Bad idea. I work for an aerospace company and depending on what project is going on, some programs or simulations end up being run for multiple days at a time. I know in several cases it's more efficent to leave the computer running the program all night or all weekend and then checking the results later.
How is Watson's classic conditioning study on Little Albert not mentioned? Watson took an 11 month old, and conditioned him to be afraid of a white rat. Albert later generalized his reaction so much that he later showed fear to anything that was white.
As far as lower non graphing calculators go, I own a Casio fx-115MS. This is one of the few calculators allowed for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, which is why I ended up buying it in the first place. (Taking the FE was a college graduation requirement). They don't allow any calculator that has an alphanumeric keypad on the exam.
Most of the time you're not going to need the graphing functions on a graphing calculator anyway. The casio cost me around $20-30.
I don't like it at all. Being mildy claustrophobic, if I have to have an MRI done, I go in after taking 2 meds for me to relax while they do the exam. It still bothers me, even with the med, but I manage to stay still enough for them to get good results.
How much is that medication going to affect this exam? Another thing, if I'm nervous and can't handle being in the machine that well anyway, those places of activity indicating stress are going to show high activity no matter what. Would there even be enough of a difference between the truth and lie to make an reasonable determination? Also, I get more and more anxious the longer I'm in the tube, so as the test goes, those activity centers are going to get more active as time goes on.
If you're curious, and feel that you can sit through another Michael Moore Movie, try watching Bowling for Columbine. He investigates gun violence in the US as opposed to Canada a bit.

You mean he's not going to sit around and just do nothing?
Oddly enough, one of my teachers in grade school had a first name of Barbie, and her husband's first name was acutally Ken. Their last name was something I've forgotten, unforunately...
I find it interesting that reinstating the draft made this list. I submitted a story to Slashdot with links to the current draft reinstatement bills that were being debated in the house and in the senate several months ago.
The story was rejected.
I can't remember if the provisions for drafting personnel with technical skills has acutally been put into place, but I know it was going to be added at some point.
Unforunately, I don't recall which Indian tribe it is, but I remember reading that Yucca Mountain is a sacred place to that particular indian tribe (might be an indian burial ground as well).
I'm pretty sure that tribe has been doing their best to make sure that Yucca Mountain does not become a nuclear waste repository. Also, you've got the typical "build it, but not in my backyard" politics going on, so locals really don't want it there either.
If you're going to be concerned about nuclear waste, I would be more concerned about what is happening with Chernobyl. Last time I saw something about it (I believe it was on the discovery channel, about 2 or three years ago), the concrete casing covering chernobyl is leaking, and since radiation is leaking into the concrete, the concrete is slowly breaking down.
Russia (I don't know exactly which country contains Chernobyl now, but I will keep referring to it as Russia) was supposed to do something about this, but nothing has really happened. I believe the blurb on the Discovery channel had to do with the fact that the country doesn't have enough money or staff to handle proper cleanup, and even though it can easily affect most of europe, nobody wants to contribute money or spend time cleaning it up.
I feel stupid, but I'm not getting the slang here for Blackberry.
To me, a blackberry is a "fruit" and it grows on a bush. Techinically it's not a fruit, but to everybody else, a blackberry is treated as a fruit, and you know, it's black, it's a fruit, and you eat it.
Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, but I can't see The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch being made into a movie the general public will understand. I'm not sure it could be any sort of hit either (not that it has to be).
I read that as a novel in an upper division college English class (basically, history of science fiction).
There are so many different layers of "reality" in that book. Granted, you could write a screenplay, cast people and put it together with a lot of different sets, but I don't think that the audience will really understand the main character.
I don't know. I haven't read A Scanner Darkly, but I've read several other works by Philip K. Dick.
Tower wars games can be played by either gender, and are extremely popular online.
However, a few of those games are "group defend" in which sometimes you just get sick of the immaturity levels. Occasionally, you get all really good group.
There are the solo games like the Islands TD map.
Then there's the 5 billion versions of line tower wars, half of which seem to be hacked in some way, or at least people accuse others of being hacking. Get a good version of line tower wars and you're well set.
Then there are a few other games like Poker TD, where you play poker, you compete with other players for more money on who wins the hand, but your individual towers deal with you leaking. Once you run out of money, you die.
Of course then you've got the other custom map games, like LOTR.
I have a common enough first name, but it's just spelled differently. My name is Emmalee. It's just a variant of Emily. I am adopted, so my parents decided to incorporate my original name into the name they gave me.
