At an estimated $333 million unit cost the C-17 Globemaster III is the newest purpose-built cargo aircraft to enter the United States and Western air forces. And it is also handy if you need to say, Move a BUS!

The  Boeing B-52 Stratofortress long-range, jet strategic bomber may be over 50 years old but because of its design the aircraft still has the longest range of any bomber and carries a heavy strategic or tactical weapons load.

This was hanging every 2 feet at my local theater here in Toronto. Just another reason I’ll probably just be staying home to watch the DVD instead…

The flower hat jelly (Olindias formosa) is a rare species of jellyfish occurring primarily in Brazil, Argentina, and off southern Japan. Characterized by lustrous tentacles that coil and adhere to its rim when not in use, the flower hat jelly’s bell is translucent and pinstriped with opaque bands, making it easily recognizable.

Its sting is nonlethal but painful, and its diet consists mostly of small fishes. The flower hat jelly can grow to be about 15cm (6 inches) in diameter. - wiki

Both Jupiter and Saturn have magnetic fields much stronger than Earth’s (Uranus, Neptune and Mercury are also magnetic), and both have large radiation belts. Aurora has been observed on both, most clearly with the Hubble Space Telescope.

These auroras seem, like Earth’s, to be powered by the solar wind. In addition, however, Jupiter’s moons, especially Io, are also powerful sources of auroras. These arise from electric currents along field lines (”field aligned currents”), generated by a dynamo mechanism due to relative motion between the rotating planet and the moving moon. Io, which has active volcanism and an ionosphere, is a particularly strong source, and its currents also generate radio emissions, studied since 1955. - wiki

The calculation of the structure takes about 60 gigabytes of space on a computer, or enough space to hold about 15,000 songs in MP3 format. It took 18 researchers from the United States and Europe four years to produce the E8 calculation and 77 hours for a U.S. supercomputer called Sage 77 to provide the solution

E8 is the most complex Lie group known, a 453,060 by 453,060 matrix that exists only in abstract mathematics. Because of its large size, solving its structure was not possible until computing power could improve, according to Jeffrey Adams, the project leader and a mathematics professor at the University of Maryland.

“E8 was discovered over a century ago, in 1887, and until now, no one thought the structure could ever be understood,” said Adams in a statement. “This groundbreaking achievement is significant both as an advance in basic knowledge, as well as a major advance in the use of large-scale computing to solve complicated mathematical problems.”

Industry experts say a realistic digital video display is the final hurdle that will completely digitize one-armed bandits. The new displays by PureDepth and others — set to debut this year — could profoundly change the $85 billion US gambling industry and how it’s regulated.

In Warner’s Top Secret polls - 60% chose the Internet as what brought them to the theater.

And at IMAX - that number grew to 68%.

These numbers show a HUGE growth in the Internet’s growing pull for where people decide to see their weekend movies. Of course - the traditional commercials are MySpaced and YouTubed into Viral attacks. The exposure on AICN and CHUD and DARKHORIZONS and SUPERHEROHYPE, etc… have continued to grow. All your personal bloggings have really begun to affect why 300 has done so well.

Looks like another blow for the old machine!

Raff publicly disclosed the vulnerability in a post on his blog on Wednesday.

When a person going to a web page cancels that navigation, its URL (universal resource locator) or address is passed on to a so-called browser resource page on the computer called “navcancl.htm.”

That resource creates a link so the user can reload or refresh the page of the site they were trying to visit. It is possible for an attacker to “inject” a script into the generated “refresh the page” link, which would be executed when the user clicks on it, Raff wrote.

“To perform a phishing attack, an attacker can create a specially crafted navcancl.htm local resource link with a script that will display a fake content of a trusted site,” Raff wrote.
