  1. Mind Reading... Think again on Scientists 'Read Thoughts' Using Brain Scans · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This isn't mind reading, they seem to be far from it. This is just a crude process that still has yet to show actual results. Actual mind reading devices are probably 45-60 yrs away. There needs to be many major break throughs in understand human physiology and a better understanding of how the brain works. Unless someone shows up with a whole neural map of the brain and in detail specifics what each nerve ending and so on does, than this kinda technology has some years to go. But if someone were to come out with that within the next 5 yrs, cut that time frame in half.

  2. Who cares on Reputation System Fights P2P Junk · · Score: 1

    So what if there is crap out there, your an idoit if you download it, it's your fault, serves you right. Your dumb if you download the crap, hopefully you can read and you should be able to decipher the crap from the good stuff anyway. That is how people normally get viruses, they are always messing with crap that they dont understand. Learn how to surf the web if your going to get illegally downloaded stuff. Your going to end up getting screwed if you dont know what your doing.

  3. Let the Truth be Told on Wireless Networking Speeds of 540 Mbps w/ 802.11n · · Score: 1

    People have to understand that this technology will be pretty much useless, unless they can develop faster processors and better computers in general before this technology comes out. The real throughput on this crap will probably be 350Mbps, providing that you have a top of the line machine and all the options that allow for this speed to occur are actually on. Someone mentioned something about electricty effecting people from powering this of something. Something about 1megawatt or something. First you should do a little bit of research, its the RF(Radio Frequencies) that may or may not effect people in the long run. The only way that you can truely be effected by the RF is to have you head places on the router day and night for about 10-15 yrs. Then it is possible, but highly unlikely that you can develop some type or cancer or something from this. Hell if you do develop something it will probably be genetic anyway. Someone else mentioned mandatory security. Security for wireless devices now-a-days comes standard. Its up to the losers... I mean users to enable the WEP (Wireless Encryption Protection) and protect themselves for bandwidth leeches and etc... People may not understand that radio waves are used to produce wireless signals. If you want a good connection you are going to have to make yourself have a good connection. And by that I mean you need to take the steps necessary to ensure that you are getting what you paid for. Make sure that you enable all of the settings that allow for the most effecient and protected wireless connection on the router. Then you should adjust you hardware according to the environment, there are materials that will absorb radio waves and distort them. Try to make your router and wireless device have as clear a path as you can between them to ensure a quality connection. Then I could go on and on but I am sure that most people know this. I could go into algorithms and stuff but i'd rather not. Basically what I want to say is that someone need to develop a better way to package information and then you will have a faster connection, what they are doing right now is pretty much making the highway bigger, and what I am saying is basically someone needs to find a way to make the cars smaller :) I hope that this little bit that I said was education for some and not an utter waste of my time. Oh yes, and please excuse the typing errors if any are present.
