Amateur UK inventor builds flying ironman suit

An amateur inventor in the UK has built an Iron Man-like jet engine-powered exoskeleton suit that enables him to hover in the air like a superhero. The futuristic ensemble consists of three sets of miniature jet engines attached to the arms and the back. Richard Browning, a 38-year-old oil trader, had been secretly experimenting in his garage for 18 months, before he figured out the optimal number and position of the jet engines that allows him to fly with a minimal amount of equipment
“The human body is very good at being trained to do specific things, and it’s a useful structure, and the human mind is a pretty amazing machine,” Browning said.”So, we had this idea – rather than go and rely on aluminium structures to build the machine, rely on gyros and computers in order to achieve stability, why not rely on the human machine, keep it as raw and original as possible?” he said.
Piloting the device takes quite a lot of personal strength and body coordination, said Browning. There is no steering mechanism, and speed and direction can be adjusted only by changing the direction of the engines’ thrust, solely using upper-body strength.
You have a trigger at your right hand, which controls the arm engines, and you have a trigger at your left hand, which controls the rear engines,” Browning told the ‘Live Science’. The inventor added that he was inspired to create the suit by the Greek myth of Daedalus, who made himself wings to escape from captivity. The suit takes its name from the myth.
Currently, Browning can stay in the air for up to 10 minutes using the exosuit. He has kept his experiments at a running speed of about eight kilometres per hour and an altitude of only one to two metres above the ground. Eventually a user could fly over 100 kilometres per hour and to an altitude of about 100 metres, Browning said.

What is ARP Monitor?

ARP MONITOR It’s FREE  tool like arpwatch but for Windows OS. This tool can help with ARP activity monitoring in computer networks.   It allows you to catch intruders on the network, track MAC-IP bundles, detect scans, monitor real-time ARP protocol activity in the segment, and much more. This windows software monitors ethernet activity like unix apwatch and keeps a database of ethernet/ip address pairings. new activity - This ethernet/ip address pair has been used for the first time. new station - The ethernet address has not been seen before. flip flop - The ethernet address has changed from the most recently seen address to the second most recently seen address. changed ethernet address - The host switched to a new ethernet address.  Download :   Mirror: http://www.binaryplant.com/binaryplant-arp-monitor.exe

Microsoft showing of its new xbox one dashboard

Microsoft revealed last week that it’s planning to  rebuild the Xbox One dashboard  with a focus on speed. While the software giant revealed common tasks will be faster, Mike Ybarra, head of platform engineering for Xbox, has now teased exactly what the new dashboard will look like. Microsoft is adding a new Xbox button part of the guide that slides into view, with the ability to quickly switch between recent apps or games without having to navigate back to the home of the dashboard. This subtle change could speed up the Xbox One dashboard significantly. One of the big issues of the current guide is heading back to home and watching the entire system slow down and lag, or refresh randomly. The new guide is accessible with a single button press, and it appears the old home concept will be replaced entirely with this quicker method. That should make the Xbox One guide a lot more like the Xbox 360 version, and just easier to use in general.  Windows Central  has ...
