Authorities should be alerted to outbreaks in each area and statistics should be available nation/worldwide. Seems reasonable to me to do this through general practitioners. It's better than telling people to go to the ER and report it.
Now I'm not saying that H1N1 is bad enough to warrant this kind of attention, but once it's been officially recognized as a pandemic or whatever certain procedures have to be followed.
What, do MP3s not play fast enough for you? Calls too short?
better
I think what you're trying to say is "even shinier". You will have the latest gadget is most of the added features list, and that somehow justifies the purchase for people. I'm not saying the Touch 2 isn't better- I'm just saying that it's not nearly enough to warrant buying another one!

I read somewhere (maybe in the Hitchhiker's Guide series?) of some company that released the exact same product every year. They would change only the version number, which was prominent somewhere on whatever item it was. People would keep buying it every year just so their friends don't see last year's version on their thing, which was considered unfashionable or poor.
I don't understand how a nano can pick up FM radio. According to my research, FM band radio in the US can have a wavelength of 3.4 meters. How do you pick that up on a device that's less than 10 centimeters long?
TFA doesn't address the real questions: who thought of this? I can't wait to pay 50% more for a second screen to my ebook reader so that I can look at both pages surrounding every other page break at the same time.
My Chemistry lab a few weeks ago had a blank at the top for SSN! I left it blank, but I took a peek at the stack when I handed it in and the girl in front of me had actually written in an SSN.
Why is a space program such a high priority? Manned missions to the moon are completely useless at this point. Unmanned missions are cheap. Pretty much anything would be a better use of money than moving a huge bubble of air and human to the moon and back so we can gawk and take pictures.
Well in this case he may be able to start making money immediately.
Camp out as a street performer. Tape RF emitters to your fingertips. Connect your camera or whatever to your laptop. Turn up laptop speakers to 100%. Rest your hands on a table and start playing the piano with your fingertips and no actual piano.
I'd imagine that it would be very easy to go from knowing which fingers look depressed to producing tones.
Extend it to rapidly decelerating drumsticks making thunk noises and you could have a thing going. Drumming on air.
[1]: If you have two algorithms each 256 bit, cascading them only gives you 257 bit security (256 + 256)
I think this is wrong. If you use the same key for both then it's still just 256 bit. If you use different keys then that's 2^256 * 2^256 giving you 512 bit. Right?
My guess is that miniaturizing a optical processor into silicon is probably going to be less powerful than normal optical processors. They should be factoring numbers larger than 15 before trying to fit it on a chip.
Quantum computing is extraordinarily difficult though, even just in theory, so I guess I understand why its development is so slow.
I wonder what the curve is for how much education you need to be terrified of the Shor's algorithm article rather than just mystified, and then how much more you need to master it. I'm deep into nightmare territory.
Wait that makes no sense. You just want to be able to access ebooks with no DRM from library computers? If it's from a library computer why do you care if they're DRMed or not? A non-DRM library system out of which you can't get ebook data is functionally equivalent to a DRM library system.
Getting data out of the locked down non-DRM system does sound like a fun problem though. Maybe you could manually type in and compile a QR code generator and hold up your phone and record a video of the screen while it flashes the data past:)
The REAL issues you come across are sources and citations. A friend of mine is majoring in Ancient Mideivel history and Archeology (I know, good luck with that, right?) and the biggest issue when he has to write a paper is some crap about it having to come from a peer reviewed source or some scholarly document. BASICALLY, in order for them to use any quotes or facts in their papers (which they must have at least 10 quotes in every paper) they have to go through the trouble of FINDING a book that has a check mark by some organization or another (Unesco? Maybe? I don't know).
What is he trying to source, a personal web site? It's academic writing: if you use external sources then they need to be peer reviewed by a "trusted" publisher.
Doesn't his school have access to EBSCOhost or something?

Ah that makes sense. Coiling the wire or listening with the volume up must cause all manner of interference though.
I think quarter-wavelength is typical. Divide those figures and it sounds about right

Would you really buy a new $250 iPod Touch just for the camera?
You already own it!
You don't decide what you want. Apple decides what you want.

Digital copies? Your school library probably has laser printers you know >:3
Too easy, Brian. Walk away.

I take it you haven't seen all the reports about falling IQ scores.
I meant we as gamers
But that doesn't have anything to do with how much lag we can detect
Devs make sweeping changes to critical kernel code so that a particular user space application performs better.
Hurd please save us
The goal isn't to gain popular market share.
Even if few people use it, the world's always better when someone writes an interesting app.
I wasn't talking about being terrified of the ramifications of QC. I was talking about being terrified of the math.
