See in this article from BBC, it says that ‘mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rating killing victims in fewer than 2 days. After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”’

NMAP if you haven’t heard of this prog, then you should probably download it. Its a port scanner that can be used to detect vulnerabilities in your or other peoples system, now the only catch it that its command based so if your in winNT, 2000, or XP type “cmd” in the Run box, if you are running 95, 98 etc type “command” in the abovesaid box. If you use a *nix based system, then you probably already have it, just try it in your shell.

Here’s an interesting site about cryptography

Okay… the guys at MIT were busy constructing a disco dance floor for a dance they were having. The floor itself is 128 square feet! It involves the operation of 1,536 LEDs that were hand soldered, it can render 4,096 colours, can be controlled through xmms, handles 30fps. FYI there were approx 20,000 hand soldered connections which is a lot of work. They have a whole story of the constuction and an ‘epilogue’… which is interesting at the least, however if you know the guys at MIT, it makes sense…

definately work checking out.
