23.10.2008Big Chunk Of The Universe Is Missing -- Again
A bit off-topic but nevertheless very interesting...
Not only has a large chunk of the universe thought to have been found
in 2002 apparently gone missing again but it is taking some friends with it, according to new research at The University of Alabama in Huntsville
(UAH). The new calculations might leave the mass of the universe as much as ten to 20 percent lighter than previously calculated.
The same UAH group that found what was theorized to be a significant fraction of the "missing mass" that binds together the universe has
discovered that some x-rays thought to come from intergalactic clouds of "warm" gas are instead probably caused by lightweight electrons.
If the source of so much x-ray energy is tiny electrons instead of hefty atoms, it is as if billions of lights thought to come from
billions of aircraft carriers were found instead to come from billions of extremely bright fireflies.

06.11.2007MISSING: Vista Ultimate Language Packs
If you thought the Ultimate Extras situation couldnt get any worse, then you have much to learn young Jedi, because rock bottom is only an illusion.
It appears that what was left of the Ultimate Extras - 16 language packs (I know, they are counted as extras) - have now been sucked into the void of
unknown.
Whether this is a widespread technical glitch or intentional symptom as a result of upgrades to the backend in
preparations for more and better Ultimate Extras remains to be speculated. Even if all my moneys on a technical glitch, there is still a quantum
chance the Ultimate Extras team will deliver on their latest promise to ship the final version of DreamScenes and the remaining 20 Language Packs
before the end of summer (September).
However for those of you who are in need of their language fix, a Channel9 member has
kindly posted the language pack

28.08.2007Why we're hard-wired to ignore Moore's Law
When
Gordon Moore made
his prediction in a 1965 issue of Electronic Magazine
(download PDF) that the number
of transistors on a chip would double every year (eventually updated by Moore to two years and then updated again by
Intel Corp. to 18 months), it was just a
"lucky guess" based on a few points of data, he recalled in an interview in 2006. But the idea, which has grown to encompass ever cheaper, ever
smaller, ever more powerful components, has so captivated the IT industry that you can't attend a technology conference without seeing at least one
PowerPoint presentation displaying the Moore's Law graph.

03.09.2009Where are the Extras?
Some people may have noticed that the
Windows Ultimate Extra Language packs went missing over the weekend, many suspected a prelude to new updated Extras. Turns out
it was in internal Microsoft process change that inadvertently caused the currently offered language packs to be withdrawn. They have resolved the
issue put the language packs back up and the contents have not been changed...here is a little more detail.
On Friday 24 August, an internal
process change inadvertently caused the current versions of the Windows Vista language packs offered as Ultimate Extras to be withdrawn earlier than
normal in preparation for release of new updates to these language packs. This situation has since been resolved and the language packs are once more
available to Windows Vista Ultimate customers via Windows Update. The content of the language packs themselves has not been changed.
Finer points
Validation of these language packs is handled in the same manner as security updates.
- If they are
accessed directly from Microsoft.com Download Center, then validation is required to download.
- If they are accessed via the Windows
Update control panel, then validation is required before updates will appear.
- If Automatic Update (AU) is enabled in Windows Update,
then all of these updates will install automatically. There is no validation on AU.

30.08.2007Are you missing some icons?
So you downloaded the new
8.0.0689 refresh, you sign in
and all is well. You sign out
and then sign in again some
time... but wait, where did
some of your icons go?
The WLM Beta team
received several reports from
users that some of their
dashboard icons and features
were missing when signing in
the second time and every time
after.
The
problem was a result of errors
within some of the programs
entry points which caused them
to vanish. However, the
problem was fixed by the team
and a fix has been sent out.
For the fix to apply, you must
sign out of WLM and sign back
in. If your icons are not
back, you have to wait about
30-60 more minutes and then
try again as it takes time for
the fix to reach every
country.

05.05.2006Scientists Create Missing Fourth Circuit Element (Memristor)
Researchers at HP Labs have built the first working prototypes of an important new electronic component that may lead to instant-on PCs as well as
analog computers that process information the way the human brain does.
The new component is called a memristor, or memory resistor. Up
until today, the circuit element had only been described in a series of mathematical equations written by Leon Chua, who in 1971 was an engineering
student studying non-linear circuits. Chua knew the circuit element should exist -- he even accurately outlined its properties and how it would work.
Unfortunately, neither he nor the rest of the engineering community could come up with a physical manifestation that matched his mathematical
expression.

03.05.2008How to fix Vistas Security Center from reporting missing or duplicate programs
The Windows Security Center which is included with Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista is a nice way of seeing the security status overview of your
system but sometimes it makes mistakes after you have uninstalled one or more programs and replaced them with others. Heres how to correct those
problems with Security Center.
Sometimes, after you have uninstalled a firewall, antivirus or malware detection program the entry
remains because the uninstaller failed to remove the entry from the Security Center either by design or just sloppy coding. Either way, you are not
stuck and this is easily fixed.

21.10.2008Millions of L-drivers' data lost (UK)
The details of three million candidates for the driving theory test have gone missing, Ruth Kelly has told MPs. Names, addresses and phone numbers -
but not financial data - were among details on a computer hard drive which went missing in the US in May. It belonged to a contractor to the Driving
Standards Agency, the transport secretary told MPs. It is the latest in a series of data losses since discs with 25m people's details on were lost
by HM Revenue. Earlier the chancellor told MPs there was no evidence of fraud after the loss of the child benefit data by Revenue and Customs in
October. Alistair Darling has been given an interim report into that loss, but said conclusions would be outlined in a full report out next year.

10.01.2007Microsoft Plans Tougher Action Pack Requirements

licenses with up to 10 Client

The Action Pack
