    I had no sexual desire. This was medical, prostate health.,

    This thread is full of WIN. My first thought was Batman, No superhuman abilities, strictly devices. But, Wile E. Coyote, an example of the total failure of technology.

    than what Intel cooked up back in the mid-2K's. A board with a PC and wireless connectivity. Almost as bad as branding with Disney.

    UK MOD to spend 20 million Pounds on toy sized drones which will then be added to every McHappy meal sold in the UK so that they can watch the not quite toy sized British youth.

    Came here to say that about my pump house. It's 4 F. tonight and a CFL will only give the crazy squirrel living in there a reading light.
    Also, the weed reference, I agree.

    Why don't you come out behind your AC shadow and show your face?
    When someone hides behind a AC, It tells me they don't really have any convictions.

    The real damage is caused by the presentation of crackpot ideas to young students unarmed with critical thinking skills and that they will be influenced by this pap.

    This was from IEEE pub, I think I was stoned when I read it, YMMV

  24. Re:It sounds like on Research Finds That Electric Fields Help Neurons Fire · · Score: 2

    This was about 2000, A FPGA was used in a non-digital mode to recognize different frequencies, if I remember correctly, One or 2 frequencies.
    A evolutionary program at first shotgunning until results appeared, then tuned the FPGA to refine the pseudo-random / directed
    programming fed to the gate array, From what I had read, The guidance program had no knowledge of the underlying architecture
    If the FPGA returned anything that agreed with the expected results, That programming was used for further iterations.
    The OP was correct, even inactive and unconnected elements influenced the output.
    It was an amusing and probably dead end experiment. I have heard nothing since these experiments were performed.

  25. Re:Time to Godwin on Senator Wyden Asks DHS To Explain Domain Seizures · · Score: 1

    Oregon has terrible land use laws. Other than the state land use laws to protect farm land from development (that worked well, with development all down the Willamette valley), most of this historical preservation crap comes from local govs. and the outsiders calling the shots that moved here in the 70-80 from northern cal. I can relate, My family owned 40 acres outside Turner, The smallest parcel that could be sold was 20 acres and non-farm structures (a house) could not be built on the property.
