I'd say you have Dr. Kuiken and the bionic research group at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago to Thank. Dr. Kuiken is the best. Period. You can read all about him and his team at www.ric.org. Try not to slashdot em. They are doing some of the most exciting bionic and prosthetic reseach. My ambition is to work for Dr. Kuiken some day.
I'm building my own Beowulf cluster and I really need some parts! My e-mail address is phrackwulf@gmail.com. What would convince you to part with them?
Point taken, but just because a product that was half baked didn't sell the first time, does that mean we just sort of give up and never try selling the product again now that it is further along? Certainly, we don't keep trying for a win after the fourth or fifth loss but just giving up on the concept entirely seems somewhat premature?
Maybe there is a need to split this project along the lines of the split between Red Hat and Fedora? Wikipedia as we know it today would continue as an open source, crowd-sourced knowledge base while the scholarship required to polish the project is applied to produce a more refined product that could be used to support the open source project? How do we translate what has been accomplished as an open, public knowledge product into an economical and refined knowledge product?
Hooke gets credit for popularizing the technology but the optical science of Van Leeuwenhoek has always been where the real scientific innovation was. H. Clifton Sorby, the "Father of all metallurgists" refined the use of the optical microscope for geological materials and then metals and began the process of specialized etchants, which directly gave us the ability to refine and understand the structure of steels in different quenchants and temperatures through direct study of the resulting microstructures. Sorby doesn't get anywhere near the credit he deserves nowadays and ever time I run into a poorly trained metallurgist I am reminded of the exacting science of men like E.C. Baine, M.A. Grossman and H. Clifton Sorby. Though the Hooke college of microscopy in Chicago should never be overlooked.
"As they were leaving. The hair tested positive for selenium and titanium. The beaches are always being closed due to waste spills and stuff. If we check it out and find a match for the hair, then we'd know which break the Ex-Presidents surf!"
Sounds fantastic.. want this kind of granularity, homeschool the kids for a year or so yourself, then have them rejoin the public school to finish up Junior and Senior year. Present it as a compromise with the school folks. They might just go for it! NEXT!
Very outstanding, as a test engineer or metallurgical foundry engineer this type of hardware event functionality is just what we need! I actually really miss the Gateway switcheable laptops you used to be able to buy. This type of thing might actually make "ultrabooks" good for something.
Can I use it with my Planar touchscreen monitor and netbook though? Would be one way to bridge this huge divide between touch type devices and the PC world.
The Tesla design is still too expensive, the future of electric powered LUV's (light utility vehicles) will be decided by John Deere and Harley Davidson with the able assistance of the Argonne Laboratory vehicle group and the price point will be $15,000. Stick that in your Silicon Valley you tofu eating, suckers! HOOAH!
It's like watching a tiny snowflake slowly aggregate into a rumbling, tumbling wall of icy, nerd disregard, stupid disagreement, general weirdness and low grade hostility until this sort of mass of opinion and low grade information howls down the mountain slopes of the Web and obliterates all common sense, reason and basic courtesy?
Thank you Slashdot, for making me laugh about love... again.
I can't believe my little two paragraph comment started all this? I think I need to see a Priest now? Maybe take a GI shower? No one should have this kind of stupid, poorly directed power.
My boy Tinky got three shorties and ain't seen none of the weak, frontin baby girls down on Sesame got it on and burnt a brother, playa! Biggie B be steppin up with the mad love, got Tinky his second job workin body guard for Ice Cube on the weekends. You know we down.
Yo, Yo... y'all don't step to my bloods Biggie B and Tinky Winky.. dawg! Me and Tinky be down, straight old school. You don't want my homies back out lookin for the GTA in the Sesame Hood. Where's the love?
The real consequence of those "Baby Einstein" tapes now becomes clear. I also don't see television as something inherently bad for kids. But too much of anything is often poisonous. Television takes up time that could better be spent running around playing tag or staring at lego blocks thinking about making neat things, or playing with my little pony, in some of, um our cases. Hopefully this starts to re-inject some sanity into the mix.
You need a good mix of introverts and extroverts in an online community. Linkedin has the introverts. Facebook has the Extroverts. Disaspore needs to define who their audience is before they build out the technology. Technology is nothing without the right people.
Get real... These folks get lost all the time. They get lost in the wildernss so much they have an expression in order to explain that they are lost. It's called "gone walkabout." The government is just trying to be able to find people under those circumstances, has nothing to do with Civil liberties or criminality or terrorism! Bloomin, bloody, Yanks and their penny-ante idea of freedom. Have a drink, mate.
I really wiish somebody who actually lives in Australia would comment on this story. A lot of what makes Aussies different is that they have a lot of wilderness left down there. Their approach to things is a lot different then uptight, whiny Americans.
Ehh. That's the thing, maybe the Aussies really are that laid back about things? When 75% of your population can decide to disappear into poorly charted wilderness at their own discretion how much "control" does a government really have? Down under is a big place. Think 1,000,000 person version of "Burning Man." Hey!
ooh.. actually you can't change government with guns anymore. They'll lock your bank accounts, publish your pornographic e-mail, repo your property and all with the click of a mouse button. "One click oppression."
"In the 21st century, Losers have guns, winners have an air force."
Is that if you look at this thread you see that a supposedly somewhat technical audience cannot even agree on the relative characteristics and density of sea water vs. fresh water let alone the ultimate fate of the planet. You need to get more granular on this issue. If I need to build dikes to keep New York from becoming the littoral version of "Rapture" from Bioshock that is something you need to let us, the Engineer's know. Other than that. Suck it up princess.
Just try getting this crowd to agree on a Friday night pizza topping.
