Reading his paper reveals that the hologram in use is an interference pattern taken from a live subject, then immediately read into the computer. It is not a 3DTV holo that floats in your living room for you to watch.
Still awesomely cool though. Why did evolution never invent this method to let human vision capture depth more directly?
You have failed to understand him. He DOES trust his friends with the pictures. He wants to prevent his FUTURE EMPLOYER from seeing them. Therefore he makes the pictures available only to his friends, not to everyone on Facebook. XPire Not Required.
Which leads to the question: why not just use Facebook directly? (And the alternate question: why hasn't someone tied together Facebook and a dating service yet? Seems like an obvious connection.)
Do not confuse the subjects Heinlein wrote about with his own beliefs about proper behavior. He wrote about cannibalism too, ya know. And dumping teenagers on remote planets, with survival gear, so they can get killed by beasts or by each other.
I'm not sure this is correct for international flights; you have to go through customs if your origin was outside the US. But perhaps that's only if you are at your final destination?
Einstein seized the moment, “Look, Old One”, he said, “physics is local. You made it that way; I figured it out. But why is there that spooky action-at-a-distance nonlocality in quantum mechanics?”
God chuckled. Even experiencing all of spacetime at once, such events were rare. “Albert, your greatest talent has always been not finding the right answer—anybody could do that—but asking the right question. Your generation learned physics assuming I was a great watchmaker; you destroyed that notion, but most of you died off before it became evident what I was. I create abstract systems from pure information, Albert. I'm a programmer.

This is somewhat beside the point. The original question was whether encrypted data could be distinguished from random data. The social surroundings of that question are not part of the question.
Why did I get 10 scornful responses from musicians? Is all content music? Do you musicians honestly believe that it is as easy to write a game or novel or screenplay, or produce a TV show or a movie, as it is to lay down some tracks? Music is EASY compared to the rest. Music comes from your highly trained muscle memory and your limbic system. There's practically no thinking involved at all.
Get this through your head: The cost of maintaining a distribution network -- be it servers in a data center, theaters in malls across the country, or warehouses and trucks -- far exceeds the cost of manufacturing a physical article in bulk. And the cost of CREATING content exceeds them both.
I think there's a line to be drawn; and the place to draw that line is at the beginning of the 4-year undergraduate degree classes. Would you let a student in a German (language) class have access to a vocabulary list for a quiz on the poems of Goethe? Or a student in a political science class have access to a detailed history of the Thirty Years War for an examination on European interactions? Why should physical sciences and math courses be different? There's a few hundred ccs of grey and white matter between the student's ears. Let him USE THEM.
When it comes to meat, however, the literature seems to support your contention that the tissues of raw meat are equally if not more digestible than cooked meats in most cases. However, raw meat is sometimes harder to chew, which can make a sizeable difference. (Sometimes it is not harder to chew; it depends on the meat. Organ meats are not as tough as muscle meat; chicken is not as tough as beef.) If the calories expended in chewing up the meat exceed the digestion benefits of the raw meat, then cooking the meat is still an advantage. And it is always an advantage for those whose teeth are not strong. Finally, cooking meat can render it safer by killing bacteria; the digestibility of the tissues is not of much concern to someone dying from trichinosis.
The major part of potato carbohydrate is present as starch. The digestibility of cooked and uncooked starches from various foods including potato has been reviewed by Dreher et al. (1984), who placed potato starch in the group of least digestible food starches. There have been various experiments in which raw potato starch was fed to humans and caused symptoms such as violent stomach cramps (McCay et al., 1975), and such preparations cause caecal hyperotrophy and death in rats (El-Harith et al., 1976). The latter effects were subsequently attributed to the resistance of potato starch to digestion by pancreatic amylase (Walker & El-Harith, 1978), and were lost when the starch was gelatinized.
Cooking either peeled or unpeeled potatoes increases the digestibility of potato starch. The results of a study in vitro with pancreatic amylase into the effects of cooking potatoes on starch digestibility (Hellendoorn et al., 1970) are shown in Figure 4.5. Raw starch was barely digested; partly cooked starch from potatoes heated in water at 70 C for 20 min and cooled immediately was incompletely digestible, and the digestibility of the starch increased with cooking time.
There's something screwy about this. The DSM-IV(TR) is *not* Wikipedia. Did the prosecutor actually cite Wikipedia instead of citing the DSM-IV(TR)?
If this was a US case, I'd try to find the court documents (from the original case and from the appeal) on PACER. But TFA is from "The Philippine Daily Inquirer" -- this isn't even a US case???
You conveniently omit "languages" -- really, glorified macro platforms -- like ASP and ColdFusion, which were a big if not bigger influence on PHP than Perl ever was. And ASP was... guess who? Microsoft.

Whatever happened to flywheels for energy storage? Popular Science couldn't shut up about them 40 years ago. Example: http://3.ly/Ccxs

Maybe he was just stating a fact. He did say "Its not DDoS" after all.

The distinction between academe and "real life" is made with good reason. No notes for students is not a draconian policy.
See "Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance", John Varley, 1976.

Sigh. At the time I posted, TFA was slashdotted and unavailable, so I couldn't see it.
