what i dont understand is why dna cant be extracted from a spider, dumped into bacteria and have them make the spider silk. if you can make glowing green fish then it should be possible to make bacteria which eat garbage and dump out silk.

hitting a target with coherent gamma rays (specifically water) repeatedly triggers a fusion reaction. i'd hate to see gamma rays used in warfare like bullets. these things contaminate large quantities of material and spontaneous fusion detonations are not something i'd like to see on the earths surface in any war. these are space based weapons and thats where they should stay.
i suspect it uses two fans with a body capable of bending in the middle by about 30-45 degrees. that would allow it to adhere to curved surfaces as well as 90 degree transitions between wall and ceiling. neat...really neat. i suspect an 8 wheeled model would be more efficient as shown below in my crappy ascii art.

coloured diamonds are better -- if debeers doesnt see them as competition and we can obtain them really cheaply for computers and other uses, the transparent ones will become readily available with time.
mini nukes arent going to happen -- once you release nuclear weapons in a war situation you've just given everyone the green light to use nuclear warheads in battle. yes, nukes are more cost effective than any other weapons ever produced, but the population of the planet has a healthy distate for them since they were used in japan.
the problem with having military robots is 3 things. 1. power. humans which can survive of a cup of water a day, can withstand freezing temps and dust/sand are far better than machines which cant self repair and have low power densities (i.e. you needs lots of gas to move a machine, while humans move with very little food). 2. EMP. humans can withstand EMP blasts (and still keep shooting from their non electronic weapons) while machines cant. if you put faraday cages around machines you end up with machines which cant be controlled remotely..which brings me nicely to 3. 3. control. humans can be controlled with very little info -- they can communicate via radio, voice, optics (morse code, smoke signals) and are intelligent enough to filter obvious interruptions to the chain of command -- no american is going to take order from a guy in an iraqi accent even if the guy on the other end has all the correct authenticated security codes for example. worst case scenario you can control humans by shooting them if they desert from the ranks for example. or control via torture (implied or otherwise) and other methods. machines, once out of control cannot be controlled by any means other than complete destruction. you cant shoot a robotic tank thats gone beserk nor can you threaten it in any way except by complete destruction (i.e. using a RPG or equivalent if you do manage to hit it with one -- which is unlikely since its reflexes will be faster than you in the first place, otherwise there would be no point building a robotic tank).
to conclude: a military robot would have to be completely autonomous on the battlefield, capable of some degree of self repair, carry enough fuel/stores/ammo onboard to survive for around 2-4 weeks without refueling, able to identify and terminate targets at will with no control system and be fully enclosed in a faraday cage.
in other words, no way in hell any general is going to allow something like an autonomous mine to go roving about on a battlefield with no controls. so military robots are going to be extremely unlikely. we might see mroe predator drones but thats about it.

its sluggish because the event loop in mozilla which handles PREvents isnt that hot. with applets and javascript it tends to send invalid events to objects which dont exist and corrupt the stack. well known problem, no fix. the event handling code probably needs a good overhaul. see my bug for more info: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211 436

Mensa is fairly nice -- its a social club where geeks go out and play pool (or whatever) depending on the mensa society. if youre alone in a large city with no one around to socialise with, join the local mensa chapter and join in..they usually have weekly or bi weekly gatherings to sit around in chat/shoot pool/play rpgs. i joined in with mensa's boston chapter a coupla years ago when i landed up in MA with no one to socialise with -- pretty nice. got to meet new ppl and shoot a little pool. yes, mensababe is probably not in mensa...most mensa members would never advertise they're with the club....theres little point in a holier than thou attitude when virtually all mensa members know that high IQs arent a measure of intelligence -- theyre a measure of processing capacity. yes, most mensa members are faster at drawing conclusions and (mostly) correct ones because of the faster processing capacity than the general population. that doesnt make them more intelligent than the rest nor does it make them less likely to make mistakes. mensa primary goal is to spread knowledge to as many parts of the world as it can -- thats where your forty plus buck a year membership fee mostly goes to - education programs in africa and other countries for example.

batteries arent a real problem...these are low power RF devices with a builtin motor (for hopping). i'd imagine they can power up the motor and use it to recharge with very low power bursts of RF (think palmpilot) allowing batteries to run the system for a month or so, while the motor recharges them.

