Little target reticles on a visor in front of your face. I'm not sure if this device would be sensing stuff all around you or just in front of you. I kind of started skimming at the end of the article so they may have addressed this already, but neat as this would be, its impossible unless they're also doing image processing. That could get cumbersome, checking for movement, perhaps pattern matching algorithms to see weapons, then associating these with a danger signal. Not quite sure how they'd do it.
I think their goal is to reduce the amount of reaction:action time gap I still don't buy that this would be much of an improvement. If something registers as dangerous enough to us that our brain is already sending danger signals, I don't see how a machine could process that and inform us in enough time for us to process the binoc's message to be faster than us simply processing what we already know. We've had umpteen years of evolution to work on seeing snakes. We're fairly good at it.
I'll buy that there may be a few situations where someone may be inattentive or distracted enough that this could be the difference, but is it really worth spending all that money on it for a few cases? We could instead spend it on training and armor, not to mention all the non-military places megabucks could be spent.
So if I understand it right from the article, our brain is constantly sending out danger signals that we ignore. This technology will then sense those danger signals and beep or flash red or something? So now we have another danger signal that needs to follow all the same routing. Does this cause a feedback loop? If there is something dangerous enough that our brain can recognize it would we not maybe notice it before the machine reading our brain? It sounds like we have a lot of these danger signals. Is every piece of trash blowing by in our peripheral vision going to set this thing off?

As I recall from the article I read on box jellyfish several years ago (in Reader's Digest, salt to taste) vinegar is actually very effective at neutralizing the sting of box jellyfish if poured over the sting site.

And D3 would be any better than WoW? Different I suppose, but still a grind/collection game with less to go and do than WoW.
How many passengers per car? Having seen the way the crowd Japanese trains the answer to that is quite a lot. At least the don't have to worry about securing all that mass for freefall. They can't move anyway.
I was under the impression based on a posting by an apiculturist in the discussion on the cellphone article that foulbrood was one that did something along the lines of rotting the larvae. There was no mention of that in any of the articles on CCD that I've read. They only talk about workers not returning to the hive and dying, and the bees that depend on the workers dying as a result. Seems to me like this is a different fungus.
Not at all. He can certainly argue his case and represent himself. You don't have to be a lawyer to do that. However, there is that quote that goes something along the lines of "The man who represents himself has a fool for an attorney." Granted, anyone who has JT as an attorney also falls into that category.
amendment to an action Thompson filed on March 13th against the Florida bar. Last I heard from JT's publicity was that he was still a member in good standing of the Florida bar. Maybe they should just let him win and then vote for him to pay all the fees....
Not to mention there is a difference between "Hey, that cloud over there looks kinda like a butterfly if I squint and turn it sideways!" and
"Hey! That enormous section of the north pole of an entire planet looks remarkably like a regular hexagon!"
One is basically a rorschach (sp) test. The other is a nifty example of geometry cropping up in nature on a gigantic scale, and for an extended period of time. I don't know how long its been there, but according to the article it has been stable for at least 26 years. In addition, understanding how it works would help them understand more about what goes on underneath Saturn's surface.
VIII was pretty fun. I liked the story, or what I saw of it. I never got too far past the second disc. I gamed the hell outta the card game system so by the time I did my second mission for Seed I had tornado and quake junctioned to hp and str, and a near 100% chance to insta kill most enemies I hit via death/status junction. Trivialized much of the combat for a good long part of the game.
And your're right, I remember back in the day it looked so good, but playing on an emulator, the characters just really look like movable paper dolls.
I liked VII, but not enough to beat it. Got to the second disc a couple times and said screw it. I've seen it played almost all the way through and have no desire to play it again. X and XII were good, and in my opinion, VI was the best of the lot.
I know I could look this up and possibly prevent myself from looking like an idiot, but I feel lazy so I'm just going to work on my own fuzzy recollections. I believe that was a Heinlein (or otherwise famous slightly olderschool sci-fi author) short story about the guy who studied trends and found that all of the cyclic trends were converging at one point and predicted the end of the world by a year or two?
Assuming neither console has any drop in sales in about 23 months the Wii will have sold as many consoles as the 360.
Wii monthly sales are about 1.083 mil. 360 are about.66. so setting 1.083M =.66M + 10 gives us an M of approximately 23. I had to find some online graphing calculator to find the intersects. High school was so long ago.
The botnets usually have to communicate to some central location and doing so involves using a specific port. Shut down that port and it can't get instructions/download the rest of the things it needs etc.
There's probably other reasons, as well as more correct ways to say what I think is going. I'm not a security guy.
Also from Wikipedia
Godwin's Law does not apply to discussions directly addressing genocide, propaganda or other mainstays of the Nazi regime Do you suppose any of they've done to this guy, or to anyone else they consider "subversive" or "destabilizing" might fit under "mainstays of the Nazi regime"?

heh, reminds me of a recent PA concerning staying true to source material.
Actually from what I understood the level existed months before the VT shooting.

If you get the Energy Star rated ones they will be replaced if they burn out within 2 years if I recall from the Energy Star fact sheet.

Dell would release PCs running XP without all the other crap it might be worth buying one. Maybe...

Why would they pirate their own games? They'd just be stealing from themselves... Wait a minute! That's brilliant! The perfect victimless crime!
The dangling participle is but one of the many tools in their ninja arsenal used for confusing the enemy.
