Code for Unbreakable Quantum Encryption

Wednesday, 19 April 2006 04:49 ESTRaw code for ‘unbreakable’ quantum encryption has been generated at record speed over optical fiber at NIST. The work is a step toward using conventional high-speed networks such as broadband Internet and local-area networks to transmit ultra-secure video for applications such as surveillance.

DoctorBit writes "NASA scientists have achieved a breakthrough in simulating the merging of two same-size non-spinning black holes based on a new translation of Einstein’s general relativity equations. The scientists accomplished the feat by using some brand-new tensor calculus translations on the Linux-running, 10,240 Itanium processor SGI Altix Columbia supercomputer. These are reportedly the largest astrophysical calculations ever performed on a NASA supercomputer. According to NASA’s Chief Scientist, "Now when we observe a black hole merger with LIGO or LISA, we can test Einstein’s theory and see whether or not he was right.""

Millionaires24 – email account for only $399.00 a months !!!

robobobo — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 22:23:24 +0000

I had to check the date to be sure this didn’t launch on April 1, but it appears to be a legitimate if highly dumb idea that officially launched yesterday. Millionaires24 is a new email service that caters to the super rich, and costs $399 per month.

More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta today.

First Digital Simulation of an Entire Life FormPosted by Zonk on Monday March 27, @04:42PMfrom the who-doesn’t-love-alife dept.ScienceAn anonymous reader writes "LiveScience is reporting on what appears to be the first digital simulation of an entire life form. Researchers created more than a million digital atoms to reverse engineer the satellite tobacco mosaic virus, a relatively simple organism. But is it really a life form? From the article: ‘Viruses are tiny bundles of protein and genetic material that straddle the line between life and non-life. Many scientists prefer to call them "particles" because even though they contain RNA or DNA like other lifeforms, they can only replicate inside other living cells.’"
