Queen granted territory in hyperspace
Queen Elizabeth II has had a symmetrical object in mathematical infinite dimensional hyperspace named after her by a mathematician at Oxford University. Marcus du Sautoy works in the field of hyperspace , part of the study of topology. In hyperspace, all elements are subsets of another topological space. The mathematical contours of the Queen's newly-claimed realm are defined by three numbers -- 1952 (the year of her coronation), 2012 (the year of her diamond jubilee) and 60 (the number of years that she's been on the British throne). Du Sautoy has sent the Queen a certificate that describes these contours

How to Crack a Wi-Fi Network's WPA Password with Reaver
Your Wi-Fi network is your conveniently wireless gateway to the internet, and since you're not keen on sharing your connection with any old hooligan who happens to be walking past your home, you secure your network with a password, right? Knowing, as you might, how easy it is to crack a WEP password , you probably secure your network using the more bulletproof WPA security protocol. Here's the bad news: A new, free, open-source tool called Reaver exploits a security hole in wireless routers and can crack most routers' current passwords with relative ease.Kicksend uses the tried and tested pattern of sending our new users confirmation emails to verify their identity. With that, there will always be emails that aren’t delivered successfully, which we care about a lot. A bounced confirmation email means that our new user wouldn’t have been able to activate their account. So they’ll either have to either sign up for a new account, or contact us to change their email address. These are steps we don’t want to put any user through. So we recorded and setup detailed notifications for every email bounce, to make sure that we are always aware of what’s happening (thanks Mailgun !).
