I wonder if this is related to poorer eyesight as we age. If we assume recognizing a face from a modest distance and distinguishing one person form another is more important than some other recognition tasks (recognition tasks?). It would certainly seem harder. So maybe your body just assumes it better up it's game as your eyes degenerate or a Cave Lion eats one of them.
It would also be interesting to see if there's a correlation between poorer eyesight (not necessarily due to age) and this. Although I assume that most of the subjects either had pretty decent vision or generally corrected their vision with glasses.
This is an excellent posting. However, if the pamphlet contains illegal information (like child pornography- I know the example is overused) or otherwise contains some sort of pertinent evidence. Then the prosecution should and probably will use it(the type of paper or printer ect) to find the makers identity. I see little difference in using the logged i.p. to find the identity of someone who posts a message if you have a warrant to do it.
As a previous article pointed out: we are not lawyers. But I am continually astonished that anyone is the least bit surprised that a company can be court-ordered to release personal information. The police can look at your bare bum and root through all of your bad poetry without so much as a by-your-leave if a judge sends a warrant to their car. If a judge orders me to release the ip address of a poster. I must(if I have chosen to keep a record of it).
What has previously been contested is whether or not police can obtain this information WITHOUT obtaining any special permission in much the same way that they don't need permission to obtain your home address.
Unless it the aliens were made of that terrible DARK MATTER. Which is theoretically immune to all forms of attack except the power of love, and perhaps the Blazing Sword.
What you said sounds about right to me. It would take a very convincing arguement to get me believeing we are capable of handling anti-matter in anywhere near the quantities they are talking about. When we do develop a gram of anti-matter in a stable containment unit, they should put it right next to my tennis-ball sized black hole just to be safe. That way they can be sent through my stable E-R Bridge to another universe if I get a warning from myself from the future on the tachyon phone I'm just about finished assembling.
I think we have a lot to learn from and about anti-matter before we start making corpses with it.
By the way, I remember one of my physics profs talking about a method for trapping anti-hydrogen, he was likely talking about the same project you are. Is this it? http://hussle.harvard.edu/~atrap/Background/Trap/T RAP.html [harvard.edu]
I figured that there would be some cost involved in integrating it into the older phone network. What about all those fees or taxes that you pay (I think theres one for 911, for instance), do they apply? How is the call routed? Can you ever use the same IP address as you're machine (the one I use at work doesn't)? How much bandwidth does an average quality call take up?
Even if there were no POTS network and the IP phone was fully integrated to the point where it was nothing more than a peripheral capable of accessing all the services a regular phone can access, there would likely be some additional expenses there. How much is beyond me though.

It sometimes takes the form of a giant blue linksys router. So that we may better worship it.
