Interesting article. I saw some of the original series and never wanted to see the new one but now I think I will see if it's on somewhere in cable-land. So the writers know the difference between star systems and galaxies but even documentaries have sound in space: Does the new Battlestar Galactica maintain the "standard"?
Or my car stereo which thinks that if my headlights are on it must be dark and then "helps out" by reducing the brightness of the controls to the point I can't make them out when I have my headlights on in the daytime.
Yeah, I can see it now. My eyes require larger print, pictures, etc. on the display I have. I can't quite make something out and lean forward: it gets smaller. To get it bigger I must lean back. And so on and so on. I think the Greeks had a story about something like this.
Possums are said to eat rats but I'll bet it's way easier, in Brooklyn, for them to find food that doesn't bite back. Live and let live.
What about more dynamic range in the sensor?

At work we routinely create images with 12 bits of dynamic range. It's trivial to map this for 8 bit display. We use monochrome sensors, though, and I don't know if if the dynamic range is available for color.
The hardware has already been developed and deployed in cities around the world. Southern California has lots of intersections where cameras will take pictures of cars going though red lights. I've heard of other places that can even detect rolling stops. I encountered what you are talking about in Brasilia, Brazil, about 13 years ago. They were pretty smart in that more structures to place cameras/radars were constructed than the number of cameras/radars they had. Drivers all knew where the structures were, would slow down, and then speed up again. I was told that after a couple of years a new mayor was elected and he forgave all the citations.
I don't think you could afford all the testing of a home brew system and I suspect that the law would need changing to allow cittions from the cameras.
It that like an egg race or a three legged race? One that can't be run on an ocean beach? Or, considering this forum, is it a race to get exclusive access to an object?
The plan is to replace the wild mosquitos with the genetically modified but if the wild mosquitos are more fit it probably won't work. Quite an achievement, though. Of course they could now create a super mosquito that is more fit, bites the hell out of us but doesn't pass on malaria. Might be worth it.
I bought a new amp that supported wireless surround sound speakers and after a while figured out that they were killing my WiFi. The manufactures documentation didn't specify the band (maybe in the fine print) and the vendor was hard put to come up with what WiFi channel to use. After two years the vendor still has nothing about this on the web site and I have to turn the amp off to use WiFi.
"...is designed to siphon the crude oil away from the water."
Really?
siphon
- a tube running from the liquid in a vessel to a lower level outside the vessel so that atmospheric pressure forces the liquid through the tube.
- A pipe or tube fashioned or deployed in an inverted U shape and filled until atmospheric pressure is sufficient to force a liquid from a reservoir in one end of the tube over a barrier higher than the reservoir and out the other end.
- To draw off or convey through or as if through a siphon.
Give me a break, the proper measurement "is on the head of a pin". I mean, whoever heard of how many angels can dance on a grain of salt. Never mind their motivation.
"About 8 percent of human genetic material comes from a virus and not from our ancestors, according to an article by University of Texas at Arlington biology professor Cédric Feschotte published in the Jan. 7, 2010 issue of Nature magazine."
NOT from ancestors according to the article. It's a badly written press release. I'm sure that the Nature Article spells it all out but I don't have a paid subscription so I can only go by the press release.

And this can be demonstrated by dimensional analysis!
This may give new meanings to the geek words "virus" and "infected".
At least they wouldn't have robbed at gunpoint before incarceration.
Hasn't that already been patented?
Corn is a grass, more or less.
Nope!

Here's a link to the same story with a picture taken from the side, much more revealing. Four motors total grouped in two pairs.

OMG, in a few thousand millennia the man in the moon will look like Ronald Reagan!

I assume the correct translation, then, would 'variety of potato'.

I've always wondered how to get in on auctions like this. Anyone know how to find the pertinent information?
Yeah, there's gold waiting to be extracted from those disks ...
4 * 60 * 60 * 24 = 345 600 bbs per day about 1/3 of a millioin, but still a very big number.
Was this taken from the maximum estimates of the flow rate or ??
I think that PB should be taxed on our oil that is being squandered.

I don't have any suggestions on the hardware but how often do you plan to swap out your lungs or is there a medical procedure to flush out the grit?
If you think getting it registered and getting plates for it is going to be hard wait until you try to insure it (them?)
