  1. Re:Hmmm on U.S. Navy Patents the Firewall? · · Score: 1

    Nevermind. I guess my civics classes didn't stress alternative definitions.

  2. Hmmm on U.S. Navy Patents the Firewall? · · Score: 1

    In a communication system having a plurality of networks...?

    A plurality in what sense? If I operate many networks I can only use this firewall if I have more networks than everyone else I know?

  3. Limiting factors in rewiring rates? on Patient Revives After 19 Years By Rewiring Brain · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I would like to know what limits the rewiring rate in such a state? Is it metabolic? Or does the rate of new axon growth and synapse formation follow the normal growth rate of neural cells late in life - which, as I recall, is fairly slow?. This was obviously a long process, but was there a certain "critical point" reached during the rewiring that, once passed, assured recovery of functions? Is this subconscious dreaming or thinking that manipulates signaling, and could simple brain simulaion methods achieve a similar goal in the absence of such a process? Hopefully such a case generates academic interest that will help progress this area of brain research.

    OK, OK, this is totally just a joke, and I really don't think I should have even posted it. Its a joke, I repeat, A JOKE.

  7. Re:Ever heard of the AVRO Car? on Russians Invade with Flying Saucer · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of RTFA??? "In the 1950s, at a plant just outside of Toronto, the Avro-Canada company designed a jet-powered saucer it dubbed the Avrocar (http://www.vectorsite.net/avplatfm.html#m4). Intrigued by the UFO-esque craft, the U.S. Air Force took over the project in 1955."
