I found a post today while browsing Gizmodo which showed off a new innovation in railgun technology. We can already launch objects at Mach 5-6 (5 to 6 times the speed of sound), but now we can shoot them further.
The old projectile for the railgun was a slug in every sense of the word. It was basically a brick of solid metal, and while it moved fast, it didn't have any aerodynamics. At those speeds, anything will fly, but have you ever tried to throw a kite into the wind?
The new rounds look more like a metal replica of a missile than anything, and we can shoot them through steel plates like they are paper.

Thursday, April 7, 2011 Notepad. On super steroids!
It's called Notepad++. It's a free, open source notepad clone. I shouldn't say clone though. Notepad++ is far, far more than notepad.
Notepad++ is one of my favorite pieces of open source software. It supports syntax highlighting, find and replace, side by side editing, and tabbed open files. My favorite feature is the custom syntax highlighting. When I was in my class for assembly language, I made highlighting for MIPS.
Especially if you don't have Microsoft Word, Notepad++ is great to check out. Here's the website where you can download it: Notepad++
