    ... and on students as well, who should actually know better!

    For me it is not a surprising result at all that criminals cooperate more than students. The former are partners in crime, united by being "against the system". The latter are nothing more than competitors of each other at the job market. On a side note, the majority of the students doesn't *know*, they *memorise*. There is a difference. I recommend "Celda 211". Good movie on the topic.

    Did the theoretical payoff matrix take into account what happens when you next encounter the person you cheated out of their coffee/cigarettes?

    Yeah I remember this comic was tough to hack... With Click and Drag it was peanuts to download all the tiles once you figured out the file name pattern, but with this one some strange server-side event thing was used to feed the images at random time intervals... Nice to be able to see it all finally!

    Interesting to see that almost everything in sci-fi that looks pretty cool requires a power source that has not been invented yet. Imagine what would be possible if you would have a table top high power source available.

    The telepathic cyborg lives, sort of. University of Washington scientists Rajesh Rao and Andrea Stocco claim that they are the first to demonstrate human brain-to-brain communication. Rao sent a signal into a Stocco's brain via the Internet that caused him to move his right hand.

    On a lighter note: Decades after NASA's Apollo missions, people are having some laughs over transcripts of astronauts' humorous conversations aboard the spacecraft. For all their technological sophistication, the Apollo command module had a relatively primitive system for managing human waste.
