yeah, but it's bad publicity. Now everyone's going to use google to find out what he did wrong. Actually, I kind of feel bad for the guy. When you're looking for something to buy, or you're looking for some service, where do you check first? For lots of people the answer is google. The man's livelihood is at stake, and if it's true that he is being misrepresented he deserves legal recourse.
So it can pick up signals that your brain is sending your vocal chords and mouth. Do you still have to mouth the words that you're subvocalizing? Or is it enough just to think them? The article said that it could pick up signals even when your mouth doesn't move. In that case, why would the mouth be receiving signals? I guess I need some clarification.
It's cool that you brought up text messaging! Just imagine a phone that has built-in speech to text recognition, and transmits the information digitally to another phone. The bandwidth saved would be enormous.
good point. is it going to allow us to sense anything that can't be done more easily already? from the article, i think the answer is yes:
Behar said the rover's design is especially well suited for polar missions that use instrument packages to look for water beneath the surface of an ice sheet, a task that cannot be done accurately from orbit... Design refinements are likely to focus on...adapting the payload to include a ground-penetrating radar or magnetometer to conduct ice surveys.
And I'm sure you can make dozens of these beach balls for the price of one of those Beagles. So instead of sending down one probe that will only cover a small area (but possibly take lots of detailed data), you can drop a dozen of these all throughout the region you're trying to explore and survey a much wider area.
oh SHIT, you know how much that would hurt??!! 110V right up your dick and into your NADS! Someone please please tell me they make electric blankets waterproof...uh not that I care because I don't wet my bed anymore...
yah, i was thinking the same. another thing too--what about temperature dependency? at some point, the mean kinetic energy of the particles will be able to overcome the hydrophilic-hydrophobic barrier
actually, i can't remember i time when i downloaded a song and it turned out not to be the song described in the title. now is it just me, or is porn a COMPLETELY different story? i mean, some of those files you can get off kazaa bear no relation to what the title/filename say they're about! if someone could write a program that can check and identify the content of video, THAT would be a real breakthrough...
According to Professor Friedemann Freund and colleagues at Nasa's Ames Research Center in California, the gas is produced when water molecules trapped inside molten rock break down to release hydrogen.
From the way it sounds, the hydrogen was produced in the first place via electrolysis, which separates water into hydrogen and oxygen. So if we burn the hydrogen at the same rate it's getting created, our oxygen levels will be at a steady state. We don't have to worry about about oxygen depletion. By burning the hydrogen in the crust, all we're doing is reversing a process which produced oxygen for us in the first place.
That's a model that already works. We don't have to pay anything to listen to songs on the radio, we just have to sit through commercials. Napster should make money off of ads and set aside a certain percentage for the artists. It wouldn't be hard to set up a system where the number of shares an artist gets credited is proportional to the number of times his songs are downloaded.
As I understand it, the bubble is constantly generated by the low pressure zone surrounding the sub as its tip pushes through the water. The bubble doesn't really contain air, but water vapor.

you actually knew which websites had good shots of that scene? you freakin' perv!!
:)
btw, i highly recommend clicking on the first link, it's really nice

really, I don't!

what's everyone looking at?
Now for the law suites...
what are those? are they like the offices that lawyers work in?
