I think Woz is right. Engineers have built the mechanical accelerators for almost a century. Everyone here knows how bugs can creep into computerized systems.
A 440-volt, 60-amp charger can refill the batteries in an hour. I read something last year about a restaurant chain looking into providing chargers for customers. On a cross-country trip you could recharge while eating.
Although they try to match size, then relative age, sometimes out of expediency a recipient must accept a donor a decade, two, or even three decades older than themselves. Would these organs age at the donor's rate or recipient's rate? I'm guessing the answer is "in between". Depending on the tissue, the donor cells may be slowly replaced by host stem cells over the decades and become more host-like. Heart and muscle has a slow turnover rate of one percent a year. So hearts are never fully converted. Some of the earliest organs recipients have lived 3 or 4 decades.
Its rather traditional for them announce an "imminent" clone whenever a competitor announces a major product. Of course, no one listens anymore.
More seriously, the rumor mill about the two-screen Courier looks interesting. That device would seem to be portable than an iPad.
A long time ago MS got into the pen-computing bubble, an industry which went nowhere.
Trademarks conflicts are nothing new to Apple Inc. They and the Beatle music company Apple Corp fought over the Apple name and business model since 1978. Apple Computer was supposed to stick to computers and Apple Corp to music, but the lines were blurred several times.
Americans break their treaties with Indians again and moving their reservations into space? Greedy oil and mineral companies want all land. Oops, wrong Indians!
Its the online paper I read the most due to the wealth of primary material. It sounds like I'll get my opportunity in 2011 when it goes paywall. They will allow 10 free clicks a month, then start charging. I'm only willing to pay $5 a month, but I fear they will charge much more.
Most of us here know what it was like grow up as a "brain" in school: those kids were considered social outsiders. I think that discouraged people from staying in S&T. Plus the financial incentives were in business and law.
Chinese (and other Asian) families think science and engineering is a very desirable career for their sons and push them in that direction. Their last three presidents have been engineers. I have live there and found it refreshing to be in that kind of culture.
The TWO (only two) genomes analyzed were from the subpopulation which left Africa. If you fully sequence a native south African more genomic variety, this hypothesis may not hold up.
Our company standardized on Red Hat because it was out there in year 2000. We dont change OS'es lightly because it costs several hundred thousand dollars to test and release under a new OS, even if everything compiles right away. All the customers have to switch to the new version software and hardware platform too. Plus we a legally obliged to back support 3-5 years per standard contract in our industry (energy). Adding and subtracting a platform are major decisions then. At any given time we support approximately three platforms.
There a several of major problems with nano-black holes constructed from a few atoms:
(1) First is lifetime would be shorter than time it would take to interact with anything else.
(2) Its event horizon would be so small as to keep from interacting with most matter before it evaporated.
(3) Particles dont interact gravitationally in practice. Other atomic forces are 38 or more magnitudes larger.
I wouldnt be surprised if existing colliders and cosmic rays routinely make black holes. We just dont see these very tiny ones.
I always thought that was so silly and hopelessly dated those movies. Perhaps they looked "modern" for about five years at the time of the movies.
The original Star Trek TV show was smarter: either the computer conversed in voice or displayed output on the bridge screen. This anticipated the computer of three centuries hence.
We all know examples where we sent an email or posted a comment quickly and had regrets later. I encourage any person in a position of influence- minister, politician, teacher, etc. - either have a second pair of eyes review what they have just written, or sit on the post 12-24 hours before pressing the send key. Haste, emotion of the moment, fatigue can all lead to poor replies.
I recall some non-professionals successfully using google maps to find meteor craters.
Others have found new recent water erosion features on Mars.
Soon some of the large mapping telescopes will be releasing vast amounts of astronomical images in Google Sky.
Theres lots of opportunity for amateurs here.
The "briefcase" size is the maximum transportable computer size with the most comfortable size screen, keyboard; largest battery, memories, peripherals.
The booksize computer is the smallest screen that gives you decent megapixel. So much software and webpages runs out-of-the-box for the megapixel screen and not on the one-eighth siblings- the smartphones. The book size easily fits into a daypack or handbag.
It turns the center of iSlate into a heater good for making coffee or heating ramen noodles. The CPU is right under that spot. All I do it run a program that counts how much Steve Jobs is making and it heats up real quick.
Former zipcodes and telephone numbers. Pretty easy to remember 15 digits this way. Some systems wont accept all digits.
Words in obscure languages. They mean something to me, but not to standard dictionary attacks.
A problem with wristwatch and cellphone computers are their relatively tiny screens.
A projector could be as small as sugar cube, ring, or pen, yet illuminate a couple square feet of a wall or table top. Some cell phones are already coming out with projectors.
I saw some neat demos at SIGGRAPH of self-registering projectors. You only have to get them approximately head-on. Tehn they detect the descrepency and warp the projection into the perfect desired rectangle.
Until a century or two ago, books were mostly recited out loud. If in a group of people recitation may have been for entertainment. Or if alone or in a church you barely vocalized it. In that era authors designed their books to be read out loud. Their prose may have sounded more majestic or poetic than now. I fact I find it hard to read a poem silently and get it.
Besides the quiet, silent reading enables speed reading. If you volcalize, you slow down to a few hundred words a minute at best. A speed reader can reach 500, 1000 or more.
Many languages have two words for the act of reading. The older word has the connotation of reading out loud, kind of like English "recite". The newer word means silent reading.
I was thinking of the article a few weeks back of the guy who built a decent photography table for $300 to copy page images into computer. He can do a couple hundred pages an hour. He borrows the book from the library or bookstore. The parts paid for themselves by the third textbook. Other the textbook costs about a quarter a page to purchase.
The greybeards have a point there. In my branch of signal processing where have gone through cycles several times as computer hardware evolves. In my experience we've been through minicomputers, array processors, workstations, clusters, stream processors, multi-cores etc. Each configuration as different balance of CPU speed, memory size, memory bandwidth, and so on. So we've gone through the difference algorithms, the integral algorithms, the spectral, the local-transform, cyclic matrices, etc. back and forth several times. Sometimes each new generation of grad students feels it has invented something new if sloppy work by their faculty advisor doesnt correct them.

Only if scanning doesnt make the lines longer and slower.

I no longer have to watch the boring stuff that happens between the commercials then.

The successor NASA manned programs are underfunded and behind schedule. Its optimistic that NASA will be able to put people into Earth orbit by 2020.
