Chasing the rain seasons... wonder if they make use of the same seasonal trade wind that kept the ancient maritime trade going around the Indian Ocean?
It's true that discrete math is more applicable to programming, but analysis/calculus/geometry is a general math with wide applicability, and lower level versions of both types of maths are basic building blocks of most decent science/engineering programs.
You'd be short-changing yourself of college engineering education if you skip either. Take both unless you are pegging yourself to be a code monkey.
Either way, the most important thing is to stay in college as long as you can - make them kick you out.
Jebus. I wrote that vaccination scheme where inadequate proportion of the populace is vaccinated allow infection to linger on among the unvaccinated populace, allowing time for the virus to mutate into strains that avoid being attacked by the antibodies primed up by the vaccination. So inadequate vaccinations, like incomplete antibiotics treatment, can be worse than no vaccination.
Ok, the last sentence needs more qualification.
I don't quite understand your second paragraph. If a vaccine targets a particular antigen, why would strains with more of the targeted antigen thrive?
Either way, the other dude definitely needs to take hormone pills.
Vaccination is effective, in public health sense, only when enough people are vaccinated to eradicate the infection - it's a stat game. Vaccination scheme where not enough people gets vaccinated may be worse than no vaccination at all, encouraging the growth of resistant varieties rather than eradicating infection.
Kinda opposite of antibiotic over-prescription problem.
I know a dude who has been driving Peugeots for decades. A French dude, admittedly. But the guy's been getting 200k+ miles on each one. He always get them serviced by this mechanic that knows Peugeots pretty well. Apparently, they require different type of servicing.
I wouldn't mind getting one of them Peugeot 3 something that I saw in WRC.
Whatever. French and Italian makes won't be coming in any time soon. I'll probably stick to Japanese, although I will also consider the US and Korean ones. Anything but German, those bottomless money pit.
Depending on the area of research, it's difficult to tell which bit is off - which source, which equipment and their calibration, ambient parameters, etc. Acoustics is a well-known example.
This is one among many reasons to record everything in your notebook and to not discard anything.
It's true, though. Scientific research is one frustrating line of work, but the reward, when you hit on it, even minor ones, make it all worthwhile for those with talent and aptitude.
If I had such a talent, I wouldn't be spending my life writing crummy software code to throw off QA freaks.
... I have found the older folks just eat it up. They treat it [Yahoo home page] as "the paper" and will often spend quite a few minutes there reading headlines, checking their Yahoo Mail, looking at stock quotes or checking their horoscope, before every venturing onto the "real" web.
And then they come out to./, telling us to get off their lawns, rambling on about their onion belt and whatnot.
My man, if the climate changes as drastically as some believe, whole lot of things we care about will be affected and coffee isn't even that important, in the scale of things.
"Incredibly short-sighted?" Come on. Drop the hyperbole. I'm not even sure we are actually disagreeing here.
And that makes this warning little more than another media grab exploiting climate change issue.
Let's put this into context. Species are evolving as the environment, including the climate, changes, and at any given time a large number of wild species are at the threat of extinction. Given that evolution is random, and that we already have several domesticated cultivars adopted to different locales, this story simply throws coffee and climate change together for attention grab.
Let's have a sense of proportion is what I am getting at. And no, I am not suggesting that you nor the researcher is blowing it out of proportion.

Well, not entirely, but substantially, unfortunately.
Coulda been called UFO.
Now here is a science story makes me say "wow".

Wait a sec. Does any other browser provide NoScript functionality?
Dang fool! You should have ordered both!
But hold the pineapple. That's a disgrace.
I only remember this as the other publication by the publisher of the once-great Penthouse. ;-)
Porn or science, resistance is futile to the Internet. ;-)

Vaccination suppresses particular types of pathogen and that would allow space for pathogens unaffected by the vaccination.
Go ahead and tell me how this is a "bullshit".
Oh, take some hormone suppression pills while you're at it. ;-)

Bleh. Throwing together "carbon nanotube" with "at least 10 years" - the nerve of these people.

Ireland and Iran both share "aria", meaning "noble" in Indo-european language group, as the root of their name.
Guess they share more than the name root.
I just moved to an area where the choice is between AT&T and cable (Cox).
Once again, AT&T proved itself to be at an uncharted level of evil leaving all others, including cable monopolies, far behind.
Do yourself a favor and untether yourself from the evil grid - you'd save a bundle just for the reduced spending on blood pressure pills.

I've got this nailed. But do you have to know in advance the mystery input combo? I could never figure that out before I throw it over to QA.
Smoke and coffee.
So, what you are saying is that the earth is reversing the polarity of its flux capacitor?
Mgmt blames the devs, and devs blame the mgmt, and both get modded "insightful".
It's like watching hot naked babes wrestling in the mud, except that it's the exact opposite.
Cuz eating yo own dog food is a bitch.
Hey, Migugel,
I don't like Mono, and the guys here (maybe including me at times?) dump on you heap of abuse, justified or not.
But I do think it's pretty cool you still pop in here and post comments and replies on your projects.
And then they come out to ./, telling us to get off their lawns, rambling on about their onion belt and whatnot.
Crazy old people.
