Controlling a device with an arm muscle is far different from "mind tapping". The brain is extremely complex, and the chances that we'll be able to decode nuron firings specific enough to identify complex commands is not likely without some type of embedded device. Plus, every brain is different which only adds to the problem. Right now we can "read" emotions via the electrical signals in the brain, but this equivalent to using the clapper to control devices. Its cool, but I highly doubt it'll get to the point where you can think "up" or "down" and a device could read it.
I think that the majority of routers like this on the market actually RUN linux. The only difference is that they don't publicize the fact, and they don't publish the kernel (maybe it could be requested?... them not publishing the kernel without request is not a violation of the GPL). They could simply not tell anyone that they use Linux, and nobody would bother them.
Bloated? As in the API? The JVM does not require that you use Java's API. As for Java being write once, run anywhere, true it is. However, it is also write once, compile anywhere to native code. That is where Java is going to succeed in the long run.
If you're compiling it to native code, you're not *USING* a VM. The goal of Java is to provide the ability to execute a program on any platform. If you can compile to the native code, then more power to them. The source code can still be available in byte-code or specific to a platform.
Java is as slow as the optimization you allow it. There _ARE_ runtime optimizers (JIT) as well as native code compilers (GCJ) that allows Java to be executed _FAST_. Fast enough to compete directly with C++. There are also extensions to allow direct access to memory, native code, etc.
I'm sick of people calling Java slow. It was slow when its strictly interpreted, but you can't say that anymore.
As for the API's, they are VERY well thought out. Some utilities are hacked, but the overall structure of data structures is well done and will only get better.
I don't think this is correct, here's why. The cost of living in a certain area can be drastically different in another. For example, working in NYC is expensive. It wastes time and money. LOTS of companies compensate the money paid for parking, commuting, etc. in cash because they know the cost of living (and working) in NYC is expensive.
This is reflected around every other aspect of compensation, not just commute.
It has _nothing_ to do with transfering actual media over networks and everything to do with initiating the media sessions. SIP doesn't care what, how, or if there is media involved. Its only purpose is to intiate tcp sessions.
I added the comment about 3G wireless to get people interested in it. I most certainly did not state that it was limited to that.
These bakeoffs are heald to test compatability between products that use the Session Initiation Protocol, which is going to be used to route calls and media for the next generation of wireless devices (PDA's, Cell phones, etc). 3G wireless promises 2Mbps transfer rates with roll outs starting as early as this summer (for the Isle of Man atleast). Rock on.
$0.34 * 1M customers == $340,000. Thats a lot of money per month an organization would need to dish out. The bill you are paying is for products/services rendered. Either way you're going to pay for the postage, whether it be via +$0.34 per bill, or whatever. I assure you, you want to affix the stamp and not them, because then they need to pay someone money to manage this, which just gets passed to you. Then they'll slip in +$0.20 per transaction to bring in just a little more cash, etc.
But what about the DNA? The DNA is still denatured from age as far as I can tell. Now I'm no biologist, but turning a skin cell into a liver cell would just make it a liver cell of the same age. It wouldn't be a liver cell at day 0. We're still reliant on taking stem cells from feticies if we want brand-spanking-new genes.
Pissing in the wind here, but I know that radio telescopes are EXTREMELY sensitive to electrical fields. So much so that you can't drive a car near it because it causes too much interference. In fact, some radio obseravtories will have old diesal cars that don't have any electronics or heavy electrical spark plugs in them to reduce the interference. I believe that this is the case for these metal fillaments.
Just to throw out a useless fact, all the light that has been gathered and analyzed by all the radio telescopes in the world _ever_ is not enough energy to power a 100WATT light bulb. These devices are that sensative. Hence the reason for them being in West VA and SC... considering they can observe straight through cloud cover day and night.
Mini nukes? Hell NO. We need full-out neutron bombs to decimate an entire planet's population and sterilize it properly. I say we use the americium for space travel and everything else to scorch the surface and inialate alien species.
The protocol for 3G wireless devices is SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). 3G Wireless promises 2Mbps transfer rates which is well enough for live 2-way video feeds.
Thats just a load of bullsh1t. Canada's population is like 5% (exagerated)of the US. Do you think the race between Clinton and Lazio would have gotten any less press or any less attention if it was funded by individuals??? Hell no. The reason being because the people who CARE about the issues don't care about all the stupid TV commercials that 50% of their budget goes to. They can always get free press, and the press is always willing to publisize an issue.
What you described was a DONATION. What you're inferring now is that you support a candidate and made a website talking about how cool he is, etc. which is free speech.
If you're creating a website that the candidate himself has control over, then its a donation. If it is something that you solely have control over, or is your own personal website, then its free speech.
I have no clue what you're trying to get at. Donating a service thats valued at $6000 or something like that should be the valued as such. The limit is $1000 per individual per candidate. If he's going over that amount, then I see a problem with him donating such a service.
Go write a check to John McCain for $100 or whatever you can afford. He's the only politician I truly believe wants to use the system to fix the system. After all, thats the only way this stuff will be remedied.
We need more individuals funding campaigns, and less corporations and soft money, etc.
Pluto is hardly a planet, and its far away! Why would we want to spend resources on sending a probe to a body thats smaller than our own moon, and will take 10 years to get there!? Not only that, but I believe there are far many more reasons to go to the moon, mars, etc.
Namely because there are a lot of univs that don't require you to have a CS bachelors.
The difference between the two is that for an MS you have 2 years of training, while a BS you have 4. I've seen a couple people get turned down who have an MS because they sucked relative to someone who had a BS.
So remember this when you're applying for a job... lots of companies think diddly of an MS in CS.

Yeah... train them early for all those drinking games. Hey lots of those are zero-sum!

Old Dispute, old news.
This argument has been going on forever. What makes a planet, a planet? Who cares. Even minor-planets are planets.

The tech industry cannot afford to be racist in any fasion since 75% of any tech company's employees are of some non-european ethnic origin.
