   It�s the 25th anniversary of the fullerene (aka Buckyball) and Google
   have done their bit today with the Buckyball Google Doodle, and the
   feedback so far about Richard Buckminster Fuller has been very positive.

assumptions based on debatable figures taken from inconclusive documents

dubious reliability and questionable mentality for the avowed purpose of
annoying and confounding a hopelessly defenseless department that was
unfortunate enough to ask for the information in the first place.

There's some very interesting research exploring fullerene molecules'
property of quantum superposition (simplistically: being in more than
one place at the same time). Rumour has it that Bill Gates and Donald
Trump are collaborating on funding the project, in the hope that they
will one day be able to monopolise all "Real Property" in exactly the
same way "Intellectual Property" is currently. A spokes-model for The
Trump Organization, George Sorial, is quoted as saying: "The model of
Real Property ownership is clearly outdated and unworkable as a means
of monoplization, so something needs to change going forward. License
control of all Real Property is the ideal solution, and we're excited
about the prospect of being pioneers in this area." He then added his
hope for the future was: "to be able to download your car or house on
the Internet, and use molecular projectors to create a fully licensed
transportation vehicle or living environment, with guaranteed updates
provided on the second Tuesday of every month." Meanwhile, critics of
the proposal warn that a clause in the Real Property EULA might cause
future property licensees to find themselves immobilised or homeless,
in the event that licensors push the "kill switch" on their property,
inadvertently or otherwise. "We live in dangerous times," said Unreal
Property Freedom Law Center chairman, professor Eben Moglen, speaking
from his prison cell in Guantánamo Bay.

Your comments are fully justified.

"Unreal" reminds me of the track "Le Trente-Huit Cunegonde" from the
Firesign Theatre album "Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him".

The U.S. Congress, now fully populated by hippies, with a groovy government
having institutions such as the Free Food and Drug Administration, has
convened, and the Most High Chief of the United States has just listed
all the bad stuff from the old days, and the Speaker, in a Teddy Kennedy
voice, blurts out "And those were Ungroovy times!"

Anyway, the whole first side is a parallel history of the U.S. and, after a
few listens, becomes extremely funny.

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_the_Electrician_or_Someone_Like_Him

    * "Le Trente-Huit Cunegonde" imagines what the world would be like if
      the counterculture of 1960s were the mainstream. People are
      arrested for not possessing drugs, politicians use the word
      "groovy" in their speeches, and bomber aircraft drop copies of
      Naked Lunch.

Take her in for, uh, regrooving.

"Got one for regrooving"

Hehe.

I'd like to know what idiot put that up there.

Then again, maybe my new xorg-video-intel driver is causing me
grief...

Either way, it was slow.
