Cochlear implants go the opposite direction. Cochlear implants are like speakers, this is like a microphone.
Thats true but the important thing here is the interface, which works both ways. This device may have more resolution though, and it seems precise enough to talk to individual neurons, rather than nerve cells.
I think there is a gap in medicine. You have scientists, technicians (doctors) but few engineers. If there were medical engineers they could take a device like this and package it for implantation. One obvious application would be an electronic bridge between two bunches of nerve cells.
TFA is vague but it looks like the cells in question are being kept alive outside the organism. I suppose this could be adapted into an implantable device, but cochlear implants almost do that anyway.
Lets hope the "Central Server" doesn't do something important in its spare time like run traffic signals or something. It could be quite a disaster is somebody feeds in all this information about the history of the East India Company.
As long as someone ensures that the manufacturers are first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Ultra-high-energy laser fields can actually convert their light into matter
So I have this idea that you could blast an object into (well) nothing with intersecting laser beams, transmit data on the resulting interference patterns, then reproduce the same interference patterns at another place with intersecting laser beams powerful enough to create matter.
Sounds like teleportation to me. Anybody want to give it a go? (you furst).
Loss of radio could be a problem, more for navigational aids than communications. GPS is not very accurate for aircraft, especially when changing altitude, and even when it works. They had fog and cloud and tried to get over a mountain.
Perhaps I was not clear enough but I was envisioning a binary blob in the FAT 32 system, that was an EXt4 (or whatever) disk image.
Steve Jobs, is that you;)
Seriously, that sounds like the reason why I can't just drag MP3s to an ipod from any OS without apple software. Its all about security, right? Personally I would take the risk and retain the hack-ability.

Yeah this bothers me a bit. I live in the same city as Julian Assange. Should I worry about predator drones? I am confident of my safety. A citizen of Pakistan may have a different view.
What I haven't seen is any commentary on the Australian government's position on this. What do they think?
They think as little as possible. Generally they will help the US but it would be difficult for charges to be laid against Assange personally unless they can catch him in this country with US classified documents. I wouldn't be surprised if our security services have some covert surveillance in place and I am sure Assange would not be surprised either.
Don't talk about this stuff near that new passport Julian.
There are differences of degree. Having Syrian nationality gave the US an excuse to send him to Syria. But would they put a 100% Canadian citizen, arrested in the US in gitmo?
Already posted so I can't mod you up but I agree totally. Manning could have uploaded his stuff to wikipedia, megaupload, whatever. It could have gone up on torrent sites and been linked to on/b/. There are lots of ways to do it and wikileaks is possibly the safest place for people mentioned in the released content in the sense that some filtering was done.
He *IS* a narcissistic jerk. And, pro or con, I predict an appointment at Gitmo.
I predict a nasty reception for the US in the future if they start detaining Australian citizens without even attempting to have them arrested, charged and extradited. Its one thing if you pick them up in Afghanistan, quite another if you abduct them from a country officially allied to the US.
Yeah I know. My nephew has fungal meningitis, which is weird, nobody knows where it came from. He is otherwise very healthy. His condition was diagnosed when the infection pushed up the pressure of his CSF and caused exactly those symptoms.
I know that amyloid beta in the Cerebrospinal fluid is a secondary symptom of plaques on neurons, but I wonder of filtering or replacing the CSF would help the situation at all?
I have had long stretches with mod points and long stretches without mod points. My karma is always at the limit. I am sure there are deterministic algorithms behind it. They are probably up on SF but I can't be bothered to read up on them.
I subscribe to one of their RSS feeds because they sometimes point to articles worth reading, but the reddit feed I subscribe to is much better for that. What I don't understand about digg is why their comment system is so crap. They have rewritten it many times. It got better, then worse, then worse again. Am I missing something? Why do people use it?

Believe me, they were.
Share and enjoy!

Did you have to post this three times? Really?
I think there was a logjam in posting. I thought I had FP but my post is down the page another metre or so.
I thought that was the reason for the NTP server.
I think he is dead too, but the accounts listed there are inconsistent.

So what if Manning had just posted the stuff to /.?
Say there is this guy in jail who everybody agrees should be busted out, but if you do that all the rapists and serial killers get released too?
Your search - queen_vs_julian_assange.txt - did not match any documents.
Damn. Care to share? Exactly which queen are we talking about here?
Kind of comes off as a narcissistic jerk here.

Mod points are awarded randomly here,
I have had long stretches with mod points and long stretches without mod points. My karma is always at the limit. I am sure there are deterministic algorithms behind it. They are probably up on SF but I can't be bothered to read up on them.

Given that, I don't grok the value of the GPS-guided flight, unless they're planning to use them only outside the US or to sell them to the military.
Outside the US is a big place, and quite a good market.
NPNs are still good.
