The point wasn't that there would be problems exactly like lunar dus., rather there would may be other pitfalls. Perhaps every x days the ground heats up to 1000 degrees and we dont know it yet. Perhaps earthquakes are quite common. Perhaps the atmosphere dissolves temporarily forming tiny holes that let massive doses of radation. Theres a million possibilities we need to try to rule out as much as possible for going there.
If NASA want to fulfill this goal, then must gather as much information as possible about Mars
Good point, who knows what dangers to man wel'l find on mars that these rovers could uncover. For all we know there could be a danger like the lunar dust waiting for us there. We need to discover these dangers before humans go.
This is a Bass pro shop in the middle of Livingston parish Louisiana. Not to offend anyone considering my girlfriend lives there. But everyone there is a redneck and looking forward to this shop opening.
This is how it really should be, Here a company is trying to block their competitor from building a new store using money from the local government. Ultimately it was ruled that the citizens should be able to vote for wether their tax dollers got used for it. Of course everyone there wants this new store to open.
The reason he got away with this is because he was not selling the domain name for money. The judge ruled since he was not linking to competing hair loss clinics it was ok.
Why would htey need 3 geographically diverse AP's, the wireless nic's broadcast uniformly, there is no directionialization. 3 geographically diverse listening stations should be enough to triangulate someones location.
The FBI as of yet has not made any announcements to any projects involving WiFi. One of the key things about WiFi is that as of right now you are pretty much untraceable. Their next step is to do data logging, and then finally triangulation of the location of a given user on a WiFi network.
This looks great and the fix is even available right now through an extension. I just wonder how the advertisers will get around this one. Hopefully they don't get around it for a good long time. Fortunately the advertisers who have been using these methods so far have not been very numerous.
Unfortunately, to Microsoft this often means banning GPL. The EU needs to require them to open up the patents 100% with no licensing required for the third parties to be truly competitive. However I do agree on paper right now it seems good.
Except that this isn't about Office (yet that is). It is about Windows Media Player. They need to force Microsoft to open the format for Windows Media Player at this point. In the future I'm sure the EU intends to go after things such as Microsoft Office.
Yeah... open up the specs to their drm formats. Like the RIAA/MPAA would really ever allow that to happen. You honestly think they don't believe in security through obscurity?
Except this is not the RIAA or MPAA, this is Microsoft and the EU. Nothing has taken place in America hence the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America have no say in what goes on.
Licensing the source-code does not do much, a much better solution would be to require them to open the patents and specifications up for their drm and media formats. This gives their competitors a firm standing to enter the market with them. It would also allow opensource implementations of their media formats on linux with full drm support.
a friend of mine was game programming and he could not figure out why he could not get a FPS beyond 70 or so, it was because that was the refresh rate of his monitor.
There are ways around that limitation. The most common method is to just feed frames as fast as you get them and not bother to wait for the gpu to respond, then the gpu picks what frames to drop and what to show. Generally you don't do this unless you're bellow 60fps however. As for the advantage in playing 120fps? none from what I understand the human eye can only see about 60fps anyway. Occaisonally you run into people who can see more but in general you're not picking up any extra information in those few frames.
Not to knock AMD or anything, I am personally interested in say a 4-way xeon system becoming a 16-way system with dual cores and hyperthreading. While the HT doesn't do much for throughput even on multi-threaded applications, it really does improve responsiveness.
Well right now gaming seems to be more of a new thing, I think we are suffering from the "fast and furious" syndrome, wherein we see people thinking ohh if I do this and this and this then I get x peak performance, nevermind that y minimum performance is worse than stock. Over time I think a second subculture will appear that will focus on the entire range.
It looks like gamers won't be all that interested in this offering. Even once games support mutli-threading, this wont end up boosting their framerate much. Instead this will raise the lower framerate and give them smoother gameplay. While this is a great improvement unfortunately most gamers seem only interested in their max fps and not the minimum. However for workstations this will be great, lower cost than dual procescors means graphics design companies and advertising agencies can get their job done quicker and more efficiently.
I just went to the DMV this past wednesday, took me 5 minutes 15$ cash
Sorry that should be 13$ cash. Oddly enough the website for the DMV said it'd be 16$ and I'd need like 3 different forms of ID but the DMV I went to didnt need the ID (I assume because my old license was on file) and because I don't have a car registered in my name I didn't need proof of insurance.
Where do you live? you will need to get a new registration tag within three business days for $50 you'll need to go down to the DMV for that, and it will cost you $35.
Here it is 20$ for a new inspection sticker and 13$ for a replacement drivers license, heck I just went to the DMV this past wednesday, took me 5 minutes 15$ cash and I didnt even need to show any ID or proof of insurance, just told them my name they looked at my picture on file and gave me an eye exam, then took a new picture to update the one on file and even offered to update my weight and address on file.
Also, only eukaryotes have mitochondria.
More specifically I believe only aerobic eukaryotes have mitochondria as they are heavily tied to the utilization of O2 in the production of ATP. Anaerobic cells simply convert the sugar to lactic acid of alcohol without using oxygen.
Not only that, looking at a cell in a microscope can't show us things like the proteins in the surface, or where DNA is when the cell isn't going through mitosis. Nano-Probes have the potential to map a protein's path through the membrane a lot better than conventional methods which kill the cell.
Just a note. Pinoctytosis is for bringing forein materials in and exocytosis is for sending proteins out of the cell via the golgi aperatus, neither are really for spitting out foreign/toxic chemicals.
Actually the 100 years was time for things to randomly come together. The processes have all been done already we just havent done them from start to finish because it would take longer than most people live to do them from start to finish.

Drag and drop is farely easy, there are dhtml libraries to do that effect.

Look up Miller and Urey's expiraments, Sydney Fox's expiraments and Manfred Eigen's arguements.
Actually the 100 years was time for things to randomly come together. The processes have all been done already we just havent done them from start to finish because it would take longer than most people live to do them from start to finish.
The process was not observed, and it has never been recreated.
Actually they have recreated all steps of the proces but the final one. Given ~100 years scientists probably could recreate all steps.
