Actually, the state of Indiana has already begun a plan to revamp its 911 networks and allow citizens to transmit images wirelessly to emergency responders.
Howell and his colleagues created a four-inch-long chamber filled with cesium gas heated to about 212 degrees Fahrenheit. When they sent pulses of laser light through that gas, the cesium atoms put the brakes on the leading edge of that wave, creating a photonic traffic jam.
In the most striking of the new experiments a pulse of light that enters a transparent chamber filled with specially prepared cesium gas is pushed to speeds of 300 times the normal speed of light. That is so fast that, under these peculiar circumstances, the main part of the pulse exits the far side of the chamber even before it enters at the near side.
I'm a bit confused. Does Cesium speed thing up or slow things down?
The researchers conclude that the instantly conferred social status leads to health benefits.
Or maybe, being they took care of themselves in the first place, they did the work that won the prize asnd also lived a couple years longer?
This brings to mind a kid's tape with a song extolling eating bread, one verse basically says "if you eat my bread for one-hundred years, you will live long, and that is for sure".
and I was surfing from across the Atlantic using a slow dial-up connection I was using those days. I had just dialed out using my 14400 BPS modem, and when I visited Slashdot which was my usual first stop, I just happened to see that they had started accepting registrations.
Maybe that's it.
I also signed up early. But because of timezones, you were up earlier.
Cancer Drug May Not Get A Chance Due to Lack of Patent
Note the word "may".
But because it's not patented or owned by any drug firm, it would be an inexpensive drug to administer. And researchers may have a difficult time finding money for further research.
Speculation.
Dr. Dario Altieri, of the University of Massachusetts, said the drug is exactly what doctors need because it could limit side-effects for patients. But there are "market considerations" that drug companies would have to take into account.
Buesiness fact.
Michelakis remains hopeful he will be able to secure funding for further research.
As anybody would.
"We hope we can attract the interest of universities here in Canada and in the United States," said Michelakis.
Excellent.

The only news here is the drug itself and how things are moving along well. Yet, a speculation is reported as the main factor, when there is no supporting information for it. Did they even ask for funding yet? The researchers are taking the market into consideration, and the reporter seems to want to make a big deal out of it.
Even if the pharmaceutical companies do turn it down, and even if they do turn it down on the basis of no profit, it just means that the researches will have to do more presentation to find funding. If there is obvious promise in this (which there's have to be to get a pharmaceutical company to invest loads of cash) some organization, or college, or government grant will help pay for the studies.
With a number that low, my guess is your were invited, of course, it is just a guess, with no reason. Were you really one of the first fifteen people to sign up? Because, with a handle as long as yours, the extra keystroked should have pushed you later in the registration process.:P
i've been a slashdot fan since 1997. seems like the submissions, and comments, are getting further and further left.
Teenagers have flocked to the Internet because it is assumed that they can mask their immaturity in a seemingly objective arena. Slashdot, being a techy site, and therefore supposedly even more objective, attracts a large amount of adolescents.
Growing up in a family where parents of the sixties refuse to raise their kids properly, the parents selfish wants and needs create a socialistic attitude, where the kids get what they want for free and are screamed at at intervals.
This being their only knowledge, they apply it elsewhere--Leftist/Socialistic leanings--which are prized by other kids like them.
As a result, slashdot has tipped to the left. Not so much because the conservatives have left, but because its popularity has dragged in a young crew, and instead of smacking them until they recognize reality, it caters to their immature attitudes.
When they grow up and get jobs about half of them will become conservatives, unfortunately, more kiddies will take their erstwhile place.
While at the eye-doctor yesterday, i picked upa book about discoveries. It asked, how can someone discover a tribe, being the tribe was already there?! It said it meant dioscovery in the Western sense, that it was added to the collective knowledge (of the west).
Can the island be discovered? It matters in which way. Just proving that there is a land mass there won't prove anything other than the images, as you pointed out. Actually going there, mapping it, and seeing detail otherwise unknown, however, could be termed a discovery too.
A genius at electronics, he could not start a business for his life. So, he created an alter-ego, by taking everything that he isn't, and putting it into one new character. He names his new character as any techy would, by its function, and Mr. Jobs came to be. For a first name, he simply chose his own.
Think about it:
1) Can you imagine how two people so opposite can get together so well? 2) Have you ever seen the two of them together?
Apparently, he tried pawning off his DUPED (dual-user personality electronic disorder) to the cap'n, but it a bit of a crunch Drapier refused. Now, Woz is taking his sweet revenge with public humiliation.
Actually, i think 3.51 takes the cake. It was a solid machine, and was the first OS with the new interface (if installed from the CD as the "experimental" interface.)

There is a much better article on News.com.com: New York to use cell phone photographers to help fight crime
The service is to be implemented by PowerPhone which has a Press Release here: Technology delivers cell phone photos to 9-1-1 operators
Hey, thanx!
So Cesium slows things down....
Yet, this artcle which was reported on Slashot here, says
I'm a bit confused. Does Cesium speed thing up or slow things down?

I knew it was only a amtter of time.
Then again, how much time do you think actually passed between your registration and mine?
*Yawn*
That's got to be the most nauseating ad hominem attack on progressive thought that I have seen so far on Slashdot.
:)
It's not an ad hominem attack. It's a statement of truth.
I'm sorry, could you repeat that in Latin?

Yes, it is.

Can you really "discover" an island these days?
While at the eye-doctor yesterday, i picked upa book about discoveries. It asked, how can someone discover a tribe, being the tribe was already there?! It said it meant dioscovery in the Western sense, that it was added to the collective knowledge (of the west).
Can the island be discovered? It matters in which way. Just proving that there is a land mass there won't prove anything other than the images, as you pointed out. Actually going there, mapping it, and seeing detail otherwise unknown, however, could be termed a discovery too.
For all those interested, all the OceanLand Islands are property of me, and are being sold at $499,999,999.99 each.
Not only am i chepaer than the competition, my islands are real. Please, check them out, you'll warm up to them faster than you'd think.
Woz is amazing.
A genius at electronics, he could not start a business for his life. So, he created an alter-ego, by taking everything that he isn't, and putting it into one new character.

One might have an argument that it was the best ever Microsoft Server OS
:)
Which i do.
but to say it was the best version of Windows is too much IMHO.
I guess it depends what Windows is being used for.
For gaming, perhaps not. For stability, it did wonders.
Such as SCSI or RAID support, OEM sound cards that are not Creative, any kind of graphic card (starting with the dreaded S3-equipped ones)...and more?
Not sure about SCSI, but i never had iussues with sound and video. Plus, as a server, those are unrequired, which is what i think 3.51 was aimed at.
Such as?
I used it at home for a while, and came into it here and there as a server. I guess i didn't try too much to have any issues.
Win2k was the best MS OS ever.
Actually, i think 3.51 takes the cake. It was a solid machine, and was the first OS with the new interface (if installed from the CD as the "experimental" interface.)
MOAB came first and MOAF was a developer's answer to the bugs
What about MOOF???
