CS grads are a dime a dozen in the job market; I like my job, but career-wise, the field's been played out. If you're about to go into college, and especially if you like to reverse-engineer stuff "because it's fun", get into bioinformatics, computational biology, and do your CS as a minor. At least, that's what I'd do if I were gonna start over.

The solution: They should have a duct tape dispenser at the ticket-taker booth and every single person should have their mouths taped shut. There we go, a solution to all the problems.
The theatres would never go for that. They'd lose all of their popcorn income.
"Small is beautiful"? These people are programming a machine with a 200MHz RISC chip with 32Mbytes of memory. That isn't small, that's high-end desk-top performance of a few years ago.
I just upgraded from a machine like that this past weekend, and I could run Diablo II and the Sims on it.
If the ISPs that these ParaNet providers are using for their Internet connection are in competition with the ParaNets, won't the ISPs make it a TOS that you can't use your system as a ParaNet host?
People have also retreived stem cells from fat removed in liposuction. I'm sure that'd be an inexhaustible resource as far as research is concerned. It was reported in a recent volume of Tissue Engineering, but their webpage seems to be down now.

As a Canadian who has been to the states often enough to understand mass transit in both countries, I quickly realised that mass transit ONLY works in huge cities: Toronto, Vancouver
Oh yeah, transit works great in Vancouver. Just look at how much money Translink has saved over the last three months!
And BC Hydro (the provinical power company) last year turned a $1 billion profit, the first company ever in the history of British Columbia to do so.
BC Hydro was going to give back a bunch of money to their customers (i.e. me), but now that all the CA power guys are going bankrupt, it doesn't look like BC Hydro's going to get paid. So, because California would rather have slightly less smog than electric power 365 days a year, we Canadians lose out on cash dollars.
Didn't they have TV like this in science-fiction stories starting a long time ago, and even recently being filmed? (e.g. EdTV, The Truman Show)
Can't TV people even make up their own crappy ideas anymore? Do they have to steal from literature (like The Running Man and Killerbowl (or whatever the heck that Gary Wolf book was called))?
I wouldn't recommend this for a 13 year old. Lots of pretty intense although not too totally explicit sexual situations, frequent gory violence. For adults though, it's great!

less to break down, and spilled drinks and food (as long as they aren't too hot) are actually welcome...
No caffeine, though -- it makes the travelator hyper.
It's already a shirt and everything!

Or you could just get a whole degree in bioinformatics.
Did anyone else think that said "European Life"?

For example, first he starts with glue.. thats somewhat understandable, given the size of these projects.
I'd give him glue, but the rest of it moves these out of the realm of Lego and into the "mixed media artwork" area.
On the otherhand, software has NEVER been broadcast over public airwaves or freely distributed in your public library.
I work in a public library, and people check out software from us all the time.

What is that? Something that squirts high-pressure water around in his brain? That can't be good.

There's nothing about an ornithopter on the link in the article. Searching space.com, I couldn't find anything about one.
Checked the news page for it and the first item mentions how the robot is not for sale.

This sucks.

It was pretty great (I read it when I was about 8). There is a teeny-tiny bit of sex in it if that bothers you (like one short scene).

re: the Paul Hogan stuff. That should be James Hogan (not Paul, he was Crocodile Dundee).
