The woman didn't splash it on herself to test the temperature, she spilled it
She didn't even do that. She was in a parked car and had it between her legs. She removed the top to add her cream and sugar. The cup, which was much softer than it should be since the coffee was about 20 degrees hotter than it should have been, squashed and poured on her lap.
the bladder is capable of stretching to several liters....
I'm not sure about that, It's my understanding that it's uncomfortably full at about 1 liter. Though not all the water you drink will end up there, you'll lose it through your lungs when breathing and sweating as well.
Ewido Security Suite has helped me remove some pretty nasty stuff that the others didn't even recognize, but the more eyes scanning your system the better.
I guess the breakthrough is the hand articulation and the idea, not the rest
Actually, some seniors from the local DeVry made a robotic hand, controlled by an HC11 microcontroller, that could be used for signing. That was around 2000.
The original problem was with copyrighting/trademarking numbers. So someone could make another chip with a 750 designation, making one with the name "AMD D 750" would get them slapped with an easily winnable lawsuit.
I remember Reading previously that scientists were trying to develop a cheap and reliable means of producing Terahertz electromagnetic waves, as they were very useful for imaging, particularly medical. Apparently they have similar properties to x-rays without that pesky ionizing radiation problem.
When I did this, I used a 5 gallon bucket of "Tractor Oil" from the local Wal-Mart for $15. I put a complete old PIII 500 machine into a rubbermaid container that was just tall enough to let me submerge to the tops of the add-on cards. I also decided to see if I could get away with submerging the hard drive as well, though I made the mistake of using an old Quantum drive with a foam rubber type seal around the cap.
The drive went about 4 days before it finally drowned. I replaced it with a maxtor drive which lasted about 1 month before meeting the same fate. During my autopsy I found that I had missed a breather opening that had been obscured by a decal with the same texturing as the HD's brushed aluminum body. Had I found it I'm confident it would have continued as long as a normal drive, but running much cooler.
I experienced about the same oil temp mentioned in the article when running folding@home, though I'm sure being in a plastic bucket didn't help much for heat exchange. I also found, when taking it all apart that the oil had hardened the plastic on all the peripheral cables, and had also climbed though my USB extension through capillary action.
I found when removing cards it was best to wash them with degreaser, wash them with water, then alcohol and then blow them out.
As an added bonus, the wifi card worked just fine.
I just cant wear in-ear headphones if they're the kind that are supposed to stay in by virtue of their shape. I just don't have that little cartillage outcropping that most of them hook behind. Makes finding a cheap hands-free for my cell dificult as well.
I've decided to just stay with my Sennheiser 280-HDs. Not only do they block out all the noise arround you (my god is it a welcome thing every now and then) but when I connect them to my computer I can turn my master volume slider down to 1/3 and the slider for my wave level to one notch above off and still hear everything clearly.
Sure, they're not as small as ear-buds, but they allow you to hear everything without going anywhere near full volume.
I really think my Freshman biology book got the creationism vs. evolution thing right. In the first chapter, probably within the first few pages, as it was introducing students to biology at large, it mentioned how most, if not all, of modern biology is built on the theory of evolution.
It went on to say that there are groups which believe that the earth and the creatures as we know them, were created by a higher power. And while this could be possible, it was beyond the scope of a science class as it was not a scientifically testable hypothesis. It finished with suggesting that, should you wish to learn more about the idea of creationism, you should contact the clergy of your church of choice.
Simple, Factual, not more than a parapgrah. Now if only I could remember who published that text book.
To add to that, all too often it takes just as long to find uses for the solution as finding the solution itself. How long did we have Boolean mathematics before they wer put into use for digital compters? More than 70 years.
If we find more uses for it, great. If not, we have a better collective grasp of pure mathematics.
We've all heard about the bar code modifications carried out to defraud various stores. Rather than do that, shoot for the grey area and modify the barcode on those store savings cards to remove any traceable data; a few members of the local 2600 group have been doing so with great success.
If I remember correctly they've managed to combine the 2 major bar code schemes used my the local markets into a single barcode and printed our their own "Preferred Shopper" cards which have no real personal data attached to them.
You can find a little more info here as well as some graphics that can be used to make your own cards.
"Addiction is defined by continued behavior in the face of adverse consequence." -Dr. Drew
Until we have some adverse consequence, one that's not immediately offset by the actual benefits technology brings to our lives, we can't even start referring to this as addiction.
I'd be interested to see how the prevelance of obesity and diabetes compares against the average intake of fructose in americans over the last few decades. Perhpas it would strengthen that "casual relationship" they've found.
Oh, I didn't mean to imply that products wouldn't have an internal power supply, just that one is not necessarily needed to move it off the shelf if the cost of packaging is prohibitive.
Oh, I'm not worried about it, I just said it could be interesting. I already traverse many pages with ads, hell it's almost impossible not to. Along the same lines I'd much rather have well targeted unobtrusive ads than flashy catch-alls that are pointed at the median viewership of a site.
Well, with something like a cereal box I doubt they would need to cover the entire thing, so you could have the same old box of Frosted Flakes but with an animated Tony the Tiger hawking his wares.
By leaving most of the original printing intact the application of power becomes optional and could be done through an inductive system set on the store shelf. It probably wouldn't cost the store too much to begin with and would pay for itself after a short period. Not to mention, once the box is off the shelf, an animated label would have already served it's purpose.
So much for the value added possibility of seeing something *new* on the box when it gets ready during breakfast.

Since you didn't specify I'd have to recommend Polycom. Give them a call.

If you want to run it standalone, just change the executable name from whatever.scr to whatever.exe. Hell, throw it in the startup folder :-)

So now they'll be able to track where we're going when it's not mentioned in our gmail or searched for through their search engine.
Could be interesting.
