	The SF Site Featured Review: Finity
		By changing the manner in which cabs and limousines converse, Barnes is able to show the differences between technological advance in the Reichs and in the free countries.
		Unfortunately, Barnes does not present the story in a way which makes it particularly exciting and he sits on his cards a little too long, causing the reader to lose interest before the great revelations come.
		Barnes is too intent to throw everything into his mixture without worrying whether the flavours will compliment each other.

	Amazon.com: Kaleidoscope Century: Books: John Barnes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A stunning evocation of humanity's violent downward slide, Barnes's fourth SF novel is set on Mars during the early part of the 22nd century, in a universe chimerically similar to that of his first, Orbital Resonance.
		The environment Barnes creates is appalling: Josh and his cohort-in-crime, Sadi, appear to delight in their repeated antisocial actions and attitudes.
		Josh spouts such homilies as "if you don't want a brain to think the wrong thoughts, the surest way is to put a hole in it." Whether or not one is put off by the pervasive cynical mentality, as a picture of the degradation of society in the 22nd century, the novel is gripping.

	Brain-computer interface Summary
		For purposes of this term, the word 'brain' is understood to imply the physical brain of an organic life form and 'computer' is understood to imply a mechanical/technological processing/computational device.
		These semantic notations are crucial in the contemplation of a direct brain-computer interface, as there is great debate in the philosophy of mind regarding the reduction of consciousness and mind to the physical qualities of the brain.
		In 2004 scientists of the Fraunhofer Society utilized neural networks to shift the learning phase from the user to the computer and thus recorded noticeable results within 30 minutes of training.

		In addition, there's the uncertainty inherent in all sensor measurements, which adds to the uncertainty in the map that the robot builds, says Andrew Davison, a computer scientist at Imperial College London, who was one of the first researchers to develop a real-time SLAM system for robots.
		But as helpmates, huge leaps in computer power and advances in control software, sensors and actuators are allowing machines to shed their clunky image and gain impressively human-like abilities.
		Computer scientist Tom Mitchell, director of the Center for Automated Learning and Discovery at Carnegie Mellon University, says machine learning is useful for the kinds of tasks that humans do easily -- speech and image recognition, for example -- but that they have trouble explaining explicitly in software rules.

		A self-proclaimed atheist who constructs imaginary futures with the aid of computer spreadsheets believes that science fiction, having lost its onetime central metaphor of space travel to the bean counters at NASA, is now in danger of losing its franchise as an ''escape hatch'' for teen-agers.
		While some might applaud this as a sign of progress, Barnes argues that a genre can do a lot worse than function as a dream machine for adolescents; he likens their efforts to figure out the adult world to the work that readers must do to comprehend any fiction set in a possible future.
		A long essay/review by John R. Searle (a distinguished philosopher and computer scientist) considers Ray Kurzweil's The Age of Spiritual Machines (Viking).

		Yet all scientists assume that, in characterizing the mathematics of gravity, they are telling us something objective about how the world really is. Somehow the thoughts we so easily assume to be in our heads also belong to the world.
		Where the scientist pursues a method of research, systematically demonstrating an idea, the artist strives to create an image that is a revelation of nature.
		It may be difficult for many scientists to see the relevance of such training to their own work.

		The news from Mauna Loa and other monitoring stations has increasingly disturbed scientists, because carbon dioxide traps heat, as do other "greenhouse gases" generated by man, and global temperatures have, indeed, been rising - by almost 1 degree Fahrenheit over a recent 18-year period, a relatively rapid increase, NASA experts reported in April.
		By the time scientists gathered for a symposium at New York's Columbia University last month, just weeks after Mauna Loa Observatory recorded CO-2 topping 379, skeptics seemed to have faded - or at least switched to a better-safe-than-sorry view.
		But if computer power is meeting the challenge, brainpower - numbers of trained specialists, hands on keyboards to input, minds to analyze - is coming up short, scientists told the Associated Press in a series of interviews.

	An Account of the Development of the Solar neutrino Problem
		John Calvin and Davis completed the installation in July, 1960, and completed the first experiments in October.
		Visits to these mines convinced the Brookhaven scientists that the rock at Homestake at the 4850 ft level would permit the opening up of a cavity large enough to hold the 100,000 gal tank, whereas the rock at the Anaconda would allow only a 14 ft diameter hole at their 4200 ft level.
		The neutrino fluxes calculated by all the active groups using different stellar evolution computer codes were shown by Bahcall and Ulrich to give consistent answers when proper account was taken of the different choices of parameters.

		Quantum computers simultaneously run multiple calculations due to the superpositioning ability of individual atoms, light photons, and other quantum objects, meaning that a quantum switch can be both on and off at the same time.
		Their quantum computer uses mirrors, laser beams, and light detectors to encode data in photons' quantum states, effectively placing a photon simultaneously in the states of being fed and not being fed into an optical processor that then interprets its quantum state based on an algorithm.
