  1. Deep! on Suspended Animation Tests Successful · · Score: 1

    Of course 10e9 Pa is the equivalent of being about 616 miles underwater.

    That's going to take a very long time to get back to normal atmospheric pressure without causing decompression sickness (the bends!). And the cold is just going to slow the offgassing as the pressure drops.

  2. Re:Call Intercept for cell phones? on Telemarketers and Cell Phones? · · Score: 1

    I have this.

    It works well, except for the few small telemarketers that do put their number out via Caller ID.

    The only drawback is that it blocks anonymous callers. The telemarketers that don't provide their numbers all come accross the Caller ID as unavailble. But several of my friends have anonymous numbers so they get the intercept message.

    I did some research on this before getting it, and the telemarketing industry websites were strongly against the idea of them being reqired to supply valid Caller ID information. Their stated reason is that it would cost too much, personally I doubt that since the phone company puts it on all residential lines anyway (and it is available to some commercial and government users even if you have it "blocked".

  3. Link to find out if your battery is recalled... on Dell Notebooks Catch On Fire! · · Score: 1

    Not that this is too hard to find at Dell's Support Site... http://support.dell.com/I5000Battery/

  4. Re:Well, what do you want to do? on Computer Science vs. Computer Engineering? · · Score: 1

    As mentioned above, your interests would have a big influence on what you wish to do.

    If you are interested in a specific field, it could make sense to get a degree that leads to that field and back it up with a CS double major or minor.

    For example if you are interested in doing communications systems work, an ECE degree concentrating in communicaitons theory with a CS double major/minor would be an excellent combination.

  5. Re:Open-source blocking software? on FCC Seeks Comment on Internet Filtering Rules · · Score: 1

    Of course this is the role that librarians already play when they select what books, periodicicals and multimedia they add to the librarys collection.

  6. Neither Can Fuzzy Logic System on Neural Networks In The Home? · · Score: 1

    But fuzzy logic systems can are easier to set up if you know what you want them to do for at least some cases.
