Solar Storm – Reloaded

After my last post on Solar Storms and my discussions with a few people I decided to write a follow on piece as to what it means to the ordinary person in their home.

Remember that the Solar Storm we are looking at is one of nature’s regular cycles.   It will be put down [...]

Mother Nature sneezes

Despite all the weapons we develop and the way we go about our business nothing comes close to Mother Nature in sheer force. No matter what hits, a hurricane, tsunami, volcano it almost always devastates more than any human force can do. Even our doomsday devices, nuclear bombs, biological weapons and their like, are [...]

Rejuvenation

Researchers have found a new way of repairing damaged nerve connections in mice. OK, still a long way from human use but never the less still a step forward which will bring hope to millions as well as opening new avenues of research in prosthetics and augmentation.

Now it seems to me that there [...]

Goverment mandated injections for the plebs coming soon

Scientists seem to be on the brink of developing a vaccine to immunize us against stress. A vaccine that will help us relax.

Sounds great. For all those out there that suffer from stress this appears to be a godsend. A cure for everyday living that would help them have a productive and stress [...]

The power of the oppressor state

With the power to monitor what anyone looks at on the web comes to ability to understand how you think. What your interests are and how active you are in the pursuit of those interests.

It doesn’t really matter if your system is encrypted or if you delete your cache and web history every [...]

Who persecutes the persecutors?

With the introduction of miniature recording equipment that can record for later viewing almost anything and thus show third parties, such as a court, exactly what happened rather than taking the word of someone, usually someone with something to hide, we actually were able to prove and disprove very quickly what the truth was. [...]

Robot aids

I’m not clear on the procedure used for a breast biopsy but I’ve just had the process for prostate biopsy explained to me and I think I’d have to have a general anaesthetic to have one. Now it appears that both these procedures are simple enough so that a robot can do them without [...]

The Judas Gene

The Judas Gene was a book I read where the bio weapon was triggered by genes that were only found in Jews. Al that time the Jews were the boogie men but times have changed and …. Err…. OK. Forget that.

Anyway this team have developed nanoparticles that attack certain genes in mosquitos, and [...]

One man’s dissident

As more and more data flows across the internet in the form of photographs and small text messages like twitter and SMS it becomes much easier for the bad guys to hide information among all this which makes the security services job all but impossible. They are mainly relegated to sifting data after the [...]

Low Tech vs High Tech

Hundreds of officers, one-tenth of the UK’s armed police, sniffer dog handlers, 20 armoured cars, several helicopters and several RAF Tornados were involved in the multimillion pound manhunt for Raoul Moat. It is going to be one of the most expensive manhunts in Britain.

All that high tech gear against a lone camper, albeit [...]
