Learning more about the neural circuits involved in epilepsy could help scientists develop devices that can predict when a seizure is about to occur, allowing treatment (either shock or light) to be administered only when necessary, Boyden said.
An automatic anti-seizure device was featured in the novel "Terminal Man". Hope this one would work better.
Homestead is not protected against tax liens, mortgages, homeowner association assessments, or from mechanics liens associated with labor or materials to repair or improve the homestead property. Also, the asset protection benefits of homestead should not be confused with the homestated tax exemption.
The mortgage company's lien on the house can be executed if you default, homestead and/or bankruptcy protection notwithstanding.
THEY can take your house, believe it.
Any secured creditor can take the collateral in default (that's what secured means), unless someone has a higher priority lien on it.
With houses: Fed gov't first for back taxes, then other taxes, then first mortgage, then second, then third (if there is such an abomination), etc is the usual order.
That is why you have statistics like: you can be "Poor" according to the income based poverty line, and still have a phone, cell phone, car, 2 tvs, air conditioning, etc. And those items are quite common amongst the "poor".
Homeland Security would just drive by the house in an unmarked van doing the speed limit on his street and not any slower (so they would be NO suspicion), and not stopping, and do a drive-by image of his hard drive via TEMPEST and some technologies we don't even know enough to dream about .
Then they'd either ignore him or have him sent away.
Internet is now not 24/7 there. Drugs are available 24/7, dealers don't care it is night (many prefer it) and your stash won't disappear after a certain time of day.
Let's see how much drug usage climbs after this has been in place for a while.
. They read some of their writing, ad the idea was, primitive peoples, when they adopt Western diets, [they] adopt Western diseases as well: diabetes, heart disease, obesity, the foremost ones; some cancers -- colon cancer and breast cancer.
Of course they get more degenerative diseases. Since the other changes that came with Westernization meant their former number one killers of diarrhea, starvation, and malaria didn't kill them when they were young, they lived to get diseases of the old.
Not much heart disease or cancer if you die when you're 20, or 5, or an infant, and not much obesity when there's no food to eat.
Faster hardware is cheaper than better programmers, and much easier to find, and you know when you got good hardware, but you can think you've got a good programmer and be really wrong.
I have a patent pending algorithm that allows reproduction above the Nyquist limit by using a reverse-aliasing predictor transform.
It can represent up to the sampling rate, instead of half the sample rate.
Using complex elements in the transformation matrix one can get 2X, but that causes many terms in the transform to not cancel out until the end, and thus uses too much RAM (O(N^2)) for embedded applications. I've even got it up to 8X the sample rate using quaternions, but the exponentially increased complexity makes it impractical even for the desktop (slower than real-time on a 3 GHz PC).

Now look at them Lucents That's the way you do it You play your music on your Mp3 That ain't workin'! That's the way you do it Get your money for patents and your suits for free
Now that ain't workin' That's the way you do it Lemme tell you these guys ain't dumb Maybe get a lawsuit for your little codec Maybe get a lawsuit for your Zune
We gotta install class action lawyers Custom codec circuitery We gotta move these patent infringements We gotta move these Alcatel bills

Yes, I know his conviction was eventually overturned, but only after he spent ungodly sums of money defending his good name.
And his defending his good name didn't work so well since I wasn't even aware his conviction was overturned until just now.
I am glad it was, too bad it is so poorly known.

Also, you may be just as interested in preventing the signals from getting *in* as you are in preventing them from getting out./i?
The aliens and the CIA been talking to you?
It's easier to pay some one to repaint the house than secure their wireless for many people.
:)
Plus, it is like a tin-foil hat, for the whole house. So the CIA and the aliens can't beam thoughts into anyone's head.

Umm those are NECESSITIES!
I'd only start to worry if someone can use a rock to circumvent DRM then you could get sued under the DMCA. :)
FBI might do a search like that.

Because it is oh so difficult to change the MAC address.

My guess, at least 20%.
That's nearly 3/4 of a HORSEPOWER. are you sure that's right, that some people can work up to 75% as a HORSE?!
20 seconds to unconsciousness, stop breathing or to death or to needing medical help to survive?
How long could a person be breathing 100% N2 before simply removing them from that environment into a normal atmosphere still ends with them dead?

So if you get sick, we'll make sure to let you die rather than take any pills that you didn't personally pay the R&D for.

(sounds like something the Republicans might actually do
Global warming worries is so 1990's.
We won't have get to the point where it will really matter, Peak Oil will come and we won't HAVE anything to burn to create greenhouse gases.
Not that it would matter, when billions starve and get shot, bombed and nuked in the energy wars.
(perhaps I'm just kidding, perhaps not).
Computer time is more plentiful than human time.
Faster hardware is cheaper than better programmers, and much easier to find, and you know when you got good hardware, but you can think you've got a good programmer and be really wrong.
How many operating systems have your written?
Perhaps the DST change will be good for weeding out companies and systems which are too inflexible to accommodate this change without undue pain.
Perhaps it will force people to keep there systems up-to-date, or at least capable of modular replacement.
They could say you could always work at Wal*Mart.
And I don't mean in the IT department...
From the summary: "Which is the better biological explanation for a belief in God -- evolutionary adaptation or neurological accident? "
How about God designing us that way?
