A team of researchers at Universite Paris-Diderot has uncovered the reason for wobbling of wheeled suitcases. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, the group explains the physics behind suitcase wobbling and offer some suggestions to overcome the problem. I'm so glad all the hard problems are solved

Easy solution to this problem: Hover-cases. Next.. 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

It sounds similar to the problem of car and truck trailers tipping or jackknifing.

Researchers have given the first demonstration of 3-D imaging of objects through walls using ordinary wireless signal. The technique, which involves two drones working in tandem, could have a variety of applications, such as emergency search-and-rescue, archaeological discovery and structural monitoring.

When you think of a standard hacker toolkit, software vulnerabilities and malware come to mind. But a pair of researchers are testing a different type of instrument: a physical tool that can break into devices with a wave of your hand. Siliconium impulsa!
((That's a bad attempt at a Harry Potteresque spell, for those that can't tell)).
Yeah, I know. Wired and ad blockers. Deal with it - Chris submitted the news item.

Perhaps Confractus Computatrum would be better.

Aha, another step on your path to the OBN.

Interestingly enough Wired appears to've just done some sort of backend refactor and removed their blocker blocker. Instead of the scorched earth shell I normally see for a few seconds before it goes into nag mode it loaded normally (read all the first party crap I nuked from their dumpsterfire of a page layout was unblocked); and it didn't kick me out when I went all Bomber Harris on it again.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Start with an actual response. The words, "No thank you" are sufficient. ("Go to hell!" also works, but getting NO response is just annoying.)

Open source is becoming the de facto software development model. Today every software company, especially in the enterprise space, is dealing with a massive amount of open source. And Microsoft is no exception. "Recent case studies (the Internet) provide very dramatic evidence that commercial quality can be achieved/exceeded by OSS projects."

I read the subject as "How Microsoft is shitting focus to open source"

The infamous Raspberry Pi compute board has built a loyal following that’s proving difficult even for companies such as Intel to compete with, but it could be set to gain even more fans as Microsoft is building an online simulator. Where do I plug it in then?

For developers that discover an issue or exploit in their applications, staying calm and assessing the situation is definitely a good place to start, but determining the level of severity will really determine what will happen next. "When in danger or in doubt, Run in circles, scream and shout."

Men who delay starting a family are more likely to have "geekier" sons, a study suggests. As the kids (supposedly) say these days, "I can't even"
I keep trying, but it just makes me sigh louder.

Aha. I'm the fifth of six siblings, so my father was thirty-five when I was born.
And I was thirty-five when my kid was born.
