Linux by Knight Post 43 Pentagon's Zombie Satellite Program Comes to Life

From:  http://www.wired.com

The Pentagon’s intergalactic black-magic plot 

is getting ready to raise the dead.

Dead satellites, that is. Last year, Darpa, the military’s blue-sky research agency, kicked off a program designed to harvest parts from unused communications satellites still orbiting the Earth, and then turn those bits and pieces — antennas in particular — into an array that operates as a low-cost “communications farm” for troops on the ground

Linux by Knight Post 042 Twisted Light Wifi Creates Connectivity Fast Lane 2,4 Terabit Per Second

From:  http://www.forextv.com

The internet is about to get the equivalent of an express lane as a result of new wireless technology developed by American and Israeli scientists.  High-speed wireless transmission of up to 2.5 terabits per second may be possible by what is being called "twisted, vortex beams."  It is essentially a new wifi protocol that uses light beams more efficiently that what is currently in use.

Linux by Knight Post 046 Unity alternatives - the many desktops of Ubuntu

From:  http://www.h-online.com

GNOME Shell and Cinnamon

KDE, Xfce and LXDE

Ubuntu's Unity is far from the only desktop environment available for the distribution. For users who want to stay with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS but prefer another desktop environment, there are plenty of alternatives to try.

Linux by Knight Post 045 Flame's Crypto Attack May have Needed $200,000 Worth of Compute Power

A cluster of 200 PlayStation 3 consoles used in 2008 to find a cryptographic collision in the MD5 algorithm.

From:  http://arstechnica.com





The cryptographic attack that Flame engineers used to hijack Microsoft's Windows Update process was so computationally demanding, it would have required the equivalent of $200,000 worth of computing time from Amazon's EC2 Web service for most people to carry it out.
