Disc that could store 2000 DVDs

You might have read my earlier blog post about GE offering an optical disc that could store 500 GB data. Researchers at a University in Melbourne, Australia have come up with a “five dimensional” disc capable of storing 2000 times more data than a conventional DVD.
The discs, which are the same size as a conventional DVD, use nanostructures to add an additional two dimensions to existing disc’s three dimensional structure.
The extra two dimensions, created using nanostructures, are a spectral, or colour dimension, and a polarisation dimension. The researchers concede that recording times for the discs still needs to be addressed, however they are optimistic that commercial versions will become available in the next decade. To this end they have signed a commercial agreement with Korean company Samsung.

Oracle SQL Developer – Backspace, CTRL, Delete keys not working

I use SQL Developers for my development work. All of a sudden, the Backspace key, CTRL key, Delete key and other function keys stopped working in the SQL worksheet. I don’t remember doing anything out of ordinary, but those keys stopped working. I then Googled and found a solution. All you have to do is click on Tools menu – select Preferences, click on Accelerators on the left side, click on Load Preset button on the right, select Default (screenshot below), click OK and click OK again to close the preference window. All keys should work fine now.
