WordPress.com "DOWN" Because of DDoS Attacks

Internet users since the last two days might not have time to visit a number of prominent sites. In fact, to this day, blogs are located at Wordpress.com still can not be opened in Indonesia.

This caused the death of WordPress server because of DDos attacks (distributed denial of service). In a statement, Wordpress stated that the attack traffic to their data centers reach several gigabits per second and sending millions of packets per second. No half-hearted, three data centers WordPress property in Chicago, San Antonio, and Dalla, the U.S., down by it.

This event not only causes the web address Wordpress.com not accessible, but also make about 25 million Internet sites and blogs address the expected use Wordpress.com service could not be accessed. Including leading media sites like TechCrunch and the Financial Post that get premium service.

The attack has happened twice. First on Thursday (03/03/2011) morning and had time to stop the Wordpress.com service for about three hours. Service was back to normal, before it was hit by a second attack on Friday (03/04/2011) morning U.S. time or Saturday afternoon. The second attack can be solved within one hour. However, the Wordpress.com service has not fully recovered to be accessed from all countries.

From China

"This is the largest and most deadly attacks that we face in the six-year history of our trip. We suspect it is based on political motives to silence the blogs that do not speak English, but we are still investigating and have not confirmed the exact cause," wrote Matt Mullenweg , founder of WordPress, in an e-mail reported by PCWorld.

According to Mullenweg, one of which is the address of the attacks targeted the Chinese-language blog using Wordpress. Address blog is also included in the list of blocked Baidu's Internet search service in China. WordPress does not know what the reason for the blog address to be targets of attacks and would not release his identity before the mitigation is completed.

"The majority of attacks coming from China (98 percent) and less from Japan and Korea," Mullenweg said, as reported by TechCrunch.

Usually such attacks take advantage of botnets or programs that have infected many computers in different parts of the world. Performer enable thousands of programs from a distance and ordered to flooded traffic a site at the same time to not be able to process so down.

Environmentally Friendly Electric Car, Public Lies

Tesla Roadster test trip Melbourne-Brisbane, Australia

NEW ZEALAND - Claim electric-powered vehicles (electric vehicle / EV) is an environmentally friendly public lie. This was revealed by Clive Matthew-Wilson, editor of industry observers at the same time Zealand's Dog & Lemon Guide car advice.com quoted as saying, today (21 / 3).

According to Clive observation, when all cars are powered by electricity will certainly add to the burden of household electricity consumption. Means, the supply of energy from power plants also swell. With the increasing demand of power supply, it is not possible to increase power center (PLT)-whether it be nuclear, atomic, or others-which included one of the biggest polluters.

The definition of public deceit dati Clive, environmentally friendly cars that had remained a supplier of gas carbon dioxide (CO2). Only, the indirect nature of the vehicle, but was transferred to the central power plant.

He took a concrete example of testing an electric car Tesla Roadster from Melbourne to Brisbane, Australia. The trial is at once ambitious record of the world's longest journey using electric cars. According to him, this trip requires electrical energy is wasteful and transferring gas carbon dioxide (CO2) more than the road to the PLT.

According to Tesla, the condition of the battery is full, the car can go as far as 360-394 km. Meaning, each traveling 3,000 km, cars need to recharge the eight or nine times using voltage 24 volt socket.

"Claims like the Tesla electric car that only emission-free public lies. Use of electric cars the same way to transfer pollution from power plants, which are far more severe because it uses coal generating more CO2," explained Clive.

Clive continued, a new electric car can claim to be free of pollution if they do re-charging (charging) using renewable energy (non-fossil) and environmentally friendly. Therefore, he continued, increasing popularity of electric cars is the same worsen pollution in the earth for a long time, if there is no effort to encourage the use of new energy.

"Many alternative energy industries to overcome problems created only briefly. In fact, all this technology there's nothing economical, does not work properly. It is very disturbing to see air of politicians and business leaders on television promoting the use of economic fantasy fantasy technology," said Clive.

Nissan scan they vehicle from Radioactive

Nissan cars exported from the port Oppama

Thanks to YouTube, Japanese Students Know Their Families Safe

Once an earthquake measuring 9 in Japan rocked on Friday (3/11/2011) Last week, Japan's telephone networks immediately interrupted. All busy trying meghubungi relatives, friends, or colleagues in Japan, eager to know he was doing. But, alas, the phone is not too connected.

