Stasi@Home

German boffins are using supercomputers to speed up the task of reassembling the files shredded by the hated East German secret police, but it will still take seven years. Am I a bad person for hoping that they launch a distributed computing client to help them? I would certainly be more interested in having secret shredded Stasi documents on my screensaver than looking for fucking ET.

In unrelated news, I can't believe I wasn't keeping a running total Galbraith score on Paul Wolfowitz, but I am pretty sure that he followed the exact predicted behaviour; said four times that he would not resign and then did.
