"Those in a bad mood outperformed those who were jolly - they made fewer mistakes and were better communicators. Professor Forgas said: "Whereas positive mood seems to promote creativity, flexibility, co-operation and reliance on mental shortcuts, negative moods trigger more attentive, careful thinking, paying greater attention to the external world." The study also found that sad people were better at stating their case through written arguments, which Forgas said showed that a "mildly negative mood may actually promote a more concrete, accommodative and ultimately more successful communication style"." - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie) from Bookmarklet

But what I soon realised is that, in a moneyless world, everything takes much more time. Handwashing my clothes in a sink of cold water, using laundry liquid made by boiling up some nuts on my rocket stove, can take two hours, instead of 10 minutes using a washing machine. Finding stuff in skips – such as the steamer I cook with – takes far longer than popping out to the shops for one, and sorting out the compost toilet is a lot more hassle than flushing it "away". Cycling the 36-mile round-trip to Bristol also takes a lot more time and energy than driving or catching the bus or train, but it's also an economical alternative to my old gym subscription, and I find cycling much more enjoyable than using motorised vehicles. The point is, I'd much rather have my time consumed making my own bread outdoors than kill it watching some reality TV show in a so-called "living" room. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

"Which crypto algorithms are popping up most often in open source? The usual suspects lead the list -- RSA, DES, MD5, SHA, Blowfish, Diffie-Hellman, ElGamal, and AES. As far as the government is concerned, if your company exports software that includes implementation in source code of even a single strong encryption algorithm, then you must get a license, no matter who wrote the software or when it was written. Violators of encryption export controls can be subject to fines and imprisonment. Open source is here to stay and increasingly central to the IT landscape, and for good reason. However, that doesn't mean caution isn't in order, especially when security is involved." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

Those of you who are 10 or 20 or more years beyond that point know that life isn’t that simple anymore — at least, not for most of us. Life tends to add features as we go along, and as they come out into the marketplace. We now have all the Internet technology we mentioned above, but there’s more. There’s debt and all kinds of payments to make. There’s kids and all the things that come with that (an amazing array of features, good and bad). There’s more responsibilities and commitments and a more crowded schedule. We’re not bored, and we have more means, and a career, likely. But these features bring much more: burdens, and an overloaded schedule, and conflicts that can lead to crashes. Headaches we don’t need. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

"He is the man who brought us the vacuum cleaner without the bag. Now Sir James Dyson has unveiled his latest household invention - the fan without the rotor. Called the Dyson Air Multiplier, it is able to create a powerful, cooling breeze seemingly from thin air. Launching the product yesterday, Sir James explained that he got the idea while developing his Air Blade hand dryers, which force air though a tiny slit to 'brush' water from wet hands. 'We noticed that the hand dryer was drawing in a lot of air from its surroundings,' he said. 'So we started to think about how we might be able to put this effect to use. We thought about creating an air moving device with no propeller or fan blade. Three years of development plus another year of testing later and this is the result.' The Air Multiplier works by pushing air through a 1.3millimetre-wide slit that runs along its circumference. As it is forced through the circle, the volume of travelling air increases by up to 15 times and its... more... - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"The Guardian has been prevented from reporting parliamentary proceedings on legal grounds which appear to call into question privileges guaranteeing free speech established under the 1688 Bill of Rights.Today's published Commons order papers contain a question to be answered by a minister later this week. The Guardian is prevented from identifying the MP who has asked the question, what the question is, which minister might answer it, or where the question is to be found.The Guardian is also forbidden from telling its readers why the paper is prevented – for the first time in memory – from reporting parliament. Legal obstacles, which cannot be identified, involve proceedings, which cannot be mentioned, on behalf of a client who must remain secret." - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie) from Bookmarklet
