I know micron isn't an official SI unit, but it sure as heck is better than "millionth of a meter". Otherwise just use micrometer and let context dictate whether it is a measuring device or unit of measurement.
Have you watched the Olympic athletes who have competed in Dancing with the Stars? When it comes to taking direction and altering their physical performance in a short period of time, they're absolutely awe-inspiring. If you're an Olympic athlete, you better be able to quickly make major changes based on either computerized or human coaching instructions. It's like watching a professional actor rapidly portray a half dozen different personae.
Except I wish deleting things from Google was that easy. Google has a nasty habit of archiving anything that has ever touched their servers for an indefinite period of time.
The brain is a fantastic example of a molecular-scale parallel processing machine. The minimum computational unit of the brain isn't really the neuron. Inside a neuron, summing and temprospatial averaging also occur in a local and global (global to the neuron) sense. Comparing a transistor to a neuron is like comparing an apple to the ISS. Sure, they both have a skin that keeps all the goodies inside, but that's about the limit of the similarity.
In a Monte Carlo algorithm, more processing power is equivalent to simulating more possible outcomes. Assuming you have a good scoring model for evaluating the relative strengths of the outcomes, more power is more "skill".
On the other hand, the OBDII scanner will only scan the engine. What if your temp mixing flap in your HVAC system has worn a spot through its servo potentiometer and is getting intermittently lost? What if you want to program new immobilizer keys into your dash computer? Or what if you want to adjust the shift timing patterns in your automatic transmission? These operations, and many more, are only within the realm of an OEM-emulating interface.
Even better -- modern cars can often tell you what is wrong. A manufacturer-proprietary-compatible scan tool is worth it's weight in gold (not a generic OBDII one, but a full-on scan tool).
The solution? Give your children very common names. My wife is almost impossible to find online because her name is so common. When she was in high school, there were four or so other people with the same first and last name. One of them even had the same middle initial.
Cell phones generally transmit at 300 mW in normal cases, and can boost to 3 W (3000 mW) in bad reception cases.
Not true for modern digital handheld phones. Do you realize the battery you'd need to run a 3W RF transmitter for any useful length of time? It sure as heck isn't one of those tiny lithium-polymer jobs.
Also, just consider the extent to which users manage to bypass the anti-cheating systems in WoW. And that's just a game instead of a real-world degree. (Though one could argue that getting a degree is just a 4-year long game, too. Heh.)
The answer is the won't make it work and you likely won't be able to take classes. I RTFA, and the existing products presented in the article require both Windows and broadband. So tough cookies for *nix and OS X users...
The cameras still won't prevent determined cheaters. The solution is probably oral final exams at some point in the college career.

Or, even more importantly, nobody considers blaming the vendor who sold the faulty system to the city.

I read that as "And does that mean that assembly programs are evil?". I guess it works both ways.

I don't think you understand the complexity of the game if you're making statements like that.
Right. Brain fart. I'm agreeing with you in a round-about argumentative fashion. Cheers.

I see the confusion. I only RTFA the first link (which features a dime). The second link, features a quarter.
If this is a joke, than *WOOSH* to me. Otherwise I direct your attention to:
Quarter: 24.26 mm diameter, 1.75 mm thick
Dime: 17.91 mm diameter, 1.35 mm thick.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_(United_States_coin)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dime_(United_States_coin)
Anyway, you can even read the text on the dime in the photo. It clearly says "dime" in addition to olive branch and torch motif of a dime.
The coin in the photo is actually a dime, not a quarter as is indicated in the text.
At least the Gazebo is safe!

That occurrence will only make Phishing these answers out of consumers easier.

A sarcasm detector, that's a real useful invention.
Mmmm, plea bargain.
Oh, and don't even get me started on requirements that belong in cartoons and comic books, not the real world of engineering.
You make me want examples. Something to brighten up my week.
ROFLMAO. You do know that it is mod xor discuss, right?
