This is quickly going to turn into a lovefest for the IBM M keyboard.
I have several of them stashed away on the off chance that the one I've been using for the past 13 years breaks. Which it hasn't. Hoping to sell it on "Antiques Roadshow" in about 40 years.
I've found Launchcast is much better than mp3.com for streaming stations, though if you listen to more than a certain number of songs per month (350? 400?) it goes into low quality mono for the remainder of the month.
The job of the hippocampus appears to be to "encode" experiences so they can be stored as long-term memories elsewhere in the brain. "If you lose your hippocampus you only lose the ability to store new memories,"
So lets say they get this working. Would it then be possible to record every moment of your life and store it away?
There is no word "conspiracist" in the English language....
Maybe save the indignant tone for the next time you have a leg to stand on.
I'll keep that in mind coming from an AC. I suggest you get a better dictionary. The online ones aren't usually the best.
However, here's one apparently better than what you had:
conspiracist.
Maybe the makers of those other online dictionaries are conspiring to hide words from you.
also interesting is how many news sources mistook the image as a capture from the high-tech cameras that the people *actually* worked on."
Yes, that is interesting. Interesting in a way that might make one wonder if this story is total fabrication to conceal the existence of higher-quality images from the "professional" scopes at that site.
Not saying I believe that's the case, but it is simply more fodder for the anti-NASA conspiracists
I remember playing this game on my good ol' Commodore64. And yes, that was before I read the books.
The DOS version is still available at the-underdogs.
Amazing how a 200KB game could keep one engrossed for hours on end. Heck, the Infocom IF games were a lot smaller than that.
In the rush to bash Java, the summary here was totally off the mark. From the article:
A review of the problem indicates that these issues are not inherent to Java but instead represent implementation oversights and inconsistencies common to projects which do not communicate effectively with partners and users.
And it goes on to mention issues with Solaris. Nothing about Java itself being inherently problematic, just issues with certain implementation.
Maybe 24 hours since it's been reported here, but look at the error reports, the latest report is dated January 29th, the earliest is from November (a variant of the hole in question).
in a better way, in previous Star Trek adventures.
It was retelling of Wrath of Khan without the great characters.
Just as "Generations" sucked, where they tried to put every element into one movie (destroy the ship, cold character gets emotions, major character dies, etc.), so did Nemesis.
1. Inventions are almost never an act of revolution, they're almost always an act of evolution. A lot of great minds adding a piece here and there over the years leads up to an "invention" that becomes known in the public eye.
2. Either way, often an invention will be created by one person or company, and then publicized by another, sometimes directly stealing ideas whether they're patented or not. The latter takes credit for the invention and has the public's eye, but the former is the true origin of the invention. Such claims of invention due to who showed it to the public first are common. Television, radio, etc.
So far, the company has found the only drawback of adding too much AMP to their coffees, either in the mug or the grinds, is that it generates the taste of raw fish in your mouth, said scientist Stephen Gravina, Linguagen's associate director.
Uh, yeah. I think I'll take my chances with the bitter coffee.
Game companies are realising that story telling has a lot of potential that has not been tapped yet.
Infocom realized that years ago. Went great for a while until the unwashed masses had to have the latest and greatest graphics for a game to make any money.
Not that I wouldn't mind a 3D FPA of some of those classics, but then again I have certain images of my own from them that I don't want replaced by some artist's view of the same thing.
The IF contests every year release some good stuff, but not much.
Even a dual 500Mhz PC is far smoother and more productive in general than a single 2.4Ghz proc, unless all you do is play games.
Nice usage of subjective terminology, but while I could believe a dual CPU system outperforms a single CPU system that has twice the clock speed, I find it difficult to believe it would outperform one five times its speed. Post some numbers.

Highly customizable though.

Aldrin has been talking about this for years for a Mars transit system.
No mention of him at all?
"These guys in Utah are no dummies. The crunchies in the Linux community should be paying more attention. "
I have a hard time taking seriously a writer who uses the word "crunchies".
Do they not have spellcheckers in the Matrix universe?
From the page: "The Mini-PC is a concept from MicroSoft co-founder Paul Allen's Vulcan, Inc...."
No, it isn't. IBM and other manufacturers have had palmtop computers for a long time.
One guess as to who funded this study. These "studies for hire" places are almost always questionable.
So lets say they get this working. Would it then be possible to record every moment of your life and store it away?
The article linked is not their server. I provided a link to the article on their site in another post.
Here's a Better link to the story on Omron's web site.
And, "a company called Omron"? Have you not heard of Omron? They're just one of the biggest companies in controllers and industrial automation.
For most people, a $300 Walmart PC does do everything they want it to do.
Slashdot readers are not "most people".
As opposed to finger condoms, which are technically known as "finger cots".
Wiseass.

...more fodder for the anti-NASA conspiracists
I didn't know there was a conspiracy against NASA. Did you mean, anti-NASA conspiracy theorists?
If you're going to flame regarding a definition, be correct.
A conspiracist is someone who has a conspiracy theory.
A conspirator is someone who is part of a conspiracy.
The term as I used it is correct.

Purported internal memo. There's nothing there that suggests it is genuine and a few things that suggest it isn't.

Two main reasons I can think of.

2. Either way, often an invention will be created by one person or company, and then publicized by another, sometimes directly stealing ideas whether they're patented or not.
