Shutter speed does not = ISO. They are seperate concepts.

It's not a trend, I've been following green movements pretty much since I was bord (79). It may be more mainstream now.. but not a trend at all.

Again @ Reener, Just to add:

'Using Brain MERMER Testing to Detect Concealed Knowledge Despite Efforts to Conceal' comes from the Journal of Forsensic Sciences which has an impact factor of about 1. Not very impressive (although does not necessarily mean the article is bad). Add to this: n=6 subjects. Add to this, the fact that the author is chairman and chief scientist at a company selling such techniques. Now let us add this: Dr Quackwell 'discovered that the P300 was one aspect of a larger brain-wave response that he named and patented'. He has patented a brain wave response!

Oh and there is more: 'Dr. Farwell conducted a Brain Fingerprinting test on Terry Harrington, who is serving a life sentence in Iowa for a 1977 murder. The test showed that the record stored in Harrington's brain did not match the crime scene and did match the alibi.' The RECORD STORED IN HARRINGTONS brain!! Has someone possibly missed the last few decades of memory research.

'The article concludes with a discussion of areas of future research and the potential for using this new technology as an investigative tool in criminal cases.' This is exactly what such methods could POSSIBLY be useful for. As long as it's a tool of investigation and not a tool of lawyers, we might be safe.

Never quote scientific sources before you've had time to read and critique them (I say despite only reading the abstract)!

This is very sad and somewhat scary. While I live in the UK and think it is unlikely it would come here, similar ideas are floated in the US. Specifically using MRI technology, which is currently equally inappropriate (I'm a neuroimager). @ Reneer, just because there are some journal articles, does not in any way mean that the general ideas are sound. There are many crazy journal articles (look for the one reporting an association between the use of high-heeled shoes and schizophrenia.

As has been said: do not let this come to your country. Do just about anything to stop it. And give some money to Amnesty International to help the stop this kind of bullshit in countries that don't know better.

Yeah, the number of times I've been hospitalised due to infections caught in public toilets, it's crazy. Must have been... I really need an electric tap to help me. No really. Idiots.

'a typical "genius" (or anyone of higher than average intelligence) uses less of their brain than an average person'

Amazing how people can spout such rubbish. Where is the evidence? We don't even have the technology to make such a claim, let alone the scientific knowledge.

'fewer neurons equals a more efficient brain' umm efficient at what? Flies dont have many neurons and they are very efficient at flying, but not (as far as I know) quantum physics. If I remove half your neurons, let me see you be efficient with them (although perhaps someone has already done that).

If we grossly simplify, the consensus probably says the more neurons the better BUT, it depends how they are connected and what they have to do. You need a lot of well connected neurons to make a dogs nose work properly, but that does not help the dog speak fluent Russian.

Where did you find that gem?

I only realised recently after getting the DROBO I don't really need a RAID type solution - especially thiers. With the droboshare, there is NO password protection for individual users, so anyone who has access can delete anything. That's deleted across the array, no way to get it back. The droboshare is thus s**t. Good for one user only... how is that sharing...

Perhaps the comminity can do what the makers cannot and make this work properly.

This is STUPID. If you live in an area without tap water, you'd generally be much better off using a solar still.

A small one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_still

Nothing environmentally friendly about the Klimatic Base 1 AirWater Machine

The VPN update really is a biggy for those who have had problems (whole universities worth of mac users) connecting to thier work networks for more than 5 minutes. Previously I'd been forced to run windows in fusion and access from there!
