Quantum Theory says that something does not exist, if it is not being looked at, but because the human body has thousands of atoms, we could never loose our body. Wait! That doesn't even make

I never really understood the point of hashing until I started to read some stories about some experiences where hashing prevented their user's password database from being read. So, first I should sort of explain what hashing is. Hashing, is a one way algorithm that creates a unique string of text. A common mistake is users referring to hashing as an encryption method. The word [i]encryption[/i] implies that there

Femtocells are small devices that boost cellular networks around areas in the interior of buildings that might have low signal strength. A femtocell is no different from a wireless router and are about the size of a paperback. Femtocells route the signals from up to 5 mobile phones through a broadband connection and pass them to the service provider thereby bypassing the conventional phone to tower path. Femtocells are currently supported by GSM, CDMA and UTMS networks. Femtocells benefit both

I have recently learned about MPS and related diseases through the [url="http://mspociety.org"]MSP Society[/url]. Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and related diseases are genetic lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) caused by the body's inability to produce specific enzymes. Normally, the body uses enzymes to break down and recycle materials in cells. In individuals with MPS and related diseases, the missing or insufficient enzyme prevents the proper recycling process, resulting in the storage of m
Has anyone heard of el chupacabra? A chupacabra is a creature that is allegedly responsible for draining blood or removing the organs of livestock. It's name is Spanish for "goat sucker" due to the earliest report of this creature in Puerto Rico where goats were completely drained of all blood. People still claim to see these creatures. Some other people believe that it is just like big foot. As people hear about it, they believe it more, which makes some think its real when i

targeted advertizing is when a certain audience is targeted to view commersicals.

A couple of days a go in my zoology class I learned about a rather unique insect. Its called a Taranchula Hawk. It is a wasp. This wasp has a rather unique way to spread its species. During the day it acts like any other wasp and feeds on flower nectar. At night it seeks out taranchula's burrows. It uses its feelers to entice the taranchula out. Sometimes the taranchula is too smart for it and won't come out. However if the taranchula is not smart it will come out. And a amazing

Well, I couldn't find a topic I was really interested in, so I thought I would post on something comletely useless... The world's largest known prime number is actually 7,816,230 digits long, so I'm not going to type it all out, but the 'Mersenne number' is 225,964,951– 1. It was discovered by the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), a distributed network of volunteers using their spare computer power to find the largest Mersenne primes.

According to the wikipedia, [quote]A loan is a type of debt.... For banks loans are generally funded by deposits.[/quote] But this statement is inconsistent with the way all banks and mortgage lenders operate. In fact, it even flies in the face of documents published by the Federal Reserve that clearly state deposits do not fund loans. That banks do not fund loans using deposits can be further shown by looking at call reports for your favorite mortgage lender at the [url="http://www2.fdic.gov/

If you have seen any scientific news in the past 5 or so years you have inevitably heard the term nanotechnology. (If you are in the scientific community, like me, you have been bombarded with nano-everything) Strictly speaking nanotechnology is the use and investigation of materials that have size features between 1-100nm. (1nm = 1x10^-9 m) Nanomaterials include nanoparticles (usually magnetic iron oxide, or noble metals like gold or silver), quantum dots (which are semiconductor nanoparticl

The Coral Castle is on the west coast of Florida state. A guy named Edward Leedskalnin built it several years ago. It's made out of huge stones carved, positioned, and balanced with incredible accuracy. Reportedly, Mr. Leedskalnin used no standard machinery, e.g., cranes, trucks, peumatic lifts, to create his castle. When questioned about how he had moved stones weighing several tons into place, he commented that he understood the secrets the Egyptians used to build the pyramids. More i
Using RAID can improve performance or security of data and data transfer on any computer (that has drives that support). RAID is a system for sharing or duplicating data among various harddisks. Depending on which level one sets RAID up a person can get increased data integrity, fault-tolerence, and/or capactity than single disk drives.

I Found Out What Lorem Ipsum Was Yesterday.
[quote]Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently wit
