It's all the same material, but there's always new philosophies on the best way to cram the material into someone's head. How much time do you spend teaching limits, etc. Heck, we learned tensor notation in highschool, but never covered it in college.
I enjoy learning about religions. The various traditions and such. And one of the fascinating aspects is translating certain rules, laws, customs, etc into space. Presumably Iran, as an Islamic republic, will send devout Muslims into space and will have to answer some interesting questions.
For instance, if you orbit the earth every 90 minutes, you experience a very short day. If you are Muslim, how does that effect praying 5 times a day (every 18 minutes!). And what about direction?
If anyone has any serious thoughts, I'm curious hear them.
In a related vein, can devout Jews use thrusters (light a fire) on the Sabbath?
What's needed is a way for independent programmers to lease their AI NPC's (assuming it's even possible). Let market forces accelerate AI development beyond what just the game developer decides to do. At a minimum, you'd certainly see new NPC "personalities".
I had one of those (portable too), plus a copy of Douglas MacArthur's speech at 16. Sold the record at a flea market to some old guy wearing a uniform who almost cried holding it. Hope he had the player for it.
Years ago, I'd flip on the tv before heading to class. The only thing interesting was Rush Limbaugh. I'd watch that while reading The Nation. A pretty good example of polar opposites. What amused me was when they agreed. Which was pretty frequent when it came to Bill Clinton being evil. But you're right, I was forced to think and decide why he was evil rather than just accept it.
Not really. It is judged against standard of care. If, as in this case, the standard of care is to wait for the patient to die, then anything that doesn't make things worse could be ok.
On a related note, I worked on a dialysis project. The method was so simple, cheap and easily duplicated (unpatentable), we couldn't figure out how to justify working on it as a company (and we really tried). So we donated the research and a large wad of cash to an outside researcher we had hired as a consultant. He was enthusiastic because he was tired of traditional methods failing his patients (literally telling parents their kids had a week to live). I have no doubt that he would seriously consider using this alternate method rather than watch a patient die, and this is a method far less proven than traditional dialysis. And I firmly believe parents would be eternally grateful for him taking the chance. If this doc ever thought of liability, it was the liability of losing a bit of his soul if he didn't do everything he could for a patient.
Or looking at it another way, since the apple IIe was about $1300 in 1983, $12 twenty years later, we can expect a clone of the $100 laptop in another twenty years costing less than a dollar.
The summary got me to thinking about some of the PC on a chip offerings I've seen over the years. A quick google search turned up something else kind of amusing: http://tinyurl.com/5ppa9g. A PC for less than $500? No way!
Oh, and if anyone has some information on a useful pc-on-a-chip, I'm still curious.
They even have their own powerful international organization working on getting kids to follow the "leader of the club." Televisions, food, household items, all brainwashing society and controlled by the head mouse, Mickey.

Thanks, I'd forgotten about the Malaysian astronaut

We all assume the human in the video is a woman. But wouldn't it be more impressive (and scary) if it were a man?
New ways to teach it. At a minimum, you'd hope that they'd update the examples some time over the 400 years.

You're forgetting that Atlantis might still uses F. Maybe he meant side to be below the surface.
By -40, do you mean F or C?
On a whim, I checked for FAT64 and found it does exist (sort of) on Vista already. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT

That's why we now have freedom fries. So don't worry, you'll still be able to get your USDA recommended amount of freedom.

I suggest increasing the number of victims using CGI.
More than a few people have flown over 1000 km (620 mi) with no fuel. Ok, the launch requires some energy, but some don't need fuel: http://www.glider-one.si/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=1
This can't be easily adapted to un-manned flight, but it's still interesting for comparison.
That gets me home, but which port is the lawn?
I don't have any additional useful information I can share. Is there something in particular you needed?
My wife has been buying 99%, but maybe she has black market connections or something.
