With faster machines cropping up almost daily, the life span of a midrange PC is a little more than two years of service. Physically, the computer you bought a few years ago is just as sound as any new piece of hardware. Ideally, it could probably last you a decade or two–as long as you didn’t add any new software or surf the Net. Realistically, that’s not likely to be the case. Instead of buying a new computer, optimize your present one. The following are 11 things that Chip Manufacturers and PC Retailers don’t want you to know or how to perform. Following these advices will drastically increase your PC performance and help you regain your sanity while saving loads of ...

You can bet the farm right now, that the government will soon make everyone who wants to use or post on the web, register with them, so they know exactly what your saying and listening to. Patriot shows will be non-existant. So how do we get "real news"? If you don't have one already, get a good shortwave radio. You can listen to many good patriot shows for free. This will be the only way to keep in touch with real news as it happens. My favorite shows are Alex Jones, Scriptures For America and Derry Brownfield.

A day in the life of a cyber gumshoe An information technology employee for one of the world's top stock brokerages is let go, but before he leaves, he plants a logic bomb that knocks 3,000 of the firm's workstations offline. The internal network of a federal agency is penetrated by a drug cartel and used to obscure international communications among various members. A law firm discovers that an impostor has been using a caller ID generator to call members of the public and pose as one of its attorneys. These are some of the emergencies today's cyber investigators are expected to respond to, the head of forensics for Chevron told attendees of a security conference Wednesday. ...
Fermilab Looks for Visitors from Another Dimension

A prototype liquid-argon detector called ArgoNeuT will pave the way for the MicroBooNE facility at Fermilab The detection of extra dimensions beyond the familiar four—the three dimensions of space and one of time—would be among the most earth-shattering discoveries in the history of physics. Now scientists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., are designing a new experiment that would investigate tantalizing hints that extra dimensions may indeed exist. Last year researchers involved in Fermilab’s MiniBooNE study, which detects elusive subatomic particles called neutrinos, announced that they had found a surprising anomaly. Neutrinos, which have no ...
Men's Brains are Better Connected

Men have higher levels of nerve connections in parts of their brain than women, according to a study that will renew hostilities in the long running gender war. Previous studies have revealed differences in the density of nerve cells and other brain features but none of these gender differences have been linked to behaviour or function in a very convincing way. advertisement Now, Dr Lidia Alonso-Nanclares and Prof Javier De Filipe of the Instituto Cajal, Madrid, Spain; and colleagues there and at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid, used fresh brain tissue removed from epileptic patients during brain surgery to explore microscopic differences in the brain structure of men and women, ...

Portrait of an Animal Researcher By David Irving 9/13/08 When people think of an animal researcher the image of a well trained, highly skilled scientist surrounded by test tubes and flasks and wearing an immaculately clean, white coat often comes to mind. Looking up from a microscope he, or she, strokes a plump, white rat and converses about the latest medical discoveries being made with the help of animals. This is America’s favorite image of an animal researcher. But just how accurate is it? The fact that most people are unaware that medical research represents only the tip of the iceberg of this diverse industry called animal research that stretches from coast to coast and ...

If you want a moment to be humble, with all of the 'stuff' we worry about, try this video (6 minutes). Absolutely beautiful, and humbling. In 2003, the Hubble Space Telescope took the image of a millennium, an image that shows our place in the universe. Once you understand what this image represents, you will be forever changed by it. An exercise in thought such as the one presented in this video can really allow folks to SURRENDER so much of their worries and feel secure that, in the big picture, the Divine takes care of it all -- even if gas is over four bucks a gallon! Many people, including myself, were excited by the recent arrival of the latest Mars lander on that ...
Antarctic winter ice gets bigger; Arctic shrinks

OSLO (Reuters) - The amount of sea ice around Antarctica has grown in recent Septembers in what could be an unusual side-effect of global warming, experts said on Friday. In the southern hemisphere winter, when emperor penguins huddle together against the biting cold, ice on the sea around Antarctica has been increasing since the late 1970s, perhaps because climate change means shifts in winds, sea currents or snowfall. At the other end of the planet, Arctic sea ice is now close to matching a September 2007 record low at the tail end of the northern summer in a threat to the hunting lifestyles of indigenous peoples and creatures such as polar bears.

