I see this is based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). As we continue to work on new ways to develop accurate MEMS - and incorporate them into things we need - we'll see if these live up to their promise. A while ago I was at a mass spectrometry conference where a researcher was talking about his work with MEMS for mass spec; which could turn the whole industry and field on it's head . While reducing the (physical) size of the detection part of a mass spectrometer is great, it offers another advantage as well - a MEMS could measure mass directly (all mass spectrometers on the market today measure mass-to-charge ratio instead).
If anything mentioned on slashdot recently has brought us closer to a real, working, tricorder, it is a MEMS based mass spectrometer.
If it only costs four cents to manufacture, your doctor's office will bill $42.65 for it.
Sure, they will do that because they know that insurance companies will take that bill and then only pay $.03 for it. They then need one uninsured person to agree to that increased price to make up for the money they lost to the insurance companies.
1. Check for any BTs (E-meter, theta perceptics, intention, pressure areas, telepathy is HOW) on and in:
1. Body surface (WHERE) 2. Body inside 3. In thetan's space (Approx. 40' X 60') 4. On thetan
2. Run Incident 2, then Incident 1, until BT(s) have gone and are released. Then, check for additional Incidents 1's and 2's until dry (on the meter).
3. Return to Step 2, to find new ones to run. Use ruds while running if necessary. There is an effort to stop and hurry on Incident 1.
4. When complete, exact date and run both of the incidents on self.
5. If a bog, do Millazo Pack. Write down some 'mutual associations'. Re each one on this list, FIND THE INCIDENT THAT MADE THEM ONE, and run that. Then, run OT III, Incident 2 and 1 after that cluster is broken up. Occasionally, BTs will have an incident that made them one other then Incident 2, thus this action.
INCIDENT 2: Dates approx. 75 million years ago, earth years, location, Earth, named TEEGEEACK at that time (meaning planet of sorrow), involved 33 planets of this sector, each with populations of 80 - 200 BILLION PER PLANET. XENU, the ruler, and 'Renegades' decided to solve overpopulation as follows, but was halted and XENU placed in a mountain trap after over 5 years of war.
Incident 2 Patter: DETERMINE IF A LOYAL OFFICER, RESIDENT OF EARTH, or FROM ANOTHER PLANET. If the latter two, start at their being picked up and shot and if from another planet, frozen in an ice cube, transported (flying saucer), taken to mountain, a volcano always, H BOMB EXPLOSION, TERRIFIC WINDS, EFFORT TO ORIENT, MAGNETIC STRIP UP FROM CENTER OF VOLCANO OR DOWN FROM AN AIRPLANE, EFFORT TO GET OFF AND FIND REST OF SELF, PROTEST, BEING PULLED ON STRIP, VISUAL DISPLAY OF INSTRUCTION BY A 'GO TO THE PILOT', WHO SAYS 'HE'S MOCKING IT UP'. There are 26 - 29 days of implanting (the CC and OT II, God and Devil material, reasons for this being done, helicopters, etc.) that need not be run. SOME WERE PACKAGED INTO CLUSTERS in the HAWAII and LOS PALMAS ISLANDS (8 to a cluster). If a loyal officer, the sequence is SURPRISE at being shot, placed at the volcano. Use meter to determine and determine volcano. Watch for earlier beginning (pulled in for a tax audit), run only up to the 'HE'S MOCKING IT UP' as BTs can go into 'free fall', spin and get sick from the 29 days implanting, with pneumonia and death the implanted phenomena of free fall in addition to insomnia. Coltus, the Reigning planet, Hubbard a part of the 'rescuing force that put an end to it'. Don't force or push them off, and answer the BTs questions. There were probably not any good or bad guys in this incident, although Hubbard insists the sector to have been a cultural desert since. Very SP BTs can usually be brought around with adept 2WC, Charm, Ruds, but if not use Power Processing on the rare hard core.
Incident 1: Dates 4 QUADRILLION YEARS AGO (which is 15 zeros or 4,000 trillion years ago).
Incident 1 Patter: LOUD SNAP, WAVES OF LIGHT, HORSES DRAWING CHARIOT RIGHT TO LEFT, CHERUB COMES OUT, BLOWS HORN, COMES CLOSE, SHATTERING SERIES OF SNAPS, CHERUB FADES, RETREATS, BLACK MASS IS DUMPED ON THE THETAN.

