I don't know about cell infection rates of viruses but I worry about a drug that can kill off your own cells.
For instance: a virus(or multiple viruses) has infected 50% of you cells. Your cells continue to work normally for the most part(after all viruses use the normal cell operations to replicate). Then you take DRACO, your infected cells die within 24hrs. Again 50% infected cell is likely high(?). Do you think that you would feel an effect if 20% were infected? 10%?
As far as the detection of the viruses. They use a method of causing the cell to die when it detects long dsRNA(don't know what the ds stands for, wasn't covered in my high school science class) with strands >30 base pairs(They note that mammal cells generally don't produce dsRNA strands longer than 21~23 base pairs). So since viruses which contain only RNA get killed(along with the cell they infect). Though this leads to the possibility of viruses that have shorter RNA strands appearing(maybe?) or viruses that generate a blocking mechanism that prevents the collapse of the cell.
Recetly with my new(Samsung) phone, I was on a trip and I drained the battery. I didn't have my power cord with me so it was without power for about a day. It didn't have enough power to boot up but the alarm still worked.
But what are the chances that the user uses the exact same username/password for both the admin account and regular account? I would say the odds are pretty high.
The world is not as security minded as the average/. reader.
Facebook would also have the problem of the majority of their users complaining about needing two passwords for a single account or having to login with different accounts/passwords to get to certain functionality.
Earth is the only planet with life in the entire universe, or it isn't the only planet with life in the universe, either way the implications are astounding.
This falls into the realm of the problem: "I want it to be reliable, scalable, and be cheap."
You really only get to choose at most 2 out of the three.(there is the possibility that it could have none of the above)
Issues
--------------------
Electricity
Primary source: power grid
Secondary source: solar power/battery (battery can recharge off of solar power or power grid when possible)
Humidity
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with how humidity affects radar. But one option is to do is include humidity readings with the violation. Then do a large amount of testing at various speed/humidity to produce a error margin look-up for a given humidity. (this may result in the minor offenders to escape the fines(speed is within the error margin of speed limit), but you will get the major offenders)
Cheating
Well unless the source code for the system(s) that you purchase is open source you can't prove it one way or the other. Only other choice is to buy it from a reputable vendor.
I'm all for a stable energy source but there are several issues with nuclear facilities:
1. People tend to live on the coasts, & people tend to disapprove of any nuclear plants near their homes.(note I lived near(
2. Various security agencies see nuclear facilities as potential targets. (plane + nuclear plant = Chernobyl)
3. You need to store the spent fuel somewhere; no one wants to live near a nuclear dump. Even if it is out in the middle of nowhere you still have to transport the fuel there (through citys? on major highways?)
Red Mars(1st book) was great. In fact the psychologist talks about at least 2 different 2-axis grids that relate psychological state/emotion that I have plans on using for a chat bot.
I stopped mid way through the second book Green(?Blue?) Mars. I think it had to do with the book following a character(s) whose story didn't interest me.
The third book I can't comment on being that I haven't read it.
Lots of interesting topics/ideas:
Mars original environment preservation VS. immigration (Mar's natural habitat VS. development/progress/technology)
Longevity treatments for population of: under populated Mars VS. overpopulated Earth
Various habitats: tents, lava tunnels, asteroid/moon, ice
Technologies: automations, ultra-light flight vehicle, rock cars, space elevator
That being said I think I might try to start over and read the whole trilogy.
I agree to the "STICK TO THEM" policy in most cases(there are times when project sap vast amounts of money and still make little to no progress).
However, that being said what I would like to see is a set of 5-10 well outline projects with goals and have the people vote on the projects. No need for the easily influenced politicians to be involved when technology allows you to go directly to the people.
Also these projects could have a built in rule/law that the project could not be canceled until X number of years after started and only if it had missed 50% or more of its deadlines/milestones/goals during that time(allows cancellation for those money sapping unfeasible projects, but protects projects making progress).
Yes we don't want to have the people voting on every little project, but they could easily vote on the "lofty goal" of NASA every 8-10 years.
We will issue a free software update within a few weeks that incorporates the corrected formula.
This is implying that they offer software updates that they charge for in order to fix something that they didn't do right in the first place...
I understand and expect to be charged for large version changes especially when the content changes (iPhone3 -> iPhone4, xp -> win7, Super Mario Galaxy -> Super Mario Galaxy 2), but being charged for security updates and to fix "bugs"(?) in the software seems unreasonable.
I went and looked at the downloads for the RDS. I noticed something that contradicts the "free" aspect "freely available to everyone": "You should install Visual Studio (2008 or 2010) before you install RDS." @ MSDN download site for RDS
-admittedly this might mean that if you have both VS2010 and RDS you need to install VS2010 first to not cause installation problems. However, this seems that you need to pay for the $1000+ Visual studios before you can use this "free" RDS.
The new political statement of the 21th century:
"I don't like your point of view so I'm blocking your website from being accessed by the people of my (nation, region, city, ISP users, company, etc.)."
In other news Pakistan is experiencing massive depopulation. When ask why a family was moving the reply was: "I can't do any social networking when they blocked my access to Facebook!"
Yesterday's science fiction is today's technology which is obsolete tommorow. - Ok this a qoute or at least a paraphrase of one and I wish I knew who said it.

I remember Make Magazine having a project using: usb web cam + iRobot programmable base + router + usb hub.
If the router & web cam are controllable via the specified open source software.
Though this would obviously require funding.

In order to circumvent the treaty to not weaponize space, the USA plans to build "Hotels" in space.

???: Ares; Constellation; Phase out shuttle
Obama: Privatize LEO; No moon; Heavy lift rocket for Mars & asteroids
Armstrong: Denounces Obama's space plans
NASA: Scales back Constellation program (against a congressional ban)
Senate: Heavy Lifter using old tech(Atlas)
NASA: 5 Million for robot prizes
Senate: Add 1+ shuttle flight(s?); Ares rocket replaced by shuttle rocket + Orion capsule

At least there won't be any humans outside of the Earth's protective magnitic field since there will be no more missions to the moon.
