Hello there! Many of us have been using the Windows OS (considering it's many versions), for a very long time. For some regions on the planet (especially where this post was written), Windows is the stereotypical OS for a computer. However, today we're going to see something which has been known to be the OS of servers and supercomputers, and can also be used in a PC like yours, Linux! To be honest, I've been using windows for a very long time myself, and it is no doubt, a great OS. But there are many places where Windows sucks (bad)! On this post, I shall describe why I chose Linux over Windows, and how you, a Windows user, can move to Linux easily! First, let's discuss the 7 reasons why I gave up Windows:- 1. Paying for almost everything... Even the office suite! Windows is a proprietary software and is not freely available. You must have a product key (purchased) to run windows on any computer. Linux distros, on the other hand, are free to downlo...

Over the decades, we have evolved, not just as human beings, but also in terms of technology. A simple smart-phone today can do more that what the best personal computer could have done ten or fifteen years ago. And when this thought comes into our minds, we can't help but think "If such a small system can do so much, what are we actually capable of doing with supercomputers?" So let's look into some of the fastest computers on this planet today, May 2017. The Computers are ranked based on their Floating point Operations Per Second (FLOPS), or in layman terms, calculations per second. However, at this point a supercomputer is capable of certain Quadrillion calculations per second, thus we use Peta FLOPS. The speed pf these systems were calculated using the LINPACK benchmarks . 10. Trinity, Los Alamos National Laboratory The Trinity project is managed and operated by Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories under the Alliance for Com...

Hello everyone! Here's a list of combat role aircrafts which proved to be the enemy's deepest fears. But before going to the actual list, here are a few things which we consider in our list:- Service Ceiling : The maximum cruise altitude of the aircraft Speed : The maximum speed of the aircraft Maneuverability : The ability of an aircraft to dodge missiles Damage rate : Total property damage by individual aircraft Crash rate : Crashes due to system or engine failures in the aircraft  So let's get started. 1. North American P-51 Mustang This legendary aircraft had a lead role in the WW II theater. Flying about 214,000 sorties, this aircraft alone claimed 4,950 air-to-air kills. The aircraft had a service ceiling of 12,000 m or about 42,000 ft, a maximum speed of 383 knots and a heavy maneuverability dodging enemy bullets. Surprisingly for that period, only 4 incidents of flight systems have been reported resulting in crash. 2. North American F-86 Sabre The F-...

Hello followers! This time we present the 5 major events that gave us modern aviation. So let's begin 1. The Wright Flyer

Hello followers! Today we begin with the "AceyMac top 10" where we list out 10 of the best of something used today. Today we talk about aircrafts. To be precise, the aircrafts used in commercial aviation. So let's begin. 10. McDonnell Douglas DC-10 With a maximum capacity of up-to 380 passengers in a single class configuration, this airliner came into service in the early 70's and is still used as a cargo freighter. Considering, the long usage history, the number of accidents is quite less. However, as an old and outdated aircraft, the DC-10 gets 10th on our list.
