While the five-tier defense system of the NSA computer network is well-publicized, few people know about the hidden "sixth tier" of defense run by the sysadmin superman "The Plague" It is comprised mainly of an overwhelming number of "garbage files" to muddle even the most leet hax0r. It seems quite unlikely that anyone will ever hack the Gibson.
Finally, a tech company that will pay handsomely for my military skills when I get out.
But how will I lead my commando team against the Axis-of-Do-No-Evil without being spotted on Google Earth? Confound it!
These computers will obviously be exploited by terrorist cells.
Sure, you say they're not very powerful computers.....but imagine a Beowulf cluster of 'Community PCs'!
A republican-backed appropriations bill was signed by President Bush today amidst much controversy over an "11th hour" rider attached which allocated up to 186 billion dollars by 2009 to a multinational project to "drastically improve the 'scales of justice'"
This was proven in the late 90's in a Japanese lab. The experiment was similar and involved muon neutrinos changing flavors to electron neutrinos in a large particle accelerator. The real question is how many eV are the combined masses of the three flavors? The answer to that question portends much for the state of the universe.
[blockquote]He began researching the topic when a neighbour expressed the belief that electricity was dangerous. In an act of desperation brought on by constant pain, he did something he initially thought was off-the-wall. He spent $1,000 on filters that, much like surge protectors on a computer, clean up fluctuations and surges in the electricity flowing in the wires around his home.[/blockquote]
It never occured to him that it might be about $1,000 cheaper to turn off his electricity for a day or two and see how he felt?
The brain exhibits a property called neuroplasticity meaning that it will reorganize its parts for greater efficiency. When brain cells are damaged, other brain cells rearrange themselves to absorb the function that the damaged brain cells can no longer perform. Researchers doing experiments on brain-controlled prosthetics noticed that they did not have to place electrodes precisely on the brain because the brain would recognize the function of the electrodes and organize its neurons to facilitate their effectiveness (in effect, recognizing them as neurons).
Seems like programming for a neural network would have much of the same difficulties as quantum computing, only without the considerable advantage of computing power that quantum computing provides.
Let's be honest, they just want to get in our brraaiinns..
In other news, Icelandic scientists have set up a network of precisely timed explosive devices in a tunnel into the heart of the volcano in order to harvest billions of dollars worth of "blue diamonds" extremely useful for use in electronics.

I have to say I'm a bit jealous of the JW church; I've been asking the Vatican for an Excel spreadsheet of what is and isn't a sin for years.

Tagging system says it all: slashvertisement
Ironically that's how Google got patent ownership of a new sports drink developed in the mysterious "Google Labs" They're calling it "Googleade"

Probably has something to do with all the contractors they'd have to pay for breaking off previously settled agreements.
Try dropping a hard drive from one meter and see if it still works. Guess we'll all have to wear tinfoil hats to protect our braindisks.

What about applications outside of the cranium? When will we see people with Skywalker hands?

Maybe someone realized he planned to redirect all the scientific funding to "religious studies"
Wait till some genius pitches his idea to the board of directors that they could get so much more energy from the volcano if they induced an eruption!

It's not music, it's just data? Wonder how that affects RIAA and the DRM debate.
Unfortunately Russians always turn left after the third Crazy Ivan, which makes them too predictable for real naval warfare.
The non-diseased white meat.
Saturday morning in Kuwait :/
It's okay, tax breaks aren't tax dollars, they're tax [i]undollars[/i].
I for one welcome our new congressional overlords...oversight.
Sounds like an ATI-killer to me! What ever happened to the hype about dedicated physics chips?
"Television, the new phone-killer!"
fatduck has an interesting look at the big three nerd newsfeeds with some unsurprising results.
