Chemical reactions inside the cell strip electrons from the hydrogen atoms to produce a voltage that can power a circuit.
Ok, so hydrogen - electron = proton right? Well what do they do with all of the protons? Protons are where all of the mass is, and it seems unlikely that you can just keep feeding food into a cell without having to... well, um... take it for a walk.... right?
While searching with vague strings trying to find new interesting music, I found an "artist" that scanned pictures of crop-circles and supposedly developed an algorithm to convert them to sound.
Crop circle music.
They were interesting enough to listen to once. However I think he went too far when he added a drum beat to a few pieces to come up with "dance-remix" versions.
Not really a tough question really. Ships with Deflector screens just have no prayer against ships with full shields. Look at how much trouble they had in Ep6 when they had a solid shield around the new DS. And then there is the navigation technology issue. With the empire needing so much time to compute hyperspeed navigation, any fleet able to tacticly use the Picard Maneuver will mop the floor with them.
I didn't even go into transporter technology. Remember the old, beam-a-torpedo-into-their-engine-room trick?
Geeks of today seem to love the political scene and enjoy engaging in the fray
Well, no. Actually you are thinking about politicians who are not good enough to make a living at it. They don geek cloths and speak geek words in an attempt to seem credible on certain topics. True geeks can still be found though. usually they are saying something like
Life is too short to get caught up in politics.
Of course, a little religious war over Linux vs. FreeBSD is never out of the question.;)
My brother went to law school, then passed the exam. Now he is a lawyer. I got a 2 year associates degree and a handfull of computer certifications. Now I make 20% more money than he does and as soon as he pays off his student loans (in 4 more years) he intends to take computer classes.
Normally I am perfectly willing to flame people who post without reading the article. But after clicking through a couple of links I have to admit, the only thing I can think of using this article for is the "before" example of a before-and-after illustration of a web page design class.
Yea, there are members of congress that are using digital media to their advantage. However, if you are addressing an audience from across the whole country (and in fact, internationally, like I was by posting on slashdot) you have to allow for the whole range of personalities in congress. If there is a law you want passed, you want all of congress to support it, not just the ones that read e-mail.
After I read the article and followed the links to the actuall bill, I was very pleased with what I saw. However my representatives in congress has no way of knowing this unless I tell them.
If you are a regestered voter, tell your representatives what you want. If you are a citizen but not registered to vote, then move away to some backwater, third-world country where you belong. Or, of course, you could just get off of your lazy, excuse-finding a$$ and register.
And to be most effective use SNAIL-MAIL. Five letters with a return address from their home district get more attention from congressmen than 500 digital signatures from unknown locations on the internet, even if they SAY they are constituants. Slashdotting a website with 150,000 hits may be cool and all, but 150,000 leters to congress can actually make a difference.
Sorry, I don't have any REAL mod points today, but the spit-cooked yak image made me LOL.
If you are having trouble seeing it in your mind, I have this little suggestion; Imagine a PCI grease-catcher with an AGP conduction fan. Of course with the size of a yak, the spit turning motor would probably have to be USB
because you can't tell if it'll be decryptable in the future
I think you might have missed the point. Everything that is encrypted now will be decryptable in the future. The idea of storing data untill it can be decrypted has always been an issue. That's why crypto has always been only one part of the security puzzle.
Your choice is still there (unlike M$). Change whatever you want. If you are worried about this, then you probably know how to change it AND, you are not the kind of person who is going to write to their tech-support people with a UI question.
If you have to support a product, standard look-and-feel is a good thing for you. If you allow advanced users to change whatever they want, good for us.
Actually, he look like Dolby USED to look like. If you were to see him today, he doesn't look all that much like AB any more. He was on a 'where are they now' deal that VH1 did a little while ago. IIRC he is involved in OSS.
Its extremely easy to print them. It is extremely easy to fill them out. It is extremely simple to hand count them or two design an optical scanner to read them.
Yea, just like a ballot where all the candidates names are listed with an arrow pointing to a different circle. Then you use a metal pin to punch a hole through the circle of the person you are voting for.
Oh, WAIT.... That IS what they did last time.
Don't waste your time trying to reinvent voting so that Florida voters can understand it. The old system was simple and easy. The claim of the Democrats was this: because there were two different columns on the paper, people got cunfuzed (spelled like that intentionally)and voted for the wrong person.

chalk up another vote for casemod!
another vote for CowboyNeal

Just doesn't seem right to me.

Wow... :(
I am such a geek.

IANAL ; Your milage may vary

I just made the biggest mistake in the history of Time Travel this morning"
Therefore the only broken product M$ ever had is WindowsCE. They had to rename it to PocketPC to get people to keep buying it.
"Clearly Office isn't broken. Look at the sales!"
Frightening...isn't it?

Where is the problem?

No password on the network. All the reporter needed was a subnet name, and apparently it never changes.
I know that the names have been hidden to protect the innocent, but I'm pretty sure I've met Scientist 2
Wow. It's been a long time since I have laughed that hard.
NO FAIR!
Playing didgital media through the TV might be cool, and all. But I'm not going to give up Tivo for it!
Is it just me, or does this sound too good to be true?

To this day that argument still makes me laugh.
