Well this year I decided to take the paper exercise, online. I have used survey monkey and even Glow in the past but this year I though I would give Google forms a try.

Its always handy if you have a scanning electron microscope in your room.
Microprocessors are small, but its not until you get them under a microscope that you find out how small.
China has now got the fastest computer on the planet according to the top 500 list.
These super computers are custom built to allow organisations to carry out research that requires a large amount of maths. They often cost hundreds of thousands of pounds and are well used. However, there is another way to create a super computer on the cheap and that is called clustering. A cluster is a network of computers that share processing between them. Software (often free) allows clusters to be created by home and school users. There is even a competition to find the best one, here is view of what is like to compete.
This story hit The Register today. An ex-employee planted a program called a logic bomb that would remove data from a companies server on a pre-programed date. What is most striking about the story is number of servers that could have been effected 5,000! That would have taken a lot of work hours to bring them all back on line.
Its not the first time that a company has been effected, a previous logic bomb effected over a 1,000 machines when it went undetected.
The moral here is have a backup but also make sure that only approved people have access to your sensitive information.
The internet is not totally connected with satellites a most of the traffic goes the old way, under the sea.
