- Army Shoots Down Artillery Shell with Laser -
The U.S. Army used a high-energy laser to shoot down an artillery shell in
mid-flight on Tuesday in a defense industry breakthrough, the Army and the
manufacturer said. The Army and TRW Inc, which developed the weapon,
said in a joint statement that the laser tracked, locked onto and fired a
burst of concentrated light energy photons at the speeding shell over the
White Sands test range in New Mexico. "Seconds later, at a point well short of
its intended destination, the projectile was destroyed," the Army's Space and
Missile Defense Command said.
- Fujitsu admits 4.9 million (potentially) defective HDDs - The
papers lodged with the court in California, in the $50 million action between
Cirrus Logic and Fujitsu (of Japan), confirm what observers had already
guessed, that - contrary to the blasé denials of any notable problems - there
is indeed an officially
acknowledged problem with the MPG3xxx series of drives. And Fujitsu knew
the massive scale and scope of the problem at least 18 months ago.
Cirrus Logic's case against Fujitsu for breach of contract was filed on 19th
October 2001 - over a year ago, as was Fujitsu's counterclaim for breach of
contract & breach of warranty.
- ST builds chips for gene detection -
The chip, technically called a MEMS (microelectromechanical system),
essentially performs several of the tasks involved in scanning DNA for genes,
a process that normally requires a battery of laboratory equipment, according
to Barbara Grieco, business development manager in ST's printhead and
microfluidics business unit. Additionally, the chip needs only few drops
of blood to conduct tests, less than current testing procedures, and performs
tests more rapidly.
- Kylix 3 has Plenty of Programming Power - It is not as if I am
new to Kylix. I am a Delphi programmer since version 1, and I always keep my
C++ skills up. So it was with great anticipation that I looked forward to the
release of Borland's Kylix 3, the Rapid Application Development environment
for Linux that includes both Delphi language and C++ IDE's (integrated
development environment).
The code produced with Kylix can be recompiled with minimal changes under
Microsoft Windows using either Delphi for Windows version 6 or greater, or
C++ Builder version 6 or greater.
- ATi did leak Doom III demo - A deep throated source, at id software
tells The
Inquirer that ATi was responsible for leaking the 380MB demo version of
the next installment of the gruesome classic. The company is now seeking to
trace the trail to see if it can find out where the demo was first posted.
Suspects include the Zelaron gaming forums (www.zelaron.com/forums) where an
early post was sighted. Another front runner, apparently, is Iownjoo.com.
- Software: Registry Cleaner Test - Nearly all of the most commonly
used
cleaners report many valid registry entries as invalid. This means only
one thing, those programs are very badly designed and coded. And what disturbs
me even more is that many of these software are commercial, I can't really
understand how any software company can sell this kind of software with full
price!

- FlashFXP 2.0 Build 905 -
FlashFXP is the
most powerful and popular FTP & FXP Client for Microsoft Windows
9x/Me/NT/2000/XP on the market today. This build resolves a small
problem that prevents users from successfully registering FlashFXP under WINE
(A windows emulator for linux). Incidently a new code fragment that was being
tested made its way into build 903/904 by mistake, as a result activating the
popup menu or pressing a menu accelerator while the "Parent Directory" is
selected in the local view resulted in an error. This has been resolved in
build 905.

| Comments from ritz | posted - 02:43 AM CET - Nov,06 2002 | | Not much of a shocker. Fujitsu's drives were some of the most RMAed items I had seen. I remember back in the old P2-450 days, I saw large amount of Fujitsu crap drives piling up at every computer store, waited to be RMAed or trashed. But nowadys consumers are lucky since very few retailers still carry Fuj's drives. | |