I like my name, I just have to spell it for somebody whenever I do anything like setting up accounts, ordering things, etc. (Unforunately I have one of those extremely common last names, so if I don't spell my name for you at work, you'll probably call or email the wrong person.)
It's rather annoying after a while. People also stumble over it from time to time. I usually end up spelling my first name two or three times for whoever it is that I'm talking to. People want to do this: Emmilee, Emalee or Emma Lee. Sometimes people even pronouce it wrong. My name does not have a space in it!
This may be April Fool's, but giving your child a l337 name is a bad idea.
If you are too heavily addicted to something, going cold turkey can cuase you massive problems.
As an example, alcoholics have serious problems when they do this. They become seriously ill. Whenever your body is dependant on something, you're going to have to deal with the side effects.
Depending on how addicted you are to caffiene, you will be getting headaches from the loss. I wouldn't consider myself heavily addicted, and I know I will get headache if I don't have any caffine at all for couple days.
Hey, I found a house for sale in New York for $3000. Yes, three thousand, not 300 thousand, and it wasn't a typo.
It's amusing when you feel like you have no money, yet you could buy a house in new york for the money sitting in your bank account.
I would NOT have wanted to live in the house, however. I saw pictures of house, and it was falling apart everywhere. I don't know what kind of neighborhood the land was in either. So, basically if you bought the place, you bought the lot the house was on.
I don't know how many other people who read Slashdot really went to see the last samurai.
Before I get totally flamed here, I want to say that I have seen all 3 LOTR movies more than once in the movie theater, I have read the books and I own the extended version DVD's. I can see it getting best picture, sound, and directing (possibly a few others, but those are the ones I remember and can really see it getting).
I also want to state that I'm sticking to the nominations for Best Supporting Actor that were listed.
Admittedly, in the last samurai it's rather hard to let go of the fact that the samurai are doomed, but Ken Watanabe who plays the leader of the samurai village gives a truly convincing role.
As an actor in this role, what he brings to this role comes across better to me, than Sean Austin as Sam. Sean Austin does a great performance of Sam, but Ken Watanabe's role (some of which could simply be good writing) gives a better sense of why his character is the way that he is and why he does these things.
I also feel that sound should definitely go to LOTR:RoK rather than the last samurai since I felt that the music in the last samurai was a little overdone in places, but it was done well.
I think that the last samurai should win something. Out of the movies I saw on the lists, I saw 4 of them, all of which are nominated for several categories.
Depp did do the teeth, or at least the one that's gold. He went and had a bunch of teeth capped with gold since he really wanted that to go into his role in the movie. After having it done, it was agreed that it should go into the movie and a few teeth were changed, but at least one gold tooth was left in.
I hope that's just a statement and not a recommendation. I know that Mechanical engineering (as far as engineering wise) is where a lot of new hires are going right now.
I wonder, are electrical engineering jobs still suffering from tech boom days? There were a lot of people I saw in my classes that wanted to go into EE becuase it made good money and it was a really hot job market at the time.
I can't stand running for exercise. Running also seriously kills my knees.
I'd be interested in taking suggestions for more and/or different exercises that are low impact.
I'm not really horribly out of shape, but I know I need to exercise more.
Unforunately, due to a horse riding accident when I was younger, I go to a chiropractor once a month. I also managed to damage my knee in a downhill skiing accident a few years earlier, so anything that's rough on the knees I can't take for very long. Both of these have seriously affected the way I try to plan exercise now. (I don't ride anymore, and I don't live in a state where it snows.)
At the moment, I've got pilates, and I've been told that swimming would work out well for me.
One of the guys I know recently bought one of the large trampoleans. I doubt it's the way you really want to go, but it's another way of having fun when you exercise. My roommate has decided that she's going to just go jump on my friend's trampolean for some exercise (she's got other things she does as well). It's fun and you will end up working on your legs.
I don't know how many people really know this, but pilates is also a good workout. Pilates (for those that don't know) is something like a combination of ballet and yoga. It's very low impact, and it's like muscle toning. It's like doing stretches. Just be careful not to over do it, since it's such a low impact. (I've accidently overdone once, my abs were killing me for a couple of days.)
There are also things out there like Kempo. Kempo is basically learning swordfighting. It's a Korean Martial Art. You could even take up fencing if you really wanted to. You can also try to search for something along those lines.
Even if you do nothing more than stretch for 20 mins, you'll improve flexibility and you might even start to feel better, and think that you're improving yourself.

Even if you do nothing more than stretch for 20 mins, you'll improve flexibility and you might even start to feel better, and think that you're improving yourself.
