Dr. Phillipa Uwins, an electron microscopist from Queensland Australia found nanobes less than 100 nanometres big when analysing core samples returned from petrochemical exploration.
It always amazes me when people, without formal education, can accomplish so much.
Yeah, mostly high achievers graduate from Yale and Harvard first and then distinguish themselves by serving their country selflessly before going on to make the world a better, safer place.
While you are taking a break from conscious awareness of the problem, processing continues in localized regions of neurons. This is possible when you have already parsed the problem into distinct components, for example, when the crossword clue is:
Long serving English Monarch, 19th century
_ _ C _ _ R _ A
you mentally establish two threads. The first thread searches your database of English monarchs, isolating values that conform with "long serving 19th Century". Each one of these results (a noun) is then passed to the second thread that checks for conformance with the spelling mask.
The "Eureka moment" is simply when you find a match in the second thread using an output from the first thread. The result is brought into consciousness.
Is it weird that all that preliminary processing can go on in background? No! Just take the first thread in isolation - the database search for English monarch names. Even when you "consciously" search your database for names of English monarchs, only part of your processing is apparent to you (conscious) and that is the end bit - the result. The actual database traversal takes place sub-consciously.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but in the future, fans will be allowed to stay home and access the internet with a computer whilst listening to the game on the radio for free.
Austrailia must not have HOAs (Home Owners Associations) similar to those in the U.S.?
It took ages for my friend from Arizona to explain HOAs to me. At first I thought he was talking about a kind of a vigilante action group. Here we just have a local council of elected officials that make up housing regulations.
They generally let people access the sun using ropes for the purpose of drying their washing.
I noticed recently that in Arizona so few people have clotheslines. It is 100 degrees and sunny for most of the year there, but most people still seem to dry their clothes in the electric clothes dryer.
That approach is not as common in Australia, where we take advantage of 100 degrees of sunshine to get our clothes nice and dry.
With bitmap maps each zoom or pan requires a trip back to the server and a drudgy delay for the user. SVG makes for a better user experience with zoom and pan using one set of data on the client.
And with SVG it is easy to add animations such as a bus or a train onto the map.
BTW, I too often rant to my friends and family about what I consider to be an indication of the fall of western civilization: too many people are caught up in a lust for material possessions - I think that is just another aspect of not living in the moment.
What is? The lust, or your ranting against the lust?
Australia doesn't really have a constitution in the same way that America does. Well, there may be some documents in Canberra but nobody has read them. They weren't written by anyone that anybody knows or cares about.
Australia isn't America, yet.

No but I mean, what if they are terrorists?
What will the good American people do with the 120,000 bad American people, in order to restore the nation to decency?
What if the software is accurate?
What if 120,000 Americans are latent (or blatent) terrorists?
What then?

Maybe they could pay hot chicks to be waiting in a club, and the only way you can get experience points is to talk her into giving you a secret code!
