Human Body Network Gets Fast
Technology Research News October 17, 2003
The human body is capable of many things, including acting as an information conduit--quite literally. Researchers from NTT Docomo Multimedia Labs and NTT Microsystem Integration Labs in Japan have demonstrated a 10-megabits-per-second indoor network that uses human bodies as portable ethernet cables. The network, dubbed ElectAura-Net, is wireless, but instead of using radio waves, infrared light, or microwaves to transmit information it uses a combination of the electric field that emanates from humans and a similar field emanating from special floor tiles. The network is faster than commercially available personal area networks like the 1-megabit-per-second Bluetooth radio wave system, and tops the 4-megabits-per-second infrared standard set by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). The system could eventually provide high-speed wireless communications indoors among portable electronic devices whose positions constantly change. The researchers' transceiver transmits data by oscillating the electric field surrounding the device. When the electric field that naturally emanates from a person intersects the electric field of the nearest tile transceiver, oscillations in one field are transmitted to the other. The researchers presented the work at the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group Graphics (Siggraph) 2003 conference in San Diego, July 27 to 31. The research was funded by NTT DoCoMo and NTT.
I read it as "We can't track your vote if you don't log in.", 'cos that's what it says. What would be the point in voting if they can't keep a record of it?:)
To keep track we ask that you please log in to your O'Reilly Network account. I think this was plenty warning, and if you'd read it carefully you would have relised you were being _politely_ being told that if you don't log in, you can't vote.
Hmmm. So the British never invaded Ireland and the Irish have never waged civil wars in an attempt to assert independence? This "architectural spire" rule is lamer than the war between the Irish protestants and catholics. Or the Brits and the Irish. Which means the current war, if you wanted to mean the war that happened a while ago, why didn't you say so? I think you actually thought there was a war between us at the moment.
Hey. At least I'm not the guy arguing that Guinness isn't Irish. Actually, all I said was: It's brewed in Manchester... On the other hand... you were the one thinking that England was at war with Ireland, something I find absolutely astounding.

We Australians have great beer, foreign chicks dig our macho stigma and we will kick anyones arse in cricket Us British have guinness, girls with large breasts, foreign chicks dig our strange eccentricity and we will kick anyone's arse in snooker.
On Skyscrapers.com it says 'The final section of the spire was put in place October 9, 2003, thus giving Taipei 101 the official world's tallest building title.', yet at the top of the page it says: Year (end) 2004, how come?
I don't understand why adding a pole or whatever to the top of the building means it's a bigger building. How about if they just made a really big pole, would that be the new biggest building in the world?
has a similar artical, but with the Tom's Hardware you have this quote: 'He indicated that there are also plans to include Win FS in the Windows Server 2003 generation.' This certainly interested me, because if it's any good, this could completley change the Server market, providing much need competition.
According to Muglia, the new filesystem will not replace NTFS, but will incorporate feratures of NTFS It's an 'update' of NTFS, like FAT32 is an 'update' of FAT16.
From airport terminals decorated like Starbucks to the popularity of hair dye among teenage boys, one thing is clear: we have entered the Age of Aesthetics. Sensory appeals are everywhere, and they are intensifying, radically changing how Americans live and work.
We expect every strip mall and city block to offer designer coffee, a copy shop with do-it-yourself graphics workstations, and a nail salon for manicures on demand. Every startup, product, or public space calls for an aesthetic touch, which gives us more choices, and more responsibility. By now, we all rely on style to express identity. And aesthetics has become too important to be left to the aesthetes.
In this penetrating, keenly observed book, Virginia Postrel shows that the "look and feel" of people, places, and things are more important than we think. Aesthetic pleasure taps deep human instincts and is essential for creativity and growth. Drawing from fields as diverse as fashion, real estate, politics, design, and economics, Postrel deftly chronicles our culture's aesthetic imperative and argues persuasively that it is a vital component of a healthy, forward-looking society.
Intelligent, incisive, and thought provoking, The Substance of Style is a groundbreaking portrait of the democratization of taste and a brilliant examination of the way we live now.

Never mind that there is no "war" going on between Irish catholics and protestants either
That's a holy war, and is completely different.
Where's Mozilla

It appears this Corporation has been set up specifically to construct the building, but I wonder whether they will be operating it in the future?

Can we at least put a link to the SCO website for every artical posted? Maybe that'll slow them down.

Who the hell is Bernstein?
I'm as confused as you, but I did find this, which is apparantly his website.
But if they change their mind and start harassing Internet-security researchers, I'll be back.
Or does that sound like a threat?

I think Apple might be doing a Netscape by bloating their OS, I think they have to remember updates sometime AREN'T good things.
