EMF doesn't cause anything in people? Go stand in front of an x-ray or gamma ray source and repeat that until you die of cancer. Or buy a MW transciever take the shielding off and see how long you can stand being in the room.
I'd rather play Battlegrounds with an army of spaceships and 10,000 soldiers. Get with the times George and spend more money on computer games that are open sourced.

Start researching how to build better computers and start a company. You have some options to explore -
1) DNA/Molecular computers 2) Atomic switches http://www.physicsweb.org/articles/news/ 9/1/2/1 3) Betacomputation (Switches made from neutrons and protons that can be on/off by adding/removing electrons bound inside of the hadronic structure) This makes for good power supply too http://www.betavoltaic.com/ 4) Positron/electron photon exchange (Yes Virginia, antimatter/matter changes the phase of absorbed photons) 5) Integrated silicon/optic chips 6) Black holes (See Sci Am Dec 2004)
Also for all of you aspiring scientists out there do yourself a favor and join the present by reading about nonlinear/nonunitary mechanics http://www.i-b-r.org/ir00018.htm You'l l save yourself a lot of time by not modeling nonlinear processes with linear equations and infinite corrections under 10^-13 m (ultraviolet divergences).
The only reason the government gets technology like this developed is intelligent people will do anything for their degree or grant money. Until we all stand together and refuse to help Americans spy on other Americans or any one else in the world our rights will continue to slowly errode because of people like the researchers at Rensellaer. Really, they are the ones who need to be punished by ostracizing them from the scientific community and their neighborhoods to make it clear that any one who accepts tax dollars to further the goals of Big Brother are not welcome in our hearts or minds as comrades.
Yes, Sun can appeal for 5+ years with billions of cash on hand. Yes, everyone is worried on Slashdot because small businesses depend on the ability to not worry about bullshit over-arching patents on clicking buttons on websites or programs talking to each other. If you aren't a SB owner, shut up and don't worry. For the rest of us having mega-corps litigate us out of business is a HUGE concern.
for a new (quasi-immortal) body before I explore space. Once I have a virtual reality to immerse myself in and some universal constructors I'm getting off this planet and forming a new colony and government. Now who is with me?
Unless researchers announce preliminary findings 2-5 years in "advance" of a prototype how do you expect them to get funding? Investor mind-reading equipment to access scientist brains is still 10-15 years off.
Any sufficiently intelligent entity that is going to be implanted into a cybernetic body should be able to 1) Choose from a group of predesigned body shapes or Design their own from scratch (I'm sure eventually...) 2) Modify them afterwards depending on their judgements of reactions towards them. IANAAI (Artificial Intelligence) but such entities may find that one of the greatest challenges to its own evolution and interaction with the physical or virtual reality at hand depends greatly on the appearance it takes.
All of our operating systems will act like a virus too by sending information about itself back to its creator so the creator can control the offspring...sort of like Windows...
Just because you think of nanobots in traditional terms of metal and Energizer batteries doesn't mean that is how they are. Perhaps you should do some research in the field first. The most promising (INAN - I'm Not A Nanoscientisit) designs will follow closely to nature - ie virus and bacteria like genetically designed and perhaps controlled by electromagnetic fields. Nature has already given us extremely efficient designs for self-growing structures and organized modification at a chemical level of these structures. I would suggest reading up on the subject as there are many excellent books published on the subject.
Punch cards work just fine. The hanging chad fiasco was just a smokescreen to keep everyone from realizing the actual problem was the list of thousands of people who should have been able to vote but were turned away at the machine.
Any one know of projects that do this? Wouldn't it be ideal to have many firewalls running with differing code and whenever a firewall was breached remove that code from the gene pool and evolve a new firewall?
In order to punish Gator(=spyware) for being foolish and attempting to control what people refer to them (Gator=spyware) as, hence forth all possible attempts must be made refer to Gator as spyware.

Although in America not much critical thought is given to the best way to punish criminals (not much critical thought given to laws either) with non-violent crimes such as this one a wider range of options are available instead of prison. Maybe Ethics courses, extremely restricted computer access, public servitude, or strictly monetary fines would be better. Why throw away $40k a year to keep a spammer away from a computer in prison (i don't think they have those yet) when you could just force him or her to tell all future neighbors with an email address of their past history?
Instructions on how to "validate" the truth or falseness behind a statement.
Do not answer what you think, but what you believe all other people will answer.You will lose credibility with GAC if you answer a question in the 30% minority.
Remember, on the IQ bell curve 100 IQ is the majority...and thats not counting the people under 100.
So basically GAC will ignore you if you aren't an idiot or fail to think like an idiot. Instead of putting up Ask Slashdot topics we can just ask GAC what it thinks and get the same insight.

Same here. Been living in O-town for 3 years and never once at UCF or any where else was this talked about.

A simple implant in your hand will allow the Christians to make sure they get that 15% for using their facilities.

Because if you use the virus to create zombies to spam you can make plenty of money from companies who use this marketing tactic.

Arg next thing you know this will be published in Forbes and Slashdot's great money making idea will be RUINED.

Don't forget the money given to fraternities so they can party.
If the proests are off for now I'm assuming they'll still be protesting right?
