...earned less than she would have made in the U.S. over the same period. If she didn't have Polish roots to start with, she's tried to grow them on the job. In 1994 Lundberg bought a home on the outskirts of Warsaw (relocating six families in the process) and characteristically took it down to bare bricks before renovating from scratch with the help of renowned local artisans. She can follow a conversation in Polish, and her two children now speak the language fluently. She says that Poles are even more "anarchist" than Americans and that she believes there...
...another Assad should become President was retired, and a former Prime Minister was arrested on corruption charges. Soon after, the entire 37-member cabinet resigned en masse, allowing Bashar to recommend suitable candidates for some jobs in the new cabinet. "An improved administration is the key to this process," he told Al-Hayat, a London-based Arabic paper...
...projects, on the tiniest scale, using molecules and even individual atoms as building blocks. And that in turn means you can make literally anything at all, from scratch--for the altering and rearrangement of molecules is ultimately what chemistry and biology come down to, and manufacturing is simply the process of taking huge collections of molecules and forming them into useful objects...
Nanobot technology will be able to expand our minds in virtually any imaginable way. Our brains today are relatively fixed in design. Although we do add patterns of interneuronal connections and neurotransmitter concentrations as a normal part of the learning process, the current overall capacity of the human brain is highly constrained, restricted to a mere 100 trillion connections. Since the nanobots will be communicating with one another over a wireless local area network, they can create any set of neural connections, break existing connections (by suppressing neural firing) and create new hybrid (i.e., combined biological and nonbiological) networks...
...adamant in supporting a federal hate crimes law, and his wife, running for the U.S. Senate, is just as passionately unthinking on the subject, and so is Al Gore. And now, in New York, the Republican establishment (including Governor George Pataki) has caved in to this corruption of legal process, embracing a hate crimes bill for the admittedly sound political reason that - in a world governed by simple-minded sound bite - to come out against a hate crime law is to seem guilty of (anti-gay, anti-minority) hate oneself. The retreat of principle before political correctness and fatuous self...
