If you had no plan on applying genetic research, there would be no worldly reason to perform the research in the first place. Sure, Science for Science's sake is fun, but I'm sure a 1000x1000 grid Sudoku puzzle that used every known symbol would be just as consuming/fulfilling. More to the point, if you want further high-level research you need financial backing (Investors usually invest in projects that have a chance of a positive return).
"'The sensors are all off-the-shelf parts,' Adelsberger says, making the system much cheaper than other motion-capture technology. It cost about $3,000 currently, but this could come down to a few hundred dollars, he says, if the sensors are mass-produced."
Forget about buying an already built commercial system, this is a MAKER's dream. Run it on a home-built laptop for extra points.
This was a decent discussion on BoingBoing not too long ago.
"Is it true that it's 'not infringement once fair use kicks in' ?
Fair use is a defense to infringement where you admit infringement but say it was justified, isn't it? You affirm the boundaries of copyright but justify crossing them, rather than arguing that the boundaries should be moved. This is why it's argued on a case-by-case basis.
This article suggests some good reasons to move the boundaries, I think."
Not sure if that's right (IANAL), but it sure sounds like it to this lay-person.
Not trolling: try leaving a comment back next time, thanks.
I'm hoping some +5 brilliant mind can tell me if the mess-up with the data collection on the star we use as a base line effects this study's findings, and exactly how.

Why concerned, but not ecstatic?

Meh, this show really went downhill since the 3rd season.
I'm glad someone else noticed. Does anyone know if there is anything new in this post, or are we just rehashing old news?
Oh, and next time just use Google (site:SlashDot.org "YourPhraseHere"), it is a thousand times easier.

Does this mean I no longer have to worry about reading at the airports?
You may have missed the point...

If it is not registered, you can not sue for money. Therefore, it shouldn't have been included in his violation/$ total.

I came to learn, not annoy.
I'm still skeptical about astrophysics findings in general, seeing as we were wrong about the oxygen content of our own star.
Why not focus on being exact within our own solar system, before we venture farther?
I love them tubes soo much, because I Heart bees!
You have a great point. People might actually listen, if you stop ranting for a second and say your views in a clear, concise manner.
That being said, I don't believe you deserve a negative score. I was forced to stop and think for a second.
You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy...
...and place them in camps!
Didn't you get the memo? The current sickout is 2girls1cup, and it is glorious.
You would be screwing over your future employers, obviously, as well as giving that school's alumni a bad reputation.
Stock-SPAM relies on one thing only: name recognition.
It doesn't matter if the user reads the email, clicks on a link, or types in a url. Sure that helps, but...
They only need to glance at the Subject line as they're deciding to trash the message, if the stock's name is the message.
Yes.
You sir, are an artist.
To be fair, they don't have the brain power required for that level of consent.
Much better than not knowing, but faking it just enough that the higher-ups don't notice (or care) that the students have learned nothing.

Sure, the receiver is small...but how big is the pickup/amplifier?
I know, this is almost as bad as that quack who wanted us to eat moldy bread!
Like Shadow of the Colossus, for instance - which still felt like a (high quality) demo.
The only reason I still play it is for the pretty cut scenes.
