Sunspots 382

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:

Science: The Atlantic has posted a page of 16 spectacular images, not widely released previously, from the Hubble telescope.

Wired reports that males of a species of snail take care of many developing young snails that aren't their own offspring.

Sports: In case you didn't know, and I certainly didn't, Wired tells us that there's competitive bog snorkeling.

Politics: Heart, Mind and Soul reports on how the KGB sowed discord in the US.

Computing: You've heard of software bugs, surely. Well, Wired tells us that there are hardware bugs, too.

Thanks for the link.

If you're interested in things like that, you might enjoy Kalugin's book. Though that book should carry an equivalent of a strong "R" rating on its cover, possibly even NC-17. The assassinations were few and far between. The blackmail material was particularly disturbing reading. Too often the KGB didn't have to do anything to turn a U.S. agent to their side other than find out how they had already brought about their own downfall, but hadn't been caught yet ...

Take care & God bless

Thanks.

In other words, catching them in their own sin. Too bad, but not exactly a surprise.