The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 95,000,000 years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass implanting. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos (Incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas and there "packaged".
His name was Xenu. He used renegades. Various misleading data by means of circuits etc. was placed in the implants.
When through with his crime loyal officers (to the people) captured him after six years of battle and put him in an electronic mountain trap where he still is. "They" are gone. The place (Confederation) has since been a desert. The length and brutality of it all was such that this Confederation never recovered. The implant is calculated to kill (by pneumonia etc) anyone who attempts to solve it. This liability has been dispensed with by my tech development.
One can freewheel through the implant and die unless it is approached as precisely outlined. The "freewheel" (auto-running on and on) lasts too long, denies sleep etc and one dies. So be careful to do only Incidents I and II as given and not plow around and fail to complete one thetan at a time.
In December 1967 I knew someone had to take the plunge. I did and emerged very knocked out, but alive. Probably the only one ever to do so in 75,000,000 years. I have all the data now, but only that given here is needful.
One's body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself or to the body.
One has to clean them off by running incident II and Incident I. It is a long job, requiring care, patience and good auditing. You are running beings. They respond like any preclear. Some large, some small.
Thetans believed they were one. This is the primary error. Good luck.

Incident II is over 36 days long. Capture on other planets was weeks or months before the implant. Those on Teegeeack (Earth) were just blown up except for Loyal officers who were (shortly before the explosion on Earth) rounded up.
H-BOMB DROPPED ON VOLCANO

(1) capture (being shot),
(2) freezing,
(3) transport to Teegeeack (sometimes via a relay point),
(4) being placed near a volcano,
(5) beginning implant up to "the pilot",
(6) various picture sequences,
(7) the 7s and C.C. and OT II materials,
(8) 36 days of picture implants which give a vast array of materials and three explanations for the bombing,
(9) transport to Hawaii or Las Palmas for packaging up into clusters.
The pictures contain God, the Devil, angels, space opera, theaters, helicopters, a constant spinning, a spinning dancer, trains and various scenes very like modern England. You name it, it's in this implant we call in its entirely "R6".
What did the human race do before there was baby food (and what does most of the world STILL do)? They nursed the children!
Perhaps you aren't aware of how many children have problems attaching, and how many mothers have problems lactating? If you send a crew into space, and one woman gets pregnant, and then delivers and cannot feed the baby, you don't have an alternate plan without formula. Generally, the only way to know if a woman can lactate (and breastfeed a baby) successfully is for her to deliver and start nursing (or trying to do so). I think you would probably have a few people opposed to that kind of trial-and-error parenting in the name of a "civilized" nation.
Hence in order for a child to have a good chance of surviving past infancy (if born in space) we would have to send along formula or breast milk; which would you rather pay to transport millions of miles? On the plus side the vacuum of space does make for pretty decent food storage facilities - however you still have to get the food there...
Once the kids are weaned, they shouldn't need dedicated "child food" either -- just normal food in small bites and possibly softened or otherwise processed.
That isn't necessarily true, either. Childhood nutritional needs are not the same as adult nutritional needs - you can't just throw your burrito in the blender and hope for the best.
Really, having - and raising - children in space would require a whole additional set of resources above and beyond what we would carry for a regular mission. Diapers, (infant / child) food, (infant / child) clothing, etc; all that are items that adults in space would not have a use for. On top of that are all the requirements for human development as we recognize it today - education. stimulation, physical activity, etc. As it is we pay a high cost to lift each pound of whatever into space, do we really want to pay to send a rocket full of pampers to Mars as well?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of space colonization; but I just don't think we are anywhere near close enough to making this routine that we should be talking about creating children in space.
There are plenty of non-glitch speed runs. They're just A LOT LONGER and usually (but not always) not as fun to watch.
That is a matter of opinion. Some of us prefer to see the game done without exploiting bugs and glitches, to see what is possible within the intended possibilities of the game.
Really, anyone who hasn't worked retail for at least some time in their lives doesn't have any understanding of what really happens when you are in that position. I know this item is more about the empowered management and their bone-headed decisions (nowhere is the dilbert principle of management applied as much as in retail), but we should keep in mind the poor retail slaves who end up on the chopping block because of this kind of shit.
