Even tho I'm right handed. I haven't switched the buttons. I did it because of carpal tunnel syndrome. Switching turned out to be pretty easy, tho even after 2 years I still switch back for a fast moving game; my left hand just hasn't got the speed & accuracy of my right.
Can I have my location copywritten? I want NO ONE to have access or the right to use my location in any manner without my explicit approval. Feds and local law enforcement included.
A major contributer to memory loss is the stress of worrying about it. Expect it to work when needed, and it's more likely to do so. That being said, do a crossword puzzle every day. Take DHA (from an algal source NOT fish oil). Eat brewer's yeast; it has every B vitamin known, plus lots of DNA and RNA. Eat eggs (choline), and beets (they provide a chemical group that the rest of your body will use and leave the choline for making acetylcholine.) Exercise your brain - it really does respond just like muscle tissue does; it will grow and become more vigorous. Don't take large doses of B vitamins, just take some. Your food will provide a variable amount on top of the minimum, and that variation will enhance your brain's use of what's available. Most of all; if you expect some function to fail, you will stop using it so much, it will atrophy from lack of use, and you'll have a self-fulfilling prophesy. Just as you expect to get better at what you do with practice, expect your body's cells to get better at what they do with practice. They will, if you let them.
What's been proved is that people who smoke pot tend to drink alcohol too. Alcohol kills memory MUCH faster and more extensively than pot does. Just sayin.' Watch your sources and prejudices.
I've worked in the computer industry for 30 years now. The best programmer I ever met, hands down, bar none, was a woman. I am still amazed when I recall the uncanny way she could zero in on the source of, and solution to, ANY problem I presented to her. If you're reading this, Charlotte C., I salute you.
When you convince the brain that it is in a cold environment, it adjusts the bodily response, right down to the genetic level. The response to a cold environment will definitly aid the healing process.
There is no discrete border or boundary to this effect, any more than there is a cutoff point for gravity from earth somewhere above the surface. When it comes to size, it operates on a scale of 10^8 Light Years. That's WAY up the scale beyond just galaxy sized. This is the scale where things look like strands and bubbles made of clusters of galaxies. Voids are well documented areas of the universe where we can't see any stars. Putting us in a "low density" area is not saying we are somewhere special; we've just gotten higher resolution of where we are in a universe that is not uniformly distributed.
Depends on where you are. Sciencedaily had a story about a year ago (can't find it now; can you?) about some folks involved with WIMP who had found mega-galactic voids and calculated that time ran fast enough inside a really big one that the universe was 18 Billion years old near the middle while it's only 13 and change around here.
So if time moves faster, how long does it take to cross one? Is it bigger inside than outside?
If the results of the vote are within statistical error (which is a LOT bigger than 269 votes), the election should be thrown out and run again. Plain science; the kind that politicians will never allow.
They'll claim that would be too confusing for most voters. That is, thay'll say we are in the aggregate too stupid. SOME people may be, but most of us aren't.
We are, however, too apathetic. The election in 2000 was blatantly rigged, yet the populace just grumbled. I guess I'll move to canada. The US government has been hijacked.
Stop thinking about making it all work smoothly. Give up on the proactive vs reactive approach. The trick for me was to give the business people "presents." I put them on their own subnet with a (fairly useless) firewall, so they all felt cozy and comfortably isolated from the "lower workers." One day I gave them all cheap web cams and shortcuts to our remote offices, telling them to cut their phone bills (the head of finance almost kissed me for that one.) Pick someone who bad-mouths the techies and give them some report that they never knew they could get that fits their job well. Look for influential people and influence them. I gave a CEO a "speedometer" that showed running totals of accounts payable, accounts receivable, total $$$ on orders placed, and $$$ on orders shipped for the day, week, and month. He loved it, and I got a new PC.
Business folks don't see how hard it is to maintain the status quo, so don't bother showing them. Give them bangles and neat toys and data for their job that makes them go "Cool" and they'll see you as a friend.
How long do you study a planet(esimal) before you can reliably conclude whether or not life has evolved there?
This question is of utmost importance because if there IS native life it should be protected and even nurtured. However, if you CAN say it hasn't happened yet, then I feel it is a moral imperative to spread life to those environments. We absolutely should seed our extremophiles wherever they may live, as long as we aren't stomping on native life. How many iterations of seed and "bioshpere" crash do you think it may take on Venus before we establish something long-lived? I'd bet Mars will be easier, and lament that we will likely overrun anything Mars may have with terrestrial lifeforms.
