Seems McLaren have got themselves a bit of a coo on there hands as it has been announced that they have signed Alonso for 2007!

This may add weight to the rumors that Kimi is going to move to Ferrari (it has been denied, but hey stranger things have happened).

That also add’s weight to the rumor that Flavio wants Mark Webber in the Renault team else why else would he have let Alonso go (he is Alonso’s manager!), unless Alonso just did not want to stay at Renault? Faure (head of Renault F1) say’s he is dissapointed in Alonso’s desision.

Looks like 2007 could be a doozy!

In other F1 news, Gustav Brunner is leaving Toyota with the probability of heading over to Team Torro Rosso (Red Bull), he was brought in from Minardi originally so he will possibly be ‘going home’.

It seems as well that the Super Aguri team will make it onto the grid for the Bahrain GP at the start of the 2006 championship.  It is still believed that they will run re-vamped Arrows 2002 chassis with the Honda powerplant behind them. There are rumors afoot though that the team will try and introduce an in house developed chassis (read ‘Honda’ chassis here) for the European section of the season, I wonder if they will have much in common with the BAR 05 car? Only time will tell.

Some news from the motorsport world, It seems that Mitsubishi will be pulling out of WRC until 2008 when they will return (they are still taking part in the dakar rally). Also Michelin are pulling out of F1 from the end of 2006, this is because the FIA have said that a single tyre manufacturer will be chosen for 2008 onwards. Vodafone has also announced that they will be sponsoring the McLaren team from 2007 onwards, bad news for Ferrari who have been sposored by the phone company for years!

A great little free tool to increase the security for Microsoft RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) has been released.

It allows you to filter access to the login prompt on things like IP, MAC, Name and the sorts.

It’s a great tool, so download it and see what it can do for you.

Audi are going for Le Mans glory again, but not with the R8, no with the new R10.

The R10 has another suprise up it’s sleeve, It’s a diesel! yup an oil burner.

The car has over 650Bhp and over 1000Ft/Lb of torque. Should go a bit

Solve 2x^2+7x=5
Encarta® Instant Answers says:
Equation Solver:
Let’s solve the quadratic equation:
2x^2+7x = 5
First we need to put the equation in the form:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
For this, we set the equation to equal 0, and arrange the terms from the highest exponent to the lowest:
2x^2+7x-5 = 0
We have:
a=2 b=7 c=-5
We can now apply the quadratic formula:
x = ( -b ± ?(b²-4ac) ) / 2a
We find two solutions:
x=0.60849528301415 or x=-4.1084952830142

How good is that!
