I think the point is that the components are printed into the circuit, no need to solder. Why not print the circuit into the device may be another question.
Excellent,
I think we are on a similar page. I realize that I am evolved from my parents and so on...
The disagreement becomes, where did that first "mysterious creature" come from.
Did it begin from itself with the ability/desire to improve, going against all entropy that seems to govern it's environment?
I don't think so and it seems you do.
It is hard for me as a scientist to believe that something came from nothing.
You didn't answer the question,
Let me posit it simply,
is there a creation? - chew
Now if there is or isn't a creation, evolution being taught as creation is a falsifying of evolution. Evolution is not creation, it is simply the change that the created universe undergoes. Evolution is not creation.
Sounds like you have a good religion of your own going on. Don't pay attention to the bible unless you are willing to pay attention to the bible and those who wrote it, unless you want 30,000 churches in less than 500 years.
Interesting if you are asking about Creating a world where my kids get "theory" as truth. What about the truth that evolution is a mechanism? It is not the beginning or end or anything but a mechanism? That needs to be taught but isn't. It is taught that we came from bacteria so be nice to the mold. No intention to say that God should be taught in schools, that should be taught by parents if they so believe. What should be taught is that there are limits to a theory including how it began, where it is going and why it exits. All "theorys" about why evlolution exits by non-theists should be canned just like the biblical one has been. These "theorys" (not evolution but the origins of evolution and it's causes) are speculatory at best and deserve to be identified as religious.
Interesting posts,
How? If evolution wasn't created how was it begun? A big bang? - Sounds like a creation to me.
Christian, what does that matter in science? Just because there is a beginning that does not preclude an answer. Life began it changes. That is the matter, the explaination of the change can include that change was built into the system, or the system built itself based on the creative moment, either way there is a system and there is a creation. There cannot be logically a non-creation because we are. There is logically an evolution because it can be measured. So what/who ever created can be debated but there was a creation.
PepsiQuest, MMORPG gives virtual cash and gifts for real purchases! Buy a pizza from pizza hut and get an AOE spell doubling stamina for all in party! Each pepsi can code entered rewards with 10gp and a full life bonus! Pepsi/Sony/GM - buy a Saturn vehicle and get an online virtual vehicle, purchase a Sony big screen and get Full set of the best armor.... Hey it just makes sense for this to happen sooner or later. The fact is that in most MMORPG's people who have real money buy online credits and charachters anyway.

Showing your ID is a warm fuzzy. Every person who boards a plane is ID'd apart from his or her ID anyway. The next time you think you can fly without someone knowing, you better have your own unregistered stealth fighter away from established air space.
If you publish your IR commands are you violating DMCA? Who will be the first to have a catalogue of IR.mp3 files sued by Matsushita/Sony/JVC for DMCA violation? On the otherhand it could be another way for those companys to make money... charge a dollar per command?
So a minor detail in an idea constitues originality? What about a plane with square wings or a dog house made from tape and crackerjacks? Original but definately not worthy of a patent. There is nothing substantive in the design or in function.
Design patents not awarded for humor are a reflection of comerciality and functional patents should be shown to be truly and completely original.
I agree that this wouldn't make sense for a Pixar size studio... but what about some indy? This sounds like a real opportunity to get into the business.
When was the last time you saw 3 good movies in a row, 3 good epics in a row, 3 epics by one director with a cast of hundreds in a row? This is not a movie, or an epic. New Line cinema took a chance. If you agree with what the cinematic world has considered good and praiseworthy then this movie is a flop. New Line and Peter Jackson threw out all concepts of movie making and built Theatrical Story telling. LOTR is not a conventional book... the frames, the pace, and continuity gets a jolt from both Jackson and Tolkien, thow out convention and read! - don't watch the movie, watch the story... enjoy the world of Middle Earth, a disjointed mix of people places and events that are not streamlined for your viewing pleasure, ending in a climax of violence without result, disaster without rebuilding. Go watch Independance day or some other joke of a story / kick butt movie.
Where is the Camo? - the stealth anything? Put me in a big reflective surface vehicle in the middle of a battle - NOT - is the V in the grill for anything other than promoting the Escalade? I have no doubt that they will scrap all hummers for more nodules on the back of this rig, and a big nod from GM... next year... the BrainRig3.5 from Ford, it is an Excursion/Halftrack with sun roof and short range nuclear weapons, a refueling station for personal jetpacks/Flame throwers.