Akiko vocabulary, students from Japan who was studying at the University of California at Riverside, United States, have lost hope about the safety of his family in Minami Sanriku. Moreover, the village inhabited by about 17,000 heads of families reportedly have been destroyed, leaving many casualties as high as a result of ocean waves more than 3 meters.

Vocabulary for three days trying to figure out his family situation. New at day-4 post-disaster he received an e-mail that her sister, Yukiko, have been rescued and evacuated in a school.

Rear Glass Cars For Subwoofer

Rear glass membrane will directly serve as speaker, not as shown in the picture. Speakers mounted under the rear glass

Director of Magna International Inc. products, Greg Rizzo said the company has successfully made the rear glass as a sub-woofer for sound systems in cars. "We have successfully made the rear glass as a speaker," he explained while demonstrating AcoustiVision on Chrylser 300 and reported by the Detroit News yesterday.

Explained, Magna using the rear glass panel as a speaker membrane and attach the two eksiter at the bottom. Explained, this subwoofer amplifier that is activated by the trunk. Amplier duty to raise the voltage from 12 volts to 200 volts. Voltage flows into a eksiter and produce sound.

Manufactured in 2015

For this, the glass sealant was given which allowed him to move up and down to produce bass or low frequencies. "This is a new way to menghasilkansuara in the car," said Rizzo. Added, will also be applied to the tweeter in front. However, replacing glass technology subwoofer, according to him is a big breakthrough.

Further, the advantages of using glass as a membrane behind the subwoofer, audio systems will be reduced weight, less power consumption and space required is not much. Understandably, a large subwoofer, often confiscate luggage space, is now integrated in the rear glass.

Exposed, on the basis of the glass panel mounted electronic components. The sound produced by the rear glass is not heard outside. This technology has been developed over the past four years and only now achieving results in accordance with the desired. The next step dalah make glass components in high volume and ensure that contracts with car manufacturers. Magna estimates are able to market the rear glass that also functions as the subwoofer is in 2015.

Piezoelectric tube

Although Rizzo did not explain the details behind the development of glass as a subwoofer, is actually the invention of this concept has been discussed, car audio experts in 2005. One is the Urban Emborg, President A2 Acustics from Sweden. It is said, the glass rear speakers - also called giant subwoofer - can be installed easily. The reason, glass and electrical components can be packaged in one unit before being installed in the car

The concept behind the glass subwoofer A2 is a small tube diameter of 10 mm, fitted lined up at the bottom of the rear glass. The tube is made of material "piezoelectric". This latter material will elongate and shorten the time electrified and subsequently cause a vibration in the glass. Well, that's what produces the sound vibrations and could only be heard from inside. When mempresentasinya, A2 Acoustics already thinking about the technology to produce them in bulk.

At the same time, Colin Novak, a researcher from Auto21, Canada also has presented the subwoofer behind this glass. Some Novak same concept with Urban Emborg, using piezoelectric tube. But in the bottom of the glass, Novak uses a very sensitive spring.

It is said, this glass subwoofer no longer requires a large luggage space. Characteristics of this subwoofer, audio brother increasingly tight in the interior, is also a great increase its ability to inhibit noise from outside. Great!.

Google Message Hope 100,000 Euro

PARIS - The authority that regulates the protection of personal data in France dropped the penalty to the Google of 100,000 euros, or about USD 1.25 billion. This is because Google is considered disturbing the privacy of citizens during the recording scene with Street View of his vehicle.

"That is the biggest fine ever since we impose sanctions in the form of cash since 2004," said CNIL, Yann Padova, as reported by Le Parisien on Monday (3/21/2011).

Fines are imposed because Google is considered not in good faith. indeed, citizens personal data has been removed from the recording panoramic images collected by Google. However, it is evident that Google is also collecting data points hotspots private property without their knowledge.

CNIL rate of data collection is not permitted under the rules of law in France. Because, with the data Google can get a very large economic benefits.

Services began to run Google's Street View since 2007 for displaying three-dimensional scene on a digital map online certain places. However, the data recording process sometimes invited controversy. Not only in photographs, but also acts Google records information from the hotspot that is passed along the journey. Such actions are feared to steal sensitive data such as passwords or email.
