I spent exactly one hour practicing typing Korean on an english keyboard while looking at a text printout of a Korean keyboard equivalent, and after that I had it essentially memorized well enough to type competently without the sheet. I don't know how many letters Hebrew has, but Korean only has about one character per english letter key, which may have contributed to its ease of use.
Wasn't there a simulation of a mouse's brain, or a few cells of it, for a few seconds with the help of a modern supercomputer, we can barley manage to do that.
We already know that it's possible to contain 100% of real-time human brain functions in a casing 10cm by 10cm by 10cm and weighing under five pounds. Now we have to build one from the ground up with potentially slower, yet better understood technology. The problem, unfortunately, isn't related to hardware. I have no doubt that processor power will soon be sufficient for our needs, but without software that can think on the level of a human, it's just another personal platform to play Duke Nukem Forever on.
Network Solutions recently released a comment on their supposedly unscrupulous business practices. They claim that their automatic registration of domain names that were searched for was an effort to stem the problem of domain tasters. I have a hard time believing that.
Aiming a gun isn't just "pointing it" in the right direction. One must align your eye, the target, and then the front sight and rear sight of the weapon all in a line in order to hit the target. You also have to worry about trigger squeeze, breathing, and stance in order to ensure your round does not miss your target. Although it becomes almost entirely subconscious, as a soldier and an avid FPS-er I can't classify those two tasks the same way. Pointing a reticle on a screen subconsciously is fundamentally different in one's mind than aiming a real life pistol or rifle subconsciously.
It is a lie. It may be a post or base policy from the post or base commander, but that doesn't make it a violation of anything other than UCMJ, which is not ever referred to using the words "federal law". Fort Bragg has a similar policy, in that as long as the cell phone is not physically in your hands, you are free to talk and drive. You cannot hold a speaker phone in your hand or use the phone to your head, because you will get pulled over and fined by the MPs and you will also have to attend a Saturday "safe driving" course. The device must be hands-free of any type.
Now we can't retract the retrospective immunity they were granted without possibly undermining the US government's promises even further... not that the telcos should have necessarily been granted it in the first place, but now there is another thing that is catching us up.
Also see List of Corporations by Market Cap at wikipedia. It shows companies that have a much greater market cap than Google has, mostly that of oil and banking corporations. Verizon has a 110b market cap, as far as large-name teleco goes.
You can see the public access auction results as the auction is conducted by visiting the FCC's Auctions Portal and choosing Auction 73 from the drop-down box under "Public Access". There are many auctions going on for different aspects of the 700MHz band, but Auction 73 is the big one that people are all talking about.
Please stop showing the Optimus Keyboard on Slashdot. It is almost complete vaporware. They have continually reduced the number of keys they will use OLEDs on, and they have even switched from "planning" to use color OLEDs to using black and white OLEDs. They have continually pushed back their preorder and production dates. I recently read a story that summed up all their setbacks and delays, and made it clear that it's vaporware.
I can't find the link to that article, so since I don't have any sources at the moment be sure to take this with a grain of salt.
What an immature poster. It takes all of two seconds for anybody to check the link and confirm that's it not some juvenile trickery. For all I know YOU are one of the people putting those links on Slashdot. I only added the warning because my post was short and contained a link at the end of it, which is how most of the minicity crap is posted.
Where the heck are they going to get the processing power to deal with all this new data? I know for a fact that they are not "running out" of work to hand out to SETI@Home volunteers.
That said, let them borrow some of your electricity, and run SETI@Home. I would like to find proof of extraterrestrial life, and I know you would, too. Here's the link: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php (This is a real link and not a minicity)
Yeah, but outside of a major metropolitan area it is useless. I live in North Carolina, and even though I'm in a medium-sized city Navizon doesn't work. When I used it during a trip to D.C., it was spot on and highly accurate. I'm hoping that native support might change something, like which services' cell towers are used to perform the triangulation.
My phone is activated and I use AT&T. There is no way I am upgrading until I can use my apps with it, too. And it'll suck, period, if I have to reinstall all my apps. I would consider doing so for the GPS triangulation.
He also never said that the Gulf of Mexico is the crater, but the crater was gigantic and formed half on the modern-day Yucatan peninsula, and half on what is the modern-day Gulf of Mexico. However, his 30-mile estimate is very mistaken.
Lol, it's true. I gave up reading the Silmarillion the first time during the first couple chapters. Later on, when I tried it again, I pushed through the barrier and the book was amazing. You just have to live through the first 70 pages or so.:)
No, you are making blatantly false statements in an attempt to lead those who don't click through and check links into making incorrect conclusions, or at least muddy the water.
I missed this the first time I read your comment, but now it seems like you're just a troll trying to get a rise out of me, since it takes all of 30 seconds to CTRL+click all of those, flip through all of the tabs, and then close them all again.
There are two users in question. 82.208.181.238 made the Fidel Castro = transexual edit, along with Bush = fag and many other non-political edits. This user is in the article summary for god knows what reason, since the IP resolves to Romania and he has absolutely nothing to do with any pro-US stance.
You brought my attention to 130.22.190.5 which is actually located at Guantanamo Bay, and my post right above this one explains what I found when I looked at the history page. I have absolutely nothing to hide and am trying to project an objective response for one of the talking points of this article's summary, which I feel to be mistaken. I am not talking about the article in whole, but I am suggesting that parts of it may be nonfactual and therefore the rest should be looked at with at least a modicum of suspicion, as well.
So what's the deal with putting something in there about vandalism on a Fidel Castro page if the edit had nothing to do with the US government?
The user 130.22.190.5 only has a few edits related to ANYTHING about Camp X-Ray or Guantanamo, and they are all edits amounting to fixing typos.

You are being very weird and forceful about this. I am linking everything so that people can see for themselves that you are taking things a little too far on the "government propaganda" side of things. This user has an IP from Guantanamo, but it seems that he is a regular wikipedia user that has edited around 50 pages and who felt like vandalizing a couple pages that he thought was a good joke for himself. I'm having a hard time finding any pro-US overtones except for the one edit I noted above, which should have gone on the talk page instead.
The user in question is simply a common wikipedia vandal. The only pro-US change he made was calling Fidel Castro a transsexual, yet he goes on to call the president "George Wanker Bush" and a "fag". Those two edits were the only politic-related pages he altered. Furthermore, his IP resolves to Romania, which is nowhere near Guantanamo or any place I would choose to conveniently locate a pro-US wikipedia propaganda artist.
This article is already suspect... trying to take advantage of people already existing opinions to make them lower their guard.
The US government aren't the only people with an agenda. Some mass media (for example, NYT) have an unfortunate bias that prevents them from delivering consistently objective stories about important topics such as government corruption, propaganda, fund misappropriation, wrongdoing, and so on, preying on their audience and further muddying the issue.

Don't worry. It's a hydrogen cloud, not a cloud of hydrogen and oxygen. Without oxygen, hydrogen won't burn.
