If you do the population curve (takes a couple minutes, and somewhat tedious) it teaches an interesting lesson.
The more money we donate to starving countries, like we do to various countries in Africe (both government and public donations), the more they reproduce. Thus they require more money, eventually dying out anyway.
If we don't donate money, they drop to incredibly low numbers, and stabilize, but not as low as the other alternative.
Thus the dilema.
Either you donate and save some lives, causing more death in the end.
Or you sit idle by, letting people die.
1) Revolutionary way to develop creativity, artistic design, and low level education to children. Would replace wasteful and hectic coloring books, child artbooks, and maybe open gate to accept fully digital books. A world of application.
-or-
2) Another technological development overlooked and not cared for, ending up with countless other technological developments. Though some of which were brought back after years in the garbage pile, when widely or purposeful applicable use appears. However, most remain there, which it seems this would be the destiny of this particular gadget.
How many times do they need to shoot themselves in the foot, leg, arm, groin, shoulder, and any other extremedy until they realize that they should stop trying to come up with new ideas, just because they look or sound good.
The controllers we have now are so widely used because they work.
Whenever new funcitons are necessary for gaming, they can be easily adapted to the controler and be utilized.
Of course in a day down the road, the functions and actions in game will require for a complete and revolutionary controller.
It is possible that this is the revolutionary controller, but sure as hell doesn't look like it.
Currently I am siding with the original theory, since it is quite logical and has so far been supported with much data and information.
However this new concept is interesting, but leaves a lot of questions. How are these "catastrophic electrical discharges" occur and funciton? Why and how do they stars to supernova?
I attampted to conduct some research on the subject, but only found concepts on ESD (Electrostatic Discharges), which pretty much is static. I did find out that it is capable of more than just shocking and irritating you. Though possibly relating to this subject, it is not what I seek.
Since they are creating new type of fusion, this would mean that there would be a new method to fuse hydrogen atoms.
If this method is made public, would it not mean that many (once accuring the necessary equipment), be able to easily whip up Hydrogen Bombs?
I don't know much about the way the Nuclear weapons funnction, besides that Atomic Bomb works with fission, and Hydrongen Bomb uses fusion (and even less knowledge on the even more powerful forms of the bombs). But wouldn't various methods for fission and fusion provide for new ways of making these incredibly destructive weapons?
Strange how one can be so impressed by something, he knows so little about...
The concept of escaping the galaxy is awsome, but it would be nice to know more about it...
So I did some research:
Milky Way Galaxy is: ~100,000 light years in diameter; ~3,000 light years in thickness; ~250,000 light years in circumference.
Basically, its huge. The ratio of our solar system to the milky way galaxy is 1:65,000,000.
From this I believe that just about anything can escape the galaxy, it would just take an extremely long time. However, as I have stated, my knowledge on the subject is limited, so it is possible that the planets and stars are arranged in such a way, that the gravitational pull would always redirct any object to go back. (i.e.: meteors and asteroids pass Earth in patterns and intervals, without leaving the galaxy).
The subject is very interesting, and if someone could bring more light on it, it would be helpful...
But then again...maybe the person who submited this information is too stupid to differentiate between satires and facts.
I love THE ONION and I read that article a few days ago, but it must be obvious that it's a joke, and should remain with those who can present it appropriately. Not within a true news station to cause confusion!
The 13 kids were accused for breaking rules that they were warned and told about. An example used by one of the "criminals" was that "adults know that it is illigal to speed and are supposed to come to a complete stop on stop signs, but it doesn't stop them from running through."
Which is true, what was the last time you actually came to a FULL stop at a stop sign? If you are the only person on the road (or little traffic), do you really go at the speed limit, or do you go five to, say maybe, thirty miles per hour faster?
You may say the crimes are different, but it is because their crime isn't seen as common, since not as many people can relate to it at the moment. They hacked the system, but commited no crimes, changed no grades, destroyed no data. It seems pretty similar to me...
Im sorry if someone finds this offensive (I'm sure someone out there will), but HOW MUCH cAN YOU TALK ABOUT HTIS?
Did all news, international issues, and events the impact international association, which if gone bad can cause wars, just dissapear during the several days that the hurricane passed New Orleans?
