Science
Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

WATER - Solve this one PRE-EMPTIVELY
Water covers about two-thirds of the Earth's surface,
admittedly. But most is too salty for use.
Only 2.5% of the world's water is not salty, and two-thirds
of that is locked up in the icecaps and glaciers.
Of what is left, about 20% is in remote areas, and much of
the rest arrives at the wrong time and place, as monsoons and
floods.
Humans have available less than 0.08% of all the Earth's
water. Yet over the next two decades our use is estimated to
increase by about 40%.

understanding what you see is different to seeing
"You can see things but you may not be able to recognise
things," Professor Yang told the BBC programme Go Digital.
"It is the only when the eye registers with the cognitive
part of the brain that things start to happen.
"We are trying to unravel how biological visual systems
work and reverse-engineer better computer vision systems," he
said.

Commentaries
The last moderator that exercised any control in this forum
was Scott Armel! You could "speak" to him and expect action.
He banished Robert for just the actions that you have noted.
Mr Armel bade his farewells as he moved to California, (I
beleive that he was a college student in NY city while
performing the moderator duties.) After his departure Robert
returned like the proverbial bad penny and after testing the
waters decided that he could misuse and abuse everyone since
they were all CIA operatives after his skin!!!!Robert is not
John Nash and his acumen is near imbecilic!
Robert, lchic and to some extent alarmist have proven that
given typewriters, three monkeys can fill this forum with
gibberish!!!
