It should. 1) Use 10.0 or 10.1 CD. 10.3 may no londer contain the OF patch for AIOs. Also, 2) Reset NVRAM (Cmd-Opt-P-R on powerup; do this several times) this is probably the step you are missing 3) Insert 10.0 CD, press the right keys for your AIO (Might not be just 'C' or Cmd-C for your model; I remember I had to press about 5 keys for one of the older models; google for it) 4) Your screen will flash while the patch is applied, then the machine will reboot 5) Press CD keys again, the machine will boot off the CD and proceed to install. 6) Upgrade to 10.3 from withing 10.1. Do not Cmd-Opt-P-R again if you want to continue to boot.
If you do not have 10.0 CD, find someone who has a patched AIO, then copy/paste bootr forth code using 'nvram' command using Terminal (need to 'su' or 'sudo nvram' for that).
10,000 synapses/cell sounds about right in a living brain. Some cells receive many more inputs directly, e.g. a Purkinje cell in a human cerebellum can receive up to 500,000 inputs from parallel fibers. It is impossible to visualize all these inputs.
Cultured neurons, i.e. what you get after you put a brain in a blender, then thinly spread the goo over a 2-D surface, receive about 10 to 100 inputs, if that. In this situation, with staining and labeling, one can trace all the inputs a given cell receives.
Neurons are extremely densely packed in brains to the point where it is impossible to visualize all the connections without serial sectioning and 3-D EM reconstruction (and that would take decades of technicians' time).
To be sure, 'tabletop fusion' is not the sensation here, compact (power-hungry) fusion devices have been used for decades as neutron sources. What's exciting here is the way the researchers claim to achieve 'fusion' and the huge energy savings such methods, if true, could lead to.
not to troll, but maybe he means People = Neurons + Muscles, etc. > Neurons ?
Also, in TFA's pictures they show Petri-dish neurons (i.e. not a picture of a brain slice), seems to be cortical interneurons or something, and probably transfected with fluorescent markers. This 'network' looks cool, but is really crap compaired to brain wiring. Like comparing a silicone molecule to an 11/780.
rocket: a device that can apply an acceleration to itself (a thrust) by expelling part of its mass with high speed in the opposite direction, due to the conservation of momentum.
Actually, given that delta-m (mass) of a rocket is near 0, it does not matter how fast it is going initially. If the ion thrusters can deliver about 9.8 m/s/s, such rocket will lift off! To keep delta-m close to 0, we need to fire ions at near-light speed, which cannot yet be done.
The problem with current ion thruster designs, as you pointed out, is the fact that they can deliver only very low acceleration, unusable for liftoff.
I see your point, and I agree that there is a larger problem somewhere in the system. But high-school science funding is a huge problem. Well funded private and public schools have small class sizes, dedicated, enthusiastic teachers, fun hands-on science experiments, something to capture young minds distracted by porn, sports, videogames, drugs.
Most schools in this country have non-existant science lab programs (dissolve NaCl in water, separate these metal shavings from sand with a magnet). Most science teachers are crap (e.g. teaching PE and some science on the side). Most poor students don't have the basic fascilities to get homework help (and yes, science and math are HARD, take TIME to understand and start liking them). Those interested in science AND able to get to college are weeded out due to lack of basic knowledge/concepts (sin2 x+ cos2 x=1, V=IR, N=6.022*10^23)
Not enough science PR in our classrooms, either. The students do not get to hear about Craig Venter, Flemming, Crieg and Watson, Oppenheimer. Instead they are hearing about what Paris Hilton sucked last month, how much money a basketball player can make, how much steroids can help some, how many bitches one can slap as a rapper, etc.
What can you expect when poor kids trully believe that basketball/army can be their ticket out of a trailorpark/ghetto?
In 1800's the Chinese started building a giant stepladder to reach the Moon. While some said they should wait for a better technology, the Emperor decided to sink the country's resources into the 'project' anyways "because the country needed to evolve modern stepladders if we're to reach Mars, if we're to populate the solar system, and if we're one day to go out among the stars"
