another study i recently learnt in my psych class is that people how have high homophobia tend to get more aroused when watching same sex (male or female) erotic films.
the study was done on middle age men and they took a survey to have their homophobia rated. the independent variable was the erotic film displayed (opposite sexes vs same sexes) and the dependent variable was the increase in radius of the penis.
low homophobic men's penis grew radially larger than high homophobic men when watching opposite sex erotic films. however, high homophobic men's penis grew radially larger than low homophobic men when watching same sex erotic films.
this led to the conclusion that high homophobic men are actually in denial and has utilized one of our defense mechanisms known as reaction formation to help them cope with this denial.
I've always wanted to be able to control what someone is hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting, and smelling by directly sending electrical impulses to the brain. sorta like the Matrix. hehe.
anyway. i was thinking, if they go do this for sight, how hard would it be for the other 4 senses?
Unlike Earth, the Moon has no erosive capabilities to smooth the edges of rocks or dust.
what does that mean? in other words, what makes Earth have this ability and the moon not? is it water? different atmospheric pressure? atomospheric gases? different in gravitational pull?
i doubt a drivers license is much different than green card or visa. not all people crossing the border are US Citizens. for those that are residential aliens or have a temporary visa (student/working) would not have a valid U.S. passport. at this time, i don't see much difference in showing your green card or temporary visa from your drivers license.
All three shows that the person in question has been given access inside the country. i doubt people who are illegal immigrants are granted drivers license.
i never got where the money is spent on spacecrafts that are already in space such as the voyager. then again, i dont really understand what needs to be done to maintain such a program.
i thought once the voyager has been launched, the only thing left to do is wait for it to send information back. that sounds like just maintenance on the satellite that receives the information. is that where all the money is going? putting up satellites to receive information from the voyager?
or is the money going into fixing and servicing the voyager. i'm not sure how many missions the voyager has gone, but it always sounds like it takes it a really long time to get from one place to another, so servicing/mainenance only occurs when it returns right? how often does the voyager return?

It might be cheaper for them, and cheaper for us initially (the cost of purchasing the car), but in the long run, it's definitely going to cost us more. As someone stated, it's another degree of seperation for the original energy source. Instead of using the electrical energy directly to drive the car, we're using the energy compress gas. Anyone who's taken physics understands that there will be energy loss for every energy conversion due to heat loss, friction, etc.
In other words, we might be paying a couple thousand less that an electric car, but it'll come back to bite us when we need to pay more for electricity to drive the same distance an electric car can. of course, there's not enough statistics out there to show how much more electricity is required to drive a compressed air engine. that would be something interesting i'd like to see.
i would also like to see some other statistics such as the top speed it can reach. how far it can drive before it needs to be recharged. last i heard, electric cars can usually drive about 100 miles before needing a recharge, but that was a few years back and battery technology and engine technology should have advanced.
"Burning grass pellets makes sense; after all, it takes 70 days to grow a crop of grass for pellets, but it takes 70 million years to make fossil fuels."
you can't really compare 70 days of grass to 70 million years of fossil fuels. how much energy can i get from a barrel of grass pellets. i know i can get tons of energy from a barrel of fossil fuels. in fact, how far can my car drive on a tank full of grass pellets is my question.
If you say that, everything on earth is solar energy. All energy obtained from anything on earth comes from the sun. Wind energy comes from the sun. Water energy (dams) comes because the sun evaporates and then rain comes about creating a cycle.
Each step down the process, some energy is converted, but most is lost. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to extract solar energy too efficiently yet, and rely on energy that is prestored many many years ago.
Though the basic principles of hybrid operation are the same -- that is, an electric motor is used to assist a gasoline engine to reduce fuel consumption and emissions -- there are two types of hybrids.
The first type can propel itself using only the electric motor at very low speeds. The electric motor also has the ability to kick in and help out the gasoline engine when more power is needed, such as when passing or climbing a steep grade. The Toyota Prius and the Ford Escape Hybrid fall into this category.
The second type uses the electric motor only to assist the gasoline engine when it needs extra boost, again during brisk acceleration or when going up a hill. The Honda Insight and Civic Hybrid fall into the second category.
Therefore, unless you're driving really really slow or keep on accelerating or climb up a hill, which all three are bad for mileage, I don't see how u can get infinite mpg.
I've personally never seen a satallite phone in person, but they seem to exist. I've heard they were useful when you're in the middle of nowhere, where cell phone signals won't reach. i doubt the delay is too bad if satellite phones are usable. plus I'm pretty sure satellite phone minutes aren't cheap. Any long delays will be costing a lot of money.
I actually saw this at a google infosession. each dot represented where there was a search being done on google at that location at that given time. and they would move time and you could see when people in europe would goto sleep and when the americans would wake it as more and more dots appeared.
pretty neat. guess every internet user is inherently a spammer until provent innocent.

i'm a helpdesk technician for the budget finance department of my school. and i've gotta say i've met a wide array of people.
most of the people i deal with are nice. they greet me when i come in. they don't give me a hard time when i give them bad news. and generally, i get more respect than i deserve.
however, there are a few users that really piss me off. they believe since i'm getting paid to troubleshoot, it's my obligation to help them and they're sorta the boss paying me to fix their computer. when our school rolls out new software, they complain like there's no tomorrow, saying "this is going to be very inconvenient for me. what am i suppose to do now? you mean i have to insert my password everytime now? this is very annoying. i thought the computer was suppose to make our life easier. and etc"
i don't ever get the feeling that we're the evil tech guy, but i really hate it when users underappreciate the work that we technicians do. it's not like i was the one who decided on the policy change to use a new more secure software. i'm just the middle guy that goes around and gets the job done and fixes problems.
but like i said, most users are generally nice and appreciative of my work, but there will always be those few that will get on your nerve if you work in this industry.
we're really comparing apples and oranges here. on one side, 8-track and cassette tapes are analog media to to be able to play them requires special hardware for each of them. however, data stored on optical discs are digital formats, and to be able to play something digital is basically installing a software decoder, which probably is a chipset firmware upgradable.
that's why nowadays, you have dvd players that act as cd players, and pretty soon we'll have hdvd-players which will act simultaneously as a dvd and a cd player.
as long as the industry is supporting some sorta of optical disc format, we'll be able to retrieve information off optical discs back to the beginning of CDs.
but as someone earlier mention formats like trying to read word95 or access95 documents and not being able to, finding a convertor or reader for these types of files will be many many times easier than finding an old equipment to read off from analog media.
how the heck does he get to work then? fly? also how bout cleaning pollution and environment stuff. by working in NY, he is automatically exposed to the services NY provides no matter voluntarily or involuntarily.
but i do agree he should be taxed on 100% of his income, but rather a smaller percentage.

looking at that list, i can assume that updates are available for most of them, if not all that will render it usable with SP2.
i personally have several of those programs on my computers and they've been working fine and i have yet to see a BSOD.
that includes:

another good statistic would be how long it takes to recharge. i'd actually like to see Toshiba's One-Minute-Recharge Li-ion Batteries applied in this field.
switch over to cable broadband then.

In an effort to best Google, the company has upped its free email storage to one gigabyte.
when did this happen? i'm on their free account and it still only shows 250MB and a paid service for 2GB.
so has anyone been able to decipher what those graphs on the screenshots are saying? the magnify-glass feature on windows doesn't seem to help.
