Reminds me of a friend of mine who wrote a nastygram to FOX news for having dirty adds on their main page (so I thought FOX news was a dirty page just in itself). He got really embarrassed when we explained the system of locally controlled add service based on browsing behavior.
Top 25 NIH-Funded Institutes

I see 566 million reasons not to piss of the administration right there. While funding is supposed to be based only on scientific merit, politics are 90% of the game.
People in my shop can tell me what they want hardware wise, but most don't get more than user privileges. For a while I told people they can put anything on their machines as long as they drop off a license, but it just didn't work. Too many people bringing in "free but for commercial use" programs and running them in total disregard of the real licenses. Even worse, one guy brings it in after buying a registration, but 10 people copy it assuming "if he has it, it must be ok". Plus, my time needed for TLC due to user error has gone from 10h/week to 2h/month since all machines are locked down.
Selfish bastard of IT guy!
Actually I think it's more a move to make people buy new Creative products that are native Vista with working drivers. The reason they are getting mad is that the modded drivers allow people that upgraded their XP boxes to Vista to keep using their "outdated" Creative cards instead of buying new ones.
Since the gun operates at 4 K, you currently have an issue with the shark getting rapidly encased in a growing block of ice. So the shark mounted version will have to wait until someone breeds a low temperature shark.
Do you have a quote on that preferential absorption of isotopes? The reason isotope ratios can be used to date materials (like Carbon 14 for recent events) is not that biological processes incorporate C14 preferably, but that they incorporate it at all. So once the biological activity stops, so does the C-14 absorption.
There are three potential reasons why MS looks better in this statistic: - MS patches faster (unlikely since they very rarely patch outside the Tuesday schedule) - MS finds more vulnerabilities internally first, so they don't become public knowledge - MS somehow has found a better way to deal with "security researchers" to keep their findings under wraps until they can fix it Now, lots of time we hear here that "MS has known about this for months and isn't doing anything until forced to". But is Apple any better at it? It would be interesting to hear from people who have dealt with Apple's response to private communications on security issues.
Well, your description of Bush as "traitor in chief" probably did you in. What was an unnecessary flame bait since it didn't really add to your otherwise well stated post.
The larger the company,the stricter the adherence to perk rules. Can't have a lower pay grade get perks not alloted to him, all the other in his rank immediately would cry for the same treatment. A friend of mine is a senior manager in a German top 10 company, and they are allowing him a new car every 3 years. But while he was allowed the $50,000 Renault he couldn't buy the $46,000 Mercedes he wanted, because Mercedes is only allowed for managers on the next "title grade" (which is still on the same pay grade). People are being rewarded with "image" as much as with cash.
It's also very hard to "solder" interconnects on a single layer sheet. Alnd, due to the 2 dimensional nature of the graphene sheet you can't easily take advantage of modern multilayer silicone processing. Making a true device from this will be challenging.
You will reach an equilibrium pressure in your tank at which adsorption and desorption occur at the same speed.
The big question here is kinetics anyway. How fast does the hydrogen adsorb, and how fast can it be released? The whole idea only becomes practical if you can "fill your tank" in a reasonable time and with decent equipment requirements, lets say 5 min at 2000 psi. And the release has to be fast enough to allow an engine to generate 100 kW or so without depleting the hydrogen flow (or needing a m^3 of tank).
IAAC, but IANAD, and afaik you're partially correct. The acute toxicity of orally consumed elemental mercury is lower than for the oxide. But in long term exposure the elemental form is just as bad due to the vapor inhalation. The practice of sprinkling elemental mercury around a house, as cited in that wiki article, is the equivalent of sparring with Mike Tyson on a daily basis. Sure, you don't die right away, but slowly but surely your brain turns to mush. Mercury has some very nasty cumulative long term effects on the CNS.
1. Mercury oxide is as toxic as metallic mercury. The worst are mercury alkyls since they are the most readily absorbed 2. Mercury in filling is amalgamated with other metals and practically stable against leaching or vaporisation. Some studies have suggested you absorb more mercury by having old fillings drilled out than by leaving them in for a lifetime.
To put the whole problem with the CFB mercury in relation, 100 Million light bulbs at 5 mg each contain a total of 500 kg of mercury.
The EPA estimate for mercury emissions from coal fired power plants is 50,000 kg a year.
Simple solution - don't take your kids out if he's being a shit.
So, you leave your kids at home just like your computer. Have you got any idea what a 2 year old can do to your home while you're away? Add the legal aspect of child endangerment, and leaving your kids at home while shopping is usually NOT an option. Unless you still haven't moved out of the basement and can pawn off the little sunshines on your mom upstairs. No, I will punish the behavior
Oh, and I don't suggest punishing your kid in a store nowadays, nine times out of ten some do-gooder will call CPS on you. And punishing later doesn't work until they are past the age of screaming fits anyway.
Couldn't that be written off to environmental influences? I'm sure if you study child mortality over the past 1000 years you find some nice correlation of more babies dying after being born in December than lets say June. What seems to be more correlated to weather and the availability of a healthy diet to the mother then the winter solstice. Unless of course there's a distinct change in numbers on the 21st of every month.
But this whole discussion is very similar to the "can a scientist believe in the bible" discussions (see pharyngula etc.). My stand is, as long as you don't use your spiritual believes as a foundation for your science work, you can be perfectly well do both. It's only when "the bible/Nostradamus/Pat Robertson says so, therefor it's true, whatever the observable evidence" that you get into trouble.
Somehow the owners would have trouble with the ownership of all British ships automatically transferring to the crown, so I'm sure it was the mail contract that gave it it's "Royal" hono(u)rs.
I think the main part here is that the virus can penetrate the blood - brain barrier. The reason we don't die all from encephalitis during every cold is that the brain is very well screened against infectious agents. So it doesn't really matter what virus we're using for this, it's the fact that the virus can selectively penetrate into tumor tissue that's the importance of the discovery.
The main reason Norton lost my company as a customer was their subscription system. Every year we has to buy 10% extra licenses to account for failed installs/subscription renewals/reinstalls to get the automated updates working. Combine that with a bad pricing structure in the small business level of subscription (10 - 20) and I went with Avast Professional. One key good for all installs over the subscription period, and decent volume rebates in my market segment.
So I'm amazed how well ISPs filter virus loaded emails nowadays, Comcast Business hasn't let anything go through in months that triggered alarms (down from at least one a week a year ago).

It's 6 bit per color in a rgb scheme, making it 18 bit or 262,144 total.

thanks, we were obviously looking at vastly different time scales. I found a reference at http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19980037618_1998078057.pdf . Now I have to track down the references therein for the isotope enrichment mechanism.

You're on slashdot, in a programming language discussion, and are looking for sane persons? QED
Source Code will be a new race in the next WoW expansion of course.
While I'm sure your question was sarcastic, YES seems like the obvious answer.

That why I prefer G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate for all my pacification needs. Better living with chemistry!
