Slavery has existing for thousands of years. Humans have clearly understood enough to selectively breed cats, dogs, and farm animals for at least as long. There are accounts of slave owners in the south putting these two together.
And did you have some idea that marriage in monarchies was based on love? True, they chose based on politics more often than genetic traits. They certainly did try to marry the best to the best though...
So nobody has done these together in a highly systematic program for a long enough time in recorded history.. but don't think they never thought of it.
In any case I read the AP feed and it confused me.
What is the point of a machine contest, where the machines are needlessly large and complex. It really sounded like the ideal machine did one basic function and then 12-14 extraneous and overcomplex functions.
Was the contest specifically about how to make tasks more complex than necessary? Like an obuscated code contest for machines?
(usually the code seems a fair amount more useful/clever than this machine though...)
perhaps I should clarify that my notes are in the exact same format as my paper except digital.
(and the ablity to resize the sheet of paper to fit the notes..)
e.g. half scribbly notes. some weird math symbols, etc. (even the odd sketches) It would be a royal royal pain in the ass to use a standard PDA to take full page equivalent notes.
Practical things I can do on my tablet. 1: Store ALL of my notebooks on the tablet AND back them up. Search through them electronically. Resize text I've already written (e.g. add space where I didn't think I'd need it) 2: Store insanely large amounts of articles in PDF/mdi (microsoft's off2003 printing imager) and scribble comments in the margins. I can keep every article I have to read and my thoughts on them (over 3 file cabinets worth of paper) and keep them at hand access. 3: Fit all of above in a very small messenger bag/hold it one hand. 4: I do both of standing up usage and the lying down usage, tablet in bed when your sick is way more comfy than laptop.
uh, I kind of assume that they just ripped soundbites from the stars and put them in the movie.
Adam West and Mark Hamill are pretty much b actors though.. (though imdb 'em they've both been doing a lot of voicing recently...)
actually IR has ocassionally been used in (film) photography to reduce blemishes on the skin, etc.
Data please?

I am kind of concerned that at least from what i read in the review, this "advice" is just an unempirical opinion. I don't see much of citations about gamer's being motivated differently or doing better multitasking, etc.
There are such things as social sciences, you can actually study these things in an organized and meaningful fashion. you know formulate a hypothesis, collect data, test hypothesis..
I would guess that some gamers actually are actually very good at single-tasking. The problem is making the job the exciting thing and not the game.
(anyone besides me have a roommate who just did nothing but play starcraft for 3-4 straight days, skipping all classes...when he actually did somethign productive it was about the same method of operation.)
Counting Studies is bad method for reviewing research findings. There are far far better ways to analyze this. For exxample using a statistical meta-analyses of effect size.
Using whole studies can be misleading, some of the negative findings could be due to smaller samples, reducing the power of their test to detect the effects of the radiation.
This has become commonplace in Psychology, because as in cancer research, there a thousands of different variables that you are not measuring contributing to the outcome besides the one you are measuring, so the effect of X on Y may be pretty small.
Actually I think Medicine started using meta-analyses, because in medicine reducing heart attacks in 00.5% of the population can be quite useful.
The article towards the end mentions that some of the more successful fan movements have been largely the result of female fans. (e.g. Farscape)
I wonder to what extent this is true of Enterprise? Anybody have some numbers?
The impression I get from the marketing of Jolene Blalock is that women have not been marketed to..
if that many of the MS folk use ipods, somebody has got have a decent protected wma converter out there to put music from the media player stores onto their ipod without loss of quality.

Why do you assume this has never happened?

in that it's generally still illegal, yup pretty much.
bootlegs are also generally illegal.

PROTECTED WMA, itunes cant do it
