Luckily it doesn’t matter much. It’s not about what we can access. (There is a much better interface to that, called speech!;) It’s about plain interfacing. With feedback. And in that matter, the brain can without any trouble reconfigure itself (=training/learning) to do whatever you want. It’s what you do all day long anyway.
Sorry for trotting this out again, but why do we need to use the brain if it's about interfacing and feedback rather than access? Surely a less invasive place (e.g. arm, leg) would be just as effective, and less likely to cause problems.
Oh, BTW, when did sigs stop appearing for non-registered users?
at least in that comic, he's asking for an arm implant. The body tries its hardest to keep foreign stuff out of the brain (possibly including immune cells, I can't quite remember) -- I'd rather keep it that way.
At Wellington High School, they have been starting the seniors about an hour later for the last few years. It seems to work well, and the students are happier for it.
There are some non-obvious things in there, such as trying things that clearly won't work, if asked to by the programmer:
Somebody reported a bug to me once, and I asked him to try a command that I knew wouldn't work. The reason I asked him to try it was that I wanted to know which of two different error messages it would give. Knowing which error message came back would give a vital clue. But he didn't actually try it - he just mailed me back and said "No, that won't work". It took me some time to persuade him to try it for real.
if they have physical access to the computer (in order to monkey with the power), why would it be considered secure?
You've got me stumped. Perhaps you should ask the companies who make these media players, smartphones, and other devices that use RSA. While you're at it, could you please also ask the same question to the companies who distribute digital files for use on these devices?
Benzene is bad for molecular biology purposes, possibly due to its ability to really mess up DNA. Although you can get to 100% ethanol by distillation with benzene, there's a risk of still getting small amounts of benzene into the mix. It's preferred to use water distillation (which has a maximum ethanol concentration of 95%), and just take that into consideration when doing dilutions.
FWIW, we also had problems with denatured alcohol containing methanol, which was fine for other departments in our lab, so we had to order in our own expensive 95% ethanol.
I still have it, used for adjusting colours in photos at the moment. It's from 1999, but you're close enough.
I prefer my current laptop for resolution though. It's 105dpi, but with sub-pixel rendering in the horizontal direction (effectively tripling the resolution), that's plenty fine for most of the things I do.
I prefer displays where I can't see the damn pixels, it makes it seem like the manufacturer has tried to make viewing a more pleasant experience. I would prefer a 125+dpi display with the same number of pixels over a larger display with fewer pixels.
When all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
I suggest that you consider other languages as well. There are applications for which Java is a poor fit -- something that comes quickly to my mind is matrix manipulation. An understanding of what programming languages are appropriate for particular applications can be quite useful.
This sounds like something I remember a flatmate talking about previously; there is a free software program that did this. You took a few low-resolution pictures, ran them through the program, and got out a high resolution image. The same can be done with a video (as the low-resolution pictures).
I can't recall the name of the program, will have a hunt for it.
I'd like to be able to claim an earlier Denial of Service, but unfortunately that was a tiny bit before my cells started dividing. 1974 would mean I'd be about -8 at the time.

I'm not particularly keen on the idea of using skin cells for this. Sure, they're readily accessible (not very invasive), but skin cells are really close to the surface of the body (or at the surface of the body), and therefore really close to environmental influences. They die frequently (a fair amount of the dust in your house is dead skin cells), and are exposed to many things that can cause genetic mutations, sunlight probably being the biggest thing. If I had to regenerate neurons from other body cells, I'd rather something that was a bit more internal and reasonably far away from damaging sources (liver, for example).
FWIW, privacy is about the control of information flow in particular contexts.
Secrecy: Avoiding taking pictures of yourself, or deleting them off the memory card before they're uploaded to a computer. Privacy: Sharing photos on facebook, setting limits on who can view them.
People can [usually] breach the rules of privacy easily by copying information once it has been provided to them. Making things secret means they were never transferred in the first place.
So in the new model, temperature differences in the space around the sun, 4.6 billion years ago, caused Earth to migrate outward as much as gravity was trying to pull it inward
Or, perhaps, gravity could be a consequence of temperature differences, so the "pull" and the "push" don't really happen.

Here's some advice that I find useful when reporting bugs:

as long as you stick to the Ubuntu repos, as is heavily advised and encouraged on all Linux distributions.
I think using Ubuntu repositories on a Gentoo box would be discouraged.
But I guess your post can also be parsed in a different way (if you ignore the bits between the commas):

Together, those account for less than 10% of the nation. That rounds down to zero as far as I'm concerned.
Auckland has a land area less than 1% of the nation. That rounds down to zero as far as I'm concerned.

Just bind to ffmpeg/ffdshow/CoreVideo. They all support H.264, and your responsibility is zero.
And lose all the extra optimisation and swish features that are only possible for a decoder they have full control over.
Except if you read through the link you provided, it says it does work for an electric fence, but not for the third rail of a subway:
