When I saw "2001" a year before the moon landing it was generally thought most of that stuff was possible save for the aliens and a super-smart computer. But little of it was realized. Sniffle, sniffle.
UK beat USA in this race by having the identifications of 25 million of its residents stolen last month.
Its only a matter of time for a US agency. I suspect the US is semi-protected by backward computer systems. Like who can read a nine-track tape anymore?
PBS Wired did a piece of wrestling robots in Japan (GeekDad segment). These robots have arms and legs, stand, summersault, rise from falls. Its amazing what they do now.
Beginning med students and residents frequently thought they MIGHT have the diseases they were hearing about in class or seeing in the clinic. You become aware of all those little nerve endings and bumps in your belly you never really thought about before if it wasnt painful. Its part of a doctors education to learn what is normal and what is anomalous.
Its the same as early WWW days. Eventually "authoritative" sites will emerge with links to utabe-like sites as video-servers. Anyone who searches the video server directly, without review, is askign for trouble.
I work for a large software company with much international business. In order to get an export license our code- source and libraries- undergoes an audit to make sure there isnt any deep encryption or other prohibited stuff. The audit is like the anti-plagarism searches used at schools. It turns up lots of other things like GPL and open source.
Some our customers demand zer third party code. This utter fantasy in modern programming, especially when enough of this leaks into the commercial compiler libraries. But maximal documentation and sudit trails is something we can offer.
The test looks for 20K known markers. It doesnt decode all 3G bases. However, at this point in time markers are more useful than knowing the bases.
This company is also hoping to build a database of hundreds of thousands of humans to refine what these markers really mean. I believe you select among various privacy levels in your DNA. Teh drawback of being too private about about your DNA is you dont get future feedback from new discoveries.
A lot of the global warming has been blamed on US SUVs and developing world purchase of autos. But the growth of high end electronics may have a significant effect too. large TVs are often the second largest appliance in the home after the refigerator. Some sources attribute most or much of the growth in electric power (50% is coal-burning in US) to computers, data centers, and large TVs.
Meteors hitting Mars knock off Mars rocks.
About three dozen have been found in Antartica.
Imagine the thousands if not millions that have not been found over the eons.
Life probably arose on Mars first, because its smaller and geological stablized sooner. Many meteors from Mars have been found on Earth. Bacteria can live for a long time deep insted rocks. Rock is a great insulator and its interor would not get too hot during Earth atmospheric entry.

Each new cut seems follow each new video technology, capturing more and more the orignal film capability. Disney's been playing this game for decades.
To busy giving the Nobel prize speech, and getting $800K.
Irresistible racist joke here. Please forgive me.

Thats how long you have to put orders in advance for disposables like the fuel tanks.
After Columbia. And two years after Challenger.

Fidelity is a common word in financial institution names.

I see more and more conference talks copied to utube, or video adendums to published scientific papers.

Scientologists used to buy and resell massive quantities of Ron Hubbard's books to move him into the best-seller lists.
Due to the messy waste water byproducts. I recal this was in the 1990s.

Prometheus has been made at mankind for five thousand years for copying his alphabet over and over quadrillions of times.

But catching up!
Very difficult to buy airplane tix or rent car w/o one.
I supposed thats OK if you stay in Moms basement.
Always seemed too gawky to me.
