DNS Flaw At Black Hat 2008-08-06 22:09:00 24hoursnews
At the Black
Hat conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, attendees occupied every available seat and most of the floor space to hear security researcher Dan Kaminsky finally explain the Domain Name (DNS) vulnerability that has been the talk of the Internet security community since early July.
"There are a lot of people out there," Kaminsky began as he scanned the audience. "Holy cr**!

What are the unique properties of all stem cells? 2008-09-11 00:28:00 Stem cells
have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more speciali Read more:unique

Collider has succesfully completed the test 2008-09-10 06:39:00 European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) scientists are seen at the CERN's control center, during the switch on operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest particle collider, in Geneva, Switzerland, Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2008. The world's largest particle collider successfully completed its first major test by firing a beam of protons all the way around a 17-mile (27-
Scientist's promise on collider The LHC's purpose is "fundamental research" 2008-09-10 01:34:00 The Welsh scientist who is in charge of the world's biggest experiment says it will not result in another "Big Bang". Dr Lyn Evans, 63, from Aberdare, south Wales will set off the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) border with a click of his computer mouse. There have been some warnings the experiment on Wednesday could wreak disaster for the entire world. But the physicist and project leader said: "Don' Read more:promise
TODAY -!!LHC - Large Hadron Collider - The unknown Knowing 2008-09-09 13:24:00 .Vedio 2Public reaction to the Large Hadron Collider is so ignorant and brain-dead we need a theory to explain what’s going on. I asked Charles King at Pund-IT for a theory. He offered this:I believe that much of the public reaction to the LHC is grounded in a kind of ignorance that might be called “Faith-Based Science” or F-BS for short. The popularity of that particular discipline knows no

10th september 2008 :Danger for Earth ? 2008-09-06 02:51:00 The LHC is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, producing beams seven times more energetic than any previous machine, and around 30 times more intense when it reaches design performance, probably by 2010. Housed in a 27-kilometre tunnel, it relies on technologies that would not have been possible 30 years ago. The LHC is, in a sense, its own prototype.Starting up such a machine is not Read more:Danger
