I worked as a night doorman for a couple of years and also suffered a shift in sleep time. You've got to break the back of night insomnia.
Exercise and sleeping aids are definetly necessary. Ask your doctor for Ambien, it really helped me. Make sure that your bedroom is cool during the night, remove all books (exept maybe boring ones),computerm games and TV from your bedroom. Try to stay awake during the day even if you did not sleep at night. Exercise in the morning. Bring down your temperature in the evening (cold shower or a walk in cold weather).
If you still can't sleep read something boring.
Russians use metal automatic pencils (no need to sharpen them). Are you saying that a pencil like that could not serve the same purpose?
Besides, graphite is better for preserving writing since it contains no acids that eventually destroy the paper.
You do not need much processing power to run UAV -- Progress spacecraft is a pretty advanced UAV -- can dock automatically for instance, and it's computer probably has just a few megs of core memory.
"Applications for this system are potentially frightening," said an intelligence source. "One expert I spoke with estimated that an integrated bundle of 12-15 PlayStations could provide enough computer power to control an Iraqi unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV -- a pilotless aircraft."
Ancient Greeks had coin operated vending machines in year 25 bc -- her e is a page describing that. A vending machine has states,just like a Turing machine. A Turing machine can do anything a digital computer can do.
On the other hand the question should be who created the first digital computer with an electronically stored program, and then the answer would probably be the English, because unlike Colossus other machines of that time did not have stored programs.
Like to read books on velure, which does not turn yellow and crumble with age. Or on marble slabs which will last almost forever.
But becuase of the convinience and cheapness of paper I read paper books.
Dealing with pixelation, radiation and oter -ations is a technical problem which will be resolved soon enough. E-book revolution will allow us to purchase books cheaply, carry huge libraries in very small packages, search in text of the books, use dictionary on the spot when we see a new word, and many, many other things that we absolutely can not do with regular books.
There will be no central location for all the books, just like the regular books, e-books will be scattered across multiple devices and locations. There also will be hard copies, for the unlikely event if those EMF radiating atomic bombs start flying.
After the library of Babylon people learned not to keep all the books in the same place, so global censorship will not be a problem. If anything, it will be easier to distribute unwanted books. Electronic samizdat is a lot easier than messing with a lot of paper. Besides, I hope you just noticed how neat the dictionary lookup feature of electronic medium is:)
You don't need to hack anything:
here are some features of MiniJam from
http://store.innogear.com/promo/index.cfm?CFID=371 66&CFTOKEN=80828898&source=firstweb
Utilities include: Megabyte Flash memory expansion, Mass storage of Palm OS Applications and Database files, and Programmable flashing LED Silent Alarm.
This means that you can use it with Visor to sort through your playlist without a computer, and then remove and use it a standalone MP3 player. Lets put it this way -- you buy a portable MP3 player at a regular price (MiniJam is not more expensive than Rio with the same size flash card), but you can also use your Visor to edit the play list _and_ store PALM OS programs on a flash card to use on your Visor. You can also think of it as a Flash card reader that is also an MP3 player.
Besides, you can store programs in the flash card
of the MP3 module.
And don't foget that battery life of Visor + MiniJam module is much longer than that of iPaq.
One of my high school teachers gave the following speech about importance of number research --"Just a while ago scientists discovered a new number between eight and ten. It was decided to call it 'nine'. Do you understand how important this is?"
True, but a wireless modem for Handspring will be out soon enough. More then that, there will be a _choice_ of wireless modems and plans. Just take a look here -- 4 wireless modules were shown at PC Expo.
"I'd buy that for a dollar " is a quotation from Robocop, but actually it is based on "I'd buy that for a quarter", taken from an amazing story "The Marching Morons" by C.M.Kornbluth , which I would definetly buy for a dollar:))
The interesting thing about this is how the found the proof for tau neutrino existence: their beam left millions of tracks in 3D medium. What they were looking for is a 1 mm track left by a decaying particle, "a track with a kink" as they call it. Computer controlled cameras were used, and I bet some supercomputers were used to search for this pattern (or maybe just a lot of work studies and interns). If this is not an application for distributed computing, I don't know what is.
A fun quote from the article : "Stanford University physicist Martin Perl, winner of the 1995 Nobel Prize for discovering the tau lepton, the first indicator for a third generation of particles, congratulated the DONUT experimenters."
There seems to be no hit to their stock price because of this -- RAZF is up 9% to 22.125 .
Based on my experience in working for another large agency, it seems like it is the project manager who is going to kicked in the ass for that. Companites like RAZF have so many clients that they screen for potentially "difficult" ones and refuse to take work from them.
There was a hell of a lot research done on weather control in Russia. Just a while ago I've heard that Moscow's mayor is routinely using some sort of chemical dropped from planes to clear up clouds before important events... Can anyone validate this?
It is cheaper to control light pollution than build something in space. http://www.darksky.org is just one of the places where a little money go a long way to fight light pollution.
Could this scope be trained on the moon, or even on something even closer by, like a spacecraft in orbit? Would the slewing system be nimble enough to track something moving very fast (like the spacecraft or the moon), or to get to a place where gamma ray burst was detected fast enough?
Yes, and let's not forget that Mir computers were running that long on 4 megs of RAM (core memory rather). The fact that Mir lived after a fire and a crash (and who knows what else) speaks only for its great ruggedness.

I took me a year.
64 Megs on a Palm OS is possible with Handspring Visor. You can buy yourself a 64 meg smart media card for $99 and and a Mem Plug module for $50.

I meant to say "no plans for Carnivore". I was misquoting this page.
Based on Speakeasy's corporate philosophy I think that they would fight Carnivore as much as humanely possible.
Besides, their service is top notch.
I think dsl from speakeasy.net is exactly what you want. You can get ssh, they will not allow Carnivore, they warn about outages.

There is a driver for USB synching under Linux. Instructions can be found here.

To be exact, a Wristband Thincom modem is $119.95 and Handspring Modem is $129.95.
GPS unit called Geode is is in beta testing now, it will cost about $250.
Yeah, but you could always add 8 megs of ram with SuperPilot Memory Board for $149.95.
True, but a wireless modem for Handspring will be out soon enough. More then that, there will be a _choice_ of wireless modems and plans. Just take a look here -- 4 wireless modules were shown at PC Expo.

If they would connect a few Palm Pilots (or even better Handsprings) together they would not need a high end flat panel computer :)