In a partial shout-out to my comrades - both past and present - in arms in retail, I will point you to retail hell underground, where those of you who were so privileged as to never have to take a retail position can get a glimpse of what some of us have had to whether.
Did you watch the video? He runs through solid walls more than once, and climbs out of a bottomless pit like some kind of ninja. Those are bugs for sure.
I don't know who pissed in your wheaties, but it may be worthwhile to note that indeed typing "where" when you mean "were" is not that uncommon, and does not say anything about the intelligence of the person at the keyboard.
Worry not. After the latest "upgrade" here traffic at slashdot is down enough that we couldn't take your server down even mid-day during the week when geeks are avoiding work. On the weekend when former slashdot readers are reading other websites hoping for relevant news, you have nothing to worry about.
That run exploits bugs from SMB that I didn't even know where there. I counted at least 4 times that he ran through walls in one way or another; to say nothing of the way that he would jump on the edge of a pipe while the flower was out and not take a hit.
We won't end up implementing high speed rail in this country any time soon
Well, we certainly won't if we don't fund it. If we do fund it, we will implement it quite soon. Its pretty much that simple.
That does, in part, also depend on how one defines "implement" and for that matter "high speed rail". If you consider a 200 mph train from San Francisco to Sacramento to be a good implementation, then great. We could possibly do that before most people reading this today are dead. On the other hand if you want to see 250+ mph trains going cross country linking the most important cities from the interior of the US to the coastal cities, nobody should count on that happening any time remotely soon.
However, even if the project was funded, it would inevitably end up quickly de-funded as well. Considering President Lawnchair will sign just about anything that crosses his desk, the next bill up in the house and senate could fund it, and the bill after will have the poison bill that kills it - both of which he will sign.
So in other words it is more than just funding something. You now need to fund something, and then maintain the funding to that same thing.
Soon enough the (intentionally) uninformed conservatives will be running around screaming that Obama wants to start a state-run phone service that will provide everyone with 4G cell coverage for free and instantly put all the wireless companies in this country out of business.
That may be the only thing on the list that I don't disagree with cutting. We won't end up implementing high speed rail in this country any time soon, and in another hundred years after our country falls apart, rebuilds, and then realizes the value of high speed rail, we can just as well borrow the plans of a better organized and managed country. And maybe if we're really on the ball then, we'll borrow their health care system, too.
Dire Straits had more number one hits than Metallica and Green Day combined, and they never had to abandon their core sound (and core audience) to do so. Most people have heard several Dire Straits songs - and probably know a good portion of the chorus to them - and don't even know they are from Dire Straits.
When they started doing Guitar Hero (this band) and Rock Band (that other band), I had hopes that they would pick up some of the talented bands that I really wanted - in particular Dire Straits. Instead we got Green Day and Metallica. If they had done an all Dire Straits release I would have been the first in line at the store to buy it; I want to use a plastic toy instrument to emulate real musicians, not lame sell-outs.
One of the things we like to hate air travel about is that we can't use our cell phones on a plane. If we were on a train travelling at 250mph, would a cell phone be able to switch towers quickly enough to be useful for a conversation?
I rather suspect that the catholic church is not fond of open source methodologies, so your patch probably will prove difficult (regardless of how badly needed).
And based on the way we have both been moderated so far, I would also suspect that someone who favors the church is running around with moderator points today!
I just bought a Thinkpad from Lenovo and it had almost no crapware (with the exception of Windows itself, and the stupid time-bombing version of MS Office that I will never use). You do realize that just because HP and Dell are the two biggest players in the market does not mean they are the only ones, right?
Hmm, now what OTHER profession combines entertainment, fashion, and sport, and seeks a very public venue in which the product you're selling is a person of dubious character? Hint: it's been around at least as long as politics.
more common for celebrities in the fields of entertainment, fashion or sports
She is clearly in entertainment - how many TV shows are about her right now?
She is also in fashion - we all heard about her massive wardrobe budget when she was campaigning with McCain.
And her entertainment is sport - at least to her. She tells us about her heroic helicopter hunting trips, and her husbands awesome snowmobile races. Those definitely count as sport where she is.
