Cory Doctorow:
Jason sez, "Knowing how crazy Boing Boing readers are for origami and
paper models, I thought you might be interested in Pepakura Designer,
which lets you print out plans for paper models from objects designed
in common 3D modelers... The demo has the save featured disabled, but
you can still print your objects. It works with objects from 3D
Studio, Lightwave, AutoCAD and a few others."

Papal elections are more secure than US
elections
Papal elections are more secure than US
elections
04/14/2005 12:47 PMCory Doctorow:
The process for electing a new Pope is amazingly baroque and weird.
Bruce Schneier has posted a long and engrossing security analysis of
how the election works and how its simple and ancient procedures (and
the small number of participants) make it more secure than modern
electronic voting systems:
How hard is this to hack? The first observation is that the system is
entirely manual, making it immune to the sorts of technological
attacks that make modern voting systems so risky. The second
observation is that the small group of voters -- all of whom know each
other -- makes it impossible for an outsider to affect the voting in
any way. The chapel is cleared and locked before voting. No one is
going to dress up as a cardinal and sneak into the Sistine Chapel. In
effect, the voter verification process is about as perfect as you're
ever going to find.
Eavesdropping on the process is certainly possible, although the rules
explicitly state that the chapel is to be checked for recording and
transmission devices "with the help of trustworthy individuals of
proven technical ability." I read that the Vatican is worried about
laser microphones, as there are windows near the chapel's roof.
That leaves us with insider attacks. Can a cardinal influence the
election? Certainly the Scrutineers could potentially modify votes,
but it's difficult. The counting is conducted in public, and there are
multiple people checking every step. It's possible for the first
Scrutineer, if he's good at sleight of hand, to swap one ballot paper
for another before recording it. Or for the third Scrutineer to swap
ballots during the counting process.

IBM Wants To Predict The Weather 300

IBM Wants To Predict The Weather 300
Years From Now
02/10/2004 01:27 PMIBM and the University of California at Irvine are working on a
superc
omputer that can predict the planet's climate changes up to 300 years
in the future. They claim it's a revolutionary breakthrough in
computing, but neglect to mention that part of the reason they're
probably working on it is to
surpass
the power of a Japanese weather predicting computer that made
headlines a year and a half ago. I'm sure that it won't be all that
long until another supercomputer comes along and beats this one as
well.

MATT GALLANT -- Also, your dead
relatives love you and don't want you to be sad. Today, Midway has
shipped Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy for PS2 and Xbox. Psi-Ops is
a third-person stealth/action game where you play as psychic commando
Nick Scryer. Your mission is to go undercover (hint: don't tell anyone
your last name) and infiltrate "The Movement", a terrorist
organization that usually strikes about fifteen minutes after
breakfast and then again late in the evening.
As you can see in the screenshot, you'll have the power to lift
things and set them on fire using only the powers of your mind and
melodramatic poses. Hopefully Nick will also have to shout "BEHOLD!"
to make with the burning and flinging. Nick can also learn to
telepathically control enemies, do some remote viewing of inaccessible
locations, see auras, and drain brains. You'll also have an array of
conventional weapons which you can fire using only the power of your
index finger, for when your brain gets tired.

Cure
for Cancer Within Five Years) Surely the best news of the
millenium so far. A cure for cancer! all cancer! Posted as a side
article on bbc news april 8th.
Whenever I read an article about a cure for peanut allergies (my
daughter has a life threatening nut allergy), the articles always
quote some researcher as saying it'll happen "in five years."
Curious about the popularity of "in five years," I googled the
following terms:
"in two years" -- 1,320,000 results
"in five years" -- 1,420,000
"in ten years" -- 584,000
"in fifteen years" -- 59,000
"in twenty years" -- 176,000
"in fifty years" -- 74,300
"in a hundred years" -- 77,500
"in a thousand years" -- 56,300
"in ten thousand years" -- 3,370 (first hit is Cory!)
"in a hundred thousand years" -- 828
"in a million years" -- 202,000
"in a billion years" -- 5,410
"in a trillion years" -- 933
"in a quadrillion years" -- 51
"in a googol years" -- 38
"in a googolplex years" -- 2
"never" -- 296,000,000
"Never" wins by a huge margin, but "in five years" comes in second.

Earthquakes
Scientists Claim To Successfully Predict
Earthquakes
01/09/2004 09:50 PMWhen I first moved to California from New York, and expressed to
someone my concern about earthquakes, I was told that it's no
different than natural disasters like hurricanes that hit the east
coast. Of course, there is a very big difference: with a hurricane,
you know it's coming and can protect yourself or get the hell out of
town. Scientists have been working on ways to predict earthquakes for
years, with little success. Some say it can't be done. However, some
researchers are now claiming that they
successful
ly predicted the recent California earthquake and an earlier one in
Japan. The predictions are not pinpoint predictions, but suggest
a magnitude earthquake that is likely in a specific location within
the next nine months. Many researchers are skeptical, but others do
say that it's unlikely they were correct twice by dumb luck. Of
course, the researchers don't want to reveal all their predictions
publicly, because they say they don't want to spread fear and economic
hardship on certain areas. However, they do plan to work with "the
appropriate authorities" (whoever they may be) to continue to test
their methodology. In the meantime, they will leak one prediction (in
a sparsely populated area): a possible 6.4 magnitude quake in an area
south of the Mojave Desert sometime before Sept. 5.
