I saw this posted on reddit this morning and thought that this was the best freaking idea evar! Rick has gracefully endured the Rick-rolling craze and it’s time to pay him back.

Researchers report that a spinal fluid test can be 100 percent accurate in identifying patients with significant memory loss who are on their way to developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Although there has been increasing evidence of the value of this and other tests in finding signs of Alzheimer’s, the study, which will appear Tuesday in the Archives [...]
After reading this, it seems like a shitty time for President Obama to be pissy off the Israelis.
Imagine for a moment what the battlefield will look like in the future. Unmanned planes flying through the air; robots fighting on the ground; smart missiles hunting down targets. Now imagine that none of this can be [...]
A few days ago, I blogged about the effort of Austin Sendek of UC Davis to get the SI people to recognize “Hella” as the nomenclature for 10^24 power. It would seem that some of the nerds over at Google agree!
If you want to find out what 1 hellameter is click here.
Please support the [...]
Sweet.
Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much further than the few hundred meters previously achieved, which brings us closer to transmitting information over long distances without the need for a traditional signal.

The experiments [...]
I think this is pretty fucking cool! In fact, I think it’s HELLAcool!!
I have no idea what the fuck that this “The Official Petition to Establish “Hella-” as the SI Prefix for 10^27” will do or what impact they can possibly have but click the fucking link and show your support.

The geniuses, Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell of Sysinternals (formerly Winternals before bought by Microsoft in 2006) have release a new utility for their suite of fucking awesome utilties.
If you are a sysadmin, then you know about them already. If not, suck it.
Process Explorer and BGinfo are standard on all of my machine images [...]
TL;DR: Kid gets a weeks worth of detention for having a jolly rancher from another student. School loses all common sense. Should be horse whipped.
ORCHARD, Texas – A third-grader at Brazos Elementary was given a week’s detention for possessing a Jolly Rancher.
School officials in Brazos County are defending the seemingly harsh sentence. The [...]
A demo of a quantum calculation carried out by Japanese researchers has yielded some pretty mind-blowing results: a single molecule can perform a complex calculation thousands of times faster than a conventional computer.
A proof-of-principle test run of a discrete Fourier transform — a common calculation using spectral analysis and data compression, among other things — [...]
I don’t know if you have tried to parse an URL yet for some sort of application. You might think it’s a relatively trivial excersize in string parsing. However…take a look at this:
<scheme>://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>;<parameters>?<query>#<fragment>
Here is a tutorial on the structure of an URL and all the characters and parameters that go into constructing one.

Peas in a pod? Evidently it’s true, this US Congressman thinks that Guam is going to capsize. I notices that CBS News posted this on April 1st, so I’m hoping it’s an April Fools Joke but I doubt it.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is raising some eyebrows with a comment he made about the [...]

It’s not going to stop until they control our lives 100%. “They” always know better…
Here is the snip that has my panties in a bunch today: “the Institute of Medicine urged the Food and Drug Administration to start regulating the amount of sodium in foods, since simply telling us to eat less salt hasn’t [...]
If you know anything about Neil Armstrong then you know it’s uncharacteristic for him to speak publicly much, let alone come out with both guns blasting. While I think “blasting” and “rebuke” are a little harsh for what I read of Armstrong’s comments, I came away after reading them with a sense of pride [...]
As loyal readers of The Minority Report know, I stea…uh…quote from Ghacks regularly enough and this morning when I read their tutorial on burning DVD’s using Imgburn I thought I would throw my two cents in.
I use Imageburn almost weekly and it’s never let me down. It’s freaking awesome!! There isn’t too much [...]
This is a blog...of a person...that sucks at writing. Think of it as Techmeme written by a retard...except without all the hugging.
