You can make out individual trees, but I do not see much in terms of individual logs in the blast pattern. Using the BBC info as a guide, you can easily see Lake Cheko
Actually, send them the boxes with the ram installed. Minus the drives. or with new empty 2 gig drives. and point out how you did not merely comply with the order, but you went beyond the call of duty in complying with the order.
Be sure to have a proper forensic quality image file of the original drive sets for when the judge figures out that they were being stupid, and has a expect ask for the actual thing they need.
of course you could also disable the original hard drives, and send them just the original naked platters. Be sure to handle with clean room gloves, so that only the opposition's or the judge's finger prints are on the disks. [smile]
I agree that beneficial mutations would propagate more quickly, and the really awful mutations would also die off quickly.
I would have guessed that this would have been obvious, given a good understanding of evolution. The question is, how many generations does it take to evolve towards better survival in a hostile environment? I would have guessed that you could see some positive change in dozens of generations, thus the way the idea was proposed.
One must remember the shorter length of reproductive generations that many wild animals have.
For those who have yearly reproduction cycles, we are looking at 21 years, twenty generations for evolution to take place. Those with shorter cycles, such as mice and rats, etc. They probably have evolved enough protection through 50 or more generations that life for them is not so much of an issue.
Creatures with longer cycles, such as humans, would probably have a hard time adapting via evolution. The positive note hear is the relative short half life, but it is still a problem for future generations.
There are some places that do sell touch screens, and similar multi-touch screen technology. You can buy a multi touch screen right now but it won't be the same. Although the technology is quite different than Jeff Han's multi-touch screen, you can buy a similar multi touch screen from many suppliers.
This is actually quite interesting technology. It has been conceived before - but only that - conceived. This is one time Microsoft gets kudos.
Not quite. Even tho Microsoft was the first to market with something in the $10,000 range for places like Vegas. I wonder what the Blue Screens look like?
I imagine that Jeff Han's own Fascinatingmulti-touchsystem just might not use Windows as a fundamental foundation. Don't forget about the 16 foot long interactive wall So I can imagine several patent fights coming out of this, even though the research lines are likely independent. Microsoft might even get accused of stealing somebody else's research, regardless of the facts.
Of course, this happens a little while after Apple revealed their own multitouch interface. Microsoft must hate that. After all, Microsoft can't get a patent on the use of fingers, even tho they can try.
1) that a scientist is a person who tries to figure things out. They are into figuring out problems.
2) There are different kids of scientists.
3) These Scientists are interested in different kinds of things
4) Your interest is in how and why people feel things, such as hot cold dizzy, etc. You can use the ten dollar words, just explain them really clearly.
5) Show and Explain a cool but simple magic trick showing on how you trick people. Explain the trick so that they can do it.
6) Then you can get into movie tricks and special effects.
point being that it would be pitiful if a checkbook program would need 16 gigs of ram to load. What are you doing, simulating a hand-written register for Mr Scrooge?
what to stop someone from hosting this files locally, for their own use, on a local server? In some cases this would not be practical, with redirects for downloading, etc. but could this be done for some instances?
For the vast majority of folks who are not fluent with video editors, this might be enough. It might be good enough to make sure that most folks can't upload. Sure, altering the speed by 1 to 5% might screw up the digital signature. But then there was that case of a classical piano artist whose husband had been caught passing off other performances are her own.
It might come down to another technology arms race. Or it might come down to an uneasy truce, if the lawyers can keep their paws off of things.... (not likely)
considering the news coverage if she the coroner went public with the threat, it would have been dangerous to make that ploy. given the quality of the news coverage, it is not likely that she would have had problems getting people to believe her.
incompetent or bought/blackmailed off?? since her life, apparently, has been miserable since then, having resigned in disgrace, probably not bought. And if she was a dedicated critic, she would have made headlines out of any blackmail attempt. So it looks like incompetent.
and Scientology gets brownie points for wanting all of the evidence looked at, not just a slice favorable to them.
saying that firebombing a church was a good thing. I think you can agree that this would be a really bad thing.
And since some geeks can be real jerks at times, and since scientology is a favorite religion to dump on, I can see the guy getting all OCD about it, being a jerk, saying something really stupid. and then afterwards "Who? Me? I'm so innocent"
Of course, this could never happen. Didn't Imus just get fired for something that was taken as offensive to some? Of course, he said ity on the air, and was taped....
Shouldn't we be more worried about people flying airplanes into skyscrapers and things like that, vs probably incompetent medical care? and if I recall correctly criminal charges were dropped because the Florida Coroner in the case was basically an incompetent screwball. (read down to see the problems with the testimony) To tell you the truth, some of the critics are overly OCD about this too. So much so that they scare me.
One of the reasons, if not the chief reason, that rape is so absolutely horrible is that the victim has no choice. They're powerless to do anything against this monster who's forcing them to do something that's normally very intimate. In Second Life, where's the intimacy? Where's the powerlessness? If real rape could be handled by a few power switches or a task manager then it wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is.
This walks right into the teeth of the argument:
well, it's her fault she walked down that street. She didn't have to go down there, you know.
In other words, it's the victims' fault for being in a dangerous area. Now, when was the last time you had to sign a disclaimer before entering a city, state, or town?
yes, the potential personal harm is not a physical as in real life. But who should take the blame for such an online event? It is probably understandable in WOW, where RPP (RapePillagePlunder) is part of the "normal" facts of life. But in another online world, where the rules of action are that criminal activity is not the norm?
And why should I have to log out because someone else is being a complete jerk? This is where an anti-social definition of fun ruins it for most folks....
So what forms of undesired interactions are crimes, compared to those that are not?
Is unauthorized use or manipulation of a digital work a crime?
Is virtual rape a form of vandalism like graffiti?
Does a person have a right to the use of their avatar without unasked for and uncivilized interference merely for the entertainment and pleasure of others?
I can just imagine the conversation:
Look, she's fighting back! Isn't that just sooooo funny? Why doesn't she just get in the mood and go along with it?
Or should all of this impolite interaction be explicitly be part of the disclaimers for participating?
The leaker was arrogant/foolish enough to use his real name.
This is supposing a lot. I for one, would probably use the name of somebody I didn't like. Maybe something like Steve, or Bill. But that might be a little obvious, no?
Microsoft has a history of getting things sort of right eventually, usually around version 5.0 of something. Zune 1.0 was like Windows 1.0. Zune 2.0 will be like Windows 2.0
A viable variant in this line of work will probably hit the market in time for the Christmas shopping season of the year 2012, long rumored to be the next season of the Apocalypse by the tin foil hat types, in cahoots with the Maya calendar freaks. Give my regards to Zule.

This means that being gifted is sometimes pigeon holed as being defective.
Never mind the nasty side effects of inappropriately prescribed drugs.
I wonder why so many bright kids are skeptical of school?
of becoming a roaring success.
Then you come in and steal the fruits of their labors. Because the way they developed it and did it is not the way you would have done it.
and their way worked.

There is a study that indicates that low levels of radiation can have positive effects on health. Not that I would recommend moving to Chernobyl any time soon.

Darn. I wanted them to be red for a change. A nice color to inspire panic.

2) There are different kids of scientists.

you forget, it's a 64 bit processor, so the sweet spot will be 16gig of ram to run your windows checkbook program
