Out of curiousity, when an artery is blocked with plague, what are the chances of it actually healing after a stent is popped in? My understanding was that the plague sticks to the wall and then the arterial wall kinda grows over it as a protection mechanism.
Wearing a balaclava brings up another problem.. California Penal Code 185 (Misdemeanor)
[185.] Section One Hundred and Eighty-five. It shall be unlawful for any person to wear any mask, false whiskers, or any personal disguise (whether complete or partial) for the purpose of: One--Evading or escaping discovery, recognition, or identification in the commission of any public offense. Two--Concealment, flight, or escape, when charged with, arrested for, or convicted of, any public offense. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
Secret Service Agent 1 - President Obama will be walking down Ave B surrounded by six agents in standard formation. Secret Service Agent trainee - Rolls six-sided die. My Terminators will teleport on top of your Suburban and my Imperial Guard will move south on Ave A. Secret Service Agent 2 - That's impossible.. stick to the rules. Secret Service Agent 1 - Exactly, we're dealing with reality here. Everyone knows Terminators can't teleport on top of vehicles and your Imperial Guard won't have line of sight to the President. Secret Service Agent trainee - Takes out a yard stick, lines it up with the President and his figures... I do have line of sight, cry more noob.
The article is incorrect... Barstow had a molten salt plant in 1995 I believe. Excerpt from the Wiki - "1995 Solar One was converted into Solar Two, by adding a second ring of 108 larger 95 m (1,000 ft) heliostats around the existing Solar One, totaling 1926 heliostats with a total area of 82,750 m (891,000 ft). This gave Solar Two the ability to produce 10 megawatts. Solar Two used molten salt, a combination of 60% sodium nitrate and 40% potassium nitrate," - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Solar_Project
He was probably talking about the incident where Cornell's bot kept hitting the brakes for 5-10 minutes. But yes, MIT was the one that ran into Cornell at one point.
I was at the race and Tartan Racing won fair and square. First, their bot started about 20 minutes after Stanford because they had some issues with some electrical interference coming from a nearby Jumbotron television (yes crazy I know). Stanford was paused for the MIT versus Cornell collision and was also paused a bit for Cornell's 10 minute stop and go routine on Nevada street. That was when Stanford's Junior decided to car hop from way back in line to the 2nd behind Cornell. Both Stanford and Tartan (CMU) ran well and were very smooth, but Boss was a bit more aggressive on the straight aways. Here's race video footage so you can see yourself - http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/34687/113/

"Once upon a time, Bill Gates said we would never "need" more than 640K."
Why the hell do people still bring this up? Gates never said this.
Do a Google search for Gates and 640K and be enlightened. Wired did an article about this bogus attribution and Wikipedia has an entry about it under Bill Gates.
Since you seem to know what IFR and VFR mean, I'm very surprised that you aren't aware that collision avoidance protocols have been in aviation for quite a while.
Starbucks T-Mobile offers WPA encryption and has offered it for several months. However, customers are not required to use WPA. Most probably choose wide-open unencrypted mode.
That being said, you must enter in a username/password to get past their captive portal page.
Almost all of the content is directed towards alumni to help them maintain a "connection" with the school. The lectures are NOT class lectures, but lectures from professors on specific topics. While still interesting, I don't see any actual student classes being offered via iTunes.
We dug a little deeper into the story and also translated the original Chinese language newspaper article. Turns out he thought he could meet his night elf hero if he committed suicide.
He wrote four letters and one hand-written note to his parents saying goodbye. He also logged onto WoW and told his guild buddies goodbye.
There is no part of the game that makes you commit suicide, but there are two quests where you can jump off a mountain or building. The Alliance one is in Feralas and the Horde one is in Thousand Needles.

Most interesting one so far is when Caltech's Alice charged through a k-rail, knocking it over and then started up a berm towards reporters. It was E-Stopped just a few feet away from hitting the media.
Due to the speed limits imposed at the qualifications, the vehicles could not get much better times.
At the qualifications, there were mandatory speed limits imposed in most (if not all) the areas. In the RDDF file, there are the GPS coordinates and a speed limit number. For example, the straight away was 40mph while some of the obstacle strewn areas was 5 mph. The vehicles are capable of going faster and in fact a couple vehicles maxed out the 40 mph on the straight away.
DARPA officials at the media press conference on Wednesday said that if they stick to the race speed limits, then they will finish in about 6 1/2 to 7 hours. In the real race, there are hard speed limits and then there are suggested limits (which a team can break). The suggested speed limits are in low obstacle areas, but are suggeseted so that the chase vehicle doesn't lose sight of the robot. Remember that this race is being held in the desert, so the dust kicked up could obscure it from view.
Quirky fact, the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) mandates 25 mph or less in desert tortoise areas. You gotta love beauracracy.
Some of this is explained in my article on tgdaily.com
"That's a complete lie. If you disagree, find me your nearest buffalo."
Last week I flew into Catalina Island. I ate a Buffalo burger, that came from a buffalo in a large herd on the island.
So Newsflash to you, they are not extinct.
1. Where in the article does it say the FBI developed the attacks? Did you RTFA?
2. For the IDS comment, I did state that it is NOT a stealthy attack. Not stealthy = IDS will pick it up.
3. You weren't at the talk, and it shows. They did give credit (a LOT of credit) to KoreK and Devine, but I didn't put it in the article. So you can blame me for it.

You personally guarantee, and yet you post anonymously?
I'm the author of the article.
1. Where in the article does it say the FBI developed the attacks? Did you RTFA?
2. For the IDS comment, I did state that it is NOT a stealthy attack. Not stealthy = IDS will pick it up.
3. You weren't at the talk, and it shows. They did give credit (a LOT of credit) to KoreK and Devine, but I didn't put it in the article. So you can blame me for it.