So frigid you're sterile, Titan-baby? Wait 'till the human race cuddles up to you. We'll fertilize you all sorts of ways.
is Humor. You know that someone, most likely not you, will have to read your code at some point. Others have spoken about formatting and readability; this standard improves working conditions. Put a joke or three in there. How long a variable name is in the source code doesn't affect the size or speed of the compiled binary. If you only need that variable once or twice, make it funny. Better yet, tell a short story or quote a movie.
Some of my personal examples:
When I opened the employee file for a payroll application, I used the filehandle "the.downtrodden.masses."
One of my favorites was when I assigned a few variables ahead of time and was able to write (and use):

I get incorrectly addressed emails every day thanx to a non-standard gmail policy that most folks don't know exists. They deliver a single email to multiple addresses without any indication that more than one person has received it. ANY email address that contains a dot will have ALL their incoming mail delivered to whoever owns that same address without dots. I get emails for a two college students who have my eddress with dots. Mine has none. Every email they get, I get a copy of. I've logged into myspace and other sites with credentials that I received in links from their emails. I get job application responses and credit card sales confirmations. Emails to abuse get an automated reply touting how wonderful this "feature" is. I finally setup a filter that forwards all these emails to abuse@gmail.com. They get at least a dozen every day, and haven't noticed in over a year. If you don't like someone who has a gmail account, you can legitimately register their address with a single dot added, and then fill their inbox with anything you want.
I've felt for awhile that both theories are true, depending on distance from the new sun. Solar wind pressure would blow the lighter elements out to jovian radii, leaving heavier objects close enough to the hard radiation to become somewhat molten, hence sticky enough for core aggregation. Our own planetary distribution is what suggested this to me. My credentials as any kind of astrophysicist are a matter of science fiction, so I'll bow to your more educated opinion on the subject. Wadda ya think?
I want full control over saying yes or no that is or is not me. What is required is a three party trust system - each of the two entities in a given transaction need to have their own final aribiter, and there must be a mutually trusted third party witness. Who the third party is should be open to competition. The critical part of this is that I want MY server(s) to keep track of where I am 24/7 (not somebody else's server, including the cell phone provider I may use for this purpose). MY trusted server (ok, the service I'll pay) should have access to my current communications channels and multiple ways of verifying my physical presence. If a challenge comes in that says I'm using a credit card in Iowa when I'm in Pakistan and have no recent net connection to the company presenting that request for authentication, I should be unobtrusivly asked for verification. Where I am 24/7 is MY business. You should be able to only ask "Are you at this place right now?" and my agents should only say yes or no after asking "Who wants to know?"
This implies that one can impose a signal on the heisenberg uncertancy of a quantum system. You can then measure the position and velocity of a given particle with greater precision than earlier theories claim is possible. This accuracy is gained at the expense of greater uncertainty at other points in time just prior to and after the point at which one measures the given property. I see no conflict, just a clever "trick" that a well designed experiment could take advantage of. Sounds to me like a challenge to be the first to publish greater than heisenberg uncertancy resolution measurements of a hydrogen atom at various speeds beyond simple rest state. Perhaps we can even get quark sized resolution while looking at a proton. Now THAT would be cool
The deeper into a gravity well you go, the slower time runs. The opposite is also true: There are places in the universe that have almost no matter for over a million light years in all directions. The centers of these voids are closer to 18 billion years old. He doesn't mention any of that tho, so he's feeding us simplified pictures at best. I wonder if they've even corrected for this effect in their analysis; since this was only published last fall they may not even be aware of it.
So now we'll have even more examples of earth life that could stand conditions in some niche elsewhere in the solar system. Not only can we grow stuff on Mars, we can also find things in underwater smokers and volcanic lakes that will live in the upper atmosphere of Venus. I'd bet that something in Lake Vostok could stand living under the ice on a moon around Jupiter or Saturn. Cool stuff, to be sure. I'd even argue that we have a justifiable, instinctual drive to spread not just humans, but life as far and wide as we can.
But I wonder: How long do you study a new place to see if it already has life before you throw our, possibly hardier, alien invasion force at it? Destroying something native would be a far greater tragedy than letting a planet stay sterile for a while.

WiFi tracking with 802.11 as discussed b4 on slashdot. Bluetooth is also possible, and likely to be cheaper than active RFID as well.
