Anyone know where the area of the supermassive black hole at the center of the milky way is supposed to be located in this photo? Anyone with a version of this pointing out various popularly known astronomical bodies in the field? Some perspective would be cool to see on this starmap.
I don't know if this is part of the design or not, I haven't heard anything yet at least... But couldn't they have a laser firing from the ground to hit the platform from the bottom, and another one from space hitting the top of the platform? Thus adding redundancy and you'll only need have the juice to power it. Not to mention since you have one side already in space, I'd imagine the satellite or whatever could harness solar power in higher efficiency. Or just rig the cable to a motor/mechanism that pulls the cable up rather than a laser to tethered platform. I'm not an engineer, so this may be stupid, but figured I'd throw it out there.
They won't do PPV though because we have HDTV's and surround sound. We also have friends and family that would all watch the same movie for the price of one ticket. They want you to go to the theatre because one person = one ticket. Frankly I like going to the theatre as long as it isn't packed and pretty much only for horror or comedies. You get the feeling of a community and you get to hear people's reactions and quips (much like a live MST3K). In serious movies though it's pretty annoying. I've had my share of chapstick dick people as well in the theatre but I just can't make microwave popcorn that tastes anything like the crack laced stuff from the theatre. Thankfully a nearby theatre has a great special ($6 for movie and small popcorn on tuesdays) which is totally worth it for me.
You don't have to rent their equipment. I bought my modem for use on their networks. They just log the mac addy and mark it in their systems as user owned. (granted one of their techs stole it and replaced it with a rental, but that's offtopic...)
Does anyone know if mplayer or vlc or any other media players will have vdpau or hardware acceleration installed by default in this version of Ubuntu? It was supposed to be in Jaunty but never was. I could compile it myself but it's a pain in the ass and I just want the system to work out of the box. I just want to double click on my 720p and 1080p mkv files and have them load and run smooth without manually adjusting 80 different settings, compiling my own player, and doing a jig while crossing my fingers and praying to our Noodley overlord to get it to work.
Could all the "junk" DNA that we supposedly don't use maybe have some sort of structural stabilization function? It wouldn't actively code for any proteins but the coding structure itself might allow it to make these shapes and/or allow the globule to move without causing knots in the structure.
Interesting that you bring up FTL travel and entangled particles. It actually just sparked a question I never thought of before. What effect would time dilation have on a pair of entangled particles that were separated? (Say, one on a spaceship going near c, and the other on earth or a stationary spaceship) Would the particle on the moving ship relay information at an increased rate or the particle on earth at a slower rate or neither or both or would they become disentangled?
You prove it by the piece of paper that tells you your health benefits was denied because of a pre-existing condition. Your records will show if you've had treatment for it or not. It's not a conspiracy/finger pointing kind of thing. Proof is easily come by.
Well I would imagine that slowing and controlling the motion of the DNA wouldn't be all that difficult. DNA has a net negative charge due to the backbone. However, how the EM fields they'd use to manipulate it would interact with the circuitry of the reader I do not know. That might be the real challenge.
This seems great and all but how bright is it? All the LED lamps I've seen are too dim to be used to replace a standard incandescent. Give me an LED lamp with an output of as many lumens as at least an 80W incandescent and we'll talk. Otherwise it's no good for anything but a reading lamp.
Mice bite. Bites get infected and transmit diseases. It makes sense evolutionarily speaking. Boys grow to be men and need to be able to not be afraid (or at least keep that fear in check) while hunting so that they can focus on the kill. Girls and women tended to be more on the gatherer side (why they can see colors better amongst other things) to pick fruit and what-not. Spiders and bugs and slithery things would be more dangerous to them than men since they'd be more likely to encounter them. Screaming when in fear alerts the tribe to danger and the higher pitch of their voices seems like it would travel better than a guttural manly tone.. Makes perfect sense to me.
But what will doing this show? I'm not a physicist, although the topic in very interesting to me. I sort of understand why it is useful in quantum computing but what effect would this have on the virus? Would it interact with other matter/organisms differently? Would it return to its normal state upon removal from the vacuum/cold or would it stay in this quantum superposition? What are the applications of this research aside from recreating Schrodinger's cat (they aren't nicknaming the virus the T-Virus are they...)?
I was half expecting to have to go on a tirade about the new look but it's actually pretty decent. Just looking at FF right now there's a lot of empty space that can be consolidated (mainly the file menu bar and the tabs bar area). The go/stop/reload consolidated into the path bar is a pretty good idea. Clears up a few buttons worth of space. And the file bar could really be hidden and opened up by right clicking the title bar icon in the upper left (where you'd normally just see 'restore, minimize, close, etc') to save even more space. As long as they kept a drop down button for bookmarks and either a button or hotkey for the home page I would definitely consider upgrading to this GUI.
Biochemists already do this with proteins and other biochemicals and I'm sure other fields have done this with other things. Is this only new and exciting because legos are being used?

Insurance companies will use it to deny health insurance outright or label any diseases that this thing finds as "pre-existing conditions".
There is already a law banning them from doing this.

I have control over my information. And that is why you wont find be on Facebook.
You won't find me on Facebook either. Because I don't use my real name, nor should anyone else.
