@wjh31: Agreed. 30 milliwatts isn't going to do much. Maybe it could be useful for extending a batteries life a little bit, but not much more than that.

@Settings: 20W is equivalent to 20V operating at 1 amp since power equals voltage time current.

I mean, is there really anyway for the human eye to discern the difference between to resolutions which are both below the eye's ability to resolve? I thought that was the whole point about the eye's ability to discern whether two lights are actually two or just one. If they are past the resolution threshold, it…

@CSVM: I didn't read the original article, but it looks to me like the first one is a laser scanning, confocal image which utilizes fluorescent dyes and proteins (hence the false-color appearance.) I've seen LSC images come out this clean; it's a pretty amazing technique.

@Jafro: Hahaha :-) Awesome!

@Jafro: This is true. I am familiar only with the versions which are not very portable. Do they make a "portable" power supply capable of providing 120/240 VAC power?

@brijazz: Three (or two) prong adapters are designed to use the AC (alternating current) power coming from outlets to create the lower voltage, DC (direct current) power used by the laptop. A battery like the one made by HyperMac provides the DC power directly; no conversion necessary. That is why you can't make a…

@Canon7D-Fanboy: Personally, I'm partial to Craig Ferguson. Anyone else?

I worked on an implantable pressure sensor for kids with hydrocephalus/cranial hypertension. I was amazed at how many procedures these patients often have over the course of a lifetime. The shunts can get clogged surprisingly easily and when that happens, you better get it taken care of fast. It doesn't take much to…

@Platypus Man: Or maybe that's exactly what the point of the movie was: to plant the idea and make you obsess about it. INCEPTION.

Do the stilts help reduce heat loss to the frozen ground? Or just keep the structures from becoming buried in a snow storm? Or am I completely missing the point?

Could using two, one on each eye, be used to create a stereoscopic effect? It could be an interesting experience having two 3D worlds overlaid atop one another.

@gerrrg: Have you ever tried something like IE Tab extension for Chrome and Firefox? I've used them a little, and they seem to work okay. Not sure if they work all the time though.

I would be cautious about doing this anywhere earthquakes or other seismic activity is possible. Although, I guess you could do something to secure the tower and keep it from toppling down on top of you and/or your workspace.

@TheFu: That's my vote! Something satisfying about actually crossing something off my list :-)

@techynottreky: Initially, there is no electromagnetic flux (emf) passing through the can. The can wants it to stay that way: it doesn't like change. When you flip the switch, there is a huge, sudden change in the flux passing through the can. Like I said, the can doesn't want to change from the initial state, so one…

@DrunkenMessiah: I wonder if you took a short video, then took vertical or horizontal lines from each frame and compiled them into a single frame. If I am understanding this "rolling shutter" business, that's basically what's happening: each line is from a slightly later point in time. Not sure what sort of frame rate…

@Firesphere: Beautiful Border Collie. They are so pretty and intelligent. My condolences.

@Kerensky97: I thought that was what all the excess babies were for...

Anyone ever wonder if the security suite providers have someone in the "back room" coming up with new viruses? That way they can have a solution before it even goes out and make themselves look like their more on top of the game than their competitors. Also, provides job security.
