, it brought back intelligence on the USSR, China, and the Middle East. But that wasn't all its grainy, black and white images captured—it turns out it also caught an incredible number of undiscovered ancient settlements."

Ice Cold Star Discovered.
Very interesting. Considering the our sun is 4.6byo and this is already in its cooling cycle... I wonder if theres a way to gauge its age and see its life span.
"astronomer Kevin Luhman noticed that WISE J085510.83-071442.5 was very red and very faint...partly because it is small—perhaps only 2 to 10 times the mass of Jupiter—and partly because it is so cold. It's temperature, Luhman found, is only about 9° F (-13° C). That's well below the freezing point of water. In other words, the brown dwarf is literally ice cold. The fact that it is so cold is a clue to its age. If it started out at a few thousand degrees it would have taken somewhere between 1 and 10 billion years to have cooled to its present temperature."-link to article here.

Apples Contain DPA, Something to look out for...
Interesting, I wish I knew what to look out for, maybe a certain local variety would be okay? Just my food for thought.
"According to EWG, in 2010, when the US Department of Agriculture last looked for DPA residues on US-grown apples, it found them on 80 percent of samples."
"DPA isn't believed to be harmful on its own. But it has the potential to break down into a family of carcinogens called nitrosamines—not something you want to find on your daily apple."-Link to article here.

Silicon Valley in Center of Terrible Drought
"For the first time in the 15-year history of the monitor, 100% of California is experiencing "moderate" to "exceptional" drought. A majority of the state (77%) is experiencing "extreme" to "exceptional" drought, which are the two most severe categories. That was up nearly 10 percentage points compared to just one week ago.-link to article here.
The worst drought category now extends across all of Silicon Valley and Monterey County, where water managers are announcing cutbacks to summertime water deliveries, and are putting in place water restrictions that could impact everyone from individual households to high-tech manufacturers of computer chips."

Throw away Expired pills with Kitty Litter, Says FDA
"According to the FDA, flushing is a no-no; proper protocol is mixing them with kitty litter before bagging them up and throwing them out.
Well, actually, the agency recommends kitty litter, coffee grounds, or any "undesirable substance." That seems… weird. Right? For a second I (very foolishly) thought—whoa, do those somehow neutralize the medicine's effect? Duh. No (idiot). But it will potentially put off kids and pets and anyone scrounging through your garbage looking for goodies."
