Knife Can Freeze Organs

It looks like an ordinary knife but this blade can explode and instantly freeze a victim’s organs.

The Wasp knife ejects a high-pressure gas through a needle in the blade at the touch of a button and the Met Police now fear it could end up on the streets.

‘This knife will almost certainly kill and the Met must have intelligence that they are in circulation,’ said a police source.

The £200, US-made weapon is designed to kill sharks and bears and is normally sold to hunters and pilots. However, the internet has made such weapons much easier to find and buy over in the U.K.

This weapon injects a frozen ball of compressed gas approximately the size of a basketball at 800psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world’s largest land predators. The effects of the compressed gas not only cause over-inflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea. When used underwater, the injected gas carries the predator to the surface BEFORE blood is released into the water. Thus giving the diver added protection by diverting other potential predators to the surface.

Quantum Computers Coming Closer

This is the dream of the NSA, the quantum Computer and the promise of breaking any code in a matter of minutes,
Quantum computing , it is said will be the final step that ushers in the “computational singularity”

The strange world of quantum mechanics can provide a way to surpass limits in speed, efficiency and accuracy of computing, communications and measurement, according to research by MIT scientist Seth Lloyd.

Quantum mechanics is the set of physical theories that explain the behavior of matter and energy at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. It includes a number of strange properties that differ significantly from the way things work at sizes that people can observe directly, which are governed by classical physics.

“There are limits, if you think classically,” said Lloyd, a professor in MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics and Department of Mechanical Engineering. But while classical physics imposes limits that are already beginning to constrain things like computer chip development and precision measuring systems, “once you think quantum mechanically you can start to surpass those limits,” he said.

“Over the last decade, a bunch of my colleagues and postdocs and I have been looking at how quantum mechanics can make things better.” What Lloyd refers to as the “funky effects” of quantum theory, such as squeezing and entanglement, could ultimately be harnessed to make measurements of time and distance more precise and computers more efficient. “Once you open your eyes to the quantum world, you see a whole lot of things you simply cannot do classically,” he said.

Among the ways that these quantum effects are beginning to be harnessed in the lab, he said, is in prototypes of new imaging systems that can precisely track the time of arrival of individual photons, the basic particles of light.

“There’s significantly greater accuracy in the time-of-arrival measurement than what one would expect,” he said. And this could ultimately lead to systems that can detect finer detail, for example in a microscope’s view of a minuscule object, than what were thought to be the ultimate physical limitations of optical systems set by the dimensions of wavelengths of light.

In addition, quantum effects could be used to make much-more-efficient memory chips for computers, by drastically reducing the number of transistors that need to be used each time data is stored or retrieved in a random-access memory location. Lloyd and his collaborators devised an entirely new way of addressing memory locations, using quantum principles, which they call a “bucket brigade” system. A similar, enhanced scheme could also be used in future quantum computers, which are expected to be feasible at some point and could be especially adept at complex operations such as pattern recognition.

Another example of the potential power of quantum effects is in making more accurate clocks, using the property of entanglement, in which two separate particles can instantaneously affect each other’s characteristics.

While some of these potential applications have been theorized for many years, Lloyd said, experiments are “slowly catching up” to the theory. “We can do a lot already,” he said, “and we’re hoping to demonstrate a lot more” in coming years.

Obamas Depicted in Bad Light on New Yorker Cover

Ok, I must admit I find this caricature of the Obamas which appeared on the cover of the New Yorker to be entertaining, hilarious and reminiscent of the black panthers of the 1960’s.

It immediately brings to mind the slogan “black power” and it definitely communicates a dark undertone that the Obamas may have an agenda in the white house that very few of us would appreciate.

Of course the New Yorker describes this as pure satire, that it was just meant as a joke to communicate the ridiculous nature of some of the rumors that the Obamas have had to contend with during a good portion of the presidential campaign and that there was no harm intended.

However there are plenty of folks I’m sure that will see this and let their opinion be swayed because of it.

I must give my opinion here on his wife, Michelle Obama, If I never heard her speak and saw for myself what an intelligent, educated and articulate woman she actually is, I would see her as totally “Ghetto”, to me, she just has that look, her facial make-up and the way she carries herself physically, hey, what can I say, thats how I see it.

Can Iranian Missiles Reach Europe

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon said on Tuesday that Iran has the ability to launch a ballistic missile capable of hitting sections of eastern and southern Europe.

Air Force Lt. Gen. Trey Obering, director of the Missile Defense Agency, told reporters he believes Iran now has a missile with a range of 1,250 miles, but he declined to say whether the weapon has been test-fired.

Iran said last week it conducted two missile tests involving a number of weapons including what Iranian state television called a “new” Shahab-3 missile, a medium-range missile that could be used to strike Israel.

Tensions over Iran’s missile arsenal and accusations from the United States and its allies that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons have roiled international financial markets with fears of a possible military confrontation.

