I don't know why Geordi LaForge has to have his vision system under GPL. Let the guy see with out all the red tape! You're giving him a headache with all of this paperwork!
The voice signal is digitally encoded on all major networks since AMPS became obsolete. There's no difference from a theoretical standpoint between sending digitally encoded voice packets (using your compression scheme of choice) and sending characters over the same datalink.
There's a reason that the South Park episode [toolazytolookitup.com] about hybrids causing 'smug' (instead of smog, clever guys) in South Park had people driving cars called 'Pious' (instead of Prius).

Folks who are seriously considering cloud seeding on a global scale to fight what has been a 1-degree C temperature change are quite batty, IMHO. Around $5bn to fight a phantom enemy? Since 1999 global temperatures have been DECREASING.
Interestingly enough, the Isaiah Scroll from the DSS contains almost all of Isaiah 53. Its consistency with the Masoretic Text (Medieval time period) is amazing, so much so that people have cried "foul"-- there must be some fraud or conspiracy in place to have documents 1000 years apart match that well. No proof of any such hanky panky has ever been produced.
I wasn't suggesting that he include them in the time capsule. Just that the thing can run off of AAs. It's fair to assume that AA-size batteries will still be around in 25 years, whether they're disposable or rechargeable.
Actually, it is historical, normal usage to put the period (or comma) inside the quotes, even if the period wasn't in the original quotation. This was originally done for typesetting reasons: putting a period outside the quotes caused type blocks to break. The period inside the quote was better mechanically--less breakage.
I had a circular (1" diameter) section of my scalp removed last year and replaced with a skin graft from my hip. The hair will never grow back there. Right now, it's a glaring circular spot on my crown, not like a guy who's thinning. It's pretty weird-looking.
We had a friend take family photos a couple of months ago, and I shopped over my spot where it was visible. I personally like this ability from a retouching aspect. I've also fixed many a zit, freckle, scar, etc., for my wedding photo clients. I even had a bride who has different color eyes who wanted them to be the same color.
Yeah, it's not real, but for portraiture, the lighting and a lot of the other techniques (e.g., long lenses for short depth-of-field and compression, which can make big noses look smaller) transcend even Ps. Photography, a lot of times, isn't about 'real'. It's about using light to make a statement, and darkroom (optical or digital) techniques are just part of that process.
I have some cloth-backed abrasive material from Micro-Surface that is used for high-gloss wood finishes and polishing acrylic and high-impact plastics (like aircraft windows). They come in grits from about 600 to about 12000 (yes, 12k). The highest grits feel almost like chamois.
At any rate, you should be able to manually polish discs with these abrasives, starting at whatever grit gets rid of the deepest scratches, then successively moving to finer grits (mmmm, I love grits) until you get a decently polished surface. Even the SkipDoctor (which has worked well for me from time to time) doesn't give a mirror finish. You don't really need that for decent CD player operation.
Don't forget-- the company Pen Island decided to use their name (without dashes) as their URL. Capitalization being rare in URLs, it didn't work so well.
I just can't wait until I'm able to read a book or play the harmonica or the guitar while (in Soviet Russia,) the car drives me. I currently play the harmonica while driving, and sometimes, if I'm really into it, I'll steer with my knee (two hands on the harp--better sound, and vibrato, etc.). Don't tell nobody. I just hope I don't ever get a photo radar picture while playing the harp with two hands.
Conservative Christians who talk about Biblical Inerrancy do NOT deny that the copies have changed over time. Inerrancy is the contention that the originals were without error, and that because of the ~5000 ancient copies and fragments of the Bible that are still extant, we can readily construct a picture of the originals with about 98.6% certainty. The remaining 1.4% does not contain any passage which is of major doctrinal importance to Christianity.
You should really know that there is NO effort to suppress the variant readings. The NIV, NASB, ESV, and many other modern translations readily put variant readings in the footnotes and bracket sections of John 8 and Mark 16 (as mentioned earlier) which have shaky textual support. The facts are presented for anyone to peruse. The textual apparatus available in the Greek (Nestle-Aland, USB 4th, etc.) and Hebrew give even more variants. They're all there for you to see.
You really should read the variant readings to see how much "evolution" has really occurred over 2000 years. The Bible is the most well-attested ancient document. Period. Homer's works are 2nd with 625 ancient copies, and the earliest extant copy far removed in time from the original. The Chester Beatty Papyri are dated 125 AD. It has been said that Christianity is "embarrassed by riches" when it comes to textual support for the Bible.
The Trinity was never outlined explicitly in the Bible, but it certainly is contained in the Bible. The Bible as a whole is not coherent apart from a Trinitarian framework.
I learned C in a 400-level computer graphics class in college. I knew that I wanted to learn C and that I wanted to learn more about graphics.
Have the kid pursue a goal that he's interested in and find a tool to solve the problem/reach the goal. It could be in Excel and VB (for learning purposes! Geesh). It could be Python scripting for Corel's Paint Shop Pro. There are all kinds of tools for all kinds of tasks.
It could also be programming a STAMP or a PIC microcontroller kit from an electronics hobby shop. Or MindStorm. Have the programming be a TOOL for solving a cool problem.

Wait--is there a medical use for asbestos, too?

LCD picture frame. $200. Can be charged with AC power. AA batteries would be even better.

And the freakin' article states that he may have violated zoning laws and the following statement is made by a member of law enforcement:
"There are regulations about how much [chemistry stuff] you're supposed to have, how it's detained, how it's disposed of."

Injection molded, but with no flash (no Web 2.0 pun intended). This is super-high quality material and a super-high quality process.
