Incidentally, for those trying to imagine 225 grams -- look at a can of beverage. One beverage can near me says 355mL, which is 355 grams of water. So 225 grams is about 2/3 of a can.
(Subtract the weight of the can, and use water not sugar-sweetened beverage because the dissolved sugar adds weight)
I want flexibility. I have a Sharp PDA that I got as a gift. There are about three software modules I could install, none of which are worth the trouble. Sharp chose to not make the SDK as easily available as the Palm SDK is. A Linux PDA will let me use my Linux skills to adjust it to my needs. Even better than browsing among the wide array of Palm applications.
More importantly, I'll be able to adjust my MiniSec to do the odd things which I need. If I need a serial/network analyzer I can load one in. If I want my MP3 player to remember a commercial from the radio program which I recorded last night, I can make it do that.
They opened a pile of source code at the same time they're giving away copies of QNX because they know the combination of the two will make life easier for many developers, and QNX will end up in more products.
Their older information was just vague promises of being open, and get.qnx.com was a teaser which did not mention their source code opening up. It wasn't until the day get.qnx.com started that they announced their new source code policy.
You could check if the 3ware.com disk controller will work with removable media. It does RAID on multiple IDE drives, with separate IDE channels to each drive. It was in the Linux area at COMDEX.
On a related note, the NASA COSMIC software library has been missing for well over a year. Anyone know of an archive or what happened to that? The NTTC hasn't been successful yet with whatever they have.
(Readers of "Lucifer's Hammer" may remember that a copy of COSMIC was one of the treasures which was mentioned)
We enjoyed a Moog in an "Electronic Music" course in college. On the fifth class, the professor told us to make a descending whistle which would move to a different corner of the room on each play. He went to his office while we wired it up.
He got twenty feet down the hall before he heard it playing, and came back in the room to find four of us taking turns whistling while trying not to laugh until he got in the room.
As a computer science major who knew how to do the logic needed for such tasks, I did have the desired effect really running in a few minutes. It turns out that if you reverse it, an ascending tone spinning around the room gives an interesting rocket-elevator effect... Or maybe that's just due to training by the WCCO "Foshay Tower" weather center sound effect...
Well, the Nokia 8890 does say it is GSM 900/1900. I didn't look at all the models -- Nokia makes many combinations, including an analog attachment (NAM-1 or NRM-1?) that snaps on the battery holder of some models. Also consider a $30 RangeStar clip-on antenna for a signal boost in weak areas.
The reasons I chose Nokia are the interface options and Linux interface (although I almost didn't because of Nokia not supporting Linux well).
There also is a Nokia Card Phone, a PC Card with a GSM phone, although I don't know what it supports.
Hold on here. If there was a microwave RF problem, we'd know it.
We've all made coasters in the microwave oven out of AOL CDs, right? If a computer was creating significant amounts of RF, we'd be seeing the same sparks crawling around various metal components.
Obviously, computer designers would have to block any such leakage or all the electronics would be destroyed.
Sometimes it only takes something simple. They mentioned iodine deficiency once. But that's solved with iodized salt or oil. Because of that, it's rare in industrialized countries where iodization began in the early 1900s.
For that matter, this New Scientist article caught my eye. This research shows that sperm count decrease may be simply due to iodized salt. What really caught my attention was the mention that iodine deficiency causes smaller brains. We may be smarter than our ancestors 80 years ago.
So until the 1920s, perhaps half of the world population was less intelligent than now. Is it a coincidence that as the first iodized generation suffused society we had many fields boom in the 1960s?
And people expect when they want to move to something in a higher orbit they should accelerate toward it or in the same direction as their present orbit...
No, analog instruments fail also. This AOPA.Org article mentions about 40 aircraft accidents involving vacuum pump problems, causing problems for instruments.
Well, feel free to use as little of your brain as you wish. Please keep the distance between us in direct ratio to the percentage which you are using.
In the decades since that 10% number appeared, a few more things have been learned:
Children have many more neurons than their brains tend to have later. Many neurons die during childhood. So 10% measured when? And before or after they're organized to become more "efficient"?
New neurons are being constantly created, even in adults humans. So any measurement is temporary, as we don't know what parts of the brain may become activated by new connections and learning.
While awake, every vertebrate brain uses energy faster than the bloodstream can deliver it. Your brain functions differently when it starts running low of energy -- things start malfunctioning and different parts of the brain activate to try to compensate.

You plug in headphones which are as large as you want. Unless you use refrigerator-sized speakers with your portable audio devices...
August was mentioned in yopi.org, so perhaps their fiscal year starts in April and August is in their second quarter.

One has to mention Walter Carlos or one cannot find his professional credits. Such as the music credit in "A Clockwork Orange". Or an LP on eBay.

Carrots are safer now than in 1820. Everyone who ate carrots in 1820 is dead. Obviously an extremely bad year for carrots.

The heat from that laptop is stressing your skin more than any RF...
However, US iodine deficiency has quadrupled to 12%. Are people who are "eating healthy" by avoiding salt causing a problem?
For that matter, this New Scientist article caught my eye. This research shows that sperm count decrease may be simply due to iodized salt. What really caught my attention was the mention that iodine deficiency causes smaller brains. We may be smarter than our ancestors 80 years ago.
I knew that iodine is added to salt to prevent goiter, but had missed the medical knowledge that it also prevents cretinism. Iodine is needed for proper brain development. The high incidence (17-60%) of goiter in affected areas indicates the level of the problem (still 43 million people).
So until the 1920s, perhaps half of the world population was less intelligent than now. Is it a coincidence that as the first iodized generation suffused society we had many fields boom in the 1960s?
But the only thing which definitely reduces population growth rates is education. You need smart people to get fewer of them.
You forgot to mention how lower intelligence is caused by "social inequalities, poor efforts from the local government, and ... racial disparities".
Or if you drop Beowulf in the game, he will fall in a realistic manner?

Well, if you can find where NASA's COSMIC library went then you can run it...
Um.. One shuttle was removed from the fleet. You have to subtract its flights from the total before you divide by the size of the fleet.
