Anesthesiology is still very much a mystery to scientists, and picking the right dosage that keeps someone out without killing them is still very much an art. Studies like this will help them determine how anesthesics work and why.
Yeah, there are these guys that live down the hall of my dorm that said something like that. They keep telling me "Man, we're like, you know, doctors or scientists or something. Yeah..."
How do you prevent me from using a digital camera to take shots of the computer screen, then feed it back into a computer and OCR the image?
The problem with that method of copying, though, is that it is just horribly inefficient for any kind of routine use. You would have to dedicate a substantial portion of your time to this, as it would be difficult to automate, thus meaning that the DRM stuff is, for most purposes, effective.
I go to the University of Arizona, and this year they have begun to severely limit the bandwidth alotted to the ports used by kazaa and its variants.
However, and I believe this to be a reflection of the IT department's hesistancy to impose restrications on its users, gnutella still works just great and it seems that everyone that used kazaa is simply transferring over to this instead.
As I have said before in response to related articles, I can really appreciate the bandwidth constraints that these p2p apps strain and, while looking at the issue from the perspective of a sysadmin instead of that of a user, fully agree with such decisions as these
Problem is, it is written in a different and incomprehensible dialect of egyptian unknown to anyone and, though we can translate enough to realize what it is that these writings contain, we cannot actually read them.
I can say with a fair amount of (entirely baseless) confidence that the chemical anomalies observed on venus are simply the result of processes seperate from life and these claims will one day be put on the same shelf as ether and the four elements along with all the other anomalies inexplicable by current-day science that were explained fully in later years with the discovery of new concepts and theories. (now that was a long sentence)
I suppose you could test it in a wind tunnel so as to minimize the outside factors involved. But still, you can't go from 0 to > mach 1 without passing the area around mach 1...
Last year (when I still had a car to drive) I had much the same situation, where the sameness of every radio station was really getting to me. I found that audio books worked quite well. I ended up "reading" both Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time and one of Feynman's series of lectures on quantum physics (though these were semi-incomprehensible at times for a layman like myself). When I finally ran out of tapes and went back to the radio, there was also an added bonus in that many of the songs being played were new to me. Of course, that only lasted until the end of that week.
About the compressors on the air-powered car... Does this mean I can finally avoid the (small) fee to have my scuba and 4500 psi paintball air tanks refilled. They might be a little chilly, but could it work?
now if the diesel engine only kicks in over 12 mph, what happens in heavy traffic when the average speed is, in my experience, far less than this speed? Does the diesel turn on when the batteries reach a crucial lower limit? It seems like this would reduce the gains in fuel economy as with the diesel on you would just be running at the same economy level as any other diesel car. Further, you would also presumably be charging the batteries simultaneouly, meaning that emissions and fuel consumption will be greater yet (though still significantly less than a standard car).
Just a small concern, but it seems important to me as well.
I'm sure its been said before, but when Plan 9 is mentioned, I can't help but think of Ed Wood and his film "Plan 9 From Outer Space," often regarded as the worst movie ever. Somehow, having a name like that can't help anyone take something like this seriously.
Its all a matter of perspective. Look at American policies from the standpoint of some large corporation. For them, this is indeed the land of the free. In America, corporations rule over the individuals of the nation. In Europe, the situation is the opposite (or at least reversed to some extent). I don't like it, but there it is anyway.
The first time, I was scared too. And with good reason; within a day of starting to build my new computer I was off buying a new, non cracked processor (it was a thunderbird).
Now think people: what would Freud have to say about something like this? Those carp are going to have to have a lot of psychotherapy after this. I say just end the program now before the lawsuits start rolling in.
Congress ran for over 200+ years without e-mail and it doesn't seem to run better with it. Its not like they have figured why I'm not getting Social Security. Instead of ignoring e-mail, they could focus on fixing that.
You know what? I think you're on to something. But why stop with congress? I really think that all those campus networks should be cut. I mean, read the news, all it does is let those ingrate students cheat easier and download more illegal mp3 files.
You know what? The world was a better place before the internet. Again, look at all that the internet has achieved for terrorists around the world. With the help of the evil technologies of encryption they are going to destroy us all. I think what we really need to do is send a hearty thank you to our congressmen and women to thank them for their efforts to eliminate the threat of the internet to us all through a huge observation campaign. I'm done now...
Look everyone! Its the NASA Power Glove 2003! Now it will be impossible for Bowser to again steal Princess Peach away from me for long! MWahahahahahaha!!
I live on campus in a dorm. As a student, I love the computing policy of "download as much as you want, just don't upload or we'll bust your ass." However, I can very much see how the campus IT department would want to regulate this kind of thing as just about everyone I know has been downloading like mad since arriving at school just under a month ago. Looking at DUMeter, I have downloaded about 10 times as much as I did back at home, where I have cable, thanks in no small part to the massive bandwidth available.
OTOH, outside of blocking certain ports at the firewall level (which will be circumvented immediately by the more "1337" among us), I can't see any viable means of preventing the use of file sharing programs what with the truly massive (>85% of students on the campus network) number of people on campus using file sharing programs.
Flame one, flame all, but this is merely my perspective from the stance of a typical, computer-savvy student living on the campus network.

You might ask "why bother? We already have wireless voice now." But with an open platform for wireless (Symbian, JavaPhone etc), your "voice" (er.. audio) just becomes bits that your programs can manipulate before sending."
and... this is the explanation? What am i missing here? This is a serious question. With all the ideas that you people come up with there must surely be some good reason for having a phone that has ip integrated into it.
Despite their abhorrent control of the computing industry, I do not believe that my Micro$oft has gone quite so far as to control all manufacturers of all computer components to the extent of requiring windows on every computer.
However, if look at it from the angle that some hardware won't work on anything but windows, I guess you could see this as being true to some extent (depending on how rabid you are in the microsoft paranoia department). Luckily, as I'm sure some Linux type would be sure to tell me, this problem (typically driver-based) is steadily being eliminated by all those hard-working Open Sourcers out there.

Look up some stand up by Pablo Francisco. He does a great impression of him.

Right... and didn't i see something about an invisiblity quote a little while back? Maybe they should integrate that in there too...

Now I can go pick up a couple SUV's and not worry about it!
Seriously, though, I can only imagine the kinds of "environmental" programs that will be justified by good 'ol George W. with this in hand.

Come on guys, you can't really blame them. I mean, its not like the Sims franchise makes any money as it is.
Too much mario kart lately. They call her peach there.

How to build a PC:
1)Buy your stuff
2)Take your stuff out of the box
3)Plug in connectors where they fit
4)Turn on your new computer!
