I doubt it, at least not the kind of person the grandparent is referring to. If you are you should be calling a research lab and asking for bids to be a guinea pig. Tetrachromats are extremely rare.
This hypothesis sounds more likely (from http://www.physics.utoledo.edu/~lsa/_color/18_reti na.htm
Rods and all three cone types readily absorb ultraviolet radiation, photons of which are energetic enough to damage these delicate cells. The reason we cannot see in the UV is because the eye lens is opaque in that wavelength range. In addition, the cells in a region called the macula surounding and including the fovea contain a yellow pigment that further prevents short wave radiation from reaching the photo-receptors. Some people with less of this yellow pigment and those who have had their lenses replaced with plastic inserts can see further into the UV than normal people can.
I call bullshit. 256 meg is plenty to run desktop apps, and you can *easily* fit a usefull distribution in less that a gig. You don't have to install everything you know.
you'd be generating electricity at the cost of momentum. If the sail absorbs the photons to make electricity it can't reflect the photons to make motion.
The gameplay is addicting. Basically its all about positioning your tank. Since the tank doesn't move very fast you have to think ahead. Also the shots are pretty slow so you have to shoot out way ahead of a moving target. Newbies will get outsmarted by more experienced players, but will get enough lucky shots now and again to keep them interested in playing.
There is a lot of opportunity for team strategy, especially in CTF mode. Many server operators tweak the map/rules to yield some interesting play possibilities.
Yeah, it's fun. The graphics look like they date from the 80s because they do! Actually I turn the graphic settings down from the default.
Funny (to me) that this got mentioned. I was just messing around with a "Holosseum" this afternoon at work. The game totally sucked, so we started plugging other arcade boards into the jamma connector just for fun. Other games looked really funny on the display because they use the whole screen instead of just showing the characters against a black background. I think tetris looked the best, even though it was upside down:)
Yeah, but we are talking about using a holodeck in conjuction with a replicator. The holodeck program could be set up in such a way that the apple (or any item that needs to be "real") could be fabricated in a replicator and transported into the holodeck seamlessly.
I still haven't seen GOOD two-tuner support in 2005
Ironic that your name contains "myth" as we've had that capability in mythtv land for quite some time. You can actually have as many tuners as you want spread out over as many machines as you want. The M$ solution will never be a killer set-top machine, unless by "killer" you mean "microsoft drm-encumbered proprietary evilness"
That's nothing. I've had huge hassles trying to get video clips in.ppt to work between different windows machines all running the same version of Powerpoint. In this respect, Powerpoint doesn't have any advantage over OO.
I totally agree, its sad really. I think the moment I realized this was when I read the comments on the ipod halloween costume story. What a bunch of assholes!
Don't try to install different distributions to get random hardware to work, that's the windows way. Figure out what the hardware is and make sure your kernel has support for it compiled in, or you have a module for it.
in your situation:
run 'lspci'
find the line that corresponds to your soundcard.
go to http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ and follow the instructions
In Cosmos, Sagan fought for the protection of the environment,
I must have missed that part. Can you refer me to the relevent episode?
criticized religious fundamentalism and pseudoscience,
That doesn't sound political to me, as those mindsets are the antithesis of pure science
and warned of the dangers of nuclear war
Sagan did have this on his agenda, though it was usually only implied in passing remarks. Still it doesn't seem very political.
Mixing science and politics is dangerous. Science should remain agnostic to the prevailing political climate, or it risks being subject to that ever-changing climate.

Don't you think that if the soldier wanted the family to have a given email he would have sent it to them?
the key is that serial number displayed in the screenshot (if you weren't joking about that)
enjoy

outrageous: exceeding the limits of what is usual
believiable: capable of being believed especially as within the range of known possibility or probability
how can a claim be outrageous and believable? (m-w.com)
oh yeah, and designing, creating, and administering a MMORPG doesn't take any skill.
we are talking about computers, not textile sweat-shops ;)
How is this not better than the current Unix way of doing things?
umm, you have to use a mouse?

What a ridiculous post.

I don't understand how you can check whether a predicted probability of rain is "within 25%". It either rains or it doesn't.

Isn't the monitor supposed to be the other way around for cocktail style games? hehe, I'm sorry to tell you that after you've already got it in there.

That sounds pretty neeto, what is the brand name of the cat door, and does it actually work?
Our money is so gay!

Scientific theories [should] have no relation to political alignments.
Though Cosmos had great non-cg animation and a good soundtrack too.
I just hope it's not like that string theory series that was all style and no substance.
