It seems that there is definitely a chance of something like this working on damaged heart tissue. I posted a link to Extracelluar Matrix regeneration being researched at the University of Pittsburgh. Here is a video.
"ummm...yeah, sure, we'll turn off the towers for you *snicker*....please ignore the the two AH-64Bs that are loaded to the teeth."
As someone has already mentioned, there are AWACS, there are also many other ways to monitor movement and such, many of which I am sure are not disclosed to the public. For some reason, I have this notion that satellites may be involved along with predator vehicles and such...either way, I don't really like the, "$>kill -9 cellserivce", I'd much rather see "$>kill -9 taliban_all".
Basically it depends on the child's personality, their level of interest and the types of games they are interested in. Small doses of the right game are great. My son is four and would rather go outside and ride his bike and play ball. I think this is great, but it does hurt my chances for having a hunting partner to play World of Warcraft with.;-)
He has shown some interest in games. He occasionally likes to play Super Rub-A-Dub on the PS3, Spyro the Dragon and some Lego Star Wars. He likes to play, but he doesn't seem like he's compelled to play. Which in is also great. I want him to take it slow and the wife and I monitor his play time. I
I think you hit the nail on the head here. The answer is simple, its not the government, its the parents. How can we hold the government and teachers 100% liable for the education of our children if we as parents do not get involved on a daily basis with our children's lives and education? I personally believe this lack of involvement is the catalyst for a series of other disturbing issues.
My wife is a teacher at a middle school, while lack of funding is an issue, the lack of interest displayed by a lot of parents is just down right scary. Seriously, if mommy and daddy don't care why should the child?
With a lack of involvement, and doing things such as using the TV and video games as a baby sitter, its no wonder why the test scores of kids here in the US are so poor when compared internationally.
From my observations, there are way too many kids who are extremely disrespectful to their parent, and will do anything to get there way. The parents of such kids, will do just about anything for the kids, and really just want to be their "friend". I call BS! Be a parent! If a kid mouths off to you don't hesitate to tan his hide! Now, I am not an advocate of "beating" kids, but I do support controlled and metered punishment. Spanking can and should be given when appropriate.
So, what you're saying is that there is a buck to be made here? Hmmmm, I'll be right back... *runs off to start buying cars and house to paint in both Horde and Alliance schemes*
Revolutionary War? If I recall the British had superior numbers, weapons, ships, etc. Though I could be wrong. I will agree that it was a long time ago.
Also, what about the single US SEAL Team in the first Iraq War that, made the Iraqi military think they were a major amphibious assault force? I would say that was a pretty major engagement that was won, by a rather small, extremely well trained US military unit.
Normally, I'd say headache, but in this case I'd say its all good. Since we would then be able to use the Patriot Act against the authorities that made it, I would expect them not to be too happy and to create a "Security Patch" to Patriot Act 2.0 and close that loop hole.
Goodness know, we can't have the people using the law of the land against the law makers. Sheesh!
...that if the RIAA is sponsoring a "Reign of Terror" that everyone at the RIAA can be arrested, send to GITMO and tried under the Patriot Act? Would would a military tribunal say about the RIAA? Hmmm..:-P
I used to work for a software firm that wrote software for the property and caualty insurance industry. The practice of charging price 'A' to one customer and price 'B' to another is not necessarily discriminitory. Its more of a way to get your product into the hands of users who can't necessarily afford it.
For example. The company I worked for based the price to charge a client (insurance company) on their direct written premium (DWP). A small company could have a low DWP and be charged less than a company that was larger, and whose DWP was higher than the small company. It could also be flipped around the small company could have a higher DWP than the larger one. This may be because the larger company bought a smaller one to get into the insurance market and the smaller company has a better sales force or is highly specialized. Regardless, the price was based on DWP.
So maybe one company gets charged $1000 and the other $10,000. This isn't discriminatory because its what the company could afford. Its a win-win situation. The company got some money for its software even at $1000 and we have a nice addition to our user base. The real win is that the customer is now a user of that software and not someone elses. With this particular type of software being so expensive its likely that the new customer will not change vendors in quite a few years. (A lot of deals were in the millions along with a few years of implementation)
Microsoft is attempting something similar here albeit on a smaller scale. Sure they may not get a real financial return on their software that they sold to the Kenyan school for $100 bux. But the REAL return is that the kids in the Kenyan school are learning on MICROSOFT products and will know how to use those products and not the products of a Microsoft competitor and once a person gets familiar with something, its much harder for them to change to something that does the exact samething, even if it is cheaper or just plain free.
