Transdermal Nutrient Delivery System (TDNDS) What It Is:
During short periods of high intensity conflict, soldiers may not have access to a real meal or the time to eat it. The Transdermal Nutrient Delivery System (TDNDS) is a nutrition patch that will transmit vitamins and other micronutrients or nutraceuticals to the warfighters and sustain their physical and mental performance. Why It's Needed: Future warfighters may spend substantial amounts of time encapsulated in protective garments or in vehicles with limited access to normal meals. Replenishment of some of the most bioactive nutrients found in foods is needed, using a method that's controllable and minimally invasive. How It Works: A smart delivery system will conceivably expand on similar technology used in the nicotine patch; however, instead of transmitting nicotine, the TDNDS will serve as a reservoir of micronutrients and nutraceuticals. Advances in nutritional sciences, miniaturized physiological monitors and molecular delivery will be exploited. One potential means of transmitting nutrients would work like this: Sensors would first take readings on a warfighter's metabolism, then send information about the soldier's nutritional needs to a microchip processor. This processor might activate a microelectrical mechanical system that transmits the micronutrients -- either through skin pores or pumped directly into blood capillaries.
Benefits: Improved Performance...Nutraceuticals transmitted by the TDNDS could reduce combat-related stress, such as muscle fatigue and the physical problems that accompany prolonged exposure to cold weather and high altitudes and conceivably signal a soldier's brain that he still has nutrient reserves to draw upon.
Civilian Applications...This delivery system could meet the nutritional needs of workers in stressful, hazardous work environments -- such as miners, oil riggers, firefighters, chemical production workers, police bomb squad members and astronauts involved in space walks.
Cut the power to all those schools the day Microsoft wants to do an audit. It will be summer anyway, no kids will be there. I'd love to see how Microsoft would deal with that.
Sustaining the B-52 was not the military's first choice. Until very recently, the Air Force wanted to have enough B-1s and then enough B-2s produced to allow it to retire the B-52. When Congress wouldn't provide the money, the Air Force was left with little choice but to re-embrace the B-52.
The B-52 may be good, but it's way too old. It's disturbing that the government won't spend a few extra dollars to protect us. They're too busy wasting money on other things. Before September 11th, congress also didn't care about the threat of terrorism, now they know we should be better prepared. What happens if we go to war with China or North Korea? We'll wish we had stealthier bombers as our huge chunks of metal are falling out of the sky.
God forbid a company try to fight a ruling against them. Hell, why should someone on death row ever appeal anything? Come on people, they have just as much right to appeal these decisions as we do.
If I have 500 clones running around, all looking the same with the same DNA, how do you identify which one committed a crime? There would be some wierd ass identity issues.
first of all, all but 1 of my classes has had their course material on the web. secondly, professors dont need to update a damned thing, that's what lowly masters students and TAs have to do. students won't grow mad at websites that arent up to date, and mentioning lawsuits makes you sound even more ridiculous. and lastly, website crap is no substitute for class. and there are PLENTY of computers on campus for minorities to access the web. and anyway, computers arent even expensive anymore, so this shouldnt even be an issue, you could scrounge up a computer capable of using the web for like $50.
why is it normal hard working americans are the ones without time for kids and the trashy single parent welfare mom's are having them all? seems a little backwards dont it?
I think your comment about coaches is stupid and ignorant. Obviously you have never played a sport before. My highschool football coach made it his mission for us to help out the weak and less fortunate. We would especially make a retarded kid (politically correct) feel very welcome and very much a part of the football team. Before you go bashing something you have no idea about, understand that the very insult you tried to make showed you are no better than the jocks in school who picked on you.
If you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd know that both NAND and NOR can implement any form of combinational logic. There is no real advantage over one than the other.
Let's say I want someone dead, I put his name up on a website, one that's known to perhaps bestowe gifts of cash upon the one who just happens to make that person dead. Same shit. This can't be allowed. Next thing you know your geeky little friends who everyone thinks are gonna go on a shooting spree in your school are gonna be listed in a big database on the web. So much for privacy right? But hey, it's free speech for doubleclick to give out your private info, right?
Ever gone to a site with porn banner ads and porn shit that pops up? I certainly have. Besides, I'm assuming this software is supposed to prevent kids that want to find porn from finding it anyway...that's why it's parental controls...
Why do any of you have a problem with this? Alot of you seemed to support V-Chips and shit so parents could control what their children see. This wouldn't block a damned thing out that you wanted to see, it would just give you the tools to try and protect your kids from the nasty disgusting shit (you know it's out there) floating around on the internet. If you don't want to use it, then don't. Stop complaining about giving people who would normally have no idea how to control their children's access online an opportunity to do it.
Sounds to me like this was someone who is selling to someone who will then be selling it to the end consumer. I hope you do understand that whether he bought it off the internet or not he isn't subjected to sales tax. He would be tax exempt and, well, what you're saying is just wrong.
I got 2 saturday detentions in high school for accidentally lighting a trashcan on fire in chemistry class. It's better they learn now that they can't piss people or schools or companies off too bad without expecting a backlash. It's not like they were thrown in jail or expelled or anything, but I think the completely harmless 2 day suspension will at least let make them think a little harder before making fucktheirschool.com websites and shit in the future. My brother got a 10 day suspension in a public high school for quoting some Stephen King in a letter to someone, this kind of shit isn't new, and it's certainly not only found in private schools...and it's not all bad. These were kids doing stupid things, and as such they should be shown it isn't acceptable.
So what exactly is wrong with vouchers? Do the kids going to private schools not pay taxes? Do they not pay for education in those taxes? I think it should be up to their parents what school their kids go to and the taxes paid by the parents for education should go towards their kids. I certainly cannot believe anyone would agree that public schools are at all better than private schools, so why should only rich families be fortunate enough to send their kids to a better school. If it turns out the school is shit, they can always switch to public schools, they aren't locked into anything. All this bullshit about being "forced" to pray in a private school is just that, you don't go to a catholic school unless you expect to pray and learn about catholicsm. Why would you want to restrict people to going to the shittier public schools where they can get their fucking ass beat everyday. Before you start whining about giving people a CHOICE, yes, a CHOICE, they don't HAVE to go to a private school, understand the reality of the situation.
I don't think it's the engineers getting fired, it's the worthless IT people and sysadmins that can be replaced by 10 year olds. I hope now they are starting to realize just how useless they are. All you morons that decided certs were the key and college was for chumps, seeya at school.
You can transmit information wireless with security, which would certainly beat out any kind of wired based security. First of all, with multiple transmitting devices, you can effectively "aim" the signal where you want it to go. You can TRY to gather all the signals around it and you won't be able to find dick. Then if you encrypt that signal as well, noone would have any idea what the hell they're looking at or looking for. With a wire you know exactly what's being transmitted and how, it's obvious shit, but you can do much crazier stuff with wireless signals.
Remember when the commercialization of the web was getting big, and everyone said it sucked and "down with them" and shit. Well, don't let the door hit you in the ass, we don't need sites that shove banner ads in our faces, and we certainly don't need to pay for content. It has brought nothing but trouble, from stupid domain name battles and ridiculous 1-click patents and shit. Get out, you won't be missed.