ARMY'S NEW SMARTRUCK VEHICLE ADAPTS TO COUNTERTERRORISM AND HOMELAND SECURITY MISSIONS
DETROIT - Jan. 7, 2003 - The Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command's National Automotive Center (NAC) today unveiled SmarTruck II, a versatile prototype, multi-purpose vehicle capable of both counterterrorism support and homeland security for a variety of community service and humanitarian aid missions.
The technology-laden vehicle introduces several new electronic and communications technologies, including a Pointer remotely controlled electric Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV), advanced SPIKE pinpoint laser-guided missile, 360-degree video cameras, four integrated state-of-the-art global communications systems and a unique hyperbolic interactive website for data acquisition.
Built on a modified Chevrolet Silverado platform, this innovative 6x6 all-wheel drive vehicle is engineered to meet military, homeland security, counterterrorism and municipal government challenges in a post-Sept. 11 environment. SmarTruck II packs a bevy of electronically intelligent devices, state-of-the-art global communication systems and weapon options that will give its crew some crucial mission advantages.
"SmarTruck II is a multi-purpose vehicle for what are, in reality, 'multi-purpose' missions. This unique vehicle is now ready and able to meet those challenges facing local, state and federal agencies," said Dennis J. Wend, executive director of the NAC. "If you don't know exactly what you need, what's the next best thing? A modular vehicle that can become anything you want it to be."
SmarTruck II incorporates an interchangeable mobile applications system. The system consists of a heavy-duty stainless steel receiver frame that accepts multiple combinations of new special applications modules/pods. These interchangeable pods can be configured to perform a wide range of military missions or homeland security activities. The vehicle can be quickly adapted to meet any mission requirement.
"Beyond the military role, SmarTruck II can be configured for homeland security, community service and humanitarian aid applications such as disaster relief, medical response, surveillance, field kitchen, water purification, wide area lighting, water pump and as a command and control center," commented Wend.
Technology Enhancements
SmarTruck II puts advanced technology directly into the hands of our nation's defenders and first responders. The vehicle can be configured based on one of four specialized ModuloTM modules: Base Power Module, Electro Optics Module, Weapons Module Pad with SPIKE missile launcher demonstrator, and Integrated Communications Module with Crew Intercom systems.
POINTER is an electric UAV hand-launched through the OnePictureTM Integrated command and control console, which enables real-time video transmission from vehicle to pilot and observer on the ground. Optional chemical and environment monitoring payloads are also available through the POINTER UAV, equipping SmarTruck II to handle other applications such as air pollution sensing and chemical weapons detection.
SPIKE, a low-cost, man-packable, fire-and-forget guided missile and launcher system, can fire two missiles simultaneously, either at the same target or at independent targets. SmarTruck II incorporates a 48-round magazine into the weapons module, supplying reloads to vehicle launching systems or shoulder-fired launchers.
The innovative Hyperbolic WEB display provides multi-dimensional data acquisition capability, sifting through large amounts of hierarchical information to give the user the most accurate inside view of a particular subject. The hyperbolic display also provides an integrated "Hacker-in-a-Box" suite of electronic tools, which allows a Homeland Defense vehicle to respond to a hostile online threat.
The 3D Mapping capability, integrated into the OnePictureTM operator console, allows the user to better manipulate maps, storing real-time images with video data-links in order to update terrain images on the fly. A long range Electro Optics Module includes a high power (50X) zoom video system with thermal imaging and surveillance radar, which can detect moving objects within 7km of the vehicle. Finally, a LED Messaging System enables precise infrared spectrum communication from a lead vehicle through its taillights to trailing vehicles in a convoy, displaying information such as speed, turning, braking and distance between vehicles.
The SmarTruck II project is collaborative effort between the NAC, Integrated Concepts & Research Corporation (ICRC) of Alexandria, VA and Applied Minds, Inc. of Glendale, CA.
The National Automotive Center is the Army's official link to working with commercial and academic partners to create vehicles that will give the Army the mobility, survivability and agility it needs to operate efficiently and effectively in today's new threat environment. For the military, the NAC's partnership approach makes it possible to improve vehicle performance, safety and endurance while reducing design, manufacturing, operations and maintenance costs. For commercial partners, the application of jointly developed technologies has similar impacts-safer cars and trucks, more advanced technology available to the consumer and lower cost because of the broader market base.

Well said! Many evolutionists have deitized a theory
Either There is a first cause... or the first cause was no cause causing itself by accident?
That isn't the question. Is your god Evolution?

Why couldn't God have created Evolution? This is the most plausible solution. The two ideas are not diametrically opposed.
