Recently science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke passed away at his home in Sri Lanka. Clarke is perhaps best known for his work on 2001: A Space Odyssey, but his greatest work was probably his idea for a communication satellite. In the October 1945 issue of Wireless World, Clarke outlined how a satellite could be put in geostationary orbit. The satellite would orbit the earth about its equator once every day, and thus would always be in the same place in the sky.

Here's a simple way to make your website disappear from the web:

  1. Burn out the motherboard of your computer, thus requiring a serious repair.
  2. Lose data as a result, making the reconstruction of your site difficult.
  3. Make sure the address of your site is changed from phy1139-862.rit.edu to koberlein.rit.edu with no prior warning to your fan club.
  4. Success!
