I would think it would have something to do with the fact that fish have specially evolved organs... theres a big word there.. Gills... oooh... trees, the last time I checked, dont have these, and as such, cannot absorb the oxygen in the water in the same way the fish do. The fish actively pursue the oxygen, the trees just... dont
I have a feeling that this is going to get modded to hell, but eh..
mnmn is right.. nasa's priorities have been out of whack for a while. working on these advanced technologies, while noble, shouldnt be the thrust of the research of the organization designed and forged under the premise of space exploration and investigation. Leave this stuff to the colleges and private sector, and build us a nifty spacamajigger.
I have a feeling that the variable of how long it will take is dependant on what you consider to be "hacked". if by that you mean that projects are launched that can reveal how the new security stuff works, I'll give you two weeks. if your talking about completely and successfully circumnavigating the security 100% I say 6 months at the least.
ahh I see what you mean, but since this is/., doesnt that automagically imply that the virus will be open source, and thusly, any evil minion wanting to have himself a viral weapon capable of destroying the world just needs to find a mirror thats current and hasnt been saturated by irc monkeys?
isnt that the capitolist way? build something, charge for it, and then charge again to fix it since you hired the cheapest (read: crapiest) labor to build it in the first place. Get em coming and going. Whats wrong with that? Its just evil since your looking at it in the terms of viruses and attacking the world, but at the base of it, like I said, isnt it just capitolism in disguise?
theorhetically speaking, whouldn't it be more profitable to lord the release of the virus over people? to simply put it out there allows for other virus hunters to get samples and create a vaccine. However, if you threaten to release it unless you get money, there ya go. And then you can also charge for the vaccine, once you actually do release it. Cuz thats just smart. Yeah.
you and another posed good points, for numismatics and for professional presentations this might be a problem. But heres a thought... USE A DIFFERENT PROGRAM!. This only affects the new version of photoshop, which as I have read, isnt being warmly recieved in general by the big houses. Use 7, or use a whole different product, adobe isnt the only game in town.
I agree completely to this notion. I have been waiting to adopt a satelite radio solution because despite how geeky or moronic it may look, I prefer my portable audio solutions to a huge wall of hifi eq. I can take it with me, recharge the batteries when I'm seditary and thats it. In the car, in the house, at work, on the move, its my walkman(s) (cd and standard tape/radio) that get me through. when I can buy a satelite radio walkman or hdWalkman, then things of this nature will really take off. I realize there are tech hurdles that keep this from happening, I just give it hope and time.
how exactly is that possible? its an interesting idea, but it doesnt seem feasible, given the crap quality of the mics in a cell phone that usually require a certain proximity to the source to pick up any good audio. So if the phone is on my belt clip, a good 2 feet from the mouth, thats not gonna help them pick up audio. if its in a purse, briefcase, or backpack, then it doesnt help them too much. those issues asside, how exactly can you turn on the microphone without the system power being on? how can you access the phone remotely, without knowing the status of the phone...
right... too late for sentient thought, mod me to hell; but I found this curious and would like to know the feasibility of such an occurence.
Reading through this listing inspired me, I am always searching for toys for my ppc, and am in a math class so hey. Ran across this forum thaht seemed to be talking about essentially the same thing, and specifically this calculator seemed to be perfect. What do you all think?
Not necessarily... what if a "personality" was stored as sort of a spare interface when needed by the tech support people... just log in with an admin account and it pops up with all the necessary tattle tailing on the abuses of the user. Let the user create its comfortable AI based UI, but keep the ability to access the computer sans said interface for maintenance and repair work.
i've found that 2 cases of whatever beer of choice of the garbage man goes quite a long way. nothing like 3 trucks worth of trash on the front yard of your cheating ex to help calm that broken heart..
then wheres the proof? That editors note is rather convenient, but it doesnt prove anything, which is easily done by providing a link or two to sources of smaller devices.
I looked at the links, and from my brief once over, it looks pretty cool, I just cant figure out how the device knows with respect to the media, where it is and accurately enough to print without mucho mucho problemo's
Wouldnt it be theorhetically possible to use the same technique that keeps dust out from the weel connectors on the current rover designs to protect the joints on an Aibo type walking rover?
I mean, I realize there are obviously alot of things that would need to be changed, but I see the platform itself, in that it has balance mechanisms and enough of a basic sensor array to know where itself lies relative to space (how else is it able to sit up and walk around, it has to know its feet are above the floor somehow).
I also see it as an opprotunity to encourage people to make the most of consumer-available technology. I may not have access to the multi-million dollar rovers that NASA and the ESA have, but Aibos are relatively easy to get your hands on. Adding sensors and other computing power does not have to be integrated into the bot itself, but structurally seperate addons.
I hope someone can give me a really good reason why development of this sort isnt feasible, beyond dust, which can and have been overcome (i.e. the current rovers).

Damn you bit haaard on that one
amazing isnt it? even I realized the stupidity of what I said, albeit in hindsight.
mods + crack = my comments modded insightful. woo hoo!

erm.. your assuming that there is logic involved. how presumptuous of you. Congratulations.

Am I the only one who doesnt see this as a huge problem? I could be missing something though.....

sadly, yes, but they are he-bitch man-boobs. And are covered in cheeto detritus.

No I mean it is convenient. Not for the reader however. For the editor, yes, yes it is convenient. Spank you very much.
