However, Green believes it may be possible to alter the properties of d3o for new impact-protection and anti-trauma applications. "There are certainly opportunities to dabble with the chemistry and enhance the effect,"
Even if it can't stop bullets right now, the future may be a diffrent storey. The article also says they haven't been able to find a way to adaquately test it's hardness yet. It would be interesting to see the results of a test involving d3o and a 9mm round. Even if it dosn't stop something like a 30-30. or a.762, it would still be better than Kevlar because of the vast improvement in flexability.
I'm only 22 and I remember Windows 3.0 (Thank you again for the IBM Grandma!), although I can afford the new windows? (Dosn't mean I'm going to buy it, I already have Halo 2 for Xbox so XP Pro and Redhat can do everything I need.) Dosn't that blow your assumptions out of the water?
For me at least, there was a required class back in High School on computers that covered common sense things to keep your computer protectedamong other things. At work, the admins regularly give out alerts to watch for this exploit or this scam ect... I think the real problem is that people don't listen to it. Most of my friends know that if something happens to their computer, they can call me up and I'll make it all better for them so they don't care. When I do, I try to give them pointers on what to or not to do, but a few months later, what do you know, they call me up and need help with their computer again. To me, it's not that big of a deal to help a friend out, the most it's taken me is a couple hours so far.
What about the librarians? After these people are done surfing their porn, how many of them are going to clean up after themselves? While some of you may fanticise about the librarian cleaning up your jizz, how do you think they really feel about it? Where are their rights?:P
You RTFA!
"At most public libraries in the Washington area, an adult can view pornography on a library computer more or less unfettered."
"Although many library systems in the United States use filtering software, the D.C. and Fairfax systems do not, and Montgomery uses such software only on computers available to children."
Where I live, you can't look up porn at a local library, so don't try telling me you can universally do it anywhere.
I didn't realise Slashdot was so anti-government that they mod anything that might indicate the government isn't all that bad as flamebait. Maybe I should stop posting here before I get my clearance taken away.
I'm betting they were monitering the library computers for anything that might pop a red flag. Searches for "How to make a bomb" and stuff like that. They saw someone surfing porn at the library. How many of you would think that's acceptable? They obviously didn't know that local policy allowed it. So they decided to step in before some kid walked past or something similar happened.
Really? Come on, that's taking this a bit far. This was two people taking it upon themselves to try to stop someone from viewing porn in a library. They should be more familure with the law they're trying to enforce, but that's a bit short of making it a conspiracy.
While I don't think the library is quite the place, it's good to know that some people are keeping an eye on the government as it's peering over our shoulders and aren't afraid to speak up when they see them going beyond where they're supposed to.
A drivers liscense to get on the net? And how do you plan on enfoceing that one? Even if many countires tried to enforce it and I don't think it's possible at this stage of development, there would be many more who wouldn't. Even if they did, don't you think someone computer literate enough to have a small army of bot computers could bypass it? And what exactly would it solve anyway? If they can't figure out who's doing it now, how would they know who's liscense to take away?
RTFA, "While there are controversies about who invented what, there is universal agreement that the ENIAC was the watershed project that showed electronic computing was possible."
I do. I don't have a PDA, I don't really need one. But being able to surf the web on my DS would be awesome. As for the TV, right now I use my PSP more for watching movies on airplanes more than anything else. Just because you don't like it dosn't mean there isn't a market for it.
If not, I will.
Step 1: Surf/. for cool sounding ideas that aren't patented and patent them.
Step 2: Wait for the cool sounding ideas to become all the rage.
Step 3: Turn to the darkside.
Step 4: Profit!

We'll let the mods decide that one.

I think he was just saying that the victims don't matter due to stupidity. You know, the elitist view. Kinda like the one Hitler had.

Also, they are already working on it. http://www.azonano.com/news.asp?newsID=808
You're reading my thoughts too, I feel really stupid for laughing at the tinfoil hat people now... Must get to the grocery store...
Bah, stop reading my thoughts. Untill now, I thought all of those tinfiol hat people were crazy. Now I have to go buy some Reynolds Wrap.
61,999 to go. While it's nice to know that they're working on it, this may take a little while before it's even close to useable.
How do these people get moderator points?
Sorry, It's the first large-scale, electronic, digital computer capable of being reprogrammed to solve a full range of computing problems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eniac There were many programable computers that were programable far before ENIAC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing_ hardware

That's ok, I have a NEW P4 3.4 chip & heatsink I use as a paperweight. Crappy Intel.
