A group of aurora enthusiasts have found a new type of light in the night sky and named it Steve. At least it's better than Aurora McAuroraface

Astronomers with ridiculously high budgets replied: Hey, look, how are supposed to actually find anything, when we spend all out time making pretty pictures wit photoshop?
He's not asking me, is he?
Is he asking me?
Well, OK, but he must know that his stars don't favour asking me.

Cohort study that doesn’t look at causation has some odd results. Breaking news: everything is bad for you
Saliva causes cancer, but only if swallowed in small quantities, over a long period of time.

It's hardly surprising.
You have to be nutty as a fruit cake in the first place, to drink that swill.

Did script kiddies use DoublePulsar code released by NSA-leaking Shadow Brokers? Funny thing about doors: you can't control who uses them
Well, most doors. I'm sure Ray Manzarek controls The Doors these days.

Making a demo in just 256 bytes would be a formidable challenge regardless of platform. A Mind Is Born is my attempt to do it on the Commodore 64. I don't think I could save a file with 256 bytes, let alone get it to do anything

I'd go with "boggled", rather than "born".

This guy is clearly the brainiac to end all brainiacs, or as an anonymous poster so eloquently puts it: "this s**t is gangster as f**k."
Ah! The internet! All of human life is there ...
Slogans aren't solutions.

Awesome - it's been far too long since I last saw demos getting some love here at CP.
Poeut.net is the place to hang around if you love 'em and arguably, Farbrausch is one of the premier groups. Future Crew, TRSI and others all come to mind as being stalwarts of the craft, but the 'Debris' demo from Farbrausch still melts my head - that's an awful lot to pack into just 96kb. Looking at their content-creation tool Werkzeug helps explain just how such a feat is managed.
If music is more your thing than graphics/physics, then you can hardly go past the amazing work done by Blueberry / Loonies in the CLINKSTER synth. 3.5 minutes of 48k stereo music can fit into an .exe file of just 2,838 bytes - it's craaazy.
I look back at my bump-mapped rotozoomer from the 90s that comes complete with a 3d particle system (but no music) and laugh that it needed some 5kb - clearly these guys have a little more nous in the compression game than I had as a teenager! The 'crinkler' compressing linker is a thing of beauty and truly something to behold - you can easily create a dialog-based app that weighs in at under 1kb on disk.
If you've not walked the path towards demos, you've not lived!!!

Several major banks don't use case-sensitive passwords. What's the worst that could happen?

Hope they don't store it "ASCII encrypted"...

If that doesn't decrypt to "FIREFLY RULES!", you might as well hand in your CP membership card, on your way out.

Firefly does rule. Shame it never got to really finish.

Last August, short-selling firm Muddy Waters and its business partner, security company MedSec Holdings, released a set of scathing and hotly contested findings. The report said St. Jude Medical's pacemakers and implantable heart devices have critical security flaws. Have they no heart?

They had something similar at a place I worked at a few years back.
I guessed the local admin password (took two guesses) so that I could turn my account into an admin account, specifically to uninstall it.

Elon Musk has been working on a Neuralink, a human-computer brain interface company, in whatever spare moments he has between running Tesla and also running SpaceX. I'm thinking of his likelihood of success. Can you read my mind?

Based on history?
Something will blow up or crash, and it will be seen as a success.

If it works with Elon, will it work on me? I don't have hair plugs.

A software developer is someone who does not create an unreadable blog post by allowing embedded tweets that results in a reading nightmare.
