I just had a really funny experience on my way home. I was riding along Clarendon, north of Montrose and noticed a vehicle was pacing me. I looked over, it was a huge, orange 1150cc BMW motorcycle. The rider was wearing full leathers and a red helmet with a full face shield. As I looked over, he flipped up the visor, turned his head towards me and held up 2 fingers. He said "2 wheels, and the cold ain't stoppin' us!" Then gunned his engine and went on his way. I think that's my best interaction with someone else on 2 wheels in the winter. |

The system uses brain electrodes to read signals meant for jaw and mouth muscles. An FM radio is used to transmit these brain signals to a computer, which transforms them into recognizable sounds. Currently the system is only able to produce vowels, but with more electrodes and more powerful algorithms it should be able to scale up to fully vocalized words.

Of course, nobody is getting a free lunch here. "Although the proposed engine will consume energy for manipulation of the particles, the propulsion will occur without any loss of mass," says Feigel. He even suggests, with masterful understatement, that this might have practical implications. So basically, you can create thrust by interacting with virtual particles that don't actually exist. It's not quite a zero-point generator, but it still relies on pushing against fiction. I guess it works basically the same way as turning electricity into thrust by pushing against a planetary magnetosphere, but without the planet?

on my ipod nano, when you were playing a song, you could scroll to certain parts of a song. on my ipod touch, that option doesn't come up. i don't know how to make it do that. for an hour, i had the option while playing the song, but now it's gone again. i just got my ipod touch this week, so it should be one of the newer ones. help? |
