What is the F/A-22 Raptor?

The F/A-22 is the world's first stealth air-to-air fighter, designed to be unseen at long range and deadly in close-in air combat. It can also strike ground targets with precision accuracy. Its design gives pilots unmatched maneuverability in the air.
The F/A-22 was originally designed to replace the F-15 Eagle. Because of the Eagle's versatility, the rising cost of developing the F/A-22 and the changing world scene, the Raptor now supplements the F-15 instead of replacing it. When the F/A-22 program began in the early 1980s, the Air Force wanted a fighter to counter the threat from the Soviet Union. Since the end of the Cold War, the need for an air-superiority fighter has fallen: Pentagon war planners expect future conflicts to be fought against enemies with small air forces or none at all.


F/A-22 Specifications

Primary Function: Fighter, air-dominance
Wingspan: 44 feet 6 inches (13.5 meters)
Length: 62 feet 1 inch (18.9 meters)
Height: 16 feet 5 inches (5 meters)
Powerplant: Two Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 engines capable of supercruise and thrust vectoring
Speed: Mach 1.8 (supercruise: Mach 1.5)

Q-of the month.

How do viruses and worms spread in e-mail?


There are all sorts of things you can find in your e-mail box. In the "destructive" and/or "annoying" category go e-mail attachments that contain:
Trojan horses
Worms
Viruses In many cases, e-mail viruses are not "true" viruses because they cannot replicate without human interaction. Nonetheless, they have been very effective at shutting down major e-mail systems. See How Computer Viruses Work for details on viruses.
A Trojan horse, aptly named after the seemingly harmless tool of destruction in Homer's Iliad, secretly carries often-damaging software in a "plain wrapper." The plain wrapper is normally an e-mail file attachment from someone you may or may not know. The file attachment name itself can also be very misleading. When you run the attachment, it can do all sorts of things, from erasing files to changing your desktop. It then sends itself along to other people in your address book so that it can propagate itself.
Here are two examples to help you understand how e-mail viruses work. According to this page from Symantec:
Worm.ExploreZip is a worm that contains a malicious payload. The worm utilizes Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Exchange to mail itself out by replying to unread messages in your Inbox. The worm will also search the mapped drives and networked machines for Windows installations and copy itself to the Windows directory of the remote machine and modify the WIN.INI accordingly.
The payload of the worm will destroy any file with the extension .h, .c, .cpp, asm, .doc, .ppt, or .xls on your hard drives, any mapped drives, and any network machines that are accessible each time it is executed. This continues to occur until the worm is removed.
You may receive the worm as an attachment called zipped_files.exe, masquerading itself as the usual self-extracting zip file. But, when run, this executable will copy itself to your Windows System directory with the filename Explore.exe or to your Windows directory with the filename _setup.exe. The worm modifies your WIN.INI or registry such that the file Explore.exe is executed each time you start Windows. See also this page for details.
Symantec offers more technical information and explains what you need to do if you suspect Worm.ExploreZip is in your system.
In certain special cases, e-mail attachments can execute even without your interaction. According to this Symantec Web page:
VBS.BubbleBoy is a worm that works under Windows 98 and Windows 2000. The worm will also work under Windows 95 only if the Windows Scripting Host is installed. The worm will only work with the English and Spanish versions of the operating systems, and not with Windows NT.
Microsoft Outlook (or Express) with Internet Explorer 5 must be used in order for the worm to propagate.
The worm utilizes a known security hole in Microsoft Outlook/IE5 to insert a script file, UPDATE.HTA, when the e-mail is viewed. It is not necessary to detach and run an attachment.
UPDATE.HTA is placed in Program-StartUp of the Start menu. Therefore, the infection routine is not executed until the next time you start your computer. UPDATE.HTA is a script file that uses MS Outlook to send the worm e-mail message to everyone in the MS Outlook address book. By patching the known security hole in Microsoft Outlook/IE5, the worm will no longer propagate.
Microsoft has more information on this worm.
Keep your virus software up-to-date with the latest virus signatures from the software vendor, since the anti-virus software cannot detect new viruses without an update. If you use Norton AntiVirus software, ensure that Auto-Protect is enabled. Current Norton AntiVirus software automatically alerts you when your virus signature files are over 30 days old. Norton's LiveUpdate can also automate updating.
If you think a virus has infected your PC thanks to an e-mail virus that mails itself to people in your address book, call those people and tell them not to open the messages or attachments -- that is the only effective way to stop the spread.

Most expensive Micra meant for Barbie

A British car dealer has what it believes will become the most expensive Nissan Micra ever sold. Yes, even more expensive than the Conran designer version we told you about earlier this year. The Micra C + C (coupe and cabriolet) in question is one of 275 special edition pink Micras made to support Breakthrough Breast Cancer, a breast cancer charity. Although the normal asking price on this diminutive cab is only £14,750 (that's about 28 grand, US), the ace in the hole for this particular C + C is the license plate. Newreg.com is hoping that some Barbie lover will also want this personalized number plate as part of the deal. And apparently, the 'BAR81E' plate is worth more than the car! If the Micra is sold with the number plate, it might bring as much as £36,250! That's almost $70,000, folks. A lot of cash for the car, but its limited edition nature and the unique plate will surely attract a buyer. And with at least £250 pledged to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the buyer will be able to feel good about themselves too.Seems like a golden, erm, pink opportunity for some Barbie wannabe. Full release after the jump.

Mercedes-Benz honors the SLK with "Edition 10" model

The Mercedes-Benz SLK has reached double digits in age, having first been introduced for sale some 10 years ago. Mercedes marked the occasion at the recently held Paris Motor Show with the "Edition 10" show car, which it has now decided to put on sale beginning in January. The "Edition 10" SLK is mostly comprised of aesthetic tweaks, which include a new matte grey metallic paint job caled "allanite grey Mango" that will be offered on only 350 cars. This special color is an option along with obsidian black metallic and iridium silver metallic, while the base color for the car will be black, which is the new black we hear. Other exerior mods include new "Edition 10" light-alloy wheels painted in dark-gray with a high-gloss "chrome shadow" and dark-tinted rear lights. These additions make the "Edition 10" the most expensive looking SLK we've ever come across. Black leather has also been liberally applied to this special edition SLK's interior, with contrasting silver elements dotted about. The "Edition 10" package is available on the SLK 200 Kompressor (supercharged), SLK 280 and SLK 350 with prices ranging from €37,734 to €47,671, though it doesn't sound like the car will be offered in the U.S. Though the SLK is a high-priced coupe-cabriolet that would seem to have limited appeal to the mainstream, that fact hasn't stopped Mercedes from selling 465,000 over the last decade, which is an average of 46,500 per year. More high-resolution images and the complete press release can be found after the jump.