Ofcourse it is important, and the destruction and the deaths and so on and so on... But I have yet to see anything on the news besides this...
Slashdot is our only salvation from the dying and exponentionally more worthless news media...
I just recently participated in a debate relating to the lunar exploration and the trip to the moon.
Within it I found about a movie, which was made as a mock film on the Lunar Landing, however was to Mars. The title escapes my mind, however the concept was it was entirely made on Earth and looked identical to the Lunar Landing (only the dust particles and soil as red/orange). The film imitated much of the scenery, lines, and exploration methods, depicting the lunar landing as being a movie script, presented as truth.
This is somewhat offtopic, I understand, but it is an interesting subject. But my thought was, it would be interesting to see the contradicitons in the graphical setup of this recreation and the original movie, er landing.
It will be interesting to see if the astronauts will be visible in shadows still and not feel anything after moving in and out of shadows (400 degrees Faranheit change), suit or no suit, that should tickle.
If I get the time and apportunity, I'd be interested to find these things out, hopefully some more clips will later be posted on slashdot on this topic.
Science classifies substances as different at minor compound changes. O and O2 are not the same, but they were both O. The two funciton and opperate differently, thus making them different. Same applies to the article.
Do you think that Macromedia are busting their own legs by applying such incredibly strict restrictions on use and distribution of their product(though it has been made clear it does not apply to laptops)?
Or are they just taking higher precautions in the security of their product, in hopes of avoiding furhter piracy or theft of it?
Either way, even for those who legaly purchase the products, will be subdued to inspections (if I understood the article correctly). This might be found as irritating or invasion of privacy (though legaly justified in legal agreement), which might cause customers to look for an alternative source.
Like I have stated in my first post, this is information I received from an environmental scientist.
I felt his word was more credible than mine, so I believed him. I do not do drugs, drink coffee or any of that, however you must be objective. If your always subjective, you will never see turth to all things and accomplish any progress.
No, everything that GROWS ISN'T good for you, however, not everything that grows is natural.
Currently, my word is just as much credible as yours (and I am going with mine, since I was told by a scientist). If you could provide me with a link with scientific data to proove otherwise, I will believe you.
For my argument below, alcohol isn't a natural product, so it is harmful for you.
But relating to your post, coffee never had any negative impact ON YOUR BODY. Only the possitive ones listed in the article. It only impacted your social/job schedule in a bad way, so it didn't fit you.
Personally, I don't use it, since I do not have use for it, but may up my usage from time to time after reading this. But some find it necessary to get them up in the morning or get them through the day.
Coffee is often considered to be "bad for you", however under guidance of a scientist, I found out that was just a stereotype.
Coffee is a naturally grown product, thus does not have bad influence on your body, just disrupts your your natural sleep cycle (and aids your social/job time cycle).
Just like marijuana it is a natural product that can be used in a way such as to aid you, according to this article at least. There are consequences of overusing each, though not benefitial, still do not harm your body.
Ever since the big court case, Microsoft has been losing their power and control over general computer software and this is just one of those steps.
This process will continue until Microsoft will just be one company, amongs many, who have major holds and controls over various aspects of computer science. Thought this will probably still take quite some time.
For somethign to float, it must have an equal amount or more of liquid to float on, it doesn't have to produce it. That is the ocean.
When ice is melted, it takes up SLIGHTLY more space, and when many tons of ice melt, it is quite an impact.
Thus, the global sea level would rise, AS IT HAS BEEN for quite some time on both poles.
http://www.grida.no/climate/vital/19.htm/
However, considering your input is correct, the impact from the South Pole would be much greater than North's, though each would influence global sea level.

This is an excellent review, thanks. If I had a PS2, this would have confirmed my purchase.

They're working on it. It's called Smack-Me-Smart.
They take people who are stupid, like really stupid, can't get any dumber stupid.
Then they hit them, until the stupid comes right out.
This process is often implemented in 3rd World Countries and states like Texas and Florida, onto children and wives.
The process is not yet perfected, but it is a work in progress.

The bigger the fuss the media makes of an event, the more exagurated its impact and importance becomes to society and general public...

My point was that it doesn't GROW naturally. You don't see alcohol beans or buzzfruits growing anywhere.
