Wifi, in the 2.4GHz region is a form of EMF radiation like the sun, and cellphones as all the/.'ers are stating. However,
At 2.4GHz radiation has higher energy due to its high frequency. Along with this it also happens to be the frequency at which water resonates. This is the principle microwaves operate on. Microwave Ovens are quoted "650W", Wifi operates at approximately 10mW.
The distant-energy of a radiative source is 1/distance squared. People are worried that a cell phone, right *next* to your brain, will send the 10mW directly into your brain tissue. Thinner skulls = More brain exposed. It is a valid concern.
I do work on 50W radiative inductive power systems at 200KHz, I need to be educated to make sure I can have kids in the future =)
This is exactly like finger printing everyone in the state. Privacy has gone out the window. Making use of photos which people allowed for use on their license, to be used to finger them is criminal.
The US released a strategy document saying they keep 10 years ahead of civilian technology. That Epson micro-robot would be alot smaller with 10 years additional technology. I wouldn't be surprised if the DoD already have flying Robot-Hornets.
hey yeah I see your point, but mine was that we dont want it to happen! lol.. you can agree with that right? So based on patterns seen before we should try and prevent it.
Ice cores date carbon dioxide and temperature back hundreds of thousands of years, over 3 or 4 ice ages. The last ice age was relatively recently, they are worried we'll enter another ice age prematurely.
Global warming has happened, is happening, and they're worried it'll happen again too soon.
We are witnessing the downfall of the United States of America. It won't be long before China is the new super power. Don't struggle USA, it was determined long before now. I would welcome in China as our new Overlord, but I don't like it as an alternative.
Im just graduating final year engineering. Thought I would make a addressbook so you can be reminded to get in touch with fellow students. Ive called it www.addressbook.ws. Below is email Im sending out tomorrow once the domain name propogates. In the mean time www.astro.org.nz/addressbook.
Hello fellow students,
Now our paths are diverging it is important to keep in touch so we can laugh at each other's wrinkles later on.
A few months ago I lost my address-book, and dozens of contact details. So I made an online address-book which I could access anywhere and would be safe!
Then I thought that it would be cool if my address-book reminded me to get in touch with people every 6 months or so. So I designed a website to send me emails of people I haven't talked to in a while.
And before I knew it, Voila! The friendly online address-book was born. I thought I would share this with you rascals so you too can keep in touch with each other, and with your business-networks as they grow in the future.
So you can find it here: www.addressbook.ws
Save it too your favourites! It's the last address-book you'll ever need. Let me know if you have any suggestions/requests. This isn't like "MySpace". You don't need a "profile". This is simply a copy of your own personal address-book which emails you =P. You can add new contacts, such as job networks, or student buddies to make sure you keep in touch as time passes.
Reallllly news worthy material?? $430/day could be earnt through a legitimate high end wage(157k/year). Normally the saying "crime pays" refers to paying more then you could earn otherwise. If he'd go back to school could probably do better then that.
Ignoring the tear-jerk BBC trash, sure Iran has a poor human right history. But how many murders are commited because of the strong stance against crime? I heard somewhere there were 11,000 gunnings in US per year. That doesnt really stack up against Iran's 159 executions. I'm an independant european, from a western nation, taking a critical look at it. Don't judge so fast when every country in the world has enormous problems of its own.
Let Iran have nuclear electricity. Im more worried about when the next US-nutjob-president will end the world with his stock pile of 6,000 warheads.
Installing windows on a dodgy machine, only way to keep the system from hanging was to click the mouse constantly, not not too much. Too much and it crashed anyway,
Of course it was a 486 so install took hours. But windows got installed in the end.
This is an excellent but truely saddening article. The same way the oceans were seemingly impervious to human actions for the past 50 years - how much harder will it be for us to clean up the mess.. or more likely we are going to just write off beautiful oceans and show our kids photos.
The fundemental difference between the novel 1984 and todays society is that we are not locked away for openly disagreeing with government policy. Sure our behaviour is recorded, which I despise, but we still have free speech.
Had these on Pears for years. They simply drive up the price of the fruit and add to the global plastic waste problem. The pears are packaged in packs of 4 in a plastic container.
This is interesting development in light of the advances of the hardware methods for neural networks. There seems to be two routes to mimic AI / biology; Hardware simulation of neurons, and biological embedding of neurons on chips.
The article says its to "identify a compound" which is achieved by embedding the olfactory/taste/heat etc neurons on chips and monitoring the signals generated. These neurons have special proteins in their membranes to identify the compounds, but this could very easily be extended to AI networks, and opens up alot more possibility.
Robotic control algorithms brached in the 50's-60's into serial control and neurological control. The processing limitations in earlier days inhibited the latter development path, but there have been a number of interesting developments like this one recently showing progression of the neural paths - eg Sony Robodog a few days earlier.
Here in NZ we pay $50 ($25USD) for 10GB traffic and 2Mbit connection! Thats enough for 50 cans of coke...5000 1c lollies...17 cafe quality coffees!
I cant wait for speed over 2mbit:(

"but cubes are virtually unheard of" :P
Isn't the UK cube your "House"
cram 15 million people in a london and its called your "house"
Gates certainly has the money to be a president...

WA Hoo! We made the news!
Automated machine gun mount.. just a matter of time before someone gives it legs/tracks and then some intelligence so it knows what to shoot.

Goodluck for exams

This is probably mistaking causality.
Being overweight doesn't make you stupid,
being stupid means you have higher chance of getting over weight because you don't monitor diet/understand proper eating.

How much would a dope dealer earn in a year?

Just squeeze the pears for crying out loud.

thats what Agent Smith thought, and we all know how that turned out..
they found aunt martha! we've been looking for the old bird for years!
