Yes the lungs are collapsed completely. A seal, as I understand it, has extremely haemoglobin rich blood and stores all its oxygen there for the dive.

The terminal cancer patient and the pension fund are not the entire field of shareholders. Your scenario does not contradict the idea of a zero sum game for the whole stockholdings of a company, or the stockmarket as a whole.

I would guess a lot of them cycle through a short list of easy-to-remember passwords instead. It might be interesting to see how many actually try to sincerely pick that new, secure, password.

I had a recurrent kidney infection a few years ago, and they inserted a camera up into my bladder this way to have a look. It really wasn't that bad but I did notice that when the doctor was getting ready, the nurse subtly became very

I'm sure Dr Gunther von Hagens would be interested in preserving this, if they didn't have any other ideas. Plastination is the process of replacing liquids and fats in the body by plastics, and IIRC if you use silicone it even fe

There is the obvious, using this technology to put words in somebodies mouth. The more nefarious though, is that certain people who lie all the time can easily claim that a lie you recorded them saying wasn't them and now you can'

12 wires attached to his torso, recording all the electrical impulses from various points, tracing out a graph. They call this an electrocardiogram (ECG) but the one I had for a medical didn't have 12 leads just 5 or 7 I think.

In the UK at least, trespassing is not a crime. The store would have to bring a prosecution and prove damages, so far as I know.

There might be a nuance missing, in that if you compare a plane journey vs a cruise you are of course not comparing like to like if you only consider 'CO2 per passenger mile' as aeroplanes are used to travel further than a cruise

Also, they are worried about slime build up. but in the case of using that as a motor rather than generator, I wonder if that would be an issue at all, or if once activated it would just push the slime off..?

No, they are not proposing 56 bit key lengths. I understand the key is always 128 bits. They are saying that the entropy should be minimum of 56 bits. In fact the entropy is always 128 bits but this negotiation reduces it because 'so

I think an attacker can disrupt already existing connections causing them to reconnect but if they try to re-pair then operator interaction would be required. I think that this attack only works when the encryption is being negotiated, whic

That is really cool. I also liked "The Clock", a 24hr film montage with every scene showing a clock with the correct time. I didn't see much of it but it was mesmerising to watch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
