Encrypt and sign Gmail messages with FireGPG – Linux.com

Gmail may be an excellent Web-based email application, but there is no easy way to use it with privacy tools like GnuPG. The FireGPG extension for Firefox is designed to solve this problem. It integrates nicely into Gmail’s interface and allows you to sign and encrypt not only email messages but also text snippets from any Web page.

As with any other Firefox extension, installing FireGPG is a matter of a few clicks. However, since FireGPG relies on GnuPG, there are a couple of things you have to take care of in order to make FireGPG work properly. First, you have to make sure that GnuPG is installed on your system. You might also want to install a graphical front end to it — for example, KGpg on (K)Ubuntu — that you can use to manage keys. Finally, you have to generate the key pair required to encrypt and sign mails and text snippets.

$5 Million Cray Y-MP Supercomputer Is Now Baby Furniture – Gizmodo

Apparently these horseshoe-shaped behemoths, which were $5 million mofo supercomputers back in 1988, can now be picked up at yard sales.

Google PageRank: What Do We Know About It? – Smashing Magazine

Everybody is using it, but (almost) nobody really knows, how it works. Google PageRank is probably one of the most important algorithms ever developed for the Web. With billions of existing pages and millions of pages generated every day, the search issue in the Web is more complex than you probably think it is. PageRank, only one of hunderds of factors used by Google to determine best search results, helps to keep our search clean and efficient. But how is it actually done?

I was walking down the sidewalk and you, a very good looking woman from the backside, dropped what appeared to be the Holy Bible, bent to pick it up, and through no fault of my own, I saw your thong…and wow.

I know Jesus spent some time with Mary Magdalene, and likely she wore next to nothing under those sackcloths, but I have to admit, your short skirt and fluorescent pink thong were way sexier, and made me want to get to “know” you, in the Biblical sense, of course.

My father’s hobby is to search for “the perfect sound” making him a high-end audiophile. I was very surprised when I saw an old Playstation 1 (Version SCPH-1001/2) plugged into his super expensive audio rig. He told me, that that particular version of the console has RCA-inputs in the back which has a superb sound output. The console has become an underground sensation in the Hi-Fi scene.
