It would definitlely take a lot of training to move your limbs smoothly, but I forgot all about the lack of feeling. That makes the whole thing seem pretty risky. You could break bones without even realizing you'd done it until a limb stops moving properly (or worse the fracture becomes compound).
Although it's only mentioned briefly in the article, I think firing existing muscles would be a lot more natural than robotic or robotic assisted limbs. It would make people feel less awkward in public if they didn't have all of the extra equipment. I guess the muscles would be severely atrophied at first and it would take quite a bit of "working out", but in the long run it seems a lot more natural.
What type of hardware would it take to "fire muscles"? It seems in that case you'd have to run wires to all of the muscles or to the nerve endings connected to the muscles.
That makes sense. By default, the original (Python) one will only try the first 10 ports (and a few of the clients I've tried), but I guess I can see why you might want more.
That Duke link says to open up 6881 thru 6999. Pretty sure that should just be 6881 thru 6889 in case anyone wants to open up their firewall or route their NAT.
The college (University of Texas at Arlington) I went to had a fairly large Vietnamese population. In a somewhat large history class I took (probably 150 people), there were two people with the exact same name. They both had the last name of Nguyen, which is the Vietnamese equivalent of Smith basically.
The professor ended up tacking on the last digit of their SSN whenever he referred to them.
Yeah, the natural disaster type thing is the point. In certain industries, they expect you to write a disaster recovery plan with just such things in it.
But you're right, this is cheaper for some data than RAID.
You're right. Ideally you could make one big backup of the data by hand and then start to do incrementals (assuming the diffs were small enough for your bandwidth).
Currently, couriers get paid too much money to simply enter a data center, swap out a tape, and take the tape to an offsite storage location.

Check out the source code on page 8. Since when is the copyright symbol allowable in Java syntax?
Very good points...

It's all coming back to me now...

I assume this is the Duke University experiment mentioned in the article?
Guys with thousands of career beers have enough problems as it is. Now we're really screwed :).

I think I'll go out and make mod my PC case to look like a Mac...

I'm so gonna score!
When I figured Penn State probably got a pretty good deal on the subscriptions, this was my first thought as well.
It's all about being able to brag to other services and investors etc. about subscription counts.
Ah, the FAQ is out of date then. I should have "used the source" and all that ;).

"I will not vote on any machine that doesn't produce a verifiable paper trail at the time I vote. Neither should you."
I'm not sure boycotting the voting process really acomplishes anything, but I guess you could always move...
Are you talking about the way it used to be?
You can uninstall IE and you can make another browser (Mozilla in my case) the default browser.
The only reason I don't uninstall it is a few sites I am required to use that still use ActiveX controls.
I looked at his various websites, and I could only find a link to his Radical Mormon Site.
There seems to be an author named "Michael Love" who writes some books dealing with Scientologist stuff, but I think it's a different guy.
I could be wrong though...
If CVT stands for continously variable transmission, then the Prius (a Toyota hybrid) does have that.

I agree to some point...
Well, if you want to get technical, if you're not a certified P.E., then some people say you shouldn't call yourself an engineer.
I read it that way as well...
That's ills and idiotic man... ;)
You know what I mean :)

RAID configs that actually allow you to have a disk fail. In other words, not RAID 0...
It's not like I said FAT table

But you're right, this is cheaper for some data than RAID.
See if you can get the sourcecode to TF2 while you're at it. Maybe then it might get released some day...
A redundant RAID configuration gives you about as much protection as what you're talking about though (a LAN).
People want it distributed (outside of LAN range) to combat the threat of natural disasters, fires, or any other event that can wipe out a building.

True enough, and I'm partially jealous he got a grant to do this in the first place :)
