Dec 13th 2012, 18:27 From Gran Turismo to WWE Smackdown, sports-based video games represent a wide variety of pursuits. When it comes to the people who actually play those games, however, little is known. How do sports video game players fit their games into a larger sports-related context? How does their video game play inform their media usage and general sports fandom? | | X-ray laser takes aim at cosmic mystery Dec 12th 2012, 18:41 Scientists have used powerful X-rays to study and measure, in atomic detail, a key process at work in extreme plasmas like those found in stars, the rims of black holes and other massive cosmic phenomena. | | New method to understand superconductors Dec 12th 2012, 16:10 Researchers have devised a new method to understand the processes that happen when atoms cool which could lead to new materials for superconducting power grids and widespread use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). | | UK.CloudLogin.co Outage (Resolved) Dec 11th 2012, 21:23 Dear customers, We would like to inform you about an issue with the web services that we are currently experiencing, related to one of the web servers of UK.CloudLogin.co.

UDP flood attack is a denial-of-service (DoS) attack using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), a sessionless/connectionless computer networking protocol. UDP flood attack can be initiated by sending a large number of UDP packets to random ports on a remote host so that no applications can be seen on that ports. This will be shortly handled and the servers accessible again. Start time: 01:00 pm PST Update 04:50 pm PST : Our administrators have manage to take control over this situation. Currently the majority of services are operational. Although this is so there are still some separated servers or the Mail server which are still not operational. Our administrators continue working on this matter in order to resolve this case as soon as possible. Update 07:00 pm PST: Mail server and mail services are back operational. There are just several separated hosting servers left in the process of being started at the moment. Resolution should be available soon. Thank you for your time and understanding regarding this matter.

A SYN flood is a form of denial-of-service attack in which an attacker sends a succession of SYN requests to a target's system in an attempt to consume enough server resources to make the system unresponsive to legitimate traffic. This will be shortly handled and the servers accessible again. Start time: 7.20 am PST Update: This has been resolved now with total outage of 40 minutes. | | Data Center Connection Issue (Resolved) Nov 16th 2012, 05:28 Dear customers, We would like to inform you about an issue with the web services that we are currently experiencing, related to one of our webservers - US.CloudLogin.co.

Best Regards, Support Staff | | Supercomputing for a superproblem: A computational journey into pure mathematics Nov 6th 2012, 17:55 In 1900, twenty-three unsolved mathematical problems, known as Hilbert's Problems, were compiled as a definitive list by mathematician David Hilbert. A century later, the seven most important unsolved mathematical problems to date, known as the 'Millennium Problems', were listed by the Clay Mathematics Institute. Solving one of these Millennium Problems has a reward of US $1,000,000, and so far only one has been resolved, namely the famous Poincare Conjecture, which only recently was verified. Now a negative solution to one of Hilbert's problems has been found. Mathematicians are working on the more challenging of maths problems -- and the only one that appears on both lists -- Riemann's zeta function hypothesis. | | Computers 'taught' to ID regulating gene sequences Nov 5th 2012, 19:01 Researchers have succeeded in teaching computers how to identify commonalities in DNA sequences known to regulate gene activity, and to then use those commonalities to predict other regulatory regions throughout the genome. The tool is expected to help scientists better understand disease risk and cell development. | | 'Attack navigator' protects against weak spots in security Nov 5th 2012, 13:14 Everyone is familiar with the yellow 'Post-it' memos, showing login details, that are often found stuck to computer monitors. The same goes for USB sticks found in car parks. However, few grasp the real impact of such actions on an organization's business or brand. Both may eventually lead to data theft, not as a result of any technical failure, but as a result of the vagaries of human behaviour. The TREsPASS project's `attack navigator' combines technical and human aspects of security to identify weak points in organizations and their infrastructure. | | Music in our ears: The science of timbre Nov 1st 2012, 21:19 A new study offers insight into the neural underpinnings of musical timbre. Researchers have used mathematical models based on experiments in both animals and humans to accurately predict sound source recognition and perceptual timbre judgments by human listeners. | | Hurricane Sandy: Power outage prediction model was accurate Nov 1st 2012, 19:34 A team of researchers spent days tracking Hurricane Sandy's power outage potential as the storm made its deadly march up eastern seaboard. The researchers fed weather forecasts as well as real-time and historic hurricane data into a computer model to predict the total number of power outages. How'd they do? Their predictions were accurate overall, when compared with figures released by the federal government on actual outages. | | Particle and wave-like behavior of light measured simultaneously Nov 1st 2012, 18:11 What is light made of: waves or particles? This basic question has fascinated physicists since the early days of science. Quantum mechanics predicts that photons, particles of light, are both particles and waves simultaneously. Physicists now give a new demonstration of this wave-particle duality of photons, dubbed the "one real mystery of quantum mechanics" by Nobel Prize laureate Richard Feynman. | | Computational medicine enhances way doctors detect, treat disease Nov 1st 2012, 15:10 Computational medicine, a fast-growing method of using computer models and sophisticated software to figure out how disease develops -- and how to thwart it -- has begun to leap off the drawing board and land in the hands of doctors who treat patients for heart ailments, cancer and other illnesses. | |
