Late last year, scientists with the OPERA collaboration in Gran Sasso, Italy reported an incredible finding: neutrinos that appeared to be moving faster than the speed of light. The news spread at a barely slower pace, fascinating the public. One thing everyone knows is that a very famous physicist named Albert Einstein once said that nothing should travel faster than light speed. In February, the OPERA researchers found a couple small problems with their experimental set-up, calling into question the original faster-than-light neutrino result. The event highlighted the difficulty of science at the edge of the unknown -- and neutrinos are especially tricky.

Run Away From The CEH Certification
People really should look at the credibility of the people behind an organization before being taken in by them. The man behind EC-Council is a Malaysian businessman with a background in sales and marketing. According to his own description, he is ‘a leading entrepreneur, consultant, columnist and speaker for many local and international companies’. Despite having no apparent background in IT security, Sanjay Bavisi has bluffed his way into an area he knows next to nothing about. Let's go back to the beginning. On his current website, Sanjay writes:

“Fire up your laptop”!?!?!? I’ve lost count of how many times I have heard this expression and remain baffled by how end-users have become accustomed to and accept the fact that it can take minutes, many minutes in some cases, before a user begins to productively start work. This is nuts! I can’t even begin to fathom how much productivity time is lost or abandoned altogether simply due to how long it takes a system to “fire up.” I get that I may want to warm up my car on a cold morning, but the majority of times I like to get in it, buckle up, turn the key, and go.
