Cars in the Next Lane Do Go Faster Thursday, May 11, 2006

"When driving on the motorway, have you ever wondered about (and cursed) the fact that cars in the other lane seem to be getting ahead faster than you?"
Yah and here is the reason why is it so: Check it out
Astonishing Twins Thursday, May 4, 2006
Posted by jamshaid in Science & Technology, Simply Strange.52 comments
Today i got an email from a friend about this twins. Whats very surprising about them as you can see in the pic below, is that the two little girls are different coloured – one white and the other black!
A mixed-race British mom has given birth to twins – one of each. No, not a boy and a girl, two girls – one black, the other white. The odds of such a birth are about a million to one, experts said. "It was a shock when I realized that my twins were two different colors," Kylie Hodgson, 19, told London's Daily Mail. "But it doesn't matter to us – they are just our two gorgeous little girls." Hodgson and her partner, Remi Horder, 17, were both born to mixed-race parents. Little Kian and Remee share a love of apples and the Teletubbies, their proud mom says. Fertility experts speculate that a sperm containing all-white genes fused with an egg with all-white genes, and a sperm with all-black genes fused with an all-black gene egg to produce the fraternal twins.
Nano Circuit Friday, March 24, 2006

The first computer circuit to be built on a single molecule has been unveiled by researchers in the US. It was assembled on a single carbon nanotube, a standard component of any nanotechnologist’s toolkit.
The circuit is less than a fifth of the width of a human hair and can only be seen through an electron microscope.
The researchers, from IBM and two US universities in Florida and New York, told the journal Science that the work could lead to faster computer chips. [ Read More ]
100 Times Stronger Bionic Muscles Saturday, March 18, 2006

Scientists have developed artificial, super-strength muscles which are powered by alcohol and hydrogen.
“The muscle consumes oxygen and fuel that can be transported via a circulation system; the muscle itself supports the chemical reaction that leads to mechanical work; electrochemical circuits can act as nerves, controlling actuation; some energy is stored locally in the muscle itself; and, like natural muscle, the materials studied contract linearly.”

Basic Chem: DiHydrogen Monoxide Saturday, March 18, 2006
Posted by jamshaid in Science & Technology.add a comment
I got an email about this chemical compound a few months ago, checked my junk mail folder and I found it. I even located the originating source which is this website.
As you all know, not all people are familiar with chemical terms, these terms if used incorrectly can prove to be misleading so it is important to study the formula if it bears the right formatting.
The email presented me the dangers of the compound citing numerous examples and scenarios but hey, I’m too smart to be mislead by this. Just for the fun of it, check out the facts about Dihydrogen Monoxide and be scared about it.
If you can’t figure out what it is, click here.

Amateurs Crack German WWII Cipher #2 Wednesday, March 15, 2006
Posted by jamshaid in Computers, Science & Technology.add a comment
They had cracked the first of the three German WWII cipher last month. I had written about it and it worths reading for an introduction about these group of amateurs code crackers involved in an online project called “Project M4″. [ Read about it here ]
Well now they have cracked the second one.
The cipher was..
“TMKF NWZX FFII YXUT IHWM DHXI FZEQ VKDV MQSW BQND YOZF TIWM JHXH YRPA CZUG RREM VPAN WXGT KTHN RLVH KZPG MNMV SECV CKHO INPL HHPV PXKM BHOK CCPD PEVX VVHO ZZQB IYIE OUSE ZNHJ KWHY DAGT XDJD JKJP KCSD SUZT QCXJ DVLP AMGQ KKSH PHVK SVPC BUWZ FIZP FUUP”
and the solution is…
Found nothing on convoy’s course 55°, [I am] moving to the ordered [naval] square. Position naval square AJ 3995. [wind] south-east [force] 4, sea [state] 3, 10/10 cloudy, [barometer] [10]28 mb [and] rising, fog, visibility 1 nautical mile
Only the third cipher remains unsolved so far and it is something like this.
“HCEY ZTCS OPUP PZDI UQRD LWXX FACT TJMB HDVC JJMM ZRPY IKHZ AWGL YXWT MJPQ UEFS ZBCT VRLA LZXW VXTS LFFF AUDQ FBWR RYAP SBOW JMKL DUYU PFUQ DOWV HAHC DWAU ARSW TXCF VOYF PUFH VZFD GGPO OVGR MBPX XZCA NKMO NFHX PCKH JZBU MXJW XKAU OD?Z UCVC XPFT”
soon this will also get cracked.
