Now that the Chinese have this negative press, any old "ninja looter", no matter the actual country of origin can use the excuse:
"im sorry i not good english i not know rules kthxbye"
Or worse: this stereotype will be automatically considered when a less talkative player steals all the loot and leaves suddenly. "aw, no he didn't! it must have been a Chinese gold-farmer!"

"Oxytocin is the most commonly used labor-stimulating agent. Other methods of stimulating labor include nipple stimulation..."
Suddenly, my mind is making way too many connections.
I am applying to grad schools now and most of my friends are in a program of some sort. From them and my application and internship experiences, I think the best way to go about getting in is to know very specifically what you want to do (work experience or anything else related to the field helps) and to know someone (usually the prof) in the institutions program. Find a reason to correspond with them on a project that interests you, or speak with old advisers from undergraduate days. One friend was laid-off from his programming job and applied to a bioengineering program because of a current recommendation from his adviser (from 6 years ago). One friend applied to high ranking schools and was only accepted to the schools where he spoke with the professors.
Since I have yet to get in to one myself, I am wondering if these are fair generalizations about getting into grad school (in order of importance):
I use my iPod to record every one of my lectures (about 12 hours/week), then play them back a few times. I'm sure this is not unique, but it means I rarely even have time to pirate music let alone make the effort to buy it.
On that note, does anyone know a nice forum for trading college lecture audio? If the prof is good (and doesn't rely heavily on visual aids) it can be +5 informative.
Are the targets going to be military, or civilian news organizations? The US military has hit Aljazeera and two other Arab news agents on the same day (during a curious PR event in Baghdad) in an alleged attempt to control media broadcasts.
* The newspeople gave precise coordinates of their location to the US government. * one may see the Al Jazeera footage of the plane in attack formation and the missles being launched. * there were calm winds and no hostility in the area * the weapons were supposed to be "smart" and accurate were these three press agencies deliberately attacked?
So are news satellites next if they broadcast something counter to the US or Bush's political interests?
I know, it's a bit of a leap, but we (i.e. the free information loving world) should be wary.
Working out the kinks is a critical step indeed. I interned at a bioengineering lab this summer, and a huge problem was just keeping channels active. The brain sloshes around inside the skull quite a bit, and to have a stiff electrode intrude on this can be problematic to say the least (if a jet pilot with an implant were to pull a few Gs I imagine some sort of self lobotomy).
Next are immune reactions to foreign objects in the body. Coatings over the electrodes can help, but are not a guarantee.
Finally, these electrode arrays are pretty large. Technology can improve this, but imagine invasive brain surgery every time you need to upgrade, or being stuck with the 1st generation mind-link ipod for life.
I'm waiting for nanomachines to solve many of these problems. When (and if) I make it to grad school perhaps they'll have it set for me... or maybe I'll volunteer as I'm never going to fly a jet.
The point is twisted slightly to make this more interesting news. Mapping the brain is important not just for understanding how it works (additions to psychology textbooks) but also for improving drug research, creating brain models, and improving brain/machine interfaces to name but a few possibilities.
It may seem academic, but every bit of knowledge helps. Maybe. Perhaps a better analogy is one more bit of code being added to sourceforge. Perhaps in the future, a neuroscientist (programmer) will be able to stimulate this area (use the code) to create dorsal-striatum-revenge-zombie-slave-soldiers for the government.
The future is tomorrow!

I accidentally the whole name of the channel. ...is this dangerous?

They didn't just give up a method of infiltration - that's just foolish.
no news here. move along. nothing has changed.

Since I have yet to get in to one myself, I am wondering if these are fair generalizations about getting into grad school (in order of importance):
1. Knowing someone (interview)
2. Experience (related work, school projects)
3. Grades (job performance)
4. Recommendations/References
I welcome anyone with more experience to correct/dispel my notions.

Time to bring out those aerial photography kites we've all been working on.
