How To Build A Time Machine
Time travel has been a popular science-fiction theme since H. G. Wells wrote his celebrated novel The Time Machine in 1895. But can it really be done?
Is it possible to build a machine that would transport a human being into the past or future? For decades, time travel lay beyond the fringe of respectable science. But not anymoreā¦ Hereās how to build a time machine.
Gather the necessary materials. Youāll need rocks, a Sega Saturn, some celery, spaghetti noodles, thumbtacks, a port-o-potty, and a cellular telephone from the 1980ās.

Whilst this might be interesting to some, I canāt see the relevance of promoting what is in effect a competitive product on the official forum of Alwil software. Iām sure other official security software forums would take a dim view of promoting a competitors product.
no thanks-just posting it....i'll stick with the best-avast!
So why bother in the first place, please consider the above when thinking of effectively promoting/advertising a competitive product on the official forum āpaid forā by Alwil Software.
David, the only positive side-effect will be saying to Alwil that we want an anti-spyware, an anti-rootkit and a firewall from them. Donāt need to be integrated, as a suite, but it will be very good. A lot of companies have done this: from Grisoft (AVG) to Panda, from Kaspersky to BitDefenderā¦
Please, bring it backā¦ It wonāt hurt 8)

ESET Smart Security is a fully integrated security solution and includes antivirus, anti-spyware, a personal firewall and antispam. While some competitive solutions purport to have similar functionality, ESET has developed a unique approach that provides true and full integration of point security solutions. The key advantage of this approach is that individual protection modules are able to communicate together seamlessly, to create unparalleled synergy to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of protection. Moreover, the integrated architecture guarantees optimal utilization of system resources, so ESET Smart Security continues ESETās well know reputation for providing rock solid security in a small footprint that will not slow down an individualās computer.
ESET has achieved another milestone by developing a new security suite Eset Smart Security with integrated firewall and an antispam module which has been made available as a beta for public testing. The new suite brings many new features, such as:
Integrated firewall and antispam module
Improved graphical user interface
2 operating modes for common and advanced users
Improved and automatised cleaning
True incremental updates
Export / import settings
Features that will be encorporated in the final version or future beta versions and donāt need to be reported:
Context menu integration
Connecting to Remote Administrator server
Manual submission of suspicious files
Exclusions in the real-time scanner
Before installation, we strongly recommend that you uninstall any other antivirus program and firewall that you might have installed.
Please remember that this is still a BETA which may suffer from severe bugs. We do not recommend installing it on production systems.
If you come across an issue, please contact ESETās technical support via the integrated support form.

25-Year Old Computers
Ah, the memories: PM Compares 6 Top Computers (Jan, 1982).
http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2007/04/12/pm-compares-6-top-computers/?Qwd=./PopularMechanics/1-1982/top_six_computers&Qif=top_six_computers_0.jpg&Qiv=thumbs&Qis=XL#qdig
Hereās an excerpt:
All computers use different formats for storing and retrieving programs. Here are the three formats.
Cassettes: Many people start out with a tape recorder to save and load programs. This allows you to use a $30 to $50 tape recorder, instead of a disc drive that costs hundreds of dollars. Information is stored on tape as a series of two tones.
Computers think in a binary language, all information computer organizes these into words called bytes.) Each binary āpulseā is assigned an audio frequency. By recording the binary pulses as tones, programs are stored. By decoding the tones into pulses, the programs can be loaded into the computer. On tape this is slow, but itās better than typing in a 100-line program every time you want to use it.
But for data storage-forget tape. If you have an hour-long tape and the information you need is at the tapeās end, it will take an hour to search for it.
Floppy discs: Made out of the same material as audio tape, floppy discs are housed in plastic jackets that never come off. Instead, jacket and all are inserted into a disc drive, where a record/playback head reads the disc through a cutout in the jacket.
The discs spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. A disc with a radius of only 5-1/4 inches can store about 200,000 bits of information (each ābitā has room for a letter of English). A disc stores or retrieves programs and data in just a few seconds.
Cartridges: Many computers accept plug-in cartridges. We donāt like them for many reasons. First, theyāre expensive, compared to tape or disc. But more important, their programs canāt be studied or changed.

Google pays $3.1 billion for DoubleClick :
That $1.65 billion Google paid for YouTube last year? That was chump change.
The big G has finished negotiations to buy online advertising giant DoubleClick for $3.1 billion. This will give Google a major foothold in visual advertising online. Google makes most of its money currently from relevant text advertising.
Microsoft and Google had been engaged in a bidding war over DoubleClick. While itāll take a lot of advertising revenue to make up for the largest purchase in Googleās history, you canāt put a price on beating Microsoft in the race for web dominance.
Microsoft had been trying to catch up to Google in the online advertising business, and DoubleClick is one heck of a chess piece. If Microsoft had won, the company would have immediately become a serious contender. With Google winning the bid, itāll be that much harder for Microsoft to get a strong foothold in the online advertising market.
An interesting sidenote: Doubleclick made $300 million in revenue last year. Either Google has really big plans for the company and its technologies, or this is a long term investment. Or both.

Why Canāt A Computer Be More Like A Brain?
Jeff Hawkins (founder of Palm Computing) discusses creating a software platform that will allow computers to learn like humans. āMy colleagues and I have been pursuing that approach for several years, and we have made significant progressā¦ā

Thanks for the link Dan, Iāve been reading about this for some time and it WILL Happen in the next 50 years. Dr Michio Kaku http://www.mkaku.org/ (Whom I am a big fan of) has been talking about this and other human advances for some time.
