Foolish humans. Such hubris to think that we could dethrone Einsteinian special relativity, by virtue of a single experiment. Now it official: the notion that neutrinos could travel faster than the speed of light really was the result of a faulty kit. We suspected that s stanley water bottle omething was fishy back in February when OPERA physic stanley becher ists 鈥?those responsible for the initial announcement 鈥?started to call their results into question, on account of tec stanley termohrnek hnical glitches. Specifically, they were critical of an oscillator used to produce the event time-stamps in between the GPS synchronization and the connection of an optical fiber cable. Physicists explain technical glitches behind those faster-than-light neutrinos But nothing official was announced about the results, until now. Researchers made the admission to the science community today at the International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics which is being held in Kyoto, Japan. The previous data taken up to 2011 with the neutrino beam from CERN to Gran Sasso were revised taking into account understood instrumental effects, the team said. A coherent picture has emerged with both previous and new data pointing to a neutrino velocity consistent with the speed of light. Now, while this is certainly embarrassing, props go out to the scientific community for following this through to the end. Few studies in recent memory have undergone as much scrutiny as this one, mostly Ebmw Here Is Your One and Only Chance to Take the Wheel of a James Bond Car
Membership in the Anonymous hacker collective is not without its dangers鈥攁nd I don ;t mean just the 25 Guys in custody. Turns out that someone slipped a Trojan into some popular Anon DDoS software and has been stealing bank info from anyone that runs it. 25 Anonymous Suspects Arrested in Global Interpol Sting Slowloris is a popular, easy-to-use, distributed stanley termosar denial-of-service stanley canada DDoS program named in an Anonymous-backed list of attack tools that began circulating after the Feds yanked MegaUpload. Not on the approved list, however, was the Zeus Trojan that someone conveniently implanted in Slowloris around the same time. Zeus is a malicious piece of software designed to siphon banking credentials from infected systems. And with the poisonous version of Slowloris making the rounds in the MegaUpload backlash, countless users may have unwittingly compromised their own bank accounts in their attempts to play hacktivist. The exploit was discovered by Symantec. Not only will supporters be breaking the law by participating in DoS attacks on Anonymous hacktivism targets, Symantec wrote, but may also be at risk of having their online banking and email credentials stolen. So congratulations script kiddies, I ;m sure the satisfaction of knocking a few websites offline for a couple of hours in that online tantrum was totally worth opening your collective wallets to the Internet. I ;m equal stanley thermos mug ly sure that whichever slick sumbitch tha |
