the kill radius is 5M for a 50% probability of kill with 40mm grenades, but that doesn't mean that getting hit by shrapnel when your 50M away is impossible or wouldn't hurt like hell if it didn't kill you outright.
We vote to give you the privilege of pushing the button up close and personal and as a reward, when you get to the promised land, you can download 72 songs from Itunes free of charge.
It tells me the press is far more fascinated with making the party of tolerance and fiscal responsibility (D) seem hypocritical than in telling the truth about the "daddy" party (R), which has proven it will say and spend our children's future away to get votes. Actually if you check your history, you'll find that the parties have flip-flopped on those issues several times. The Dems Social programs will not do much to rein in the current runaway spending, fiscal responsibility used to be the republican war-cry before the Bushes. Bush Sr. just had to keep on doing what Reagan started and we'd be in real good shape, instead he made things bad, and his son made things worse. Clinton was too ineffectual too make any change for the better or worse.
But they don't, there are cars available in Europe right know that get 75-80 MPG (that's real world too) but we can't get them here because they are diesels and don't pass California emissions tests.
Perhaps it something more like what GIYUS uses. This software allows them to generate cyber-flashcrouds easily, which makes their agenda appear mainstream rather than minority. Using combinations of RSS, Instant-messagers and email, you can direct the actions of thousands or even millions effortlessly.
well yeah, we all watch movies and the cars always catch fire in the movies and TV. Isn't that where people learn about important stuff like first aid and global warming from?
The victim had a traumatic avulsion of one of his digits, that means an open artery and people with open arteries can bleed out scary fast, even from a finger or fingers in this case. Yes it's probable the victim would have regained his wits and preformed life-saving self-aid, but surely someone had to and in this case it was a first responder that learned first-aid in a training game. A better account of what happened is in the forums at America's Army.
Too bad people can sue you for anything these days... and win. No usually what happens is when it clear that the plaintiff is going to win, the defendant offers a deal for pretty much what they are asking for in damages paid through an annuity, but they have to sign an non-disclosure agreement and seal the case. After that the defendant spins the press releases to make the case and plaintiff look ridiculous and the plaintiff can't defend themselves due to the NDA. The media tends to eat this up because they can publish the press release and change a few things to make it look like they wrote it pretty effortlessly.
whether the game makes you more likely to do something you wouldn't do otherwise. Most people get pretty wigged out when they see a catastrophic injury and freeze, if playing the game means when the brain freezes and goes on autopilot and they give appropriate first aid it's a good thing.
It's not that "dark" they're running a RTTY signal around 137.5 KHz that might be SCADA leaking from power lines into the air. That might also mean that signals can be injected into the power-lines as well
it's not that hard to setup a ftp mirror in the DMZ for distro updating, it would even give you a chance to run stuff in a sandbox for a while to help insure you don't bork your systems with an update your application isn't compatible with.
I think your wrong, I think the CIA didn't do it, and they know the KGB and the Brits and the Israelis didn't do it and they are a little freaked out about it. If they could point a finger at the Russian Mafia, or the Arab Terrorists, or any of the other usual unfriendly operators, they'd be signing it from the roof tops. They don't have a clue and are worried.
I could see maybe having a website that reported the plant status, or a java applet that displayed in real time, so he could call them on the phone for a talk but I don't think any plant operator would stand for someone off-site changing the operating parameters of a multi-billion dollar power-station he was legally responsible for.
mostly they use an out-of-bands, according to Bruce Parens they frequntly use RF signals over the powerlines!
It has historically operated over a primitive form of "BPL", analog or digital control signals transmitted over long-haul power lines, generally using a low-frequency signal. In Northern California, we can hear a RTTY signal around 137.5 KHz that might be SCADA leaking from power lines into the air, and the power companies have opposed the allocation of a ham frequency in that band becuase they claim it could interfere with SCADA.

I've also gotten the impression that this is something that the CIA themselves may have done on other occasions.
so if your PHB clicked the button as instructed and entered in the password as given by the help-desk and the application tunneled out instead would that be OK?
I took Econ with a couple guys from DTE's Belle River Power Plant and they told me that 2 out of 3 shifts normally there are only two or three people on site, everything is automated; so there may not be anybody to call.
I remember that once just as I was about to click submit on one of my slashdot posts, the power went out, not just in my house but the whole North-East power-grid went down and for 3 days. Most of the last-mile sides of the internet fell flat on their faces, no cable modem from Comcast! The only thing that stayed up was the telephone.
It might have some utility for detecting the level of fear/alarm present in a population present in an area, but I can see it working on an individual basis for picking out people at customs or a military check point. Ever watch the guy from the gas company trying to locate a gas leak with a meter? My guess is the real bad-guys(Tm) would just pop an Inderal or other beta-blocker and be good to go anyways.
This has what to do with the topic being discussed? The above situation might be good for harvesting fear/alarm pheromones, but what they are talking about is exposing opposing combatants to the fear/alarm pheromone so that they would become fearful. Even if it works, I don't think it will work like they expect because combatants are generally alarmed and fearful anyways
"Is it reasonable to assume that there even is a fear scent in humans?". Pheromones seem to be present in Humans, they also seem to be vestigial in most. In studies the result seem to be positive, yet not uniformly reproducible and frequently not able to produce statistically significants in all environments. So basically if this works at all, it's effects will be spotty and out of the few it effect, half with turn into balls of jelly and the other half will go into a berserker rage.
The first thing I thought of was how cool reducing or increasing atmospheric effects as a player progressed which would increase visual acuity or causing tunnel-vision every time you got hit or pulled too many G's.
The fallacy of nano-technology will always be the "processor", CPU's have 45 nanometer traces now and sometimes the electrons just barrel through the switches because they are too small to be seen (Quantum tunneling)! Shrinking them more will just mean the a calculation will have to be repeated several times to get reliable answers; we call them binary digits a 1 or a 0, but right now we are really at trinary digits, a 1, a 0 and a maybe

I don't know either, but it's not original; it does tend to cause one to be a little less likely to engage ad hominem attacks.
this is the same CIA that found weapons of mass destruction in iraq...
how you define mass?