Iran denies it wants nuclear weapons and says its nuclear program is designed to produce electricity to increase its output of oil and natural gas.

Older versions of the Shahab-3 have an 800-mile (1,300-km) range. But a new extended version is believed to have a range of up to 1,250 miles, making it capable of hitting targets as far away as Greece, Serbia, Romania and Belarus.

Iran is also developing a solid-fuel missile known as the Ashura with a range of 1,250 miles, according to the Pentagon.

U.S. officials and independent missile experts have said last week’s tests involved no new or enhanced technology, or even the latest generations of missiles known to be in Iran’s arsenal.

Obering did not dispute those assertions in a briefing for Pentagon officials on Tuesday.

But his description of Iran’s missile capability was stronger than what U.S. officials have said up to now.

“The Iranians themselves are describing … a 2,000-km range missile launch,” Obering said of last week’s tests, adding that Iran also claimed to have such a missile in November.

“I believe, based on what I have seen, that they have the ability to do that and to continue to advance in the future, based on what I have seen so far from those (Iranian state media) reports and from the intelligence reports,” he added.

“I won’t go into detail as to what was fired when. That’s something I think the intel community should answer,” he said.

The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, which monitors major weapons threats to the United States and its allies, was more vague in its February 27 testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“Iran continues to develop and acquire ballistic missiles that can hit Israel and central Europe, including Iranian claims of an extended-range variant of the Shahab-3 and a new 2,000-km medium range ballistic missile called the Ashura,” DIA director Army Lt. Gen. Michael Maples told the panel.

U.S. officials and analysts dismissed last week’s missile tests as an angry Iranian response to recent military exercises including an Israeli air exercise in June that some have called a rehearsal for an attack on Iran.

The Bush administration has used concern about Iranian missiles to press forward with plans for a missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, capable of protecting both Europe and the United States from attack.

Washington and the Czech Republic signed an agreement last week to place missile-tracking radar on Czech soil. U.S. officials are now hoping for a deal to station the system’s interceptor missiles in Poland.

Busted Hacker May Get Job With Cops

Nine months ago Whitianga teenager Owen Walker faced the possibility of extradition by the FBI for cyber crime. Yesterday he walked free from the High Court in Hamilton with the prospect of a career with the New Zealand police or an overseas computer company before him. In an extraordinary move backed by police, Justice Judith Potter discharged the 18-year-old without conviction on some of the most sophisticated cyber crime seen in New Zealand. Walker’s solemn, nervous expression gave way to a delighted smile as he heard the decision, while the small group of family and friends who accompanied him to court looked thrilled and relieved. Outside the court, Walker and his supporters had little to say about the decision and his future, but his mother, Shell Moxham-Whyte said she hoped he would remain in New Zealand.

The decision follows months of international investigation and the first prosecution of its kind in New Zealand. Prosecutions in the United States and the Netherlands have also resulted.

In April Walker pleaded guilty to six charges including accessing a computer for dishonest purpose, damaging or interfering with a computer system, possessing software for committing crime, and accessing a computer system without authorization. The crimes carry maximum sentences of up to seven years’ imprisonment.

Crown prosecutor Ross Douch acknowledged in court that Walker had gained limited financial benefit from his activities and although he had the ability to use his botnet for fraudulent activity, he had not done so.

He raised the prospect of a discharge without conviction in court and disclosed that the police were interested in using his skills.

Walker’s lawyer Tony Balme said a discharge would enable Walker to offer his very considerable talents to law enforcement agencies.

“If he has a clean record, he would be able to engage in that activity on the right side of the law - a poacher turned gamekeeper scenario.”

Through family encouragement, Walker had made considerable gains in terms of socialisation and maturity in recent months, he said. A psychologist confirmed that he suffered from mild Aspergers Syndrome, a form of autism, but some of those symptoms had recently disappeared.

Justice Potter referred to an affidavit received from Walker yesterday in which he said he had received approaches about employment from large overseas companies and interest from the New Zealand police.

Walker’s offending was serious but fortunately stopped before it went too far, she said. He was not motivated by criminal intent or maliciousness but by his intense interest in computers and his ability to achieve amazing things. He had an outstanding future and a conviction would stand in his way.

Ordering him to pay his share of the damage to Pennsylvania University’s computer system of $9526, relinquish computer-related assets to the police and pay costs of $5000 at a minimum of $400 a month, she discharged him and wished him well.

Later Waikato crime services manager Detective Inspector Peter Devoy welcomed the sentence as a positive outcome and was unconcerned about the possible lack of deterrent. He declined to elaborate on any plans to employ Walker. It was a matter of potential interest rather than actual interest, he said.

National manager of the police’s e-crime laboratory Maarten Kleinjtes said Walker had some unique ability and was at the top of his Game.
