the brain is more akin to an FPGA than a CPU. A CPU brain would be genetically programmed from the ground up, forever rigid. An FPGA brain is a highly adaptable circuit, more-so when its young rather than old. If part of it isn't working, it can be reprogrammed. May not be easy, but it can be done.
"Every one of us has a thousand different kinds of... of little people inside of us. And some of them want to get out and be wild, and some want to be sad or happy or inventive or... or even just go dancing. That's why we all have so many different urges at different times. And all those different little people inside of us... we must never be afraid to take them with us, wherever we go."

The NSA has had great success with Red Teams and competitions between security experts in helping learn how to better secure sensitive data and to keep up to date with the latest attack techniques.
What are your plans to utilize this powerful technique? If applied elsewhere, Red Team competitions can help better secure other aspects of the internet and to stay uptodate.
A skilled hunter can still miss a shot, and will be frustrated when the game gets away. If realism is the goal, getting the perfect shot the first time is not the way to go.
This drab technology is no more amazing than the "cloaking" technology that hides copper in infrared. Its ridiculous technology like this that becomes tomorrow's practical application, somehow somewhere.
Who the hell would have thought shooting light in a beam would be so useful?
Let's define "The enemy":
9/11: Al Qaeda, and a month later the Taliban
late 2002/2003: Saddam/Baathists
2004 on: Shiite/Suni Militias, Al Sadr, etc. etc.
Sure Saddam was a POS leader, but he was probably better than Kim Jong Il is and we before going into Iraq we didn't have to fight 5 fronts at the same time while burning a F'in huge hole in our national budget.
If Duyba had left "the enemy" to simply Al Qaeda, we'd not have spent untold billions in Iraq, our international relations would be less strained, we'd have 4000+ less war dead (Not mentioning the tens and tens of thousands of soldiers with mental/physical problems), tens of thousands of less Iraqi dead,etc.
he gives Americans hope, and that is something. In terms of his tactical abilities to coordinate all that needs to be done, I just hope he has one hell of a good cabinet.
And burn lots more mercury-spewing coal? And lose all that energy to transmission and conversion inefficiencies?
Give me a break. The whole nation uses 50% coal, and electric cars are not even.001% of the electric demand today. They'll still be a tiny percentage 10 years down the road.
I do agree that America's power system needs serious upgrading. Power generation has to become local, and it has to become renewable. By driving it local you reduce transmission inefficiencies, and by going renewable you've got less pollution.
By railing against electric cars simply because they're not perfectly green is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The infrastructure today isn't all the green, so of course anything it produces won't be all that green. NOTHING is perfectly green, and being a green purist will keep us in the status quo. The production of electric cars may even be as dirty as production of regular cars for the first few years. The real qualifier is that ultimately, with local power production, the electric car greener than a gas car.
Greetings hackers: Esquire's special E-Ink cover includes two flexible displays that should last for a few months. But the flashing could last longer if you want to try to replace the embedded batteries or find other sources of power. If you come up with inventive ways to extend the power or to hack the circuit board, displays, or the E Ink technology itself, let us know by sending an email to editor@esquire.com and we'll post your results here on Esquire.com. We should tell you, it's not easy and requires some expertise... but you're pretty clever, right? Show us something we don't know.
If this guy would like to impress his boss by saving money, go old school.
Buy one of the old Handheld PCs (NEC mobile pro series, Cassiopia, etc.), and just keep it to SIMPLE slides that you can backport to office 97. (just make sure its running windows CE with powerpoint presenter on it)
These oldschool handhelds are as cheap as water on ebay, and all the cables, computer, etc. could be had for below 100$. Just keep the slides down to something really, really simple and backvert it to office 97.

You just summerized "high-tech" advertising for the next 50 years! May I ask, where did you get your crystal ball?
I find it hard to believe that something as critical as the electronics system in an airplane would be so prone to cell calls.
