...desk has two parts: a table with adjustable height--low for when you're sitting, high for when you're walking or standing, superhigh for when you need to rest your chin on the wrist pad--and the treadmill, which is operated by buttons on the desk. It's nifty, simple and about $5,000 total, so some people have MacGyvered setups like it on their own. The first thing it does after you turn it on is ask your weight, which is a little confrontational. It then asks your weight every time...
...normal because architects are working more closely with engineers, bringing them in at the very start of the design process to assure the stability of their daredevil schemes and superhigh altitudes. "As the buildings get taller and taller, you really need the input of the structural engineer at the beginning," says Ysrael Seinuk, whose firm, Cantor-Seinuk, is the structural engineer for the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center site. Towers have got not just taller but stranger--asymmetrical and askew. No need to worry though, says Charles Thornton of Thornton-Tomasetti Engineers, which worked on a new tower...
...WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR] This camera gives you three settings: "normal" (standard quality), "fine" and "superfine" (superhigh quality...
Although Washington can be relatively relaxed on the oil issue, the use of Saudi bases is another matter. The U.S. has significant operations at the Prince Sultan Air Base south of Riyadh, where a superhigh-tech Combined Air Operations Center is situated. The Pentagon is beefing up its presence elsewhere in the Arabian peninsula--in Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and especially Qatar, where a second CAOC is hastily being built. But if the Saudis do not want America to attack Saddam from their territory, the region's smaller states are apt to balk as well. "If the Saudis are not doing...
...after the Marconis and the Bell people and the Hertzes and the Maxwells raised their dust, and radiowaves with ultrahigh, superhigh or extremely high frequencies--those ranging in wavelength from 100 centimeters to a millimeter--became known as microwaves. These "microwaves" are very intense concentrations, "short-waves" of electromagnetic radiation focused into an intense beam. They travel through matter, can be reflected by electrical conductors, and can be directed accurately. Thus, microwaves revolutionized communication. They are responsible for television communications, radio (especially FM) broadcasts, CB radio, satellite communication, radar, sonar, and electric garage-door openers...
