Drove past the US Navy's Loran setup in southern Cal. last week. I remember when there was a major effort to build something along the 180KHz range in Michigan's upper penninsula for the same purpose, scrapped due to some opposition. I have heard of radio broadcast all the way down to 30-40KHz, at some time.
But I come from an area where Marine Layers (read:fog) is common and have missed a lot of the past Leonid and Perseid showers. I was lucky enough to be on a trip near Death Valley and camped in the bed of my pickup and saw the shower near California's Red Rock Canyon SP.
However, about 8PM on the evening of the 25th I was still seeing shooting stars as I drove back up the coast, so there's still a few out there if you're patient and would like to see them.
Nowhere is the fact that even toasters
are getting IP addresses mentioned, and none of the technology they are looking forward to will allow the provider to differentiate between my toaster and my neighbor's computer.
Due to a terrible mixup, your neighbor turns down the intensity of his monitor and you start burning toast.
Right now I'd settle for book on design standards

We're just getting our shop into developing desktop apps in VB (spare your opinions) and the crew at the top are more excited about whether we begin controls/objects with a standardized three letter mnemonic, rather than I do every command through command buttons, while Joe does every command through menus and shortcut keys, and Billy Bob does tiny little buttons all clustered together like a box load of Chiclets in the lower right corner of each form.
Anyone who can point me to a good book on enterprise design philisophy for VB wins my eternal thanks.
While the US has the most censorship on TV
than problably any other nation, they don't do political censorship.
And there was a play on Kirk's famous scene when he tied to smooch Anne Robinson. Shatner's kiss scene with Uhura, Nichelle Nichols, back in the 60's was too hot for NBC, a white man kissing a black woman, so lip contact was hidden.
That was obsviously the reply of someone who knows little of what they write.
No, bonehead, it's irony that he speaks up for the EFF in a medium which many parts of are sympathetic to or owned by the backers of the DMCA. It's pretty gutsy of Wil to do this. Typically those who take political stands against what the heads want have a tough row to hoe. Edward Asner's career clearly took a backseat during and after his stint as president of the Screen Actors Guild, particularly with some of the efforts he backed, including better compensation for actors on shows in syndicated reruns, since cable was growing and dipping heavily into the old vaults.
Interesting that he's backing the EFF, on a show presented on american TV which is no doubt behind the DMCA which has Sklyarov in jail. By the way, his hearing date was set today.
Rhetorical, certainly. As to whether the eqz donations are a ploy or best-up-front-honest-no-strings-attached-intention s one only has to consider Microsoft's past good will, which seems along the lines of, "here, have a free knife, oh, your hands seem to be busy, just let me put it in your back and give it a couple twists to make sure it doesn't fall out." Looking this gift horse in the mouth is advisable.
I predict in the next couple weeks IBM, or someone else, will announce a smaller, faster transistor which slices, dices and scrambles eggs in the shell, leap through flaming hoops and balance your checkbook.
Can't do the alpha stuff on mine, but something I miss from my old Amiga was the ability for an active window to be behind the one to the front. When I'm trying to copy or view something and don't need to see all that transpires in the active window this would be great. Alas, it has nothing to do with the video card and everything to do with Windows. Sorry for being off topic, but felt the need to vent.
50% of the time the survive, of that few actually are normal, high numbers have problems. This is why those who have done the research with Dolly and other cloned animals urge caution.
Targeted donations, which you can do, are effective for making sure certain research is done, even if it's not for something with a copyright or patent, but for... ahem... considerations I'm sure schools can be accomodating to regular donors.
As to tying up professors time, a friend first qualified to attend Stanford out of highschool, but after one semester grew tired of 600+ freshman classes "taught" by teaching assistants whom he could hardly understand for their accents. The real profs were off doing research for corps or govt, generating revenue for the institutions that hired them, sometimes because they could bring in this kind of funding. He spent the next couple years at Purdue, then transferred back for jr. and sr. years at Stanford.

All very neat, but I was just down at the Grand Canyon and brought back a lot of books and posters and a stuffed toy coyote, so deem myself an expert on the subject at hand. Seriously, from the top of the South Rim, near the village to the Colorado River below are many layers of various limestones and an unaccounted for "great unconformity" (980 million years of missing deposit, possibly due to an earlier erosion?) down to Vishnu Schist and Zoroaster Granite (~1.8 billion years ago.) Total drop in elevation about 5,000 feet. So, assume the great unconformity accounts for another 5,000 feet and you've only increased the diameter of the earth (~25,000 miles) by 4 miles. Granted this is all speculative, but the material which makes up these layers came from somewhere, possibly the aformentioned space dust which fed life, was processed by life, or just filled in gaps between life forms, 5,000 feet of rock came from somewhere.
But universities -- and some programmers -- oppose the open source
movement, fearful valuable trade secrets could be lost.
All things exist, in space and time, they are merely ours to discover. Stanford, I can understand as it's a private school, but UC Berkeley hasn't a leg to stand on. Perform a service, do some research for IBM or such, sure, but it occurs to me that if a public institution claims ownership then it should be public. No secrets, no problem. Probably something else behind this is schools competing for prestige. UCB and Stanford both have a large number of Nobel prize winners, each. But that's no excuse for double charging the public, taxes, tuition, etc. + license fees.
Didn't say I was accepting it, did I? I'm referring to the consdent by silence of my neighbors, city, state, etc. More are interested in whether they can get into the empty lane at a traffic light than world peace, let alone whether science should go into engineering reproduction. Last I looked my neighbors weren't marching down the street in mass protest, and where I live is where it _will_ happen when it does. They protest anything at the drop of a hat here. Too bad that desensitizes the general public, since they're viewed as always protesting malcontents.
When it develops a brain capable of human thought. That doesn't happen until the third trimester.
No functioning brain = not a person.
Thanks for clearing that up, now just tell me who adjudicated this and how they got appointed? There's no shortage of religious and non-religious stands as to when it's a person. Science and religion == oil and water.

If you have a non-SDMI player and it breaks and you send it in on warranty, you might get a replacement or repair with SDMI.

Looks like the authors have the same problem seperating the poles as Gary Larson lamented. Oh, well, it's just a game. ;-)

Yes, it was a bit of a let down, that and his "bowling shirt" I taped it, but don't expect to watch it again.

One need look no futher than the change of prosecutor and consider why the stance of the government has softened so.

Why pay for a building, staff, utilities, recruiting, wages, insurance, legal, etc. for a R&D department when you can rent one?

That's why you'll probably only hear about such things on 60 minutes or other topical news shows, rather than a balanced entertainment medium.
