I don't want to carry around my camera. I don't want a bulky portable music player. I don't want to have to stay in my office to stay in touch. I don't want to have to call a recording service to check movie times. I don't want to have to buy cargo pants and add pockets.
I want my life to be simpler, smaller, and richer. Being chained to my desk, or carrying around 5 devices and a backpack-full of cables is not appealing to me.
Rice University in Houston, TX has started a new "Connexions" project. The basic idea is that professors can post freely-available lectures, homework-sets, and eventually entire courses. In Rice's CS program, some professors teach their entire courses from Connexions. The materials are released under the Creative Commons license.
For those of us living in this universe, 88/100 is 0.88 seconds. That's an enormous difference, almost a second per lap. If you have ever watched high-performance racing, be it F-1 or stock car, you know that pulling away from the competition at a second a lap is gigantic.
With regard to the drivers, it's not about whether or not they are perfect - it's about giving them the best "gear" to play the game. This is equivalent to developing new bats for baseball players or new cleats for football players.
I believe that you are referring to Ft. Meade, Maryland. Ft. Meade is the home of the NSA, and they are most certainly not developing weapons. Perhaps you meant USAMRIID (also in Maryland) - the US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases.
Narayanan's program parses speech by transforming it into electrical waveforms. "If you plot these waveforms given off by speech -- those wiggly things -- a high energy will give a greater amplitude, which affects the way the waves come out," Narayanan said.
Gee paw, how does I get ta wunna dem fancy skools?!

Everyone's got their goals.
