"The artifacts would be designed to make the process of accessing the information clear with instructions in multiple languages or hieroglyphics"
So I can see it now.....
Person of the Future: "Oh What's this artifact?"
*Something appears*
Clippy: "Hi I am Clippy, your personal artifact assistant. Would you like to see the instructions in English?"
PF: "Yes"
Clippy: "I understand you are trying to write a letter, can I be of assistance?"
PF: "All hail Clippy!"
As a lefty also, I often look for way to make life easier for me. But using Brain Ages left handed feature is something I cannot stand. It is just plain backwards to me, but maybe I am a little more ambidextrous than what I give myself credit for.
Personally I think left-handedness is something that is partially, yes partially environmental and generational. Growing up, I was raised on the NES. If you didn't want to be the kid that got made fun of by everybody because you played "upside" you learned to adapt to using that controller. I still play my DS like a right handed person. I also use my mouse right handed also, because when I started using a computer, I didn't have the option of left and right hand mouse configurations.
Heck, when I had to walk 10 miles uphill both way to and from school, I walked with my right foot first. For some reason my LA Gear Light Up shoes had better traction on the right side.
We live in a right handed world. There are many things that are truly difficult for a lefty, such has spiral notebooks, scissors, and pens that smear the ink as you write. But a true left will adapt to the right handed world, otherwise we are no different than those damn dirty apes!
If you are anything like me, a true lefty you should be able to stimulate with your left hand and be able to use the mouse with your right. Especially if you need to quickly pause and minimize the screen.;-)
When Vista is released Adobe should come out with just as many versions of Acrobat. They should have a special 'government' edition. There is a button up on the toolbar, that says 'blackout' they press that and can blank out any of the secret data they want to hide.
"I've had more headaches with Linksys than I care to share. From faulty power connectors to lengthy manuals."
Isn't that sharing your headaches/problems? Plus how is a lengthy manual a problem? Most manuals for routers and hubs are lenghty from what I have experienced. Maybe some people like the n00b networking material I guess.
From reading this article it almost sounds like cancer cells operate much like the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). What the BBB is a system of higly specialized cells that allow only certain molecules to pass into the brain. It determines what these cells are through genetic makeup, size, and various other reference points. The BBB has been a problem is helping patients with mental problems, because most medications are restricted from reaching the brain due to the BBB.
However, with certain medical break throughs within the pharmaceutical companies, they were able to attach these medications to certain molecules who are able to pass through the BBB. Much like having a trojan horse effect again.
So this break through really isn't a new concept, it just hasn't been applied to cancerous cells. Basically what it comes down to is that they had to develop a new way to spoof the cancer cells, and using nanotechology seems to have been the best method for that.

Huh, Call of Duty 3. I think they may still be working together.
See you next year? Does that mean they are taking 2008 off? I think we should give this year too!
Your slashdot id maybe lower, but my gamerscore is higher!
These damn whipper snappers and their Internet2. Back in my day we didn't have the internet, we had to bang rocks together to communicate.

It is actually a hybrid of the MSN Guy and Pacman.
I for one welcome our new space breathing animal (or maybe even bacteria) overlords!
Those screenshots sure remind me a lot of the Windows 3D Maze screensaver.

I always tried to find my way out but never could, I always ended up at this bluescreen.
