Dusty Disk Evidence of Planetary Collision

What astronomers had expected to be a run-of-the-mill protoplanetary disk turned out to be evidence of a much more intriguing story. While observing the sun-like star BD 20 307, a team of astronomers noticed a large disk of dust surrounding the star. Usually, this is evidence of planetary formation around younger stars. The 8 planets (and plutoids…) in our own solar system formed out of just such a disk. Disks like this aren't generally found around older stars, though, and when the age of the star was calculated to be several billion years old, the source of the dust appears to come from a rare event: it is the resulting debris of two planets slamming into each other.

Rosetta Disk Designed For 2,000 Years Archive

Hugh Pickens writes "Kevin Kelly has an interesting post about an archive designed with an estimated lifespan of 2,000 -10,000 years to serve future generations as a modern Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta disk contains analog 'human-readable' scans of scripts, text, and diagrams using nickel deposited on an etched silicon disk and includes 15,000 microetched pages of language documentation in 1,500 different languages, including versions of Genesis 1-3, a universal list of the words common for each language, and pronunciation guides. Produced by the Long Now Foundation, the plan is to replicate the disk promiscuously and distribute them around the world in nondescript locations so at least one will survive their 2,000-year lifespan. 'This is one of the most fascinating objects on earth,' says Oliver Wilke.

Whole Disk Encryption For Vista?

Q7U writes "After reading about several laptop thefts and losses, my boss wants me to set up whole disk encryption for her Vista travel laptop. After doing some research, it seems she has three options: Bitlocker (part of Vista Ultimate), PGP Whole Disk Encryption, and TrueCrypt. My main problem now is choosing one. I can't find any comparitive reviews of these products to determine which will be the best choice, so I was hoping the Slashdot crowd could suggest which product they would go with and tell us what they liked about their choice."

How To Manage Your Disk By UUID On Linux

"For instance, if you have a disk with a specific UUID and a block device name of /dev/sda3, if you do all your work (and system/application customization) with that disk, as the name /dev/sda3, you might be in for a big headache if you have a system problem (or just install some new hardware and reconfigure) and Linux decides to rename /dev/sda3 as /dev/sdb3 (or "anything" else). If you're using UUID's, you can simply use the "tune2fs" command (shown below) to assign the original UUID back to the new logical device name, so /dev/sdb3 would function exactly as if it were /dev/sda3, without causing any issues with your Linux OS :):"

Intel Atom Disk Encryption Performance

"While the ASUS Eee PC 901 doesn't have its solid-state disk drives encrypted by default, if you are storing any potentially sensitive information on this netbook -- or any mobile device for that matter -- you really should encrypt the data. When you lose a mobile device or it has been stolen, it can be a nightmare if your banking information was stored on there or even just passwords to your Internet accounts. However, what is theperformance cost for fully encrypting a hard drive on one of these Intel Atom computers? In this article we are looking at the performance impact of fully encrypting the solid-state storage versus an unencrypted LVM within Ubuntu Linux."

Encrypting Your Hard Disk is not Safe Anymore: Indian Security Startup iViZ Discovers New Vulnerability Affecting Microsoft, Intel, HP, Lenovo and Others

iViZ, an Indian information security startup offering on-demand Penetration Testing, announced its discovery of a new class of vulnerability earlier this month at Defcon 16, the world's leading security conference. This vulnerability allows attackers to steal computer boot passwords and bypass the security of pre-boot authentication software like hard disk encryption tools. It affects general computer users, enterprises, governments and can result in unauthorized access or theft of confidential data. Incidentally, in 2007 the global loss due to data theft is estimated to be USD 40 Billion.
