Succesful use of genengineered bugs have been used "in the field" with oil spills. Naturally while the USA will have this initially, as time goes on others will get it. The USA will just have to stay 1 step ahead in order to continue to use this stuff.
"Sarge, I gotta immunize my ammo first before I hit the front lines."
As in biology, there may be infection, immunization, reinfection with altered strain, re-immunization and so-forth. Might be kinda fun
Buy a 'fridge & put it inside = COOL CASE MOD

Extreme Cooling

put some heavy duty fans on it too, you wont hear them since they'll be enclosed in the nicely insulated refidgerator. You can keep beer/Mountain Dew inside too
Plus it'll be cool to show your freinds this AWESOME CASE MOD. Kinda freak them out when you open the 'fridge to pop a CD in
I guess there are three available options for cooling here. 1 - Active (fans, coolant circulators, Peltiers anything else?)....2 Passive (fin type radiators, coolant circulators)... and 3 -Mixed solutions (passive + active when using intensive CPU)... It stands to reason that since battery life is always a concern w/ laptops then passive cooling should always be used, and if not sufficient then some active cooling as well. In arid areas (Southwest USA) evaporative air conditioning works very well so an evaporative strategy might work - however you're screwed once you hit the east coast i.e. Washington DC.... My low tech solution is obvious...use a readly available heat sink that is non-toxic, cheap, easy to obtain....ICE WATER You can get it anywhere you go (airplanes/7-11s, etc) - just add a temp sensor to your laptop to indicate when you need to build up some coolant reserves.. It shouldn't take that much engineering to isolate any condensation problems..
Red Hat,like all companies, needs to make money - so you can't blame them. However this is a very short sighted tactic that will be bad for them and Linux in the long run. Stealing marketshare from other *nix distributions shows poor judgement, eventhough they seem to be your main competitor.
In order to gain marketshare, Linux must acquire NEW users, and avoid infighting. Having 3 or 4 distribs or 2 or more desktops is the best way to promote competition and to ensure fitness. We must promote ourselves...Why? - because more people using Linux = more people writing/improving software. The main reason I see that people don't switch to Linux is that they're scared to try it and screw up their system. Just show someone your desktop!!!!! Use it in front of them Let them play around on it..Install it on one of their old computers that they don't use. Linux isn't hard it's just different...

Whay happens when there's a cloudy day on earth - which is more often than not... Anyway - some of that energy will leak into the atmosphere and will result in heating of it. Other problems - How about jets trying to avoid the wandering microwave beam paths - unless we we can somehow narrow down the beam to an incredibly tight small area. This seems unlikely to be able to get this sort of precise control.
I swear we've seen this idea multiple times before on slashdot...
Or am I mistaken... Soldiers will still need light to hit their eyes to be able to see.. I guess a pair of floating eyes won't raise too much suspicion.
What about infrared? Soldiers will still glow in that region.
Jumping 20 ft with some sort of exoskeleton still seems unlikely to me - remember, the landing deceleration won't be too much different than jumping off a 20 ft building without any exoskeleton (that hurts!). It just doesn't seem plausible. The only thing useful I could see an exoskeleton useful for would be to lift/cary heavy loads. Any other ideas?
Instead of opinions and having a bunch of "experts" tell us which one looks better, we need a randomized study to see which method people really prefer!
Otherwise we're just like the guys around the water fountain debating which football team will win
Have you ever put some weird things in other peoples shopping carts when they're not looking?
"WTF! - pickled pigs feet!?"...So I can imagine that people might wind up paying for stuff that they didn't want (Little kid chucks stuff into the cart, etc..)
I imagine thermal output will have to be looked at closely - since your drives/cards will be much closer than they ever were to that nice new fast and HOT AMD chip. Of course your CPU fan could probably serve to cool the whole system if done right.
If this is going to catvh on it'll have to be standardized - kinda like car stereos - otherwise various sound cards and/or video cards and wires are gonna hit each other.
One last thing - working on these motherboards/systems is gonna be like working on modern cars as opposed to 1970's muscle cars where you could almost sit inside the hood as opposed to today where you almost have to be Plasticman or Mr. Fantastic..
The trilogy enjoyed a resurgence in th 70's and the movie will give it another boost into the limelight again. I hope that this will always be a popular novel - a gateway into reading sci-fi/fantasy for many people. I gave it to my nephew and now he can't get enough of it.
Most likely DNA would not be used by a extra-terrestrial life form. The biochemical combinations are too infinite to suggest a similar chance evolution. ature is econommical and I do bet that many concepts / principlas will be similar ( acid/base potentials, carbon / water based, high energy chemical bonds for energy storage, etc). Of course this depends on the fact that the environmental conditions will allow for water to exist. An entirely new concept (non-water baed, etc) is likely - it's just too complex to guess....
This might catch on, for a couple of reasons
-placing IV lines in overly-nutrified people (ie. obese).
-hitting abscesses to drain and/or culture them in our lovely skin-popping junky population.
But other than that, most surgeons (me) and radiologist have developed accurate visual-spatial skills so that we can translate what we see in the remote monitor to what we are doing with our hands. I'm pretty sure that the veins present on the ultrasound image of that guys hand would easily be visable with my naked eyes or palpable (ie using my fingers to feel where it is) easily.
Ultrasound currently only has several uses in most hospital settings - looking at fetuses, looking for blood clots, gall bladders and a couple of other things. The information gained is usually poor at best - limited by the poor-quality information that is inherant in an ultrasound image. For things that really matter a CT or MRI is used.
Probably my favorite author and still very young. While not at the grandmaster level of Asimov, Heinlen or Herbert, he will probably reach that level. I would like to see more books by him, but only at their contined level of excellence
It will probably be saved on your drive in an encrypted form..keeps track of your system clock or downloads a key from the host site, or they keep track of your net address or multiple keys throughout the movie tied to the date.
I dunno, but;
1. they're not stupid
2. This is probably a beta test for their encryption scheme.
3. if it gets hacked, then don't expect alot of future movies...

If you have the bad enough taste to play Celine Dion in your computer it sounds appropriate to me that your computer would respond in such a manner..

I actually hand scrub my bathroom about once a month or so and wash the shower curtain in the washing machine every month or two.
as they said in Stripes
"LIGHTEN UP!"
My own research suggests that the likelyhood of the shower curtain being attracted to your skin is directly proportional to the amout of scum on it.