Don't get me wrong I am not trying to defend Microsoft by any stretch, but I can see what they are doing and its nothing more than what a lot of companies currently do to get users/customers.
They are merely attempting to price products appropriately to the region in which they are selling.
But my DRM unencrypted Springfield.45 works just fine, I can't seem to find a reason to upgrade. I mean the bullets get to the target much faster than I can ever get there. Ok, ok, I'll upgrade my ammunition storage capacity, and maybe the sights. More is better right?
I seem to remember seeing on a show called, "That's Incredible" many years ago...and I mean many, that there was an army vehicle in development that was called, "The Wasp".
This "Wasp" however, was more along the lines of the old Dick Tracy trashcan flyers. "That's Incredible" even had footage of the vehicle in flight as demonstrated by Army personel. The intent was for rapid removal of injured from the battle field and for recon...mostly recon as I remember.
The details as I recall them are that the pilot stood in this large "trash can" like thing that had room for two personel (standing/limping). It could fly at tree top level at about 60 to 70mph. It was stated that the vehicle used the jet engine from a cruise missle.
The video they showed on the show showed the vehicle lifting vertically, sliding left, right and backwards as well as cruising at treetop level very quickly.
I thought that it was the coolest thing I had seen way back then. Does anyone else happen to remember this?
I know that this may not be the ideal way to updating several desktops in a small office, but what about using something like rsync to handle the updates?
The server holding the repository gets the update and a scheduled job is kicked off nightly to sync to the repository.
There is a version of rsync for Windows as well. I'm using it here at work to keep our backup production server code in sync with production.
Well, for me personally, the only scene that I don't like is the same one everyone else agrees upon, where Greedo shoots first.
I think it was much better character development showing the "scoundrel" side of Han prior to his involvement with Obi-Wan, Luke and the rebellion. It shows the change in the character from a that of an almost thug to the "good guy".
While I agree that the trilogy as a whole does a pretty good job of this, I think that having Han shoot first shows that the character journeyed a longer road.
Personally, I have a tendency to forget the small details. You know, the ones that come back to byte you in the ass in a BIG way.
I had been trying to get organized at my new job and I was looking for something as well.
I came across a Post-It like solution for the computer, much like whats currently in Gnome and I am pretty sure KDE. Its called ATNote and its freeware. Its a nice little program with alarms and sticky-like windows that stick to your Windows desktop if thats what you use (I have to at work like most people out there). It has some nifty features. Alarms, changing colors for different stickys, translucency, and resizeable.
Its really helped me remember things. I just have to have that type of stuff right in my face or I will lose the note or forget about it.
I've done something similar with my friends. We've played a wide variety of games and can really get into them.
Our solution was to not only limit our hours but pick specific days of the week to play and stick to them. This really has worked out well as the wives are kinda enough to leave us all alone on the designated nights and the rest of the week, we spend time with family and doing other things. Of course we keep it to only two nights a week, but we typically play from 8pm to about 11-11:30pm.
As a side benefit it also helps us from getting bored and burned out on any particular game.
If this article is true and indeed there is a M$ plot to prevent potential competitors from being compatible, at what point do we as consumers and corporations decide to not worry about backwards compatibilty and move on to a new and improved standard?
Lets take M$ Word for example. At some point Open Office, Star Office, or some other as yet unamed office suite could have the same if not more functionality than Word, be more user friendly and yet be totally incompatible with Word.
Is there a standard for word processing documents or spreadsheets? If not,should there be? Probably.
I know that there may be oodles and oodles of Word and Excel docs out there and it would be nice if all applications played nice together. But if thats not going to happen then maybe its just time to move on to something else.
Of course you'll have to have a migration strategy in place.;-)

Definitely some great progress being made in this field of study, and I for one, am glad of it.
Then again, people often forget that "fair" doesn't always mean "equal"
