FTA:In other words, it can take in the type of impulses generated by real neurons, and send them on in a form that could be further processed by other neurons
But does this mean that they have discovered a way to "plug in" a computer to a brain? Can these be used as an adapter to "talk" with neurons?
The deposit is about 3,000 cubic miles, or about the volume of Lake Superior
Now thats a lot of CO2. Now the question is, what can we do with it? Are there any simple ways to turn it onto C and O2? I'm thinking graphite or carbor bricks/powder for radiation shielding, and O2 for breathing.
The real power comes from aluminum batteries though.
FTA: There may be another way to transport electricity, using the Aluminum battery as a medium. Each kilogram of Aluminum produced represents about 14 KWh of electricity, used to produce the ingots. This means that if we ship 20,000 Tons of Aluminum to Europe, we would be transporting the equivalent of 20,000,000 * 14 KWh of electricity. This is 280 GWh of electricity, enough to power 500,000 households in Europe for a year. The question, of course, is how can we free this electricity from the Aluminum transported.
Here comes the Aluminum battery. Using Aluminum electrodes in a simple electrochemical cell, filled with seawater or Sodium Hydroxide solution and using a Nickel-Manganese counter electrode, the Aluminum will be oxidized to Aluminum Hydroxide and give off 3 electrons per Al atom used up in the reaction. A large part of the electricity stored in the above 20,000 tons of Aluminum can in this way be released, generating about 280 GWh of electricity and about 60,000 tons of Al(OH)3 sludge. This sludge could be recycled back to Iceland to generate again 20,000 tons of Aluminum to start the process of electricity generation anew.

Because its not just the iPhone. Unless it uses a device specific module (like GPS) then the apps will also work on iPods and iPads. Putting all 3 devices together makes for a number thats vastly greater than Android.
You also have the repeatability factor. If it works on my iPhone, it'll work on yours. With android being on multiple devices, the software may be the same, but the hardware might not.
Because the schools get kickbacks from the book publishers. And the book publishers only publish math books that can be used with specific graphing calculators. Guess who pays off the publishers to do that?
To further the greed, even if they aren't getting kickbacks to increase sales of one line of calculators, they have no incentive to keep up with the tech and rewrite the books.Once they write one book, all they have to do to newer editions is charge the order that the problems are printed in. So its the same book, but different enough to force people to buy the new edition.

Are you really telling me that the glimpse I got at 10yrs old is it? I was really looking forward to round 2 in 50-60 years. :(
And that is why we need skynet.
Yes, but damnit, I want us to reach the brain-in-a-jar-controls-robot stage of tech!

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of: land machine, flip switch to "on", make oxygen for the humans.

I would love 3G, so I can get web access all over the place, but when they want to charge me $50/month for 5Gb of data... GTFO
But make a "White Engineers" club, and suddenly you're a racist...

Is there a technical reason they cant just pump in liquid nitrogen?
so crazy that it might just work.
Now they just need to get Google to buy the pics.
I shouldn't stop hitting myself?

They are just living up to the regressive republican ideology: Do as I say, not as I do.
"THREAT STATUS ORANGE: Someone, Somewhere, May be planning AN ATTACK AGAINST THE USA. STAY ALERT AND REPORT ALL SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY."
Ocean is a big place, and nobody is watching.
"Fine, you wanna be stupid, then we wont play. Lets see how you deal with a one week outage of our FREE services to you."
The Regressive motto: Do as I say not a I do.
Love the fetus hate the child.
Now we just need something to make our dicks long and hard. Then the cycle of Idiocracy will have completed.
I don't know man, the Batman thing was simply brilliant.
That's why the smart captains travel under a decoy boat. Same way military subs travel underneath freighters to mask their noise.
Only helps slightly.
