    In all seriousness, guess how they find the people in Africa who are immune to HIV?

    They just look for the prostitutes that should be dead and aren't.

    So step 2 in your list would be prostitute yourself out until you get the attention of researchers, and get double profit!

    Their summaries are incomplete and poorly summarised. Most of their articles link to other shitty articles in order to boost advertising revenue.

    Which god? What exactly is a god, what are it's properties?

    Paddy Power is just looking for one with omnipresence.

    Would this be outside the realm of science?

    According to Paddy Power:

    Did you see Rudi Giuliani rip into Ron Paul at the Republican debates?

    He effectively told Ron Paul he was in the wrong party because he dared suggest that Republicans actually stand for non-intervention in foreign policy.

    Just shows how much the neo-cons have infiltrated the Republicans with the religious right cheering them on from the side lines.

    By the way, your vote DOES COUNT - because if you can start grassroots campaigns now, and more votes turn blue or third party, then in 8, 12, 20 years time Texas can be a swing state as the momentum grows and the candidates start to believe its "in play".

    The media is pretending this race is close because the media is a bunch of morons.

  24. Re:Ask your local amateur radio club on User Interface of Major Oscilliscope Brands? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think amateurs are going to fork our $10k+ for a modern oscilloscope. I wouldn't be surprised if there are people in /. land who are scientists (like me) who work in labs (like me) with oscilloscopes (like me).

  25. LeCroy on User Interface of Major Oscilliscope Brands? · · Score: 2, Informative
    The LeCroy (Wavemaster, 1 Gigasamples) I use in my lab has a touchscreen (but have to turn it off when my supervisor is around because he likes to point out things).

    It runs Windows 2000 and takes a cup of coffee to boot up but runs nicely.

    We tried Agilent scopes (we were able to try-before-buy) and found them easier to use, more compact, less bloat that the LeCroy.

    I think its hard to go wrong with modern oscilloscopes.
