...and all seem to be stuck at 1.6 so far. Sony Ericsson is even close to the introduction of SE Liveview - small (watch-sized, and also carried on a wrist) display for showing some basic info and performing basic actions, requiring an Android 2.0 device. Well, at least it means they should be close to pushing upgrades.
Certainly it sounds like something intriguing enough to try, given enough free time and a possibility to completely darken the place where one lives. Hm, considering slashdotters & basements... (plus some audio desktop to eliminate monitor, I guess)
Hm, but how does it make sense for the brain to essentially self-destruct - while automatically trying to restart, at a reckless rate, oxygen cellular pathways after some period of its deprivation...unless in severe hypothermia. Then it might be fine.
Adonai seems to be most commonly used at my place recently. Or was it Elohim... (and who knows how many / probably just names of many different ones coalesced into one character)
Hearing certainly, it's way too often that my cat appears to be noticing things which "aren't there" (if anything - behind at least one wall) - but don't you go too far with the rest? "Joker" - everybody involved reinforcing what's good & pleasurable to...everybody; likewise with camera, but a different behavior in different situation; coupled with long presence, full acceptance of the pack, etc.? IIRC cats have problems seeing depth (indeed any meaning) in 2D representations of images the way we do; certainly mine doesn't really appear to react. Maybe too stupid...or maybe just too young / with wrong background (lost 2 month old kitten starting to follow me in the night / apparently finding a new mother figure; recently, almost 1.5 years later, finally weaned off me, so to speak, and escaping for almost 2 weeks in the process; still, posting while she sleeps on my lap)
Or: accidentally leave the cat in the same room as washing machine (preferably a bit old, loud) when it starts its centrifuge thing. Take note if meowing is louder.
But doesn't tell where the high sensitivity regions lay - for us, in practice it sort of tops out at around 7 KHz. Now, without checking - cats certainly use their hearing to track rodents, are probably quite sensitive to their constant squeaks; of the type which we typically can't hear at all.
If only they would enable (essentially...) few of the more straightforward and basic bluetooth profiles - for example net access via BT; no, not what strikes people first when they hear "iPhone tethering" - would be nice to have iOS gaining access via BT and one of so called "feature phones." Which would suddenly make iPod Touch virtually as good as iPhone to quite a few people and for much better price. And why Apple won't do it.
(yes, there's WiFi - but a phone working as such access point will typically drain its batteries much faster, and is not one of the most basic and inexpensive ones anymore)
If that's due to costs, it must be largely a result of artificial product stratification / "options"...
HUD speed display is easy & inexpensive - if the car uses miles, all you need in almost all cases is two very bright 7-segment numeric displays, hidden at the top of the dashboard and reflecting in the windscreen. Status lights are even easier. Still limiting options to simple & easy ones - arrows coupled to GPS and showing how hard and in which direction (plus perhaps how far by some shrinking column) the next turn is might be interesting.
Unless people expect such things to cost huge premium.
Even less newsworthy - AFAIK Soviet-era decoys certainly did have false heat signatures (starting with a primitive stove of sorts, essentially); I don't know about faking radar, but trying to do that would be obvious.
IIRC, despite urging of Rommel, many of those units in Calais region were also being held back while the invasion was in progress. Too many top figures of the Reich set their minds on the invasion happening in Calais; and indeed thought for some time that Normandy is the decoy.
I wonder about those turtles on Zond 5... (a 1968 Soyuz mission which followed similar flight profile to Apollo 13; generally the first venture and safe return of macroscopic life beyond LEO...and it did perform more complex skip reentry profile, to limit g-forces, despite being normally capable of direct descend - so perhaps a bit faster)
And you know, if the speed of something can start to be measured by fractions of c - only then the ISS will have a trivial one. Or perhaps "order of magnitude more" would start to be decent for trivial. But few km/s more when the ISS is at 7?
...to the tune of both finding themselves in a very small group selected among many? Though it's slightly more twisted, I imagine; something along the lines of "ok, we want him (due to whatever dynamics present, also partly somewhat outside of the hoped for optimums)...but there's two of him."
On top of that, apparently he's married to a...congresswoman...(shudder)...Democrat. Badass. I think in case of those two we can be pretty sure which is the evil one.
PS. If only there was a chance of them becoming more known (locally, for me) than Kaczynski twins...one can dream.
And who knows how much of nice material neglected, forgotten, lost...
Some of those are quite nice; but I guess if people remember anything, it's virtually only Apollo-era photos shot with medium-format Hasselblad cameras. Quick search also gave eerie Phobos pictures. And Soviets knew how to make a good camera, Zenit line was quite nice.
Certainly "less addictive" didn't appear to mean that much in practice to me, when dealing with a regular user who haven't got his scheduled fix... (and knowing why is it so; makes me wonder how many of such cases go under the radar, explained by simple "he has a bad day")
Going just a bit beyond what dbcad7 - social contract. Wouldn't you say it's immoral to wreck yourself and not contribute much to the society, considering the services it provides since the earliest days / giving decently comfortable life?
Yup, that's why all the competition among US mobile providers, essentially each of the big ones using their own preferred tech, brought a much better situation for customers than in the places where there is essentially one mandated standard (that some of them have 2x lower population density assured they will always behind); all the incompatibility, interoperation issues, small economies of scale and customer lock-in only strenghtened competition.
Ah, yes, it's good to be able to convince oneself that only the "concluding success" counts (do you not realize how one can dismiss anything with "they were just using such things earlier"?); I'm sure it also explains how both sides lost approximately the same number of astronauts while rushing...
Sputnik 1 provided valuable data about micrometeorite environment, ionosphere and upper atmosphere densities. Sputnik 2 (second Earth satellite launched) actually detected Van Allen belts, but Red Scare was in full swing and there was huge delay in passing on the date; nobody before Laika knew how exactly macroscopic living things will react / how viable trying to quickly send humans is (that Laika didn't exactly provide those answers is another issue; later efforts went better)
Hey, on the plus side it was only few minutes for you to realize what kind of nonsense you've written; "some people go their entire lifes," and so on...

Must why SE is focusing on Android now.

50 First Dates would be...nicer.

...you think decoys will shoot at you!(?)
Hm, yeah...
Even less newsworthy - AFAIK Soviet-era decoys certainly did have false heat signatures (starting with a primitive stove of sorts, essentially); I don't know about faking radar, but trying to do that would be obvious.
So..."military refining its methods"...yawn.

Though at least we can measure the difference - our reference clocks throughout the globe need to be averaged to the same height above the geoid ("In the 1970s, it became clear that the clocks participating in TAI were ticking at different rates due to gravitational time dilation")

What is someone really doesn't like such blue? (plus hey, "cold" / might impact the book ;) )
