Researchers report that a spinal fluid test can be 100 percent accurate in identifying patients with significant memory loss who are on their way to developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Although there has been increasing evidence of the value of this and other tests in finding signs of Alzheimer’s, the study, which will appear Tuesday in the Archives of Neurology, shows how accurate they can be. The new result is one of a number of remarkable recent findings about Alzheimer’s.

After decades when nothing much seemed to be happening, when this progressive brain disease seemed untreatable and when its diagnosis could be confirmed only at autopsy, the field has suddenly woken up.

After reading this, it seems like a shitty time for President Obama to be pissy off the Israelis.

Imagine for a moment what the battlefield will look like in the future. Unmanned planes flying through the air; robots fighting on the ground; smart missiles hunting down targets. Now imagine that none of this can be detected on radar screens.

It may sound fictional, but it’s happening. An Israeli company called Nanoflight is currently developing a special paint that makes drones, missiles, or war craft simply disappear. Or, to be more precise, they become very difficult to detect.

The nanocoating achieves its radar trickery by absorbing the radio waves emitted by the radar and scattering them as heat energy enough so that when the radar gets the bounced back signal it is not regular enough to indicate an object.

If you want to find out what 1 hellameter is click here.

Please support the effort by spreading the Facebook campaign link!

Now, if you research on Google how much a hellameter would measure in light years, Google actually calculates it as if hella was an actual designation for 10^27.

Just for the record, 1 hellameter = 1.05702341 × 10^11 light years.

Sweet.

Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much further than the few hundred meters previously achieved, which brings us closer to transmitting information over long distances without the need for a traditional signal.

…

The experiments confirm the feasibility of space-based quantum teleportation, and represent a giant leap forward in the development of quantum communication applications.

I think this is pretty fucking cool! In fact, I think it’s HELLAcool!!

I have no idea what the fuck that this “The Official Petition to Establish “Hella-” as the SI Prefix for 10^27” will do or what impact they can possibly have but click the fucking link and show your support.

As science becomes increasing precise, and as computers provide the ability to crunch ever larger (and smaller) numbers, scientists are looking to name numbers with lots of zeroes. You’ve heard of mega, giga and tera. You might have even heard of yotta — which is a one followed by 24 zeroes. But now some scientists are petitioning the International System of Units to create a binary prefix for a one followed by 27 zeroes. This number, they think, should be called “hella”.
Hella Good: Scientists Petition to Name a Very Large Number

Fox News reports:

Founder of the campaign Austin Sendek, a physics student at the University of California, said recent breakthroughs in science meant SI needed to go further with its classification of long numbers.

“As you know, the largest number with a designated SI prefix is 10^24, which carries the name ‘yotta-,’” Sendek wrote. “However, in our world of increasing physical awareness and experimental precision, this number is no longer a satisfactory ‘upper bound’ in scientific nomenclature.”

Sendek and his petition signatories believe naming numbers in the 10^27 category is of “critical importance for scientists in all fields.” He said these numbers are vital to representing “the wattage of the sun, distances between galaxies, or the number of atoms in a large sample.”

The geniuses, Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell of Sysinternals (formerly Winternals before bought by Microsoft in 2006) have release a new utility for their suite of fucking awesome utilties.

If you are a sysadmin, then you know about them already. If not, suck it.

Process Explorer and BGinfo are standard on all of my machine images and they should be for you too.

Sysinternals has just released a new utility!

If that news doesn’t set your heart a-flutter, then you are not a Windows geek and you can just stop reading right now. But for us Windows geeks, today is a red-letter day, and you should go download RAMMap v1.0 right now. I’ll wait.

RAMMap is a memory analyzer, a lightweight tool (272KB) that gives you a very detailed look at exactly what is your system’s memory is up to right now. It presents its report in a tabbed dialog box whose opening page is a colorful, well-organized bar graph:
Where has your Windows memory gone? Check the map…

Download RAMMap v1.0 here.

One small caveat: It only runs on Windows Vista+ or Windows Server 2008+. Tough shit XP users…Similar Posts:

TL;DR: Kid gets a weeks worth of detention for having a jolly rancher from another student. School loses all common sense. Should be horse whipped.

ORCHARD, Texas – A third-grader at Brazos Elementary was given a week’s detention for possessing a Jolly Rancher.

School officials in Brazos County are defending the seemingly harsh sentence. The school’s principal and superintendent said they were simply complying with a state law that limits junk food in schools.

But the girl’s parents say it’s a huge overreaction.

A demo of a quantum calculation carried out by Japanese researchers has yielded some pretty mind-blowing results: a single molecule can perform a complex calculation thousands of times faster than a conventional computer.

A proof-of-principle test run of a discrete Fourier transform — a common calculation using spectral analysis and data compression, among other things — performed with a single iodine molecule transpired very well, putting all the molecules in your PC to shame.

I don’t know if you have tried to parse an URL yet for some sort of application. You might think it’s a relatively trivial excersize in string parsing. However…take a look at this:

<scheme>://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>;<parameters>?<query>#<fragment>

Here is a tutorial on the structure of an URL and all the characters and parameters that go into constructing one.

As a web developer you really have no excuse for not knowing everything there is to know about URLs, there is just not that much to them. But, I have found that even experienced developers often have some glaring holes in their knowledge of URLs. So, I thought I would do a quick tour of everything that every developer should know about URLs. Strap yourself in – this won’t take long :).
What Every Developer Should Know About URLs

Just for fun, here is a Stack Overflow question about parsing the domain name out of an URL.

You might find this PHP libary that ap dot public1 at gmail dot com posted on the parse_url PHP manual page.

The problem of parsing URLs seems to be a good example of computer support/administration as a whole. Something that seems very simple on the surface, often turns out to be incredibly complicated on the back end.Similar Posts:
