POPSThePlanet.com : new orbit passwords sent via plaintext email? Another concern as you’re working on orbit that I’d like to see improved: If you request your password via the forgot password link in the new billing manager, even when you enter your username to send it to, the new orbit sends both your username and password in a plaintext email.

POPS"Supercomputers could revolutionize science more profoundly than at any time since Galileo" Supercomputing has made huge advances over the last decade or so, gradually packing on the ability to handle more and more data points in increasingly complex ways. It has enabled scientists to test theories, design experiments and predict outcomes as never before. But now, the new class of petaflop-scale machines is poised to bring about major qualitative changes in the way science is done. "The new capability allows you to do fundamentally new physics and tackle new problems," said Thomas Zacharia, who heads up computer science at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee"And it will accelerate the transition from basic research to applied technology

POPSNew Spin Record Set: 1 Million rpm The new motor could be applied for faster drills and more efficient and compact compressors for cars and airplanes. The trend towards increasingly smaller cell phones and other teensy electronic devices means ever smaller holes must be drilled to make them, and that requires higher rotational speeds, the researchers said. "Our findings will rapidly be converted into concrete applications and products," said Johann Kolar, one of the researchers involved in the feat.

POPSFrom The Department of "As If" Uncanny. Maybe I should go back and look through that victory speech for other tea leaves. And back in Iraq: Some military leaders remain wary of Obama's pledge to order a steady withdrawal of combat forces from Iraq, to be completed within 16 months -- an order advisers say Obama is likely to give in his first weeks in office. Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has called a withdrawal timeline "dangerous." Others are distrustful of a new administration they see as unschooled in the counterinsurgency wars that have consumed the military for the past seven years. Gosh - a very public order to commence withdrawals followed by very quiet back-pedaling as conditions are evaluated and re-evaluated would be awfully cynical and manipulative, wouldn't it? On the other hand, Obama has said a million times that we must be as responsible in leaving Iraq as we were careless in entering, . .

POPSThe Time to Beg is Over...The Time to Fight is Now! (PDF) New Flyer PROTEST OUTREACH FLYER From the Modesto Anarchist Crew - "New outreach flyer for those going out to protests, street battles, and roving occupations of public space against the passing of Proposition 8. Please print out, share, copy, discuss, give feedback, and use as organizing tools." "We don't and never have lived in a 'democratic society'-- we live in a class society. We live in a society of order givers and order takers, of bosses and bossed and rich and poor. The same group of thugs and lairs that claim to represent us, tries to to restrict OUR freedom to love, be with and sleep with whom we choose. These politicians pump up the fear."

POPSProp 8: not a sign of the future, but the "last gasp of a fringe movement" More: On the front page of the New York Times today, reporters Jesse McKinley and Laurie Goodstein assert that the success of anti-gay marriage iniatives in California, Arizona and Florida has “ignited a debate about whether the movement to expand the rights of same-sex couples had hit a cultural brick wall.” That, frankly, is ridiculous. Here's why: … Therefore, this week’s victories for the religious right in California, Arizona and Florida are really the last gasp of a fringe movement trying to forestall the inevitable, rather than proof of a new “cultural brick wall.”

POPSBut They Are Not The First To Fake The New York Times Other headlines declared that the "Maximum Wage Law Succeeds," "Nationalised Oil to Fund Climate Change Efforts" and "Nation Sets Its Sights On Building Sane Economy." There is also a full page fake advertisement on page three from the world's largest publicly traded oil company Exxon Mobil saying the company applauded the end of the Iraq war and that peace is "an idea the world can profit from". In a pamphlet handed out to volunteers when they picked up copies of the newspaper to distribute there was a "Frequently Asked Questions" section. In response to "who made this?" it said: "Who knows? Rumors are it's a group of writers from several mainstream dailies - including The New York Times." The Yes Men, who were the subject of a book and documentary in 2004, have pulled off pranks including posing as Exxon Mobil and National Petroleum Council representatives to deliver a speech at a Canadian oil conference.

POPSGoogle Follows Flu Trends by your Key Stroaks There is a new common symptom of the flu, in addition to the usual aches, coughs, fevers and sore throats. Turns out a lot of ailing Americans enter phrases like “flu symptoms” into Google and other search engines before they call their doctors. That simple act, multiplied across millions of keyboards in homes around the country, has given rise to a new early warning system for fast-spreading flu outbreaks, called Google Flu Trends.
