"The idea of drinking pigeon milk may bring a shudder to every sane and rational person in the world[...]"
Or maybe it's just the insane and irrational people in the world who shudder when thinking of drinking pigeon milk. What does that quotation imply about its author?
When viewed images can be reconstructed reliably, memories and dreams can probably be reconstructed using similar techniques even if they are processed in different areas of the brain. It's a shame (for the researchers) or a benefit (for people who want private memories and dreams) that recall memories and dreams can be so unreliable.
Imagine this interaction between two students, back from a holiday or vacation:
"It's great to be back here with you! I remember going by that shop with the blue ice cream cone every day last semester! The color was as blue as your fingernails and the cone had a yellow border!"
"Oh really? This photograph shows a different color entirely. Now that we're back on campus and almost to that shop, you can verify your memory. Look away from me for a moment and you'll see."
"Hey! This cone isn't blue! I remember its color as an intense blue! And where's the border!? It's obvious that this paint hasn't been changed in years, and there's my little 'me+you' inscription on the brick, which is definitely NOT the blue color I remember!"
True. When I first looked at it, I thought, "This is pretty nifty." Come to think of it, maybe I still think that......but upon further examination of the two images in the summary, I think the only direct correlation I can see between the images is the very general color of the bird and that the parrot's tail is on the correct side of its body in the "result" picture. Maybe if I were to RTFA, it would explain that the image had to be flipped to correspond or something.
It's not the Atari you're looking for. Unless you're referring to the word "atari" in the game Go or related Japanese meanings.
The original Atari was split into Atari Games (arcades) and Atari Corporation (computers/consoles) in the early 80s. Atari Corp. folded after the failure of the Jaguar in the mid 1990s and UBIsoft (Infogrames?) bought the rights to the name and changed the logo to the one with the larger bottom ends. Atari Games was making arcade games until at least 10 years ago.
Argh. So many details left unsaid or said incorrectly... I canna remember! Just look HERE for all the nitty-gritty.
Yes. A game on a disc saves space on your hard disk (unless it installs completely to the HD from the disc) and uses a lot less bandwidth when downloading. Sometimes a download, for certain people with slow connections, is unfeasible. It's hard to believe for some of us, but easier for others of us (re: connection speed issues).
It probably still depends on the temperature, percentage of yeast contained inside, and how many waves of "Rising machines" humanity has already "punched down".
Come on... if you're a Utahn, you're probably more accustomed to green Jell-O, whether it's the brand name or generic-brand "flavored gelatin"...
Which holds more data? Green Jell-O or Green Jell-O with embedded shredded carrots? Uh oh... maybe the CCarrot user's worry is justified after all.
re: UK vs. US confection naming conventions:
As far as I've ever known (I'm American), I've used "jelly" to refer to
the translucent, smooth-textured fruit-based substance often combined
with peanut butter. "Jam" is like jelly, except that it contains more
than just fruit juice--it has the solid parts from the fruits also, which
includes seeds if you're referring to strawberry jam (or grape, perhaps,
if it's made with non-seedless grapes). Cherry/peach/apple/etc.
won't include the pit/seeds because that wouldn't be nice to the teeth
of the human eating it.
The above paragraph is entirely my opinion; parts of the United States that are not similar to most of the western states might think of jelly and jam in different ways. Oh, and naval jelly and royal jelly are entirely different, as are navel "jelly", sebum, and ear wax. So, probably, is Vegemite, although I've heard of places around here where you can buy it. I won't even start talking about haggis. Or the time zones of Antarctica.
Yeah, you'd better stop there. Since I tend to go on and on about things, though, I'll continue: Finally, a legitimate argument for why bigger is better! No, seriously, folks. . . Did you hear the one about the woman with back pain? She had an odd number of libraries of congress on one side and an even number of libraries of congress on the other! And talk about the data compression! Some women with no back pain at all had ten times that many Calgary Corpuses in theirs!
Exactly what I was about to say. If the storyline had been more compelling, it would have been as consumer-confusing and awe-inducing as last year's movie Inception.
Alas, it was not to be. However, eXistenZ was about the biological technology; Inception wasn't.
eXistenZ was probably creepier if you enjoy seafood, so possibly CCarrots don't need to worry as much.
Ha ha! You spotted it!...and who knows? a cylindrical trash can is easier to keep upright than one with a smaller bottom and larger top. My guess is that this was quickly assembled for this experiment, but about what it's being used for now (if anything) I have no idea.
It looks a lot like some office trash cans I've seen, but closer inspection reveals what looks like a rudimentarily-constructed "protective wire mesh container" made of a rectangular piece of wire mesh rolled into a cylinder, held together at the open base by a strip of bent aluminum (or other shiny metal) placed inside the cylinder then folded around the jagged ends of the wire mesh and (at the top, which would be the bottom of the trash can) a slightly-larger-diameter circular mesh-piece with its ends bent up so it fits inside the cylinder is held in place by another strip of bent metal, the metal placed inside the cylinder on top of the circular mesh and bent around the outside, holding the top of the cylinder in a circular shape and preventing the protective top, circular layer of mesh from sliding down.
Coincidentally, the law makes it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant. So yeah, probable cause == brown skin, even though the law explicitly disallows racial profiling.
No probable cause for identifying illegal immigrants can be determined by skin color because legal immigrants fit that profile also.
WOW, a real live woman with forty-seven hands! I wonder if each hand had five fingers? That would be 235 fingers, each with a nail that might need to be clipped periodically.
Or.... maybe it was 24 people, one of them with only one hand. Captain Hook, of course.... always unlucky, arrrr....
and element 115 could just be named Hook-115, or maybe just Fred. That'd be easy for certain peoples.
[Something] a BA in English MIGHT be able to convince people of is that you're able to string sentences together.
...and more importantly, that you, the English grad, are able to cohesively and concisely compose documents that are easy to read (for the target audience), convey meaning appropriately and in the order intended, and that your strung-together sentences comprise a greater whole than the haphazardly-strung-together sentences of someone without your knowledge and experience.
[...]I still see a _lot_ of people getting degrees in things with absolutely no plan for how to turn it into a job when they graduate.
aha... thinking, "This is a fun major to pursue, but I don't know what I'll do with it. I have an idea or two in the back of my head and I think I might have what it takes to start a huge sensation. Maybe, just maybe, x or y will occur and life will be grand! I'll figure out the details later..." That's one reason some people find gambling so addictive.

The fact that it's high in fat shouldn't be a problem: just produce a "skim" version of it.
Which leads to P-butter "birdie butter", P-cream, P-cheese, .... think of the marketing potential!
I am not a Vegan or a Vegetarian, and I do enjoy drinking milk.
Does that mean you are a Venusian? I knew you'd be visiting soon, most kind and venerated ones.
hehe :)

The summary strongly implies that they had to calibrate it for each of the three study participants.
Collectively or separately? :)

Not if the numerator is larger than the denominator. :)

LeVar Burton also directed a lot of episodes of Voyager and Enterprise and other things neither of us have mentioned.