i got a 1960 total when i took the GRE coupla years ago. i took it on the computer based test..heres a few (may help you or may not) tips: [1] dont spend anything on classes or books. they dont help. i didnt. no multiple choice test like the GRE/GMAT/LSAT etc is covered fully by any book on the market or any classes. theyre all a ripoff. [2] to prepare, i went to the local public library everyday for four weeks before i took the test, with a pencil, stopwatch and tons of paper. i grabbed a dozen or so GRE preparation books from the shelves (princetons, kaplans, barrons, the official GRE test publications and others), ignored all the sections and did ALL the practice tests. i averaged *THREE* full GRE tests everyday for two weeks (3 x 7 x 2) straight. i split up the tests so that i did the tests in weeks 1 and 3. [3] in weeks 2 and 4 i only reviewed the test answers, went thru the model explanations (if any) and redid any questions i had got wrong, ten times each, until i got em right ten straight instances in a row. [4] expect to do much worse in the real test than you do on the practice tests. on the real one i got 1960, on the practice ones i was getting 2000-2300. getting into a tier 1 university with a 1960 was a piece of cake, however. [5] do at least ONE computer based test on the internet..i found 3-4 of them which i did in one day. i didnt pay for any of em. YMMV. [6] simulate the test conditions exactly. the public library helps...its dead quiet, i have a stopwatch, and i simulate the test by not going backwards on any questions, timing each question so that i completed each question in the 60-90 seconds that you normally are allowed and doing everything else required. in the end if you can do the last dozen or so practice tests with a decent average (2200+/2400) youre in good shape. assuming you dont fuck up on test day of course, or come late for the test or get in a car accident or whatever.
yep. thats the problem with all this research....everyone who does it doesnt share their results. wheres the models for the function reponse of the rat neurons ? the electrical interface to the cells ? the procesedure and problems encountered ? By the time anyone publishes results its years and progress has already moved on. the scientific system should be overhauled methinks. this research is critical and interesting enough that lots of people would be ahppy to contribute significantly if it was easy to obtain. a coupla thousand geeks playing with biological-electronic hybrids could do more than a bunch of researchers at a single university or two.
The grape biofuel cell consists of two carbon electrodes thinner than a hair, a few centimeters long and a few millimeters apart. Light and cheap, they cost just a few cents to make. The cell derives power from the metabolism of glucose and oxygen, the energy-generating mechanism in all plant and animal cells. In metabolism, electrons are transferred from glucose to oxygen. In a biofuel cell, they flow through a circuit between one electrode and another, generating electricity in the process. The cells work best when there's lots of glucose, and the grape cell's power drops by about a quarter over 24 hours.
yes you would but how can we progress if *everything* we do is based in general on a society that believes in what is essentially a lie ? is it worthwhile to have a brief period of anarchy compensate for stupid restrictions on research (like banning cloning or stem cell research...as if nature doesnt clone already with twins or use stem cells for generating organs) ?
and realistically for those of us who don't believe in god or a higher power (like you, me and a large majority of slashdot and the scientific community) is life really that unbearable ? even if we dont believe in souls, afterlife or any of that bullshit and believe the human brains disintegrates and death is permanent, i dont see anyone here slashing their wrists or going beserk anytime soon. if youre intelligent enough to accept it, you can live with it. knowledge should be shared. educating the average joe that religion is a sham is a worthwhile endeavor IMHO. even if we do get a hundred years of chaos, science will progress at a much faster rate than it does now and the average person's level of intelligence will rise as they become more interested in real progress rather than the buy-the-new-flashy-toy-you-mindless-sheeple model. lowest common denominator will only carry you so far....eventually the human race will *have* to grow up and become mature...or become extinct either way, like all the other civilizations before us (mayans, sumerians, etc etc).
yes yes...and you can point to liquid state machines and all the other crap going on.... but it still doesnt add up to anything more than dog shit. what we can simulate today is: a turing machine running algorithms we know nothing about which seems to be able to interpret sounds as well as the human ear. what we dont know is: how the sounds are stored. how the sounds are interpreted into speech. how the heck those algorithms and formulae appear to work (even the original guy who derived the equations used says he couldnt figure out HOW they were created based on current research, he just copied em by deriving an approximation from a mathematical model of a function response from the human ear. monkey see monkey do.) how the information transfer takes place (how sounds/images etc are compressed and stored, the protocols for transferring or anything else) what the heck axons/dendrites and all the other hardware (wetware?) actually does. yes we know they fire at -70ma...but why/what/wherefore we know not. in other words: we are primitive apes staring at a futuristic spaceship built by engineers who we know nothing about. by beating rocks and wood branches together we can approximate the steps to the entry hatch of the ship...but thats about it. heck, we dont even know what the controls stand for or the language used to pilot it. we have invented the wheel and built a couple of trolleys, but we're nowhere near the technology levels required to understand it or even emulate it. why does everyone (and i mean EVERYONE) in the AI field use bit based linear turing machines to figure out how the brain works ? where are the trit based computers, the non turing machine based processing models and everything else required to understand a system which is probably not based on the old linear turing machine model from the 1930's ? and whats the point of turning quantum based machines with qbits into linear turing machines ? AI is a flop, and will poabably stay that way for a loong time.
