In an article on the Chronicle’s Web site today, college security experts stress the importance of encrypting data in order to protect sensitive information on laptops, which are often the target of thieves.
The Campus Computing Project, an annual survey of colleges’ information-technology practices, shows that from 2006 to 2007, colleges of all types saw a 3.6-percent increase in the number of stolen computers with sensitive data. The problem is most acute at research universities, according to the survey. Private four-year colleges reported declines in stolen computers with sensitive data. (The survey does not distinguish between stolen laptops and desktops.) Perhaps thieves have an easier time plying their trade at large campuses where people are less likely to question unfamiliar faces. —Andrea L. Foster

There cannot be randomness in an evolving universe!!!

Evolution Is The
Quantum Mechanics Of Natural Selection.
The quantum
mechanics of every process is its evolution.
Quantum mechanics
are mechanisms, possible or probable or actual mechanisms of natural selection.

A. The
Universe
From the Big-Bang
it is a rationally commonsensical conjecture that the gravitons, the smallest
base primal particles of the universe, must be both mass and energy, i.e. inert
mass yet in motion even at the briefest fraction of a second of the pre Big
Bang singularity. This is rationally commonsensical since otherwise the Big
would not have Banged, the superposition of mass and energy would not have been
resolved.
The universe
originates, derives and evolves from this energy-mass dualism which is possible
and probable due to the small size of the gravitons.
Since gravitation
Is the propensity of energy reconversion to mass and energy is mass in motion,
gravity is the force exerted between mass formats.
All the matter of
the universe is a progeny of the gravitons evolutions, of the natural selection
of mass, of some of the mass formats attaining temporary augmented energy
constraint in their successive generations, with energy drained from other mass
formats, to temporarily postpone, survive, the reversion of their own
constitutional mass to the pool of cosmic energy fueling the galactic clusters
expansion set in motion by the Big Bang.
B. Earth
Life
Earth Life is
just another mass format. A self-replicating mass format. Self-replication is
its mode of evolution, natural selection. Its smallest base primal units are
the RNAs genes.
The genesis of
RNAs genes, life’s primal organisms, is rationally commonsensical thus highly
probable, the “naturally-selected” RNA nucleotides. Life began/evolved on Earth
with the natural selection of inanimate RNA, then of some RNA nucleotides, then
arriving at the ultimate mode of natural selection, self-replication.
C. Know Thyself. Life Is Simpler Than
We Are Told
The origin-reason
and the purpose-fate of life are mechanistic, ethically and practically
valueless. Life is the cheapest commodity on Earth.
As Life is just
another mass format, due to the oneness of the universe it is commonsensical
that natural selection is ubiquitous for ALL mass formats and that life,
self-replication, is its extension. And it is commonsensical, too, that
evolutions, broken symmetry scenarios, are ubiquitous in all processes in all
disciplines and that these evolutions are the “quantum mechanics” of the
processes.
Human life is
just one of many nature’s routes for the natural survival of RNAs, the base
primal Earth organisms.
Life’s
evolution, self-replication:
Genes (organisms)
to genomes (organisms) to mono-cellular to multicellular organisms:
Individual
mono-cells to cooperative mono-cells communities, “cultures”.
Mono-cells
cultures to neural systems, then to nerved multicellular organisms.
Human life is
just one of many nature’s routes for the natural survival of RNAs, the base
Earth organism.
It is up to
humans themselves to elect the purpose and format of their life as individuals
and as group-members.
