Depends on who the Russian is; is she a spy and does she go by the name of Natasha?

... where is all the spam?
Even on Sundays, we normally get several posts an hour - but S'n'A's last report was nearly a whole day ago ... 
Do spammers have holidays?

Well they wouldn't want you messing up their conference.

Well, one of them left early!

It's university holiday season, and spammers don't like using their own computers to "do their business"* -- they could get caught, that way.

So the IA guys that run the Fortify scans are miffed. It seems that they’re upset because they asked if our apps use connections strings, and we told them yes. They demanded that we tell them where they were because they couldn’t find them in the web.config files. When they asked me where they were, I told them they’re everywhere, and nowhere.
Them: Well, we can’t certify the scan because we can’t find your connection strings.
Me: But isn’t that the point?
They grumbled under their breath and left the conference room.
I’m gonna count that as a win.

Lithium Polymere batteries are really good. They have high capacities and allow high discharge currents. They are also a little dangerous. When a cell dies, things can get messy, including fire or really unhealthy smoke or contamination.
I bought four 6s (six serial cells = 22.2V) with a capacity 5000 mAh for my model helicopter, a T-Rex 550. In these five years I charged them hundreds of times and spent about 150 hours in the air. I always treated the batteries like raw eggs and up to now all cells of all batteries were always +- 0.01V of the others. I had expected a slow degradation of the capacity and an increase of divergence in the voltages of the cells, but that never happened. It was almost as if the batteries did not age at all.
I should have known that trouble was coming when I charged the batteries today. One cell in the oldest battery was 0.1 V lower than the others and it took an hour of balancing to charge it to -0.03 V relative to the other five cells. The other three batteries were as good as ever. The usual +- 0.01V, as always.
Then, while flying, that cell must have died. Quite unspectacularily actually. No fire, no poisonous smoke, just a helicopter that suddently seemed to be a little tired. After the landing I noticed that the battery was unusually warm and a small LED showed that it was discharged down to under 30% which was a little too low for only half the usual flight time.
Back home, I found that the oviously damaged cell had died. 0V. The other five cells were still at 3.9V (+- 0.01V), as good as ever. Nothing left to do than to try to discharge it, cut off the connector, tape off the wires and off we go to recycling.
I think the batteries held up very well. Three of them are still as good as ever and they already had a long life. I think they are really good quality batteries.
So what are your experiences with such batteries? What do you use them for and how do they hold up? Any burning Teslas?

So you wrote the script for the movie with the dumbest aliens in the universe[^]?
***SPOILER*** The aliens are very 'allergic' to water. They react to it like a vampire that gets sprinkled with holy water. And they are dumb enough to run around split naked on our little planet where water frequently falls from the skies. Not that it would be a good idea for them to do that even if water was no problem for them.
