while the idea of using electricity to heal wounds was first reported 150 years ago by Emil Du Bois-Reymond, modern scientists may have found a way to practically apply this idea.
I hope this new method obviates the need for bolts in the neck.
Seed magazine has a story on complexity, and how it can be visually represented with fascinating results.
I find that certain complex things are best represented as a series of tubes. Not a big truck that you can just dump something on, but a series of tubes.
The title of this article is "Why The U.S. PC Market is On The Decline", but right in the summary it says that IDC expects the PC market to grow 5.7%!! That's not decline.
There's a decrease in the amount of increase. Clearly you need to brush up on your journalistic doublespeak.
From the article: 'David Miller, director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Space Systems Laboratory, says such satellites might be used for such tasks as building giant space telescopes and closely monitoring Earth.
Or the obvious use for DARPA, destroying other satellites. (Conveniently left off the list.)
Actually, he compared them both to a "scale 'o evil" and theorized that we're already compalcent with the former and have proved to ignore the latter, and statistically speaking humans could probably score much higher in the future.
So it's the "slippery slope" argument: implying that intrusive digital advertising leads to domination and irrevocable descent into the murky depths of human bondage.
I guess that works, if you also believe that "the Matrix" was a documentary.
That's ironic.. because just today, they sent me this email:
Since you're former member of Netflix, we thought you'd like to know that Netflix now offers a greater selection of plans that start at just $9.99 a month. Come back and enjoy the improvements we've made, including our new Friends and Profiles features. With over 55,000 movies and delivery in about 1 business day, Netflix is better than ever.
I guess "screwing over people who watch a lot of movies" is one of their "improvements" that they've made.
in one of Indonesia's most remote provinces said they discovered dozens of new species of frogs, butterflies and plants as well as large mammals hunted to near extinction elsewhere.
I know about large mammals.
1. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a mammal.
2 Arnold Schwarzenegger is comprised mainly of living tissue
over a cybernetic exoskeleton.
3. Arnold Schwarzenegger's main purpose is to find and kill Sarah Connor.
4. Just like other mammals, Arnold Schwarzenegger can be mean OR totally awesome.
Canada's Globe & Mail is reporting that scientists are currently testing a 'trauma pill' that might help the victims of rape, the battlefield and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) forget or perhaps simply never store the memories of what happened to them the way they are stored normally immediately after the traumatic event, when the brain overloads itself with stress hormones.
Does it work for roundhouse-kick related injuries?
(That said, 4 out of 5 doctors fail to recommend Chuck Norris as a solution to most problems. Also, 80% of doctors die unexplained, needlessly brutal deaths.)
The reviewer states that the first season will set you back about a benjamin if you buy it on DVD. Meanwhile, a season of the Simpsons or Futurama is at most $40, and you can get it for under $30 if you are good at hunting bargains, so why is anime so much more expensive?
I find, if you measure your purchases in hamiltons instead of benjamins, things suddenly seem a lot more affordable.
"cyberpunk" - check. "postcyberpunk" - check. What, no use of the word "manifesto"? Oh, wait, that's in the linked article. I'm sure glad i can access cyberspace on the information superhighway.

Credit card fraud. Go to jail - do not pass go!
Fraud? Well, then we're right at home talking about ars technica. They stole this story from sky news (uk news website), who posted it yesterday.

Until something replaces Coal power plants as the main method of generating electricity, you're just replacing one evil for the other.
Yes, because a few coal plants are way less efficient than millions and millions of internal combustion engines.
(not to mention it's a lot more efficient, as technology progresses, to upgrade emissions controls on a few power plants, than every car on the road)

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.
Did they just compare pop-up ads to human slavery? Isn't that a little glib?
So which part of this writeup did Ars Technica plagiarize from someone else?
"I believe with great wealth comes great responsibility"
Who would have guessed that Bill Gates was also Spider-man?
Why would you pay a store to destroy something like a hard drive? Destroying it *yourself* is clearly way more fun.
So, does Nigeria really *need* more people with computers and internet access?
I mean, seriously...
Ok, so you can overclock it to 4.1Ghz.. but how many weeks will it last before it burns out and you need to buy a new one?
way too much tentacle rape you misspelled "not enough".
The way I read the summary, I imagined something more of a 'every day driving' car..what are you supposed to do when it rains?
wear a helmet?
Why not just destroy our infrastructure from space with asteroids? Admiral Thrawn? Is that you?

Keanu? Is that you?
Hopefully this might provide more public incentive in terms of supporting conservation efforts.
I think in the united states, conservatives have already done their share. Maybe we could get some liberalisation efforts?
So anyone taking bets on how long it will take before these 'hunted to near extinction' mammals will really be extinct?
That depends. Can you make fancy shoes out of them?

According to new research the strength of dark energy may be very different now than it was when the universe was young.
Indeed. Begun, this clone war has.
