This is the Bloodhound SSC. When finished, it will be powered by a jet engine bolted to a rocket. Together they will produce 47,500 pounds of thrust. And the retired Royal Air Force pilot who plans to strap himself into it hopes to hit 1,000 mph.
The team behind the, er, car hasn’t tested it. In fact, they’ve only started building it. But they’re sure it’ll work. Well, pretty sure.

Adding smell to your computing experience? No thanks.
It’s called Smell-O-Vision, and it’s a virtual reality computer program — which Brown built herself — that uses scents to make the virtual reality experience more realistic.
Regardless of the large number of female gamers online, they are not achieving respect from their male counterparts. Many female players opt for masculine names to mask their sexual identity to avoid stereotyping.
Despite the number of women working in the games industry increasing, many argue that higher representation in gaming – both as players and creators – has done little to change portrayal of women within games.

Every solver of the Cube uses an algorithm, which is a sequence of steps for solving the Cube. One algorithm might use a sequence of moves to solve the top face, then another sequence of moves to position the middle edges, and so on. There are many different algorithms, varying in complexity and number of moves required, but those that can be memorized by a mortal typically require more than forty moves.
One may suppose God would use a much more efficient algorithm, one that always uses the shortest sequence of moves; this is known as God’s Algorithm. The number of moves this algorithm would take in the worst case is called God’s Number. At long last, God’s Number has been shown to be 20.
