A spathiphylum is good. Just remember to give the leaves a wipe with a damp cloth every so often. And to fertilise occasionally. Another option is african violets. Just don't put water on the leaves; mist underneath them. thats al i can think of right now.
As a prosthetist/orthotist, I think this would be useful for realtime viewing and testing of soft tissue injuries. From the description given it would allow manipulation and viewing to occur at the same time, and hence allow for possible viewing of rupture of joint capsules, or other pathologies where a MRI may be too cost prohibitive.
But time will tell how clinically useful this device is. If more people could develop realtime 3D medical imaging, it might allow further quantification of clinical skills.

I have always wondered why seemingly intelligent people do not understand the benefits of deoderant.
Geeks wonder why normals don't like being near them...It's cause they friggin stink!!
Every time I go to a LAN party or computer swapmeet, I just want to put tape on the top(so they are held de-pressed) of a few deoderant cans and throw them around the room like tear gas canisters.
If only they made deoderant cans that would fit a riot gun.....
When it is made smaller and voice enabled, and can handle being submerged and knocked around(milspec) then I will get excited.
Can I wear it on my wrist? Can it give me altitude? Temperature? Magnetic North? GPS?
Can it tell me my heartrate? Can I tell it to take a message, and have it converted into text? Can it seamlessly connect to another computer and synchronise all the info? Will it be a take anywhere computer that allows me to analyse data or even act as a log wherever I go?
A mix between the SUUNTO wristtop computers, and the onhandpc(www.onhandpc.com)would be nice.
Serenity is more than just quiet or silence. Ever looked at a desert or a snow covered plain, and noticed the stillness?
Either way, the serenity is a poor reference to "The Castle" an Australian movie that , as far as I remember, didn't do too well in the US, but did very well here.
The moon should be treated the same way as Antarctica. There is a general agreement between all parties that set up a station there as to borders and the regulations.
There would be a foundation to organise limits and rules for mining and also apply penalties to governments that do adhere to the regulations.
But in the same sense, should we treat the moon as a unique habitat? Would it require wilderness protection?
I know I would like to go there and enjoy the serenity.
Sorry, I was talking about the thickness of the drive, not the width. I just got lazy and referred to the earlier subrant rather than finish the sentence properly.
For god sakes you just included some very nice screen kit, but then asked for a 2.5" hard drive?
How is the size of an A4 piece of paper easy to carry? That is going to be at least the thickness of 2.5"(see annoyance above).
What he has described offers a laptop without a proper keyboard. It hasn't stopped my need to carry a phone, a palm, my wallet, keys etc.
Do you own a PDA let alone a HPC?
How much do you carry around with you?
At times I carry my Palm, 2 phones, wallet and keys. Why would I want to carry around any more crap, in particular a retarded laptop?
People seem to forget that nearly anything can be used as a weapon. If it is an object/idea/construct and it is able to manipulated/used by a human being then it can be a weapon. It could also save a life. It is all about intent. Stopping intent, means to change people; not limit tools.
This is similar to the "things" don't kill people, people kill people.
Look at the objects in the room you are currently in. With a bit of lateral thinking, creativity and determination, there are numerous objects that can be used to kill or save people.
Eg -
Ball point pen
Kill- perforation of jugular vein
Save- perform emergency tracheotomy
Hammer
Kill- trauma to skull
Save- Placement of internal fixation
Computer
Kill- Arrange for activation of terrorist cell
Save- Intercepting said comms
The examples go on (Just watch some MacGyver:)
My point is that it is both the high tech and low tech that must be guarded against, as the true strength of humans is their creativity and determination.
This may sound strange, but a very similar thing occurs/occured with myself and my brother at our ancestral home.
Our house was built by my great grandfather. Only our family has ever lived in the house. When my grandfather died, he kept on appearing and was seen by my mother father and grandmother. Apparently he was waiting for my grandmother.
There have been numerous times when growing up that my brother and I saw strange things. One night my brothers bed was lifted three feet in the air and just stayed there. Other times the doors of the wardrobe would open(even when I locked it explicitly before bed).
The common one was, at night, you could hear someone walking around the house.
This sometimes scared the shit out of my brother and I, but when we told our parents, they said we have nothing to worry about, and that nothing bad will happen.
One day my brother and I were alone, and we heard music coming from over at the shed(we live on a farm). The music sounded like choir music, so I went over to investigate. When I got there, I turned around and the music/singing was actually coming from the house. That is when my brother started screaming about a big blue light on the verandah at the front of house. Then the music stopped.
Other occasions included seeing blue lights on the top of a nearby hill on our property. When I asked my parents about it, they said that they've seen them before as well.
The scariest shit that happened to me was waking up one time and feeling the presence of some one in my room(and an intense cold), and then I heard chanting and then a feeling of warmth and security return. But as the room changed I heard a voice say "I'll have you yet!!"(THis scared the fuck out of me, but I trust in our family)
After that people always said that my room felt strange. A couple of people said that it felt very safe.
I don't know what it is, but my family has a Welsh and Irish background. We are not religous or superstitious, but accept what we see/hear/smell/taste/touch and feel. I have tried to give a rational explanation(as I hate hippy crap!!), but can only accept our heritage and go with it for the moment. Other parts of the family have rumored about Gifts, but all them run along regular folk lines. Ie my parents can waterdivine(backed up by later geological surveys), other family members get glimpses of the future(freaky, freaky shit).
You may be more sensitve, due to your family. Your sister may be freaked out because she may be more receptive.(My sister has a hard time sleeping and is plagued by nightmares).
I think you are also confusing the two scales used to rate the power of an earthquake.
The richter scale is used for the intensity, whereas the other scale(i think it is called mohs?) is used for the damage caused by the earthquake for the area.
This can be seen when an earthquake occurs in an area that does not have many earthquakes. Because the buildings aren't earthquake resistant, and people don't have contingency plans the actual damage to property and life is gretaer.(ie high on moh, low on richter).
The opposite can occur in earthquake resistant areas, where buildings are made to survive earthquakes, and children are trained for earthquake procedures.(ie high on richter, low on moh)
It has been years since I studied geology, but as far I remember, thats how it works.
It is grounded.
The RS232 port's ground is also connected to system ground.
Not to mention the outer part of the db9 connector is connected to chassis ground of the case in turn connected to power ground.
They could just make sure that the ground of the serial port is 0V, and connect that to chassis ground.

