Since you want the coating to react to inside temperature, I would think the coating would need to be on the inside Pane and probably on the inside side of the inside pane (say that a few times fast)
yes, alll you need is a paper ballot, marked with a pencil and run thru a scanner.. Oh wait, we already have that... must have touch screen... shiney...
One word, 'transistor'. AT&T when they were a monopoly arguably the best R&D, Bell Labs. The thing with R&D is you're basically paying a bunch of smart people to go play and use their imagination. So you have these people who probably come up with a few thousand ideas that amount to crap and occasionally come up with something like the transistor. Thats really hard for a bean counter to reconcile. They traded that for several years of profits but nothing really new, Who knows what Bell Labs may have come up with that AT&T would have had the rights to.
those are magic amplifiers for sure, they are about the size of a pack of cigaretts and can output 43,000 watts at 12v without the need for 3583 amps !! I've always wondered how Kraco could to that... Imagine if they decided to solve the energy crisis !
well,, only the right people can vote http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/US/ap20040708_639.h tml I know this is old, but after you serve your sentance, you are still a citizen, why shouldn't you be able to vote ? I can see not being allowed to vote when you are incarcerated but why forever ? BTW only a handfull of states do this.
Well, not yet, Besides even if you were arrested in the middle of the night, it's not like they can hold you indefinately or deny you acces to a lawyer or your family, you have a right to a phone call right ?!
I also think that this is just the next step towards the end game of an 'on demand' world. Anybody remember that commercial where a guy goes to a hotel in the middle of nowhere and the clerk informs him that they have every show ever made available on tv? I have comcast 'digital' cable and there is at least 40 shows on in demand. I can watch the current Sopranos episodes any time I want for Free!! (of course cable and HBO cost $50/month) eventually they could have every show.(maybe say 25 cents for old tv shows) Hey now once thats available why would the consumer even need the one copy? See the MPAA will solve all our problems! What if I don't want cable or sat you say, its not hollywoods fault you see, since almost everyone has cable/sat well you're just weird if you don't subscribe (probably a terroist too)
Yep, first thing I thought of.... seen the mini series, got the unabridged hard cover 1200 some pages.
But it's scary.. It seems that they are making the virus first then find the cure.Sure, the virus getting out and killing millions is unlikely at best, but still, I agree, "any benefit that comes from this sort of research far outweighs the hypothetical dangers."

Unfortuately, the masses thend to say 'Ohh, Shiney!' and dont care about fair use being taken away, and they drive the market
But it's interesting to note they mention nothing about a fine. I would think that he should also forfet all profits too...

Ever bring a copy of a tv show to a friends house ? Ever want a copy of a program to bring to your summer home ?
The first thing that came to my mind was Minority Report.....
What the hell kind of half-ass "moderator" mods this comment troll ?!
Sigh.. sadly, no we are still at Step 3
ROTFLMAO !!
False sense of security? You mean the TSA?
Why did someone mod this Troll, it seems that one of todays Mods is a little cranky !

alright, who's the joker wo updated wiki?!
But that sure would enhance the Virtual Reality would it not ? Although a Smell control (think volume control) would be needed.
All I can say is ROTFLAMO
While this is a Whacky technology, it could ad alot VR games like quake or Half-Life or even D&D style games.
