It would be IR that you would want. IR is the wavelength of light that MOST matter produces at around 293K(280-300). This means that at normal room temperature, pretty much everything is emiting these nice photons. There wouldn't be any problem with distinguishing these from heat. In fact, a body(or any item for that matter) that is at around 280-300K is MORE responsive to a photon with a wavelength in the infrared range(isn't that like 600nm?... been a while since I've worked with such short wavelengths) You wouldn't have to worry about the UV because the only real abundant sources of UV on Earth are Lights.
I do, however agree that modifying our genetic makeup to do this would be dificult at best, impossible at worst.
Unix was done by Ma Bell... MS LICENSED unix code and created their own implementation and called it Xenix. They didn't like it so they sold it to Santa Cruz Operations(SCO) who took the ms hack and fixed it up a bit. They realized that they could do better from sscratch(almost anyways) so they licensed it directly from AT&T and created SCO UNIX. Xenix was a SCO/MS joint project you might say
You can make a smart card reader for about $10.00 in ratshack parts, much less if you don't demand an actual card socket. If you check into alt.dss.hack on *DREAD* usenet. And ask for plans and you're money. we MAY have accidentally read the contents of the UCF smart cards.....
I don't see this being a feasable idea because of the cost. If they try to make every citizen pay a couple hundred dollars to get this, noone will pay it. If the government tries to fund it, it'll be even worse because they'll end up getting charged out the wazoo and they'll probably end up running out of funding.
I believe the technical term is Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie. On top of preventing problems with tracking, the are a proven to be "An Effective, Low-Cost Solution To Combating Mind-Contro".
The ONLY reason I still use Netscape on my box is that I know like a quarter of a million people who use Aol and the way that AIM integrates with netscape is pretty nice. I'm sure that you could hack it so it was part of mozilla, but I'm lazy.
see, people have either used a local smtp server OR used spaces. This is obviously the work of a professional. No script kiddie could be THAT good. This guy probably has an AMD
Thank you for clearing that up for me. I took a basic genetics course 3 years ago but it's sort of achieved that tofu state in my head where you know it's there, you just can't really get anything useful out of it.
You confirmed the point I was making however, I just didn't QUITE understand the low-level working of genetics. Maybe after/. runs a few more articles about it I will.
The greatest gift you can give anyone is to teach them something new.
The problem with this type of comparison is that, for all we know, these genes could just say "make hair like this". 2 different animals could have COMPLETELY different bodies and one, or even many, identical chromosomes because it could only describe what it takes for the body to make hair, or bone, or anything common between the animals.
Since most(all I believe, but I'll stick with most in case I'm wrong) mammals fall under the mammalia Family, there can be many upon many similarities between the genetic makeups of the animals and still have little if none of it be relevant.

the point I was making was that CDs are more delicate than cartridges. and the whole cartridge thing that followed was pretty much a brain fart. I don't see cartridges geting any smaller over time just for pure convenience. If they get much smaller, you'll lose them.
I had a game boy for a while and those things were so tiny that I lost a good dozen games before I learned how to take care of them
Both types of media are great for what they do, but imagine it being a little cartridge(think nintendo here) that you pop in the front and it works great. Yeah, I'm sure that 10 years after it's use you'll have to do your special voodoo to make it work, but that's the way my DVD player is getting.
On a side note, this looks VERY promising for console gaming. The speed of a cartride with the capacity of a CD.
the lock was the earliest security feature they added to a site(I'm guessing that site was a bathroom or front door at first) and it was the easiest to get past. Even your average 12 yearold can figure out how to pick a lock with the proper tools and a little patience(neither of which that 12 year old probably has). Now we're talking about some guys at MIT. I'm sure that they could get past even a mid to high level electronic lock. I know that I've figured out how to open the electronic locks at my school with nothing more than a bad credit card.
the problem here is, unless you now your latitud and longitude, knowing the angle(from north) and the asimuth for you to look up at is very hard to do. the celestial coordinate system is actually pretty efficient if you're at a observatory(at the school I'm studying at, we have a 7m x 7m slab of concrete with angles labeled so all you need is asmuth) because it's the easiest way to do it.
Oh well, I'm wasted right now

but if you have a (relatively) constant heat per area, and you lower the area, you lower the total heat you can disapate over time.
but with what you're doing, you no longer need multilple virtual machines. What the person was talking about was like, you have 5 computers and 3 clients, each one gets just over 1 and a half systems..... suddenly you have a 4th user and each user gets one and a quarter. now 3 people sign out and one person gets 5 CPUs of power. He's talking about a VM with Multiple VMs in it.
I just used quite a few different concepts from my math classes to write a sorting function in coldfusion. I had an (UGLY) 3 dimensional set of data that needed to be sorted in a certain way. I had to use matricies(MATH) to store the data, then I had to use Row Operators(MATH) to manipulate the data. OH, and I had to use comparisons(MATH) to decide which rows to switch and which plans to swap. oh yeah, and I had to do an Average(MATH). All beit, I understand that some of the heigher order math isn't THAT important to PCs, but that's why most places let a CIS major or a CE major stop at something easy like Differential equations.
it encrypts with the tuner card's serial number not your video cards. This means that you can get the GForce 28 5000 Timmy model or whatever you want and not lose a damned thing, other than about $4700.
forgive me for I am no security/encryption afficionado, but, if it's displayed on your screen when you play it, havn't you decrypted it, and I KNOW that there is software out there that will allow you to do a screen capture on this. I'd be worried if it used overlay to do the displaying, but since it's not also a graphics card(although I'm sure some gcards will come with DTV support eventually, or maybe now for all I know), the Decoded stream has to pass through drivers somewhere to get to the card, and those drivers could be hacked.
actually, now that I've thought about it quite a bit... time doesn't have to be linear... so 9am M-5pm f can take place in a 15 minute(our frame of refernce) time, then friday 5 pm til sunday 5 pm could be like 2 weeks.
