A reverse engineering challenge is coming. The goal is to figure out what the program does, how it can be stopped (it's a worm or virus), and even what kind of person wrote it. The program can be picked up at project.honeynet.org next week.

Scientists have discovered a method to make a cool tungsten light, up to 60% efficient, a bit of an improvement over the 5% they now enjoy. A former co-worker once determined that people with electric heat ought to just leave their lights on during the winter, since most of the energy is lost in heat which would have to be generated by the electric baseboards anyways. If you are interested in an extensive discussion of the merits of light bulb and LED efficiencies be sure to visit Don Klipstein. Don provides a wealth of LED information.
