andrewducker- This is an amazing network debugging story.
You know, sometimes I am amazed anything works at all. When you consider how many steps are involved in going from me pressing a key on my keyboard to me seeing a response from the other side of the planet...
- A police officer's opinion on airport security. (Pretty much matches mine)
- I.B.M. Reports Nanotube Chip Breakthrough. (Not coming soon, but Moore's Law not running out this decade)
- Frog Fractions - quite the most unlikely awesome game I've played in ages. Seriously. No, really.
- Bank of England's Andrew Haldane: Occupy played key role in financial reform
- Smoke-free laws led quickly to fewer hospitalizations (15% heart attacks, 16% strokes, 24% asthma)
- The obvious answer to the Living Wage issue.
- Livejournal are attempting suicide. Again.

The largest investors won't care as long as the bank makes them money. The bank won't care as long as they continue to make money. Occupy looks little more than an inconvenience and if the bank makes any concessions for the sake of their image, you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll be raking it in elsewhere.
