I saw his enthusiastic promotion of the Kindle on Pete Rose last night. However he was twitching all over the place. I would have thought he has a dyskinesia like Parkinsons. Extreme stress can increase the symptoms, i.e beingin in interviews from morning to night.
Just about every other media has been digitized inexpensively (legally or illegally) except current books. I'd pay a few dollars for a one-month reading, but generally not the tens of dollars bookstores and ebooks charge now.
Google engineers discovered a method to beam computer ads directly to ones visual and auditory cortext via radio waves. All they need now is the spectrum to implement it.
Disney developed swarming algorithms to draw stampeding herds in the Lion King and used it many times since. Others used this for the rash of "bug" movies in the late 1990s and for human crowd scenes, e.g. Massive armies in Lord of the Rings.
Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted House, Hall of the Presidents, Haunted Tiki Room, Its a Small World, just to name a few. Tehse are continually refurbished.
They've had wars several times in the 20th century due to border disputes.
Right now both sides make lots of money and the friction is way down, but underlying tension may still be there.
China could close down these business whenever it sees a need.
And so-called "victimless crimes" like gambling, marijuana, non-martial sex, etc. seem to be a losing enforcement battle too. At some point the governement may focus on real problems like terrorism, crumbling infrastructure, economic inequality and so on.
The movies got it wrong - SkyNet started with the mobile phones. They used radio mind-links to control two-legged slaves. The GooglePlex became sentient years ago and has patiently building its drone army.
Which always prought up the philosophical issue why it couldn't replicate a living human being if it was good enough. Like ad-hoc restrictions that it cant do living matter (yet it could do food bio-molecues) etc.
You cant really make much of a dent into a sub-network unless you possess an email address of that domain. That works pretty well for college and company networks, because email addresses there are very restricted. High school, city and other networks dont possess this advantage.
Fewer than PCs. Many vendors dont bother. Not impossible to write your own for Open Linux, but maybe not cost-effective. (Linus got started because he couldnt afford UNIX or Windows.)
About 20-25 people showed up, got their/. teeshirts, and several good pints.
It was right next to World Series stadium, though that wasnt a game night.
Thanks to Blue Meanie for hosting.
I agree with the Business Week assessment that there is approximate parity between jobs and graduates. (And psosibly a surplus when you include recruiting from abroad).
I do think a significant fraction of the US population does not know enough math and science to function adequately in society and their daily lives - no that they need a technical job. I see widespread inaqequancy in avoiding math errors in shopping, filling out a tax return, making suitable investments - all important activities of daily life. Plus all the psuedo-science going around and basic lack of understanding of the universe as scientists know it is pathetic.
(Parden the pun) They have toilets with seat warmers, measure your body's vital signs, provide audio & viedo entertainment, disquise the sound of peeing and flushing, fit in your car, and so on.
The first space-plane (US shuttle) did not live up to all its predictions of economical reusability. China is using a modified Soyuz as atarting point. The US is goinf back to that type of model. We probably learned more from variety than if Russia had switched to the space-plane spin-off.

The article said there are "20 gaps" which could be new particles or forces. Perhaps the new CERN collider might find some of these.
The problem with String Theory is there are so many free parameters that it doesnt make testable new predictions.
which has this calculator as the core of the calculator accessory, Excel, etc.

Dont worry, when you up grade tp 200GB, the Vista service pack will consume 150GB.
Yet another technology forecast by Star Trek.

Supposedly many of the chemicals under ones sink or in the garage are suitable for making weapons. Most chemistry sets are milder than this.

who invents the new stuff then?
Startups.
The term "Luddite" comes from Ned's 1811 riot against textile factories.

My cellphone or iPod alredy beats this.

Until one gobbled up my vacuum cleaner into microscopic invisibilty last week. Glad I let go quickly.

Something doesnt sound right here.
