I can produce a PNG with my brain. I do it all the time. I can even create perfect pixel to pixel accuracy. I need some graph paper or computer program to record this PNG that I produce, however.
There's so much confusion about global warming now I feel like just telling people to shut up for 10 years until they get their stories straight. And maybe pick a different name. I just read an article that global warming isn't really a good description of what's going to be going on. Supposedly. Now, some air pollution causes global warming but also air pollution prevents global warming, so what? huh?
This is my kinda computing. Etch that data in stone! Nwo they could just make me a computer made entire of stone and steel, with arcane markings etched into all sides, I can start doing my computing with a true view for the long term!
This just in also: 100% of violent criminals drink dihydrogen monoxide at young age, inhale/exhale regularly, consume vast quantities of carbohydrates throughout childhood, adulthood.
What's all this crap about storing passwords on USB keychains and TryeCrype volumes and whatever else you kids are using these days? I store my passwords in my BRAIN, right next to the phone numbers and addresses. Its unhackable and the blood-brain barrier is very virus-resistant.
How can something become not popular because there are too many of them? Can someone please explain it to me?
Did cars fall from grace because there were too many? Buttons perhaps? Children, are they not popular any longer?
One of the main characters in Otherland is a seasoned MMO player who spends all his time gaming, and only stops playing the game when another sneaky protagonist hacks his game to send him on a quest outside of the game, but still in virtual reality. One of... I emphasize, ONE OF the virtual worlds they all get to is a 100% accurate, realistic, and living ecosystem simulation of Middle Earth, of the Lord of the Rings variety. ONE OTHER of the virtual worlds is a 100% accurate, realistic, and living ecosystem simulation of ancient Egypt, and the entire Nile River Valley. ONE MORE of the virtual worlds is an endless House, with eternal carpeted stairs, bookshelves, rooms, bannisters, roofs, windows, etc etc etc and the characters are about 2 inches tall.
The only way anyone could make anything resembling Outland would be to link all current and future MMOs together inside a great big meta-MMO. I don't see how this would be possible.
Why should a constantly changing publication with no physical media care about notability? If I'm doing research on how many bands in the past 50 years have used the word "death" in the title, would I be able to get this information from Wikipedia? Not right now, because back yard garage bands aren't notable enough for it. But what if I wanted to break it down by multiple-platinum superbands, moderately popular radio-played music bands, and backyard grungefests? Why not just mark the article "not notable" and then offer an option to exclude non-notable articles? Why delete any data at all in this age of 1 terabyte thumb drives?
There is no mention of modern tuning methods in the first article. The article simply says that different orchestras use different frequencies roughly around the same pitch for A. This is not a new thing.
You would expect modern tuning methods to make the official definition of A more exact, thus eliminating the problem spoken about in the article. That's what I thought, and I'm a musician. In fact the standard A4 frequency has been defined as 440 Hz. That means that if you hear the London Philharmonic Orchestra they should be tuned to A4=440 Hz, and the Timbuktu Traditional Blowpipe Ensemble should also be tuned to A4=440Hz, because its easy to carry around a pocket piece of electronics to make a perfect 440 Hz sound.
BUT
This article does not say that. In fact it says that different orchestras all over the world still are not in sync, which has been the case for ALL OF RECORDED HISTORY. The article says that because of this phenomenon, even those who can hear absolute pitch are confused as to what name they should give the frequencies immediately around 440Hz because of the variations. This is not new, or news, or related to technology in any way. Its just a fact of life.
I would like to propose that the federal government cannot protect children, and that it should not even consider protecting children. It should delegate such responsibilities to the parents of said children, in the same way that it delegates the care and feeding of children to them. Why? Because the federal government is the most inefficient and bureaucratic mess on the face of the earth, and children must be protected efficiently and without red tape.
I just want to let the record show that I TOTALLY called this in Biology 110 back in 1997. "What," said I to myself, "our genetic code, the code that cells go through the ultimate of pains to pass on in billions of generations across many years, is mostly junk? Bullshit!" Turns out I'm right. BOOYAH!
But does this help or hinder the argument for evolution? I thought junk DNA was supposed to be the byproduct of the evolutionary process. No junk DNA would seem to indicate more of an overall design to the system, no?
Its just this type of pseudoscientific tale-spinning that I really hate, because what is the difference between this and a myth about a god-king feeding garlic to a bear and it turning into a woman (Korean origin myth)? NOTHING. They are both idealistic tales spun out of thin air in order to reinforce current beliefs about origins that nobody is sure of. How do you know that we all lived in small tribes way back when? What's wrong with spinning tales of great cities destroyed time and again in a steady march back into antiquity? The two are equivalent.
Its not Tree of Knowledge, as in knowledge was bad. Its the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, a very specific kind of knowledge, as in knowing that there is an alternative to Good is bad. Its a recurisvely-named tree. It is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Don't eat of it, or you will gain the knowledge of Good and Evil. Evil is going against the command of not eating from the tree. So if you go against the command of not eating the tree, you will know what evil is.
yeah, but these Americans are the ones wearing body armor and trained in the use of automatic weapons. Its better for the terrorists to try to attack them than it is to try to attack Jane, mother of four, part-time receptionist downtown, skilled in the use of elevators and fountain pens.

At least one of those photos is a fake. Well, not fake, but not the Hynix plant burning. The best photo is actually a picture of Beijing's CCTV headquarters burning in 2009. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-02/09/content_10790640.htm
you mean steganography right?

Well its not an implant, but there are little wearable devices that have been made in South Korea which can monitor your vitals, with more in development. Here's a story about them: http://www.koreaittimes.com/story/ubiquitous-jewelry-keep-you-healthy
what if it turns out that the genome is the same as the human genome? Talk about wasted effort...
Here's another article with a bit more detail, from a Korean news source: http://www.koreaittimes.com/story/korea-plans-gigabit-internet

the proper name for that East India company you're referring to is the DUTCH EAST INDIA COMPANY. That's because it was based in the Netherlands.
Don't you mean supervillainry?
cuz its not you, its a copy of you which has just become your #1 most hated rival?

Does this mean that they drop the silicon from 3 miles up and then try to catch it on their tongues?

just EDIT THE ARTICLE and go on about his merry way?
