A Pennsylvania judge has sentenced Adam Flanagan, 42, of Bala Cynwyd, PA to one year and one day in prison for hacking and damaging the IT networks of several water utility providers across the US East Coast. Is it just me, or does there seem to be a lot of this going around?
Yeah, I know. It was done in 2014, but there seem to be a lot of news about these kind of hacks recently.

Maybe they are trying to infer fear in possible hackers after the big leak of Windows sources 
Just as: Ok... We maybe have no idea, but if you do anything you will pay for it anyways.
Was it in the states that if you leave your door unlocked, then a stranger is not "doing" trespass? Why is in other way with software? If vendors leave the doors opened, is not the same?

Researchers have built an electrocaloric refrigerator the size of a beverage coaster that can generate a temperature difference of about 2 K between the hot and cold ends of the device. Because 'electrocaloric' is my new favourite word

Cool. Literally.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The Visual Studio debugger is a magical beast that can save you loads of time while finding and fixing issues in your application. It is chock-full of tools that can make debugging easier… if you know they exist, and where to find them! Just in case you're lesser knowing

VS 2017, the lesser known Visual Studio.

It has been a nightmare on Elgin Street. For several months, remote control on car keys in a tiny part of Carlton had stopped worked, until the surprising culprit was found. Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Buggy Button Brouhaha

Couldn't they use the mechanical key?

Google is leading the pack when it comes to quantum computing. The company is testing a 20-qubit processor – its most powerful quantum chip yet – and is on target to have a working 49-qubit chip by the end of this year. All those cats, all those boxes... The HorROR!

Absolutely, these are all incremental improvements being described - impressive, but not ground-breaking.

From a Warren Zevon tune: And if California slides into the ocean. Like the mystics and statistics say it will. I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
Now this is a prediction I believe.

Quantum Hamsters? Are they like Quantum Cats (only smaller)?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
