Several security firms and independent developers have published online tests

To help the public discover if the services are still exposed, Several security firms and independent developers have published online tests. However, there is no simple way to find out if they were vulnerable before. Organisations that used Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) web server software would not have been affected. But Codenomicon has noted that more than 66% of the net's active sites rely on the open source alternatives Apache and Nginx, which do use OpenSSL. Even so, some of these sites would have also employed a feature called "perfect forward secrecy" that would have limited the number of their communications that could have been hacked. 'No rush' A researcher at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory said it would be an overreaction to say everyone should drop what they are doing to reset all their passwords, but that those concerned should still act. Security companies have developed tests that can reveal if a service remains vulnerable to the flaw "I think there is a low to medium risk that any given password has been compromised," said Dr Steven Murdoch. "It's not the same as previous breaches where there's been confirmed password lists posted to the internet. It's not as urgent as that. "But changing your password is very easy. So it's not a bad idea but it's not something people have to rush out to do unless the service recommends you do so."

First computer made of carbon nanotubes is unveiled.

By -
The first computer built entirely with carbon nanotubes has been unveiled, opening the door to a new generation of digital devices. "Cedric" is only a basic prototype but could be developed into a machine which is smaller, faster and more efficient than today's silicon models. Nanotubes have long been touted as the heir to silicon's throne, but building a working computer has proven awkward. The breakthrough by Stanford University engineers is published in Nature. Cedric is the most complex carbon-based electronic system yet realised. So is it fast? Not at all. It might have been in 1955. Cedric's vital statistics *.1 bit processor *.Speed: 1 kHz *.178 transistors *.10-200 nanotubes per transistor *.2 billion carbon atoms *.Turing complete *.Multitasking The computer operates on just one bit of information, and can only count to 32. "In human terms, Cedric can count on his hands and sort the alphabet. But he is, in the full sense of the word, ...

Dr. Olukoya tagged the year the passover year with reference to Exodus 12 vs 21, wherein promises would be fulfilled, he also drew a nexus between the number 14 and the passover, going to the prophecies, he said. 1. This year is going to be one of great revival 2. It is going to be a year of many questions but very few answers 3. There is going to be deliverance this year from afflictions and bondages 4. A year of monumental failure for those who trust in the occult

A-Z Country Domain List Extensions

By -
Below is a full list of country code extensions from each country. These extensions include the top-level domain as well as any second and/or third level domain from each country. All country domain extensions are listed alphabetically by country. Afghanistan Domain registrations at the second-level are unrestricted, but more expensive. Third-level names have restrictions based on which second-level name they are beneath .af  - Registrations are taken directly at the second level or at the third level beneath the following domain extensions. .com.af  - Commercial entities (Trade license / Business authorization or approval from the Ministry of Commerce.) .edu.af  - Educational institutions .gov.af  - Government and agencies .net.af  - Network providers .org.af  - Non-commercial entities
