  1. Re:How big of a rocket? on Evaluating the Capabilities of Chip-Sized Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    To quote their PDF "There is also the issue that brain research has advanced but we are not too concerned with the dissection of the signals into specific origins of neuronal / muscular groups, rather, as mentioned above, it is the synergism of all physiological activities that is the critical signal we are trying to read and understand to the point where we can use it." http://www.ocztechnology.com/files/misc_products/NIA_complete_English.pdf also "The new headbands we are using embrace sensors based on carbon nanofibers that are about 100 times more sensitive than older technology. This allows for a much wider dynamic range and also to pick up signals that were completely masked in previous approaches and that makes the use much more intuitive and easier."

  4. it's the deterrent factor not for solving crimes on 10,000 Cameras Ineffective At Deterring Crime · · Score: 1

    I leave the mail in a folder based on the Sent By information. I then link to it from several contact and todo records in Outlook. This allows me to be extremely flexible.
