Romance at Work

Posted: 14 Feb 2012 03:45 AM PST

Children's Valentine, 1940–1950I’m okay with romance at work.

I am not okay with

  • excessive displays of affection.
  • cheap sexy clothing to attract some dude’s attention.
  • crude sexual innuendos that you think nobody else understands.
  • gross hook-ups in places where other people eat.
  • obsessing about your relationship at the expense of work.
  • stalking.
  • anything illegal.

I don’t care if you hook up with the intern or date the VP of sales.

Do what you want.

Good HR professionals are willing to treat you like an adult if you work hard and shut up about your sex life.

So please shut up already. I know you’re hooking up with that [guy in marketing/chick in R&D/dude in HR] and I’m trying not to puke in my mouth.

Happy Valentine’s Day, suckers.

'Invisibility' cloak could protect buildings from earthquakes

Posted: 14 Feb 2012 07:08 AM PST

Mathematicians have developed the theory for a Harry Potter style 'cloaking' device which could protect buildings from earthquakes. Scientists have been working on the theory of invisibility cloaks which, until recently, have been merely the subject of science fiction. In recent times, however, scientists have been getting close to achieving 'cloaking' in a variety of contexts. The new work focuses on the theory of cloaking devices which could eventually help to protect buildings and structures from vibrations and natural disasters such as earthquakes.

Globular clusters: Survivors of a 13-billion-year-old massacre

Posted: 14 Feb 2012 07:08 AM PST

Our Milky Way galaxy is surrounded by some 200 compact groups of stars, containing up to a million stars each. At 13 billion years of age, these globular clusters are almost as old as the universe itself and were born when the first generations of stars and galaxies formed. Now astronomers have conducted a novel type of computer simulation that looked at how they were born -- and they find that these giant clusters of stars are the only survivors of a 13-billion-year-old massacre that destroyed many of their smaller siblings.
