From first thoughts and glancing at the article, it seems the first use that comes to mind is for sound effects in movies and the like. While it's great that you can not waste a perfectly good pot on a second-long sound effect, I'm wondering if there are any other implications.
Perhaps we can use this sort of things in reverse? Like "the audio from this emergency call indicates a lot of expensive china breaking! The china sounds like it is from midway through the Ming Dynasty! There's only one place in town that sell that! BS CSI TO THE RESCUE!"
Well, it's not inside all of us, guessing by the article. It differs between all of us, and besides, people generally think of viruses as bad things. Bacteria, yes, but I can't really think of very useful viruses.
I thought more of a sort of colour-based encryption system, actually.
More on topic, though: What wavelength do the magnetic fields make? Are they power-line esque in frequency (really low?) It makes sense to be able to 'see' moving magnetic fields, since light is just EM waves to begin with, but if the frequency is -that- displaced from the visual spectrum, that's pretty neat.
I mean, it's a bit paranoid, but imagine:
"I'm sorry, but we've found you too liable to get cancer/something else undesirable. We're giving your seat in the class to this more guy who's more likely to be successful and not dead."
For someone who keeps harping about reading comprehension, you keep reading around my points. I even gave the old wink-wink, nudge-nudge treatment in the hopes that you would actually get it this time instead of reading a joke as serious (for my original comment was intended to be just a 'oh, that's an odd way of saying that, brief haha' comment that obviously failed and got marked as a troll). I can explain it for you: I pointed out a 'flaw' in your grammar and then immediately employed that flaw.
I said that neither my mistakes nor your 'mistake' were sucking at English, and am well aware of the preposition in my first post: hence why I didn't seriously call you out on starting with a conjunction (see above point, in case you didn't read it this time, either).
On an unrelated note, I've finally realized that/. doesn't take enter keys for an answer. Paragraph tags: GET!
As you can read above, I understood what it meant, and understood it right away. I just thought the phrasing was funny, and you agree with my example, unless trying to nitpick my followup to that example is your 'disproof.'
Dude, mistaking 'imply' for 'infer' is not the same as sucking at English. If it were, you suck more: you're not supposed to start a sentence with a conjunction. But it's not (See what I did there?), so chill.

In general, this strategy works in 'real' dating sims, too, unless you're playing one in which you can die. In that case, you're just as likely to get laid as you are to get killed.
watching the characters go from juveniles to ancients, even dying and passing on the mantle to a new generation (two, in fact.)
One of the Harvest Moon games does this, I think. Rune Factory 2. It's not exactly an RPG, though, and the main character doesn't die so much as just leave.
I know what it says, but the phrasing is horrible, and without any more connection besides 'advancing,' it's a horrible non-sequitor. Also, it says "OTHER problems."
It makes even less sense than saying: "While Gameboys Advance, it seems that Project 10^100 does not."
Lastly, try reading this: "While Bill and other lab rats complete the maze quickly, Ted does not."
One would quite easily and naturally imply that Ted is a lab rat.
'While genocide and other pressing problems relentlessly advance,' remarked contest finalist Daniel Meyerowitz to Wired.com, 'it would seem that Project 10^100 does not.'
Project 10^100 is a problem? It seems to be -having- problems, but I don't think it's quite something we need to put a stop to.
I always found this phrasing odd. Of course it IMPLIES causation. It never NECESSITATES it, however. Implication is not the same as equality. Certain jokes can imply that the joke-teller is sleeping with your mother, but that doesn't necessarily make it true.

Good god, you're right! Dreadfully sorry.
Well, when iPhone users got a kind-of Copy/paste, it was news, right? Even though Windows Mobile phones have had it for years.

Well, now this is freedom from having complications in your decision to by the revolutionary new iPhone!
The obvious workaround would be to get into a deep, loving relationship with Justin, then break up with him and use this software.
Well, I just found a lost black sheep. You can help join me in raising it, thanks to Zynga.
If you don't think you can reliably measure creativity, you obviously aren't being creative enough!

We're on the way to getting 3rd party Skype applications. Neat.
I was personally expecting an a telescopING eye.

I certainly didn't have the foresight to see this coming!
It does not mean I suck more.
But it's not (See what I did there?), so chill.

Good point. Drones also benefit from not freezing to death in 20 below conditions at night.
Well, everyone else understood what it meant.

After all, everything in California causes cancer.
It's kinda like the difference between peep show and voyeurism.
On the contrary, my dear friend... I believe that the workplace marketshare of IE will plummet when the porn industry drops flash!
