Actually, American Ohio class SSBNs can fire Trident II missiles while submerged. If I recall correctly, the missile is pressurized with nitrogen, preventing damage to the innards from sea water.
When 'deletionists' destroy the work people are putting in, it's not surprising when the people who have put that work into Wikipedia leave the site. There's only a finite amount of things that can be written about and as Wikipedia progresses, the articles that are created must become more and more obscure. But with those kinds of articles effectively banned from Wikipedia, the only editors it needs around are those that upkeep the existing articles.
The practical and ethical implications are interesting and all but I want to know how they debugged and field tested this thing...
Phillips will soon have an influx in job applications from long haired coders who have an insatiable taste for Pink Floyd.
If only there were some other charity which they could divert these funds to that would get them out of this hot water... something which would benefit everyone.. perhaps a "Human Fund"?
Can we really blame him for losing some financial information? I mean it's not his fault when that information gets lost along with the internet sent by his staff.
Being President of the United States means sometimes taking an unpopular stance on an issue despite the outcry of the public. It sometimes means thinking in the long term instead of the short, 24-hour sound-bite news cycle... Might I remind you that the president that suggested this bill also lied to start a war, approved the torture of innocent civilians, and believes himself to be above the law.
Funny that you acknowledge that the President sometimes has to do unpopular things for the long term good of the nation (presumably with information regular citizens do not have access to) and yet you lambast George Bush over his actions when you have no idea of the information available to him.
(Not only are the cortices of different species drastically different, scientists often chose regions of cortex that have no correlation in humans. Many neuroscientists are studying the Barrel Cortex. It is a region of cortex that is specifically designed to integrate the signals from the whiskers of a Rodent. Humans don't have whiskers and we also don't have Barrel Cortex. Anything learned about the circuitry of the Barrel Cortex will not necessarily correlate to human cortex. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of the main points of Hawkins' theory that all parts of the neocortex perform the same algorithm, no matter what the input, be it eyes, ears, or even whiskers? I'm not a neuroscientist and I'm definitely no expert on this, but I did read the book and I seem to remember that being a prominent point. Also, I was under the impression (from the book) that the only thing making animals less intelligent than humans was the size of the cortex. Again, please correct my misconceptions.
This summer I took Calculus II from a professor who is also a personal friend. Before he was a professor, he worked for the Department of Defense. He says that they hire more mathematicians than anyone else in the world. Anyways he had some very interesting stories from when he worked there on *top secret* projects and such. From what I understood, when you work for DoD, you are pretty much free to travel around and work on whatever project you want, but still keep your pay grade. It is definitely worth considering if you are going to major in math. Oh yea, and a perk of the job is that DoD will pay for your graduate school.
Make it compatible with.cbr and.cbz files so I can read comic books, and I'd be all about it. Also, it would be cool if it were thinner and maybe even foldable into something pocet sized. They could further develop that thin electronic paper http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/1 5/1720224, and it would be perfect.

This is really just consolation for the Nobel Peace Prize he was supposed to win.
Pour out a little Bawls in his honor.

I defy these researchers to find country birds with a southern drawl and see if it yields the same result.
iTouche.
All I read was "30 years and still no lightsabers".
I'm going to sue Rawlings for all those windows I broke.

Become a cage fighter.
My only question is: Who shot first?