I hope this litte joke illustrates the problem with what you are proposing. Do you realize that the Titan rockets burned 20,000 gal. of fuel per second (!) to go to the Moon. Current technology is no better; Crew Exploration Vehicle launchers will be about as efficient as the old Titans, so the money invested into the Moon missions will literally go up in (rocket exhaust) smoke!
What we need is a new propulsion system, something like the ion thruster prototypes the Europeans got (ions get expelled at near-light speed, with power coming from a nuclear reactor or solar batteries, hence very little fuel is actually needed; this tech is at a vaporvare-prototype stage due to lack of funding).
To be sure, Lockheed-Martin and NG want money to build 1960's junk relabeled as CEV at a premium, not asking for money for new fundamental research. If they invest the taxpayer money into fundamental research, they will have nothing to show for it to taxpayers for decades!
The truth is, companies cannot make profit off the fundamental research; this is why you need NSF, NIH (of government), or universities/non-profit labs to get the money, not the likes of Lockheed-Martin and NG, as would happen under this Orion scam.
question that we would necessarily have developed velcro, microcomputers, Tang, new alloys, biomedical advances, etc., by sending robotic ships to explore space.
Well, repeating the past is hardly going to help advance current science, don't you think?
We need fundamentally different, harder challenges! Why? Because going to the Moon is possible with 1960's technology, so actually going to the said Moon will sink hundreds of billions into the said 1960's technology!
Why not invest this US$ trillion or so into fusion research, quantum computing, neuroscience (so we can finally understand and replicate our brains, create a true AI).
Why not give that money to science teachers so that we don't need to import engineers from India, China, Russia? Why not turn that money into scholarships for the trailor/ghetto-trash youths, help them break out of the vicious circle of poverty-pregnancy-poverty?
A co-worker of mine awhile ago (win 98 days it i remember correctly) was giving a presentation off his laptop. He tried to go to his CDROM directory in explorer by typing F:, I guess...which the explorer helpfully autocompleted to Frenchpu**y.com
It will be curious to see whether the producers or consumers will have something equivalent to "market power" in this scenario.
No, this is a losing game for the consumers. The (pro-DRM) Industry spends billions on Congressional "contributions" to make sure the laws are pro-DRM. The (anti-DRM) consumers are misinformed, disorganized, and apathetic. Since EFF alone just cannot outspend the DRM lobbyists, and since the voters cannot outvote the corruption (both political parties take bribes; both support DRM), we have some nice pro-DRM laws.
Pro-DRM laws in turn mean that the hackers are now fighting against the Government in forms of police, courts, military, nukes even, if it comes to that! That's what being 'illegal' means: hackers are essentially designated economical terrorists; there is just no way they could possibly defeat DRM.
lifted the ban on blogs (reported previously on Slashdot) following pressure from the Indian blogger community
If the blogs were illegal, why is the Govt. caving in to such criminal 'blogger' community. This is pandering to the criminals. What next, Pakistan O.K.ing manufacture of C4 by terrorists?
India is on a slippery slope here; today they allow bloggers, tomorrow they got homosexuals burning Indian flags at their weddings to celebrate partial birth evolution.

I do suggest you at least glance over the first few chapters, look at the pictures.
Also note that the guy got his PhD in Physics at the age of 18 I believe.
put the original G3 back, then install.
10.3 will still be usable with 233Mhz G3 (or whatever your AIO had). With 512MB RAM it will fly!
AIO's had G3, not G4.
10.3 CAN be installed on those with a custom Open Firmware hack. Or install 10.1/10.2 on it, then upgrade to 10.3

I can explain if this is unclear.
Heh, good catch.

Not to worry, with our current technology the entire thing can be faked in CGI for half the cost of the original Apollo sound-staging.
