According to documents seen by The Register, the network-builder is once again finding its Interim Satellite Service effectively DDoSed by its popularity.

The Register notes that while media are told the limit is 50 GB per month, it's actually calculated on a rolling four-week average. In other words, a user consuming 25 GB in the last week of their billing period, and another 25 GB in the first week of the next, would find themselves in breach of the policy.

Dr Colleen Kelly, from the Medical School at Brown University, said the option of a faecal transplant was discussed and the woman wanted to use a relative - her daughter.

The daughter was overweight at the time and was on her way to becoming obese.

Dr Kelly has now changed her practices and "as a result I'm very careful with all our donors don't use obese people".

House Bill 1445 would amend current state law, which only recognizes “any natural language” that is “formally studied... including a Native American language, American Sign Language, Latin, or ancient Greek.”

“It’s an indication of the low value that many American politicians—and unfortunately, educators—place on foreign language learning. No linguist I know of buys the argument that a computer programming language is even close to a natural language and should be treated as such.”

In 1964, Isaac Asimov wrote up a set of predictions about life in 2014. He was pretty close on a few and way off on others. That same year, author and inventor Arthur C. Clarke appeared on the BBC and described a world of instant global communication made possible by satellites.

He nails almost everything, from the Internet and email to smartphones, Google and even smartwatches.

AdBlock Plus Communications Manager Ben Williams wrote that currently, the browser extension has granted a pass to "over 300 sites/entities" out of "over 1,500 applicants" to the company's whitelist.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation launched the latest iteration of its tiny Raspberry Pi computing boards. The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B was released Feb. 2, complete with a faster processor, more memory and support for Microsoft's upcoming Windows 10 operating system.

The added enhancements and wider OS support give Raspberry Pi 2 even more computing capabilities and will make it even more attractive in the commercial field.

The latest in a new generation of genetically engineered crops is poised to enter widespread use—and critics think they’ll cause more problems than they solve.

Weeds may soon become resistant to the new herbicide mixtures, resulting in new generations of ever-more-intractable weeds that will need to be controlled with yet more herbicides.

Over-reliance turned America’s agricultural landscape into an evolutionary crucible of accelerated selection for any genetic mutation that helped weeds survive glyphosate. The resulting plants, often called “superweeds,” proliferated dramatically, and now infest at least 61 million acres of US farmland, an area roughly equivalent to the size of Michigan.

First released to registered pre-alpha users in July, Bleep was then in Windows versions only. Now it's gone to release, the organisation has added Android and Mac versions.

By eliminating servers between communicating devices and encrypting conversations end-to-end, Bleep hopes to offer better privacy than chat applications from the big names – or, for that matter, than SMS which gets stored and forwarded by telcos.

The firm said in a blog post on Friday that it would begin slurping the data from inside a number of apps for its Google Now service – a creepy, predictive search tech that Mountain View first unveiled in 2012.
