February, 2012 While none of these next movies depicts the true motions of computer hacking, most of these stories are memorable in some way. Most of these hacker movies are good escapist fun involving robbery capers or virtual reality conflicts. Some are visually stunning. A few of these movies are even powerful social commentaries. No, you won't learn secret root command lines or packet sniffing techniques by renting these films, folks .

There are quite a few people who have realised that smartphones, tablets and e-book readers are a great way to store and read technical manuals. It’s not just that these books are not taking up room on the desk. It’s also the fact that they’re on hand when you need to refer to them and easy to get stuck into when you find yourself with an hour spare and realise you could spend a little time learning something useful.

The Smurfs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Smurfs ( French : Les Schtroumpfs ) is a comic and television franchise centered on a group of small blue fictional creatures called Smurfs, created and first introduced as a series of comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo (pen name of Pierre Culliford) on October 23, 1958. The original term and the accompanying language came during a meal Peyo was having with his colleague and friend André Franquin at the Belgian Coast. Having momentarily forgotten the word "salt", Peyo asked him (in French) to pass the schtroumpf . Franquin jokingly replied: "Here's the Schtroumpf —when you are done schtroumpfing, schtroumpf it back..." and the two spent the rest of that weekend speaking in " schtroumpf language". [ 3 ] The name was later translated into Dutch as Smurf, which was adopted in English. [ edit ] Johan et Piwit
Endicott , a Human male lieutenant of the Imperial Navy , served aboard the second Death Star battlestation as a docking bay technician by 4 ABY , a position he received after graduating third in his class from the prestigious Imperial Academy of Carida . Endicott oversaw the unexpected arrival of the Dark Lord Darth Vader's personal shuttle aboard the Death Star shortly before the Battle of Endor . He served in the Death Star's control room alongside battlestation commander Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod during the battle, witnessing the initial use of the Death Star's superlaser upon the attacking starships of the Rebel Alliance Fleet , and later relayed Jerjerrod's final command to use the Death Star to destroy the Forest Moon of Endor near the battle's climax, an order never carried out before the Death Star's own destruction.

Memory Alpha - The Star Trek Wiki

http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Portal:Main The counter-insurgency program was a security measure designed for a hypothetical revolt by Bajoran laborers aboard Terok Nor. It was installed by its commanding officer, then-Gul Dukat during the Occupation of Bajor because the Bajorans far outnumbered their Cardassian overseers. The program was designed so Dukat and his fellow Cardassian officers could interact with and control it, but if necessary, it could run independently. To ensure smooth operation, the program had several levels of severity to allow it to deal with a variety of scenarios, the focus being a revolt by laborers in ore processing.

Over the summer, NPR solicited the input of its listeners to rank the top science fiction and fantasy books of all time. Over 60,000 people voted for the top picks which were then compiled into a list by their panel of experts. The result? This list of 100 books with a wide range of styles, little context, and absolutely no pithy commentary to help readers actually choose something to read from it. We at SF Signal have, once again , come to the rescue. This flowchart is designed to help you follow your tastes, provide context, and fulfill (indeed exceed!)

One of the harshest records of its time, Dedicated to Peter Kurten is in my mind Whitehouse's very best album. Recorded in the same year (1981) as the groundbreaking Erector, this takes the bands harshness from that great album and increases it (in addition to adding strange sounds of water pouring?). The album starts off with the great "Ripper Territory", which is primarily a sample of a man reporting on capture of infamous "Yorkshire Ripper" Peter Sutcliffe played over the bands signature electronic noise. The album doesn't let up after this however.
