A Puppie

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

I have a dog, Tony for like 10 years or so

he’s a mix of Irish setter and some bird hunting dog

now, Tony has been mixing with a neighbors German terrier female dog named Beta

and Beta has been mixing herself with maaaany dogs but she prefers tony

Tony is a gentleman

he’s also shy, has a lot of tolerance to anything

I guess kids could rip him to pieces and he wouldn’t mind ;)

Beta jumps over the fence to come to my back yard and see Tony

and one morning when I woke up I saw her in Tony’s house with blood on Tony’s blanket and a little black thing next to her

she gave birth :shock: to a small puppy

Tony could be the father

but so could any of the other dogs she hang out with

I won’t call her by the name I should call her

I’m a gentleman too :mrgreen: :cool:

now the puppy looks just like her

and Tony was the gentleman to sleep outdoors on grass while she was busy inside his house with the puppy

I called the neighbor the next day and he picked Beta and her puppy

but the next morning there she was again in Tony’s house with her puppy

she jumped over the fence probably while holding the puppy in her teeth and came here

she must really like Tony :?:

here are some pics from today

Virus Attacks Tumor Brain Cells

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

now that’s a nice feature

the researchers at the Yale University used a kind of rabies virus called vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) to kill human tumor cells implanted into mice

and it works, tumor cells get attacked and die while normal cells do not react with the virus

Cold Boot Attacks on Encryption Keys

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

the idea of using encryption for your hard drive is to protect your private data

but, it seems that this kind of protection is not as safe as it used to be any more

the thing is, now you can make a copy of RAM (computer memory) as soon as it is turned of or at any time if the computer is in sleep mode and you’ll find the encryption key there

many disk encryption programs are at risk, including Windows BitLocker, linux dm-crypt and Mac software

take a look at this video

MSI Heat Powered Cooling Fan

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

MSI wants to save on electricity so they’re building a cooling fan to run not on electricity but on the heat produced by the computer motherboard.

they use a Stirling engine where the heat makes the gas expand and move the pistons thereby generating fan movement

while I think this is a great idea, I wouldn’t use it since the fan puts dust in the air and I’m allergic to dust/dust mites

here’s a video of the device
