No way this is even mildly accurate. It was all-but a breakthrough to do this with exposed brains and ECOG. The Moran lab at Washington University gets 2-3 degrees of freedom from that.
No way they're getting more than 2 even after *long* training periods from EEG without using exotic (and accordingly expensive) components.
Krikey! This one looks well preserved! Nameless graduate student, carefully and tediously remove the volcanic ash from this "ard rive." Yes professor!
(months later)
Finally, after 6 long years of restoration and figuring out what the *metal* conductors on the back were for, we can plug the "ard rive" into our nanocomputer and get a glimpse into the life of humans from 2006!!!!
This is strange, all I can find is a massive and bloated operating system called "Windows" that keeps crashing and a huge folder labeled "pr0n." I wonder what's in it...ZOMG! Now we know why they were all killed in 2007 during WW3. Silly pacifist hippies sat around whacking it and didn't by guns!
I'm sure to get the Bush Peace Prize for this one.
1. Couldn't you save a lot of money on anti-trust suits by just following standards? (Including W3C and CSS)
It really looks like it's in your best interest to at least provide.NET developpers with something like Google's cute browser-quirk avoiding JAVA -> HTML + JavaScript compiler so that they don't miss out on FireFox and Opera (mobile phone) users.
2. Why not fork over a C# -> HTML + JavaScript compiler that provides similar quirk-avoiding code?
I'm forced to disagree. It's *possible* that given an intelligent blend of ingredients, they could mess up "normal" metabolic regulation. If they're intelligently using concentrated plant extracts, depending on their extraction process they could be including anything from metabolic decouplers to physiologically active compounds that bind and (in)activate surface receptors on fat cells.
Their claim is suspect, but I have no doubt that if Coke really wanted to create a "dietary supplement" that included physiologically active compounds that messed with metabolic efficiency, they could do it.
Besides...you're an opthamology guy...not a nutritionist?
Product keys can be blocked for a number of reasons, including if the product key is abused, stolen, pirated or seized as a result of anti-piracy enforcement efforts.
We found a copy of Bittorrent on your machine, you PIRATE! You must be abusing the privilege of using our operating system: license revoked.
Given highly advanced biomolecular engineering, you probably could engineer in a desire for money. That said, money is an *extremely* recent concept in the grand scheme of things. I think you'd have a much better chance finding genes that ***correlate*** with greed, loose morals, sex-addiction, power-addiction, etc.
Overall, I think you'd find that such things are mostly environmental and luck-based. I mean, most people who *want* to get rich aren't. And genes only predispose you to things. Almost all genes require at least some environmental factors.
Scientists can lie just like anybody else. The key lies in the level of punishment that results from lying:
When a politician lies, they get elected. And *maybe* impeached later on. (Bill Clinton)
When a corporation lies, they lose a tiny fraction of the income generated by the lie. (Enron, Big Tobacco, Microsoft)
When a scientist lies, they get about a year or two before they're caught. At which point they lose all standing among fellow scientists, get barred from all reputable journals, and often lose their university/institute jobs.
Summarized: when a scientist gets caught in a lie, their life is over. When a corporation is caught in a lie, they lose a small part of their illegitimate gains. Who has more incentive to lie?
The laws don't really seem to matter (vis a vis: Gitmo). It's more about whether or not congressmen searching for 16 year old "escorts" on AOL might be discovered by their political opposition.

But 9,000 of those words are slang for parts of the human anatomy. Go figure.

Yes it is. I may want Jill to be able to track me, but not Suzy. But if Johny is looking through Jill's phone and gives my number to Suzy...

They don't want you seeing the code for reasons like this:
//Mac OS isn't more stable, HAH!
class EvilEmpire{
void Report_Surfing_Habits()
void RandomCrash()
void StealInformation()
void CorruptData()
void ThrowChair()
void CedeControlToGatesNet()
}
