   I remember taking a wireless sensor course and how they were talking about a situation at Intel headquarters trying to synchronize conference rooms. It ended up being similar to travel scheduling which is as it turns out, a hard problem.

   Being smart got me a well paying job. For about 3 hours of work I can make it happen + tips. But seriously, I'm not willing to "get some" because it requires me to do things I don't want or willing to. It's sort of like PG's essay on popula

   I've always wanted to see an open source bipedal walking bot, too, but this will do. :)

   Could you tell us more? This sounds like a near-epic hack. I have an idea of how it would work. Whenever I tried dumping to /dev/audio it always came out too fast.

    I understand. Somedays it feels like I can vote for either commies or facists and no one else.

    Here's my take: I went to Shit Hole State University, well outside of cali and SV. In the cubicle next to me was a Stanford Master's grad. He and I made similar salary, did similar work. He got to be in more debt, though, and as a bit of a

    I one read from a satirist that it is hard to be satirical about the future since it keeps coming true. :) Seriously, though, if one were to enter into a neuroscience md/phd program now in the 8 years or so when they finish the technology m

    You know? This was one hell of an education, the kind of thing I wish I could read and learn more about.

    I can think of one: all US debt is printed in US dollars and there is only one source of us dollars. I'm not sure how big of a deal that is.

    True...so what about a remote desktop + virtualized solution, though? Actually, that might be more expensive

    At the very least it would provide interesting FPGA technology. I think most engineers recognize that the brain has a lot of unknowns. When you say "educate" what exactly do you mean? We can train neural networks now to, say, recognize hand

    Biology is very much a show-me science and I've always wondered about Society of Mind ... what's his proof? I mean seriously, is it all just reasoned out? Is it like philosophy?

    I remember seeing a wearable system from MIT Media lab in 1996 or so. They estimated $2,000 or so to build one and had a sort of HUD/video goggles, sort of like today's VR920. I think network connection was handled with GPRS...I think.

    Maybe not. I got a Sony Reader and one problem that was immediately obvious was the screen was too small for any kind of document with diagrams or code listings. Works great for novels, though.