Cleared: Jury decides that threat of global warming justifies breaking the law By Michael McCarthy, Environment Editor Thursday, 11 September 2008 The threat of global warming is so great that campaigners were justified in causing more than £35,000 worth of damage to a coal-fired power station, a jury decided yesterday. In a verdict that will have shocked ministers and energy companies the jury at Maidstone Crown Court cleared six Greenpeace activists of criminal damage. Jurors accepted defence arguments that the six had a "lawful excuse" to damage property at Kingsnorth power station in Kent to prevent even greater damage caused by climate change. The defence of ...

LORD Winston, the fertility expert and Labour peer, is to begin breeding genetically modified pigs in the hope of providing organs for transplant to humans, it was reported yesterday. Scientists in London and California have begun experiments to find a solution to record waits for organ transplants. In Britain around 8,000 patients are on waiting lists. "People needing a new heart or liver are waiting for someone else to die – usually a violent death in a traffic accident," Lord Winston wrote in a Sunday newspaper. Lord Winston, who heads the Institute of Reproductive and Developmental Biology at London's Hammersmith Hospital, expects the technique to provide a ...

Science Proves Exotic Cars Turn Women On By Keith Barry EmailSeptember 04, 2008 | 1:07:47 PMCategories: Autopia WTF? Dept., Exotics Lamborghini A study commissioned by a phallically named insurance company proves beyond all doubt that the unbridled roar of an Italian supercar turns women on but the soft purr of a fuel-efficient econobox doesn't stimulate anyone's MPG-spot. David Moxon subjected 40 men and women to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari, then measured the amount of testosterone in their saliva. He found everyone had higher levels of the stuff -- a measure of their arousal -- after hearing the revving exotics, but the amount the women had was off the ...

Treading carefully around oil Kevin Libin, National Post Published: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 CALGARY -- Six months ago, residents of the cattle country south of Calgary invited a climate scientist to town to speak to 140 students from J.T. Foster High School in Nanton and bused in from nearby Claresholm. The guest was Tim Ball, a prominent Canadian skeptic of the theory of man-made climate change and perennial bugaboo of the green lobby. The school had been showing An Inconvenient Truth, the contentious Al Gore movie about global warming, in class, much to the consternation of a number of locals.

Roman Empire 'raised HIV threat'

Roman Empire 'raised HIV threat' The spread of the Roman Empire through Europe could help explain why those living in its former colonies are more vulnerable to HIV. The claim, by French researchers, is that people once ruled by Rome are less likely to have a gene variant which protects against HIV. This includes England, France, Greece and Spain, New Scientist reports. Others argue the difference is linked to a far larger event, such as the spread of bubonic plague or smallpox. The idea that something carried by the occupying Romans could have a widespread influence on the genes of modern Europeans comes from researchers at the University of Provence. They say that the ...

Nude or glowing? These critters are made to order RICHARD MACEY 4/09/2008 12:00:01 AM IF IT WAS a hotel, it would rate five stars. Nestling on 18 hectares of former farmland outside Moss Vale, it cost $20 million to build, and when fully operational next year it will have 30 staff employed to meet every need of its guests. However the high-tech building is no holiday retreat. Owned by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, the Australian BioResources centre will eventually be home to about 45,000 mice destined for advanced medical research. Mice, says Professor John Shine, the Garvan executive director, remain "essential for all modern medical research" including ...

Genetic map of Europe; genes vary as a function of distance Category: Genetics Posted on: August 31, 2008 9:29 PM, by Razib My post The Genetic Map of Europe drew a lot of interest, but there's even a cooler paper on the same topic out, Genes mirror geography within Europe: ...Despite low average levels of genetic differentiation among Europeans, we find a close correspondence between genetic and geographic distances; indeed, a geographical map of Europe arises naturally as an efficient two-dimensional summary of genetic variation in Europeans. The results emphasize that when mapping the genetic basis of a disease phenotype, spurious associations can arise if genetic structure is ...
Solar-powered plane in air for 82 hours

A British-built spy plane has set an unofficial world record for the longest continuous unmanned flight. The aircraft, a Zephyr, stayed aloft for 82 hours and 37 minutes powered by solar panels and a rechargeable battery at night. The flight, at the US army's Yuma ground in Arizona, more than doubled the record time but, since it was done to test the ability of Zephyr to relay ground radio messages, did not fulfil all the requirements of a world record attempt. However the aircraft's designers, at the defence firm QinetiQ, in the UK, think the plane could fly indefinitely. "We think the aircraft, in future, will be capable of weeks or months duration," said Paul Davey, ...
