Eventually, researchers will test the hypothesis by stopping a monkey's hippocampus and bypassing it with the chip. If the animal regains the ability to store new memories, then the chip must have worked.
With all the talk about other parts of the brain taking over for dead/damaged parts... well hell if they can learn some more then they say "YAY the chip worked!"
What would they do for people suffering from Alzheimer's?

As we have progressed in our discovery related to this action, SCO has found compelling evidence that the Linux operating system contains unauthorized SCO UNIX intellectual property (IP). Due to this discovery, we are taking three immediate courses of action..... *snip*.... 2 - The second action we are taking is to suspend all future sales of the Linux operating system from SCO until the attendant risks with Linux are better understood and properly resolved.
that statment says to me that they are afraid that Linux. It threatens their UNIX OS. Sounds to me like they are scrambling to do whatever they can to hurt linux so they can shove THEIR (version of/whatever it is) UNIX up everyones arse's and to shutdown anything that remotely resembles the software they own.
I havent studdied up on SCO cuz from the get-go they seem to be plain idiots and i've had enough laughs for right now, but this just seems like an underhanded way to shut down a growing competitor in the OS market.
Our UNIX products continue to support many of the world's largest businesses. In addition, new customer sales indicate that there is still no better option for rock-solid, dependable technology for their core businesses than our SCO UNIX solutions.
Should I be forced to give up my classic 1974 Chevy Impala because it's not 'up to date'?...because there are newer and more efficient engines available? Why is a computer any different?
upgrading your car & upgrading your box are two totally diffrent things. Your '74 Impala still gets the job done no matter how old it is (as long as it runs the way it should)... it gets you from point A to point B in a resonable amount of time. Your computer on the other hand may not be able to handle the stuff that you want it to do, and therefore an upgrade is necessary to git it to do what yu want it to.
Kinda like if you wanted your Impala to beat a 1000HP+ funnycar that has a Nitrus system. yu just wont win;) or even qualify for that matter (hence the Minimum Specs for GameX to run)
So, they want to find water on the moon eh? by blowing it up eh? Forget "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact", it wont be a Asteroid/Comet coming from deep space that will crash into and totally obliterate the earth & destroy all the life on it with it, it will be our friendly nightime reading companion (yes i have bad vision from reading in the moonlight). What has the moon done to us to deserve this!?! its not like it has a pimple or sumthin we have to pop.
If they want to find water on the moon, go looking for that bottle of Evian that Alan Shepard left behind after playin a few holes of golf.
even if they dont totally knock the moon off its orbit (which they probably wont do with just a few lil probes that use bunker buster tech) the idea of big chunks of moon flying wildly into the earths atmosphere dosnt sound too good either.
"A metamaterial lens "allows focusing almost two orders of magnitude higher than is possible with conventional lenses," explained Claudio Parazzoli, an associate technical fellow of the Boeing (NYSE: BA) Company. With metamaterial lenses, "the amount of information that could be stored on optical media would be vastly increased," Parazzoli told NewsFactor."
So in other words, that small scratch on my cd will fubar 2x or more data than on a regular cd.
(or even as some sort of icon embedded in a task bar, start menu, whatever) you get a "You have a 'Turnip' class PC!"
Sure, do you really trust Microsoft to fairly grade computers with equally powerful hardware, when all a company, say Nvida or ATI, can just dole out a "donation" for a better Veggie Level?
All i know is that i better not have a Brussle Sprout on my fucking desktop!
At least the current system is able to specifically list individual requirements. If, however, you plan to rank individual requirements on a scale of some sort, how does that simplify anything at all?
My Sentiments exactly, its hard enuf for n00bs to understand what a Mhz is. The only thing a new system for categorizing PC hardware/systems will do is just add more confusion and technical terms into an already confounding language (look at how many people HAVE to take a "How To Use Windows*blah*" course). Not to mention ruin the surprise of your mom or dad buying you a new game for your birthday or sumthin, imagine 3 days before your b-day your mom asks: "Hey son, whats your PC 'Game-Rating' level?"
I thought the main reason, aside from the cost, of riding a bike was to help contribute to the prevention of pollution. Now dont git me wrong, i drive my car everywhere and i am far from being a tree huggger, but this is just another reason to skateboard everywhere.
I use to own a goped (a moped without a seat, basically a scooter with a weedwacker engine) and it would get a good 10-15mph, crappy for a goped yes but imagine the crashes at 25+ with no seat to be belted to (as if someone would want to be belted to a mo/goped).
One reason not to get a motorized bike/scooter... Where are you gunna put the 10" subwoofers & amp?!?!
I still can't believe that a legislature actually passed a reasonably effective and useful law, despite the opposition of lobbying groups!
I can't believe that ANY body of lawmakers actually thought this up! I mean coming from the same people that passed the DMCA, this is frikkin amazing!
On Another note, i am reminded of the current law(s) about being able to sue the company for calling after being placed in thier company's "Do-Not-Call list", but its hard to tell them to put you on that list if its a RECORDING that is talking on the other side. I have been plauged by Disney's recorded message several times in the past month & have yelled into the phone "PUT ME ON YOUR DO-NOT-CALL LIST" to no avail. Of course it could be that i just like screaming over the phone at recordings or sumthin.
Is it just me or would this add to the ever expanding potential of ruining your keyboard all over again? And think of the consequences this would have on the ever popular questions "How long is it?"/"How big is it?". Thats right guys! We cant lie about having an 11-incher anymore!
Of course it would dramatically impact the joy of NetMeeting on a new level by actually letting you see how REALLY ugly and fat your "partner" is.
As for Counter-Strike/Quake/UT ect.. nothing is better than actaully feeling the urge to DUCK when a peice of someones skull comes flying at you because of the rocket launcher explosion right behind them;)

ok, i know it wont let you make digital copies, but its one step closer to recording hdtv
You can allways point your digicam at the monitor #;)
The one thing I always think of when playing a first persion shooter is how using arrow keys + mouse is so... unnatural .....
Arrow keys!?!?! mebbe thats why i fragged you so much in Q3! not cuz im sk33led, its cuz you dont know where your hands should go. WASD ALL THE WAY!

heh.. *HORSEPOWER. altho whorepower is better than a horse any day.
Can it run uphill? Small internal combustion motors have very slim power bands, and I didn't see anything about gear shifting, nor a torque assist.>
;)
It dosn't take much horepower to carry a ~150lbs person up a hill, expecially with existing momentum.
just remember its a BIKE, if it starts getting sluggish goin uphill... put your foot back on the pedals and try to get sum assisted excersize
