No, he very specifically wrote about the replacement of blood as a means of attaining longevity for those who were not genetically contrived to be long-lived.
Not only that, he described growing (cloning) blood to do so in his 1940's story.
There are versions of Keepass available for both the iPhone and Android (perhaps others as well). I use DropBox to keep my phone and main computers in sync.
Works like a champ!
Paramount, not Disney, first used the VistaVision format.
The advantage of using a larger format, such as VistaVision or 65MM, was the greater detail captured on the larger negative. That allowed the copying required to produce the effects shots to still retain the same quality as the original 35MM non-effect filming
The more stable image was also helpful, but not the primary reason to go with a larger format.
One interesting aspect of the results was that based on their data and formatting seven of the infected storage devices belonged to Mac OS X users or had been extensively used under this OS.
Which means that those USB drives had been plugged in to a Windows machine at least once.
I worked for a company with many long-term contractors working on-site. One day management decided that providing corporate email for them was too expensive (the "play money" charge was $16/month per consultant). So, management declared that all consultants would have to provide their own email.
Of course, this meant that all our corporate email messages were now going out over Gmail and AOL mail and Hotmail and other less than secure systems. But management was oblivious.
Eventually, they figured out that as long as they were doing this, they had no control over their corporate communications. Even worse, they were leaving a very poor image with other businesses, since many of these consultants were in regular communications with business partners, and using their "goofy@hotmail.com" email addresses instead of a corporate email address.
No, I'm pretty sure it was the higher subscription cost.
Not in my case.
I had cable and Netflix for awhile. I would have kept both, because Netflix was inexpensive enough for me to disregard. However, when what's-his-name told me I should give up a couple of lattes in order to pay him, I immediately decided that I didn't want to do business with him or his company any more.
I quit Netflix to send a message to them, and every other media company, that they won't get any money from me if they mistreat me.
Even more significant than the changes in the "history" of that fictional universe in the subsequent decade is the fact that the movie killed off two of the major characters
That, more than anything, would be why a new series wouldn't work.
Minix was my first experience with a Unix-like OS (on my original IBM Personal Computer).
It was a wonderful starting point to lead on to bigger and better things.
I took the liberty of looking some things up, and it may surprise you to learn that the cast of TV shows does indeed age with the passage of time. Firefly was nearly 10 years ago, so everyone is now 10 years older. It's funny how that works isn't it.
impo, this doesn't offer much more than taking brief notes, and noting the time when the key information comes out by writing the time showing on the recorder next to the note. This lets you jump back to the key points (and is a much less expensive strategy).
I would consider it well worth it for the convenience of not having to deal with a separate recorder, not having to write down the elapsed time from the recorder with each note, and not having to rewind/fast-forward to find the audio associated with each note (assuming I remembered to make note of the elapsed time).
Being able to just tap the note and have the audio instantly available seems like a really nice feature!
As I said, I haven't used it. But I find it interesting that everyone who commented on this article about the LiveScribe pen seem to like it a lot. It's only people who haven't tried it that seem to have a negative opinion of it.
If you consider the cost of the pen and special paper excessive, then you probably won't consider any other technology more elaborate than pencil and paper to be appropriate. And that's fine. Pencil and paper have worked for a lot of people for a long time. And they never run out of power at the most inconvenient time.
Last I looked, those required special, expensive paper. You can print your own, but judging from some Amazon reviews, that doesn't sound terribly convenient either.
OK, but expensive compared to what? This pen is about $100, compared to an iPad for $500+. You could buy a lot of special paper for the cost of an iPad.
It's certainly a special-purpose device, but if it matches your needs, it would be a bargain. I'm not currently spending any time in meetings, or other activities where I have to take notes, but if I find myself back in that type of environment again, I will almost certainly pick up one of these, especially given the good reviews I've read in this thread by the people who have actually used one.
I still miss my Palm Pilots (I had most of the different models from the very early U.S. Robotics version). I haven't found any hardware/software combination that worked as well as a PDA and note-taker.
In particular, I could "Graffiti" about as quickly as I could write, so the Palm was a very effective way of taking notes, which I could then access from my computer.
I've never used one, but it seems like a good idea to me. In particular is the ability to hear the recording at the time a note was taken. That way, the notes don't have to be much more than a way to "fast forward" the the relevant part of the lecture.
On Mac OSX, Numbers, Pages and Keynote can do most of what Office can do at a fraction of the price. I used Numbers the other day to convert an Excel spreadsheet that a Windows user couldn't open (because he didn't have the software for XML Excel).
OTOH, OO has never rendered my resume perfectly. On those occasions when I've used OO to update my resume, I then had to open it in genuine MS-Word to fix the little formatting glitches. If I have to do that, it makes more sense to just use MS Office. (Although, I'm currently using Office 11 for Mac, which means I don't have to put up with Windows!)
I hate having to rely on MS Office, but I don't get to choose what software is used by the people receiving my work. About 99% of them have chosen MS Office (for whatever reason), and I can't ignore that.

Okay, let me see you do realtime waveform analysis in plain text.
That's what I thought.
And you're running your realtime waveform analysis on a server why ?

I'll bet Hugo Drax could!
I can actually do this 6 hour job in just over an hour.
Another way of saying that is that the average mechanic stretches out a 1 hour job for 6 hours.

The difference is those movies took place well after the events of TOS. This would be making Firefly Season 2 picking up where Season 1 left off.
Why would new Firefly episodes have to pick up where the old ones left off?

That didn't stop the original cast of Star Trek!
The collective of goats is "trip", not "flock". You sacrificed a trip of goats.
Yes, I often get "flocked" up by that!"

How many people for example are aware of Slashdot's TOS that states you have to sacrifice a goat once a week if you disable ads.
Think I'm joking?
I am-
Man! I wish I had read your entire post before sacrificing this flock of goats!
This!

How about something like this: Livescribe Pen?
