Well some people had a very simple idea! Take a font, put some holes in it, and tada, saving ink while printing! up to 20% on ink costs to be more precise! The font is called Ecofont and it is the work of a Dutch company which took an Open Source Sans Serif font (didn’t know open sourced fonts existed, whats next? Open source food?? ) and started experimenting trying to figure out how many wholes one can use before the font becomes unreadable. Give it a try! You can find it at http://www.ecofont.eu/downloads_en.html

Energy from Water? is water the new black gold?
Well far from it, but there is an interesting article at the www.examiner.com. It talks about Einstein’s theory of relativity, and how that relates to a new theory brought forward by Randell Mills and his laboratory.
Quoting “It centers around his discovery of what he calls “hydrinos,” a previously unknown form of hydrogen in which electrons move to a lower state of energy than previously thought possible but still manage to kick off power.”

Sadly the second was considered to be out of fashion by many and i remember people i used to study with in Cyprus demanding that they be thought OOP. This article though gives us reasons why functional programing might be the way forward. Click here!
