Circumventing Antivirus via Transmutation

Researchers at Kumatori Accelerator-driven Reactor Test Facility (KART) (Economist article, if you subscribe) have discovered a way to forcibly decay radioactive waste (neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, etc.) into less-lethal isotopes of elements that are only radioactive for years, instead of tens of thousands or tens of million years. Essentially, they slam radioactive waste with a neutron beam that adds mass to the radioactive waste, causing it to transmutate into another element, which in turn causes it to decay faster. This got me thinking, if you can slam an element with with a neutron beam to create a new element, well, maybe you can do the same thing to a file in order to avoid "pesky Anti-Virus"?read more

Space camera streams data during flight

Take the risk of not recovering your hardware out of a near-space camera launch by streaming the data during flight. [Tim Zaman] is part of a team that developed the rig seen above. It sent 119 image back during the recent balloon launch. This included transmissions from as high as 36 kilometers.

The main hardware included a BeagleBoard with connected Webcam housed in a Styrofoam cooler for thermal protection. Pair that with a GPS module for location tracking, and a GPRS module for data transmission and you’re in business.

But that’s not all that went up. The team built a backup hardware module in case the primary failed. This one also had a GPS and GPRS radio, but was driven by an Arduino.

The radio connection made it easy to recover the hardware. GPS data led the team directly to the landing site. The package came to rest on the roof of a building, but we guess that’s more convenient than getting snagged at the top of a huge tree.

Don’t miss the hardware detail video that we’ve embedded after the breakread more

Boost Your Wi-Fi Signal Without Software

Improving your Wi-Fi signal is not this complicated.There's all sorts of stuff you can do to your Wi-Fi router's software to improve its signal strength. I think that's a pain in the ass. Let's do it in less than a minute and without any keyboard-touching.

How to get your own Rapidshare Premium Account

Hello Friends,

Everybody wants a personal Rapidshare premium account but not all can afford it. If you are one of those people who can’t afford it or don’t want to ask your parent to buy you one then there are only 2 ways of getting a Rapidshare premium account. First one is to hack a Rapidshare premium account of some other user. But Rapidshare guys are very smart. They provide users with a feature of locking their account due to which you will need access to the email account of that victim to change the password of that Rapidshare account. Thus you can only use that hacked account till the owner of that account changes the password. This one seems to be a temporary solution. Second way is to earn some easy bucks online and buy your own Rapidshare account. The second way may seem difficult at first but to tell you the truth its very easy.
