It's common knowledge that psychedelics enhance sensitivity to light, among other things. The pupils dilate wider than the Missippi. All those references to people "shining", I think, were literal as much as metaphorical. The acid-eaters knew this 50 years ago.
Freedom of speech at it's finest.
Idiots taking advantage of a Nobel Peace Prize announcement to knock Clinton and Bush.
Not sure I see the connection, but such is Slashdot's finest.
Rackable Systems has their version as well - http://rackable.com/products/icecube.aspx?nid=datacenter_5 - and I think the idea was in the works long before Sun, although Sun has a lot more public spotlight than Rackable Systems, so everyone assumes it was their idea.
It seems to me that the problem is not having to
go to the next line, creating a less-than-desirable
flow...
the problem
is that while
you read "the problem" above,
you sort of see "is that while" right below it
just because you're not looking directly at it
doesn't mean you're not picking it up semi-consciously
The REAL solution is very simple...
someone write a browser-add on that will allow you to effectively
cover up lines above/below the one you're reading.
this, obviously, would hinder the ability to read/skim block paragraphs
like the way you read the newspaper
but it would greatly improve your ability to read longer lines
such as those in an essay, where quality goes above quantity
and more information is stuffed into less words, requiring a slower
and more conscious-demanding reading style.
They're setting a fine example over there in Washington. Delete e-mails during investigations, wait until the Senate recesses to hire some questionable Swift Boat Veterans schmuck, refuse to allow under-oath interrogations, etc.
So, you speed up your download by grabbing identical chunks from "different" files.
But, who/what decides which "different" end-piece is going to get downloaded?
Are there serious implications to this? Let's say I reverse engineer an installer program and recompile it to install a trojan when SETUP.EXE is run. You go to P2P and there are two peers offering SETUP.EXE: my client and another client with the non-trojan version. How does the end-client then decide, from the two chunks that are different, which one to grab?
I've heard that hemp would be a better crop as it works well as a corn-rotation crop for the soil and has more fuel potential than corn as well? Can anyone verify?
What about education? I'd say education standards have been on the rise for a very long time, at least in my home state (New York). "No Child Left Behind" fiasco aside, I think education would be the #2 factor for an increase in productivity, although it trails far behind technology IMO.
In audio especially. I am not here to prove they exist, because I am anti-alarmist by nature. But don't be so naive to think that marketers, especially in the music business, rely strictly on ethical black-and-white methods of advertising. The subconscious is far more powerful than the conscious, and is much more accessible via audio techniques than any other media. Don't be afraid, but be aware.
You forget that wind is extremely variable, ocean waves are pretty consistent. Over the long term wind can produce more predictable results, but in the short term, you won't have days where these things sit idle and are not useful like windmills.

An easy rebuttal: ladies (Cosmo girls really), you spend hours in front of a mirror every morning. Let's not talk about who is spending "too much time" doing anything.
Have you seen those "Restless Leg Syndrome" commercials?
How bout you !@#$ing use your legs, maybe, I don't know, take a hike?
Then your legs wouldn't be restless.
Patient: I'M CURED, DOC!
Doctor: Wonderful. So the 3 prescription medications I put you on helped, eh?
Patient: No, I took a hike! But those pills, man, they're wonderfully addictive. Hey can I get refill?
They should be incorporating online safety into technology courses in schools, not making game-show parodies to teach kids about the dangers of the Internet. The fact that they make it a game says a lot about how serious they are about tackling this issue properly...
Haven't you guys ever flown on an airplane before? Or even a concert? They scan the barcode on the ticket. If you tried to rescan the same barcode, it would tell you the ticket has already been admitted. They would then flag security and handle it however. There would be no two people trying to sit in the same seat.
At the very least, if this exploit were a real threat, it would have to somehow avoid that, which seems impossible to me.
BUT GOD HELP US if the mp3 is the replacement.
FLAC (or any other lossless format) is the way to go and everyone knows it.
But...
a) ISPs (who seem to be buddy-buddy with the RIAA and similar orgs) would favor mp3s over flac for obvious reasons
b) Music providers also would favor mp3s over flac for the same reasons

I wonder if this means I can legally defend my assault against my coworker the next time he passes gas next to my cubicle?

If we ended the war in Iraq today, we could have the money for this by July.
SHOCKING!

Who's going to pay for this? What is the real cost/risk/benefit analysis?
And as long as the media chooses to ignore that fact, it doesn't sit on most Americans' consciences the way it ought to.

That's nothing. They've already learned how to get into houses... White houses seem especially vulnerable.
What's BayTSP's address? I want to send them some roses. ;)

Although, I've never tried to use it.
Arrest me, and I'll try to post bail with it :D

I also need a new processor, more ram, better graphics card, and a leather chair... for productivity of course!
