The problem with the American industries is they are too based in more traditional terms. Take the RIAA for example: When napster came out, they, instead of trying to create their own internet service that was BETTER than napster, they shut it down only to propigate their problem even more and give themselves a bad name. US car companies would rather make it bigger and badder instead of smarter and sweeter. As for China... Well, their expertise comes from taking something, copying it, improving it, and reselling it. Take the two towers! They turned that into a comedy!
Actually, I don't think they're that hard to program, what the real challenge is just coming up with the programming for how they work before they're inserted. *drilling noise* Perhaps someone should make them compatable with linux...
Still, I think most of the market would be in people who understand computer lingo and have some good knowledge of neuroscience so they can deal with all the nerve problems and stuff. Also, someone who knows the architecture of the brain and stuff might be good for analyzing MRIs for where the stimulator should be placed, but that's progressively getting out of the medical field.
Yes. But they're nearly all in the medical field. So unless you know how to program a deep brain stimulator and maintain hospital databases, and create servers and stuff for private practices, then you are in good shape.
Or you could always be an orderly.
Anyhow, back to the deep brain stimulator thing, that's a really interesting up and coming field that deals with putting in implants into the brain (one of the main reasons is parkinsons patients with really bad tremors) that need to be programmed. Usually that duty is placed in the hands of a Practicioner specializing in neurology, but if you majored in CS and minored in medicine/neuroscience, then you may be in good shape for that.
Or you could be an orderly.
Also, if you know your math, science, and computer skills well enough, you could be a teacher... Teacher certification is fairly easy to get, from what I hear, and it's a field with very good job security for people who know their math and science.
Or you could be an orderly or something. Ok, so maybe I need a new job. (jk)
They oughta do this with gyms and stuff. Allowing a chance to sit on your ass for hours and eat calorific food is just bad... But if it were in a gym then it might be a bit smarter.
But then again, how is this any different from a cyber cafe? Well, aside from the big evil corporate thing...
I wonder how fast their bandwidth is? Thinking about it, it makes a lot of sense to have internet access terminals in places like that... But why should you have to buy something? Can't you just pay for the access? Oh well...
For lights I generally use other computer monitors and I wanna try out christmas lights. I have several computers next to eachother, and I just have them all running some program, and it makes a nice pleasant backlight. And christmas lights are good too, from my experience.
Heh, pretty soon they'll get a telescope to monitor Jupiter 24/7...
"Not so breaking news. Today, 14 more moons were discovered orbiting Jupiter. That makes the current count 4612. The astronomical community has asked people to start sending applications and $75 cash to name one of Jupiter's moons."
He was the first steriotypical anime 'american.' Nabeshin (excel-saga) and Spike (Cowboy Bebop) and others are just copies off of his casual afro weilding style.
Well, mentioning gas will drive away any life but SUV drivers, who leave exhaust 'gas clouds' in their wake...
Anyhow, I seriously doubt that there would be more life than small microbes. Nice, big, just bashes a hole in creationism, but no alien death rays, monolithes, or face huggers.
Still, the amount of money lost is quite a bit. Common sense or not, I think Bush should go after these guys in his 'war against terrorism.'
Do these guys have anything in common with the Xupiter/Gator/Whenu.com people? I'm wondering if maybe there's some connection that could confirm any conspiracy theories about the internet.
What would really be freaky is if the RIAA and MS were behind it as well... I'll have to do some research on that one...
Cheesy sound effects and bad acting remind us of a time where we didn't have the worries we carry now. That's the main reason old school nostalgia is so good.
I think that the archeologists would try to stop them...
"Sir, the problem isn't the Iraqi soldiers barring our entrance into the battery room, it's the hundreds of starving people with their masters in archeology."
This is nice, because it might allow parents to see what type of music their kid is into and thus can buy it for them...
Also, poster of this article, thanks for telling us about the free reg. I get pretty tired of slashdot articles where you click on the link and you have to go back because you have to be registered and don't have the time to. Anyhow, nice job.
Yeah, that's the whole idea behind this is that people's attentions will stay on one thing... Which as they should know, is not true. Hearing the same song/same type of song is like listening to the same band, over and over again. It just doesn't do it.
Plus, what about the messages of songs? Do they have a system for successful messages, or are they just going to take things out of a lottery... But I just can't imagine the lyrics of Korn's Breakstuff being sung by the backstreet boys...
I hope this doesn't get implimented, simply because it could make all the corporately produced music all plasticized, leaving only the underground bands to come out with new stuff. But then again, that might just be a good thing...
Although I do have to wonder about the people who came out with this idea... Has anyone ever seen Pi? Perhaps it was something like that, except instead of the stock market, the music industry. Now that would be deep. (And I could imagine the RIAA holding a gun to a guy's head screaming at him to give them the code... Although I don't know how one might bring in the Hasids...)

OMG! We've been mooned by Jupiter!
And Japanese companies and their fuel cell cars are the future.

Well, the microsoft ones are paid... Well... Very well... And the concubines are a lot better than the ones you get with other software companies.

Meh, I miss the day where a plastic mask or a paper bag was your choice. Simple as that.
And remember, you have to hold your breath on these tunnels. Or you won't get your wish... And the fact that you'll run out of air is smart too....
Yeah... Those mirrors...
Your limit of moons to buy ends at 10, we don't want anyone trying to monopolize on the moons. Sorry Bill.
"Not so breaking news. Today, 14 more moons were discovered orbiting Jupiter. That makes the current count 4612. The astronomical community has asked people to start sending applications and $75 cash to name one of Jupiter's moons."
And knowing Prachett, his space elevators would probably have bad elevator music going on as well...
I do that anyways with all the racing games I play! You get paid to do that???? That's like getting paid to be a porn tester! Heaven on earth...
Haha, to them, it's 'European/American/White" prolly. Except japanese are caucasian in a lot of anime...

They ARE terrorists. Probably down with Bin Laden too.
