In brief, yes, and Opera too - we have a lot of terminals around my school which allow file access only to a local "my documents" or a net-shared drive - so last year, sick of all the IE toobars and other stuff that idiots kept installing under their accounts, thereby affecting all accounts, I installed opera to my file share, and it ran fine - same thing with a work box this summer - Firefox installed fine - it just isn't the default for opening.html files... So you could run it out of my documents, a thumb drive, you take your pick...
You must not be a med school professor - probably 50% of our classes are interrupted by a page... Of course, it's usually the professor's pager, and we understand that it's probably something important, so nobody actualy cares...
Just a note - the "Student's" t-test for statistical significance was published under a pseudonym originally because the statistician was employed by Guinness at the time and was not allowed to publish his work.
So... If my computer can't play the video at over.25 fps, I'm guessing I'll have some problems with the game... Looks like it's time for a new - everything.
I'll add that in my years of service as an officer in the Army, including (too much) time deployed and serving in various headquarters (like places with dedicated communications and security officers), I never heard of whatever the heck it is you're talking about - it's like me saying you were never in the military because you've never heard of using SOSR for breaching obstacles, or don't know what a MOPMS is, don't know what an FLS, SMJP, or DZSO are...
As we would say in the Army, pull your *!*&(^%$ head out, and realize that most people in the military are much more concerned with doing their jobs, not yours, and could really care less about some obscure network security initiative.
As another former member of the armed forces, with plenty of trips to plenty of places, I say hell yes - ban p2p on official computers - in fact, p2p software is already prohibited by most unit signal officers - these people are probably blatantly disregarding rules designed to protect them - I say go one further, track this stuff back to the originating computers, and get these numskulls Article 15s for not complying with published regulations...
You might argue that p2p could be useful, but obviously the people using these computers can't be trusted with it, so don't screw around - take it away - anything that really needs to be shared can go over email, networked file sharing, or (gasp) - walking the damn things over on a disk!
I don't want some (terrorist, criminal, anybody else who would take advantage of my absence) to have my wife's home address because some idiot wanted to download cool files from the computer that the alert roster was stored on...
I second that - everyone told me that the Canadian meals were "so much better" than the MREs, so after I eventually scrounged a box, I was sorely disappointed - no heater, too many little packets of stuff labeled in both French and English, and a spoon that was too flimsy (although the extra couple of inches made it a lot easier to get into the pouches...) - the only one that really was better was the salmon - but that only comes along once in every 20 meals...
Just to pile on the "yes, you can get it done in the military" responses -
Yes, you can get it done in the military - in fact, the Army is offering it with priority to combat arms soldiers - expecially infantry and special forces - you know, the guys whose vision the Army would be most concerned about - it's not even a disqualifier for Ranger school anymore...
Probably not - or at least not a watery sweat. Humans have both aprocrine and eccrine sweat glands - the eccrine sweat glands are the ones that release water for cooling, while the aprocrine are concentrated near areas of hair and excrete a fatty substance which may contribute to scent. Horses, for example, have only apocrine sweat glands, which is what makes up the "lather" they get from heavy exercise - not tremendously cooling for them. I imagine the same probably applies to savannah prey beasts...
Dogs, by the way, only have eccrine sweat glands on the pads of their feet and their noses.
Heck - on the matter of raw food - my dog actually prefers cooked chicken meat... (he spits out the raw stuff sometimes, but when I'm deboning the cooked meat... Good thing he's only tall enough to put his paw on my shoulders, and no taller, otherwise I don't know if I'd get ny food at all...)
nonono - it only will require 128mb of RAM - I've had it since 2002... see all the details here:

I lived in France as a child and didn't have many problems then, but my boss, who is fluent in French, had a very different experience... He jumped in to Normandy in 2001 to celebrate the D-Day anniversary, and at a banquet that night, celebrating the liberation of France, he was seated near two women who spent half the night making disparaging remarks about the American soldiers present, until he turned, looked at them, and told them (in French) the he had understood everything they said, considered it very rude, and asked them to please hold their comments until their guests, the Americans, were gone...
One current issue is feedback - when working with small vessels, like the coronary arteries, it's really easy to pull a stitch right through the wall of the vessel and (at worst) have to start all over again - so the surgeons doing this kind of work often rely heavily on their sense of touch and experience - not sure whether this system has a good fix for that - it's hard to tell with the eye how taut a suture is - maybe a gague to tell the surgeon how much force is on the suture would be a good idea...
I am not a cardio thoracic surgeon, but I've watched a few bypasses...
I never saw this, but I sure as hell knew the rules for dealing with classified information - i.e. having to check out my secret hard drive from a safe every time I needed to do something with it, and either cross-cut shredding or locking up any printed / digital copies of information once it was "contaminated" by contact with that secret hard drive - I had a whole box of sticky red labels to label anything that came out of the disk drive / cd-rw... (hell, I even had to keep a separate (paper) notebook for note-taking, which I locked up every night...)
So nobody took away my cd-rs, or floppies, or checked to make sure I didn't connect my laptop to the internet (although they did use a RED cable for the secret network, so it was obvious which one you were connecting to) - they just trusted my security clearance and position, and my knowledge that screwing up security procedures could lead either to some time in prison, or getting myself, or somebody else, killed... Good deterrent, if you can get it...
There may be - you can get glasses which shift your gaze n degrees from straight ahead, and there is an experiement where the subject tries to hit a target with (a lot of) thrown balls. Eventually the subject can get the balls on target (without conciously compensating), and then the glasses are removed and the same thing happens in reverse - the subject has to re-learn how to throw the ball with normal vision. See your local neuroscience department - they probably have a set of the glasses laying around...
The ocular dominance problem on the other hand, may be more of an issue - the other thing is that your brain essentially has a bunch of layers of filters for seeing things which make it easier to process images, including "center-on" and "center-off" neurons, which combine to allow you to detect edges - which is the essence of vision, really - you don't actually see the color inside objects, just the edges... This processing occurs pretty early in the system, and I wonder whether it could adapt to the scrambling of inputs - I believe that the center-on/center-off is a property of the cell itself - if you have access to a library, the "Principles of Neural Science" book by Eric Kandel has a pretty accessible discussion of how the vision system works, in a couple of chapters.
In short, yes.
There's a famous experiment where a frog eye was removed and reattached inverted 180 degrees, and the frog never compensated (it would shoot it's tongue out the wrong direction when trying to eat flies, and had to be fed by hand for the rest of it's life) (vision scientist types - do you know the name of the guy who did the experiment?)
Another piece of evidence is the development of ocular dominance columns, which were hinted at in an earlier post - essentially, if you occlude one eye of a developing monkey, after a certain point, it will be permanently blind in that eye, because the input from the other eye reconfigures the brain to process only input from that eye - it is irreversible - thus the need for very early cataract correction in children.
