Driver Has 18 Times Legal Alcohol Limit

May 24th, 2006 admin No comments

This guy, sure is a trooper!

Lithuanian police were so astonished by a breath test that registered 18 times the legal alcohol limit, they thought their device must be broken. It wasn’t.Police said Tuesday 41-year-old Vidmantas Sungaila registered 7.27 grams per liter of alcohol in his blood repeatedly on different devices after he was pulled over Saturday for driving his truck down the center of a two-lane highway 60 miles from the capital, Vilnius.

Lithuania’s legal limit is 0.4 grams per liter.

“This guy should have been lying dead, but he was still driving. It must be an unofficial national record,” Saulius Skvernelis, director of the national police traffic control service, told the AP. “He was of high spirits and grinning the whole time he was questioned.”

Medical experts say anything above 3.5 grams per liter of alcohol in the blood is lethal for most people.

“A person this intoxicated should be in an intensive care unit, not behind the wheel,” said Tautvydas Zikaras, head of the dependence illness center in the country’s second-largest city, Kaunas. Zikaras said he had never heard or read of someone being so drunk.

Sungaila, who was slapped with a $1,110 fine and the loss of his license for up to three years, told police he had been drinking the night before and tried to freshen up by downing a pint of beer for breakfast.

Google hacking’ attacks rising

May 22nd, 2006 admin No comments

This is pretty much a given, obvious! Google crawls many directories that should other wise not be cached by super google. Thats what robot.txt is for bitches!

Web sites are more vulnerable to “Google hacking” than many people realise and “hacking” attacks are on the rise, according to a recent study by Massey University (New Zealand) researchers. Personal information held by businesses, government departments and voluntary organizations are potentially at risk, along with operations of the websites that hold them.

Google hacking involves using the popular Google search engine to locate sensitive online information, which should be protected but is not.

Dr Ellen Rose, a senior lecturer at the Institute of Information and Mathematical Sciences, and graduate student Natalia Nehring, ran Google search queries known to return sensitive information from the Google database.

They wrote a computer program that for three months ran 170 daily queries against the Google database, looking at sites in New Zealand, Australia, the United States and the Czech Republic.

They found that sensitive data was now easier to obtain and that New Zealand sites are more vulnerable to hackers than Australian or United States sites.

70,000 Beer Cans Found in Ogden Townhouse

May 21st, 2006 admin No comments

69,999 bottles of beer on the wall, 69,999 bottles of beer….

A seemingly unbelievable mess discovered last year in an Ogden townhouse has suddenly become an Internet legend.He couldn’t even open the front door. It was blocked from inside.

Ryan Froerer, Century 21: “There was beer cans I would say probably this high up on the door.”

The realtor had forewarned him about the smell.

Ryan Froerer, Century 21: “He poked his head in, the smell was so awful he couldn’t go in. ”

At the back door, Froerer was astounded by what he saw in the kitchen.

Ryan Froerer, Century 21: “As we approached the door, there were beer boxes, all the way up to the ceiling.”

The cans were recycled for 800 dollars, an estimated 70,000 cans: 24 beers a day for 8 years.

Black professor predicts human time travel this century

May 21st, 2006 admin No comments

This guy is smoking his auntie Jemima’s crack rocks, can I get a hell mutha fuckin’ Amen?

With a brilliant idea and equations based on Einstein’s relativity theories, Ronald Mallett from the University of Connecticut has devised an experiment to observe a time traveling neutron in a circulating light beam. While his team still needs funding for the project, Mallett calculates that the possibility of time travel using this method could be verified within a decade.Black holes, wormholes, and cosmic strings – each of these phenomena has been proposed as a method for time travel, but none seem feasible, for (at least) one major reason. Although theoretically they could distort space-time, they all require an unthinkably gigantic amount of mass.

Mallett, a U Conn Physics Professor for 30 years, considered an alternative to these time travel methods based on Einstein’s famous relativity equation: E=mc2.

“Einstein showed that mass and energy are the same thing,” said Mallett, who published his first research on time travel in 2000 in Physics Letters. “The time machine we’ve designed uses light in the form of circulating lasers to warp or loop time instead of using massive objects.”

To determine if time loops exist, Mallett is designing a desktop-sized device that will test his time-warping theory. By arranging mirrors, Mallett can make a circulating light beam which should warp surrounding space. Because some subatomic particles have extremely short lifetimes, Mallett hopes that he will observe these particles to exist for a longer time than expected when placed in the vicinity of the circulating light beam. A longer lifetime means that the particles must have flowed through a time loop into the future.

Human Hobbit Discovered

May 20th, 2006 admin No comments

Where is Frodo and Sam when you need them!

A new report released Thursday disputes scientists’ claims that bones of a dwarf human discovered on an Indonesian island are those of an entirely new human species.

The 18,000 year old bones found on Flores Island in 2003 were given the scientific name Homo floresiensis, and the nickname “Hobbit” after the diminutive figures in JRR Tolkien’s novel. Anthropologists from Australia and Indonesia said it was an entirely new human species derived from the primitive Homo erectus.

The discovery of a new hominid excited scientists around the world, especially since the age given to the bones meant that a separate human species remained on the Earth just as modern man, Homo sapiens, was flourishing throughout the same region.

But a group of scientists led by primatologist Robert Martin said in an article in Science magazines’ May 19 issue that, far from being a new species, the bones were of Homo sapiens suffering from the pathological condition microcephaly, which results in small brain and body size.

Hybrid HDD

May 18th, 2006 admin No comments

This just might beat out my current HDD by just a tad! I like the idea of eliminating the need for the HD to constantly spin when the PC is operating on battery power, SO YA KNOW it is idle most of the time. Wow!

Samsung Electronics today announced that it is exhibiting the first commercial prototype of a Hybrid Hard Disk (HHD), the much-anticipated next generation hard drive for notebooks and PCs that integrates NAND flash memory with rotating magnetic storage. The HHD will be exhibited with two cache densities, 128MB and 256MB, at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in the Seattle, WA Conference Center May 23-24, 2006.

“We see the HHD as the most advanced and cost-effective means of improving the performance of a notebook computer’s storage functionality,” said Jon Kang, senior vice president, technical marketing group, Samsung Semiconductor. “The Samsung HHD addresses the two biggest consumer desires: extending battery life and improving boot and resume performance.”

The hybrid storage device leverages the benefits of both magnetic and solid state storage without compromising the cost of the computer housing it.

The high densities of magnetic storage technology are preserved, while the exceptionally low power, high reliability and fast read/write access of advanced NAND flash technology enhance overall value at minimal additional cost. With an HHD, consumers receive a system that boots or resumes up to twice as fast as conventional HDDs, lasts 20-30 minutes longer on battery and is up to five times more reliable.

You can hold my ID, I will be back with the rest

May 18th, 2006 admin No comments

It might have happened to you before, run out of gas and have no money? Some gas station clerks will hold your I.D. for a bit until you come back with the money.

But some women now leave friends as a “deposit” when they don’t have enough money for gas. Two hours later, gas station owners should becomes suspicious when they dont come back! I guess it shows who your true friends are.

A German woman left her friend as a deposit at a gas station because she did not have enough cash to pay for her petrol, police said Wednesday.

“She didn’t have enough money to pay the bill, so her friend stayed behind as a human deposit while she went to withdraw cash,” said a spokesman for police in the southern town of Muenchberg. “Unfortunately, the woman did not return.”