Thank-freakin-god!!
Finally we get the technology that the new millenium deserves.
It has taken so long to get those flying cars!!!
Now for my three course meal in pill form...

thats al i can think of right now.
I believe the early kinematograph was called a zoetrope, though i am not sure.
How was this groundbreakingly different, and what did it offer over any other PDAs.
Any product that tries to cash in on the "Linux is cool" will find that people are looking for substance, not gimmicks.
I doubt there were many people that considered it a serious player in the world of PDAs.
I am not saying this to start trouble, I believe it just needs to be said.
I'll take your word for it, and say I stand corrected :)
This is actually from an O'Reilly book, "Programming Embedded Systems in C and C++" by Michael Barr.
Just so you know....

Check out

I would like to get one of these if it wasn't so damn expensive!!
US $299, ie AUS$600+
That is some friggin dough for a cool watch....
I wonder if they'll swap it for a family member.
Sorry, I was talking about the thickness of the drive, not the width. I just got lazy and referred to the earlier subrant rather than finish the sentence properly.
I will be more dutiful next time.

What's next?
Battlemechs with paintball markers?
I friggin hope so....

2.5" IDE to keep weight down

Just thought you might find this interesting....
Actually a lot of the bodies of fire extinguishers are made out of aluminium....
Now lets see if this is how it goes
, qu artz,topaz,corundum,diamond.
talc,gypsum,calcite,fluorite,apatite,orthoclase
maybe.
Was Moh(hardness scale) the same as Mohorovic(sp?)(thermal gradient)?
High school was such a long time ago...
Thats it.
Not mohs.
What was I thinking.....
I think I will go drink some more

How much are you willing to fund this dream?
I am studying Prosthetics/Orthotics(3rd year), and Electronic eng(2nd year) which continues onto the Masters of Biomedical Eng.
My goal is to blur the lines between human and machine even further.
In a few years I will need serious funding.
Now, how much do you want this dream to come true?
Very impressive indeed.
But if possible, could the posts include a conversion into metric.
Its just it takes me a little while to do the conversion on my slide rule.
I am sure the rest of the civilised world(ie SI unit using countries) can understand.
Thankyou.
