In college in one class they taught you how to do this well. The thought was that if someone else wrote it well then use that instead of rewriting your own. There was a project where you had to do the whole thing from "borrowed" code.
This could be a medical breakthrough. There are so many times when you may have spurratic symptoms and when you go see the doctor he can't see any of them. With this he can see when something was happening what was going on. Help send them in a better direction. This could really help people out.
If it's a pop up then my browser will block it like it does the rest. If it's not then I will just ignore it like I do all the rest that are all ready out there. Oh well.
"Many people died colonizing the Americas, but we kept at it until it stuck"
Back when the Americas were colinized death was acceptable where today just 1 death can derail projects. Death is no longer seen as an acceptable loss so safety is something to be taken into high consideration.
"We, as humans, want to learn and explore."
We humans do want to explore but shouldn't we explore what's in our own back yard. This would help us not only learn but let us test our methods before we take a long trek to another planet.
Don't projects work best when you take small steps. In the past first we went to space, then we stayed in space longer, then we finially went to the moon. It makes sense to take steps here. For safety and to be prepared. We should go to the moon before we go on.
Elegance and ease is the key to an effective OS for the masses. It needs to become as elegant as M$ and OSX (or better) to go completely mainstream. If it's not then the average user, like my parents, won't give it a second look.
Suping up cars is old news. Even doing it with chips. But there are some cool things...
You can get an add on kit for a truck that connects up to the sensor inputs to the engine and has a console in the car. It allows you to adjust settings on the fly but telling the sensors certain things. You can run a 12 second quarter or double your torque with the push of a button.
There is a device you can by for any modern car that connects up to the adapter onder the drivers side. It allows you to reprogram the on board computer based on what you want the car to do. It also stors the default program if you ever want to revert back.
If your worried at all I would say go with BSD (specifically FreeBSD). You can do the same things and it's not getting hounded. I know it's hard for people to make that jump but it's a thought. And it's technically pretty easy to make the jump.
This is one time where the rest of the world should not follow the US lead. Don't be sue happy. It's really no good. Look at us. Does the rest of the world really want to end up like this.
Would that work for people that are like us and sit all day. How many tech people would create much kinetic energy. That's like the solr powered coat to recharge your toys. You need to see the light of day to use it. That means all the techie ppl would have to move more then just their fingers.
"I'm thinking more of a way to utilize kinetic energy and translate it into stored power."
The problem is not with the abiliuty to generate the power but a way to efficiently store it with something that is at a reasonable size. Batteries/Power Cells are not moving at a very fast pace compared to the rest of the industry. We can generate all the power in the world but we don't have a small cost effective way to store it yet.
"The more I hear about power and energy issues and American obesity issues, the more I think we'd be served well by installing some kind of human power generator factory similar to a gym, where maybe people going on lots of exercise bikes could charge up portable batteries or something."
All signals are analog. Digital is just a way to manipulate analog for logic. The fact that they found another way to manipulate analog for logic is not suprising. What is suprising is that it has taken this long.
I found a use for this. In breaking up with my really not all there girlfriend. I can send this to her and tell her I got a job there and that I'm sorry but I have to move away. I would love to see her buy into this. She actually would too.

I don't think there will be too much provacy problems. If you have a problem with it then you can just take it off or not wear it in the first place.

But what about that property I bought on the moon. The sooner we get there the sooner I can start building on it.

What can he say, once you go mac you never go back.

Gotta love Michigan where we don't have those pesky inspections. Modup your cars Michiganders.

It is truely quite amazing how far a good (by good I mean good at his/her job) lawyer can get on threats alone. I am really quite in awe.
Imagine all the way spammers could use this. Change it to sentences. They would have a field day with this.

Can anyone say Matrix.
"database data is generally grouped together and read in a big chunk"
It sounds like what your saying is that non database data on a disk is fragmented and that is why the head has to move all over the place.

This sounds completely feasable. I'm suprised it has taken someone this long to do something like this.
I wonder how many legitimate rejected stories there were today????
Come on April 2nd.

It looks legit. I saw the vid and herd commentary.
/. should add to the mod system for april fools day. -1 gullable.
