I agree except for the availability of the phones in the USA. The current N80 is somewhat handicapped in the USA by differences in frequencies used. Cingular is forever deciding to drop the latest S60 phone before deciding at the last moment not to and then bringing out a buggy version. T-Mobile has failed to progress. Nokia can manage only weak offering for non-GSM networks. I do not know whether Nokia will ever bring out any S60 phone for Sprint or Verizon. For that matter, Sprint and Verizon are both so terrible to customers that they would not allow a phone so fully featured to reach their customers without severe crippling.
I don't know most linguists, but I did find this page about the Pacific Northwest accent.
What is "least-accented"? In order to produce spoken language, one must use sounds with some consistency. Different regions favor different sounds and different choices of phrase. How can an accent be less or more on an absolute scale?
The parent possibly is a troll, but it expresses a common wrong belief. English speech continues changing. Do You Speak American? was an entertaining look at how it has changed. http://www.pbs.org/speak/ In particular, look here.
The peripheral nervous system has regenerative capacities. It has been known for a long time. How much the central nervous system can regenerate is a different question. It now appears that many people underestimated the capability of the central nervous system to recover from injuries.
I ran my own contest concurrently. I had no winners (or entrants).
The creator claims that he spent "nearly 48 hours straight." The contest announcement placed the laptop value at $4500. It works out to $93.75 per hour. Considering the high profile of the site, it is cheap. Maybe it will work as advertising for Alex Bendiken.
I hope Peter Lada gets more than a $250 gift certificate and this thorough hosing of his webserver. The numbers look worse for him. Advertising?
My first thought was that this system is pointless. Power must run to the devices. Running another cable for control does not seem to be a big deal. Then I remembered routing. Which cable goes where can make for quite a mess. Then I remembered shared buses and multiplexing. A common data bus can be routed to many components with the components only responding to the relevant control signals. Is most fly-by-wire done with shared buses? Wireless control seems useless since a power cable must run, and small variations in the number of wires in the bundle of wires being routed should not matter. The questions of buses and which buses to route where seem interesting, though.
From the little a gained from the article, the screen seems like a giant compound eye. I wonder how much each sensor will overlap with others. Combining them into a single montage could be complicated.
I have an even better contest. I call it "Do My Job 2006."
1. I send you a list of my job duties. 2. You do my job. 3. You give your results to me. 4. Of all applications, I choose the best to reward with a paltry fraction of my income in the form of a prize.
What if there are elves inside the volcano? How would you like it if an alien race drilled through your house? The people of Iceland are so insensitive.

1. Go to the New York Times Link Generator. http://nytimes.blogspace.com/genlinkt ml?ex=1312084800&en=47d325654e49623c&ei=5090&partn er=rssuserland&emc=rss
2. Generate a link that does not require registration. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/01/science/01arc.h
3. Profit?
Taco et al should change all NYT links to registration free versions as a matter of course.
On a motherfucking plane or another kind?

Judging from the response thread,
I think it's gonna be a long, long, time

Uh... without the scalpel?

They look even worse for all the losers.

GNU Emacs is at version 21.4. Can we really trust such an immature editor?

If I only thought with a 50 Hz brain, maybe I would believe you. Fortunately, I have years of 60 Hz neural synchronization therapy.
