Fry: [discussing Fry being his own grandfather as a result of going back in time and getting with his grandmother] I did do the nasty in the past-y. Nibbler: Verily. And that past nastification is what shields you from the brains!
This achievement was accomplished by combining two previously successful structure types: the upper part of a 9212/2212C and the lower part of a 1223. The chemical elements remain the same as those used in the 242K material announced in May 2009. The host compound has the formula (Tl4Ba)Ba2Ca2Cu7Oy and is believed to attain 254K superconductivity when a 9223 structure forms
Ok. I now physics and chemistry. But WHAT? Those numbers make no sense, and is about the most useless quote ever quoted on slashdot. And that's saying something.
What about using the network of cameras to commit crimes? By being on communication with someone watching the feed, you can be instructed on how to hide your illegal activities. All you need is a bluetooth headset.
"There is a large crowd around the hot dog stand, blend in there." "Camera is panning away.. go NOW" "Camera is focused on garbage can." "The camera is panning to you, face away" "The cops are approaching on Mulberry Street, use Stockton to get out!"
Its already done Now "roof area" is for a house, to cut that down a bit. A 10' long car has about 30 sq feet of hood and roof. But when comparing to gasoline, be sure to factor in that IBEs are inefficent and your eletric motors will do more for your energy.
I'm not saying you can power the car this way, only that it would help with driving enjoyment.
I can design a completely solar car which will go to infinity before it needs a recharge. The only problem is it travels along at a 1kmph. So mileage isn't the only issue, "fun to drive" is a factor as well. For instance, my M3 gets about 19MPG. Extremely fun to drive. But when I'm low on gas and far from a station, I can hyper-mile it, and according to my computer if I drive that way all the time, I'd get another 33-40!% out of a tank. But hyper-miling is not fun.
The only way an EV will be fun is if it adds solar and has efficient reclamation so as to provide fast acceleration at minimal cost.
Mod parent insightful, not funny.
Seriously though, Buddhism used the swastika (usually a mirror image though) . This was done up until Germany rendered it a vile symbol. Before that it meant good fortune and other positive things. Men give these symbols meaning. The geometry is indifferent.
As the German tour guide on a Family Guy episode quipped, "it didn't happen" I think they'd rather bury the embarrassing past. Of course, this reeks of 1984 Newspeak. If it is hate crime legislation, then it should only be limited tothe intersection of hate and crimes, neither of which is happening. So I have to conclude that its the Newspeak deal.
Without thoughts from consciousness to get the the way, you'd have access to them at a basic processing level. You could train them that a touch somewhere means one thing and to react some way to it. Then train them to react another way, to a different stimulus. Then take another person in a similar situation and plug him into the other person so that he can present stimulus in reaction to the other guys reaction. Each stimulus can be seen as a wire, or bit. The reaction can also be seen as a wire or bit. Plug enough people together, and you could create a simple adder. , where X + Y is (X1 XOR Y1) =Z1 and is (X1 AND Y2) = Z2. You then have a simple 1-bit adder. Defining 4 stimuli, one for each combination of X and Y, can produce a different conditioned reflex. You can then have his reaction be fed to another person (or back to himself) to perform operation for the next bits (X2 + Y2 + Z2)
At a more abstract level, you could ask the mind to perform a more complex calculation and provide intuitive results. The brain would use its already-available knowledge The problem here is presenting the question, which is a non trivial barrier.
But if we go back to the fundamental bit math, if we ask them to preform repeated calculations, I theorize that any consciousness will interfere and your error rate will be large. The question is then, how can you tell it from someone who is voluntarily following the pattern? That would be indicated by a large stddev in the response time, particularly around other stimulus. (Larger signal to noise ratio) If ti is a reflex, it should have a tigher timing benchmark, as it won't be in competition with other thoughts in the brain.
This isn't cognition, but rather reflexive. The brain is an organic computer and it is supreme at pattern recognition. This would be only a tad higher than keeping the heart beating and other involuntary actions. Just because it is conditioned doesn't mean there is precognition or reasoning.
I would tastelessly posit that you could program someone (or multiple someones) to preform a rudimentary calculation. If true, then we would have actual wet-ware to program. The question is then, what is the longest program you could condition someone into? We might be able to beat the NP-complete barrier with wetware.
Well as a native and current Baltimoron, I don't discount your account. I was hoping to be modded funny. But anyway, yes, it would have been very embarrassing for the capitol of the Union to be residing in a confederate state. It is said that Maryland wasn't given much choice in the matter on what side to be on.
But lets be honest, everyone traveling through Baltimore gets fired on. A tradition we carry through with even today.
Except that those requests are I/O bound, and therefore are in a blocking-wait and not scheduled by the OS. How many processes are actually in a run state? Not many most of the time. I am lucky if I have two. But having greater than 1 instruction pipeline does wonders for responsiveness. Look even at hyper-threading. Did a great job for responsiveness, even with only one CPU.
It is very simple: By using an initially soft substance, it adsorbs some implulse (shock) while molding to the proper shape to distribute the shear forces over the greatest area. It is like a custom-made bike helmet that forms for the particular impact. The greater and more evenly you distribute the impact, the greater chance all your components will survive.
You can make your own non-Newtonian fluid with corn starch and water. It'll flow through your fingers slowly and when you hit it, the long chain starch molecules interlock making it hard. It was also on Mythbusters. Play with it and see what you think.
I was very attentive until I got my first DVR back in 2001. The ability to back right up while watching TV creeped in, and has only gotten worse. I now expect that I can backup the radio, and even face-to-face. My mind wanders constantly now. Before it was small thoughts, but last night I had to back up Weeds twice for 2-3 minute segments.

Surely we can get more than that!

Oddly enough the attached rhinestones have the same affect as the LEDs.
Nah, its just that everyone is doing it but you.
The next thing you know, they are going to blame the neo-Nazis for all the nation's problems, then round up all the into camps...
If only intolerance wasn't so rich with irony!
We have to realize that on average, people are stupid. Ignore those. Cherish the rest. Hate none of them.
It was ruined long before that, my friend.

Erret Callahan would beg to differ

I can assure you Baltimore is not a state.

Or TV/people are just getting more boring and my idle musings are filling the gap.
