Check out "Riddley Walker." It takes place in a devolved post-apocalyptic England where the folk mythology is an echo of everything lost from the information and nuclear ages, and it's utterly haunting. (I'd recommend it

Looks like you can't pass EC2 user-data to a launch config either, which is frustrating (I'm sure that'll be rapidly fixed, though): http://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/launch_conf

One narrow use case would be textbook shopping. I don't understand the underlying reasons, but the prices of textbooks between e.g. Canada and the UK can be substantial, and more than enough to justify shipping overseas.

Does anyone here work for a wireless service provider? It would be interesting to hear how major sources of interference are identified and dealt with.

I wonder if there's RSI implications when hands-off-keyboard gestures are used more than sparingly.

One would hope so. "Command And Control" is worth a read; it reviews the history of nuclear weapons, focusing mostly on their safety record. (Spoiler alert: it's bad.) http://www.amazon.com/Command-Control-Dam

Procedural storytelling is something I would LOVE to learn more about. Are there any resources you've found particularly helpful or interesting?

On a related note: many colour printers leave a tiny encoded pattern on each page (based on model/serial/etc), ostensibly to help track counterfeiters. [1] [2] Unfortunately, they're printed all the time. [1] https:/&#x

That comparison is valid only if you have data demonstrating that the TSA has successfully deterred/foiled aviation terror plots. If you have that data (which I'd love to see), there are still powerful arguments that TSA funding w
