I can only assume that most of the finishes will be recorded digitally, along with all of the information collected about speed and time and all of that.
So where will all of the information go when the games are over? Is there going to be a huge online stockpile where we can all go and watch the ultra slow motion finishes, and look up who had the fastest volleyball spike? I know I could spend hours just watching the slow motion cameras they use to record the divers and sprinters.
Anyone else interested? Can you imagine how much data they must be generating with all of these cameras and sensors?
Well, the fundamental process of a derivative is not going to change. The answers in the back of the book might though. I tought a class in college as a graduate instructor, and basically most revisions of textbooks for our course were to correct typos or incorrect answers in the solution section of the book.
SO if you want to save some money, just buy an old copy of the previous edition and make sure you know someone with the updated one so you can check the answers on the problems you are assigned or practicing on.
Many times I have heard of authors publishing corrected solutions or typos online as well, so you can get them free. Or if you are lucky enough to find one and report it you can get a free edition of the book.
I'm goint to register www.Rbot-GR-Pr0n.com and make my millions! Of course this site will only work with Internet Explorer 5.1 and above. Sorry Firefox.
So if a guy with a small package buys a Corvette (or insert favorite sports car here) to compensate for his 'short-comings' does that mean that guys with HUGE johnsons buy Pintos?
Let's be realistic, they could be tracking us without any stupid RFID tags...you do have to show about 5 types if identification when entering the airport, buying the ticket, going through security, and getting on the plane. They know you are there...
Not only could they already know where you're leaving from, and going to, they could also tell what time you bought your ticket!! Oh man, they're tracking us already! (puts on tinfoil hat)
It's too early in the morning I guess. When I read the title of this article, I immediately thought it was indicating that we should test the 'Dna' of incoming emails.
And then I wondered what the BioRythm of an email would be. I need to go back to bed.
I had a friend that used the VR lab at school to make a simulation shooting range/battle arena program. It didn't have great graphics or anything since he was a programmer, and not an artist but it was entirely usable.
You used some kind of wand thing and some goggles and when you had on the goggles you saw a gun in place of the wand, and targets and everything. You could even interact with controls in the virtual environments to bring the targets closer and all of that.
It was pretty fun to play around with, much better developed and more impressive than I can give it credit for since I only played with it breifly.
I can only assume that the govt spent more time and money to make this "futuristic training sim" but if two college students can do something similar in a month, I'm not all that impressed. Don't get me wrong, I am sure it is much more sophisticated than the one I saw, but surely over-priced and over-hyped just the same.
Me commuting to work 70 miles a day, but obeying the speed limit and having a clean driving record.
My grandma drives once a week through a quiet residential neighborhood but swerves erratically, runs stop signs, wrong side of the street, 2 miles to the store and back...
No one is going to win in this situation. We'd probably both get charged more than we do now.
Our current termostat has a timer where you set up when you want it to come on and go off, and how cold to keep it during each period of the day. Is it really worth the risk/pain or having one of these, when 99% of the time you know ahead of time what temp you want to keep your home at?
Now if I can decide what I want to eat for dinner while at work, and tell my refrigerator to coordinate with my oven to get it ready before I get home, that's what I need...
I must admit, going back to school never seemed so great until I found out it came with an iPod!
Really though, if the choice is pay thousands in tuition to get an iPod, or pay nothing and get an iPod then I think I will stick with FREE. (see my sig) The success stories are all over the place, just google it.
So now I can spend 20 minutes out of every hour that I am away from my Tv watching ads just like I do when I am in front of the tv...oh wait I bought a ReplyTv to AVOID watching commercials. Any word on Tivo/Replay for my phone?
The same ads have been on in Michigan as well...they're pretty funny. They make it sound like Michigan's nuclear waste is too dangerous for us...but those Nevada folk should be ok with it.
My idea... I say let them forward all the spam. Set up your account to get all the Yahoo! crap mail, and have it send to a dummy address somewhere else, which in turn will forward it all to whatever the Yahoo! abuse address is. Might be abuse@yahoo.com? I think if everyone did that, and they got tons of abuse messages every time they sent spam, they may not like that too much.:-) Just a thought, something to have fun with.

(at least after seeing the next article's title of 'Biometric E-Passports' I know where my subconcious was getting the second mistake from.)

Just my 2 cents.
Yeah, i figure it should be out on shelves by 2008.
Maybe I can get one of these for my son for christmas. Of course I mean my unborn son, and the christmas of 2008.
Who gets the higher rate?

C'mon we probably all already have 'his email address' just reply to the spam that you get everyday and I am sure he will read it.
I wish we had this when I was in school, it would make a good course, imho
Also, for those with MSDN accounts...I am downloading the Iso right now. The msdn download site is still fast as ever. Enjoy.
Am I first this time?
We have nuclear powered subs, why not have nuclear powered spacecraft? Am I missing something?
