Well, only if you're talking about the scale of the internet right now. If you just want some tubes to look at porn, 12 milion is way too much. Give me 100 bucks and I'll push a penthouse through some PVC pipe into your window. ~$5 for the porn, ~$5 for the pipe, and ~$90 for various fees and profit.
You don't need a credit card, you also won't recieve unsolicited spam until I get a deal with Hormel.
Well, you know, given all the progress in microscopes I wasn't going to list all the different types that had been invented since Antony van Leeuwenhoek first looked at his sperm (which was obtained "fresh and not sinfully," so Mrs. van Leeuwenhoek deserves some credit there too.)
That said, I can't belive I forgot AFM! A microscope based on touch is a revolution. I did think about SEM vs TEM, but only after I had already posted, and I think the wiki article probably mentioned both.
Greg Tannahill SOUNDS like a real name, but telling the electorate that they don't have the right to dictate what videogames you can and can't play DOESN'T sound like a real politician.
Most of all though, this "Australia" you speak of does not sound like a real place.
Well, the first part of my post, upon further inspection, is incorrect. It's poor reporting on the part of "device guru" to not include examples, but the researchers themselves do provide a nice picture of a c.elegans in one of the links. Called that one a bit early.
So... sorry guys at caltech/ cal tech, if you happen to be reading. And guys from "device guru," shame on you (doesn't excuse me though.)
Suspicious that they couldn't include an example of the images this thing is capable of taking. If I'm going to be using a microscope, I'm going to want it to be able to, you know, SCOPE.
Also suspicious: the "motivation". FTFA
Our research is motivated by the fact that microscopes have been around since the 16th century, and yet their basic design has undergone very little change and has proven prohibitively expensive to miniaturize
And considering the 16th century microscopes had but one lens and no artifical light sources, you won't find anything similar to that in a modern day lab. http://www.az-microscope.on.ca/history.htm
You mean while in the minority they voted for stupid acts that the american people were in favor of. Politicians can't cure stupid you know.
It is cowardice for more of them not to have voted against it, but at the time it was legitimate to think that if the democrats had opposed it, the public would side with the republicans thinking the dems were in favor of selling america to Osama. In those days, Bush was bulletproof and most of this country believed he was our only hope of defeating terror.
A good politician in the real world knows when he can lead the public to rational, good decisions and knows when he has to get out of the way of the public making very stupid decisions.
Of course, in retrospect it seems pretty sure that voting against the patriot act wouldn't have been a pointless self-sacrifice, but hey, if the dems could tell the future, the butterfly ballots in florida wouldn't have been an issue.
I don't know if it's the best basis to compare terrible diseases, but with Altzheimers you have decades of life before the symptoms. With Lesch-Nyhan syndrome you don't. It has a few different symptoms like being prone to gout, but the symptom that really sets it up there is the constant urge to self-mutilating behavior that starts at the age of 2 or 3.
Politicians are in charge of running the country, and thus should definitely be held fully accountable for the results of their actions (and lack thereof).
Fine, great, yes. Accountability and resposibility and all that, I agree. It's not treason though.
This is not treason: they don't realize it's going to be bad for the country, or they don't think it will.
Once again, treason is intentional, this is not.
Not for nothing, "epic fail"? Can we keep the internet memes on 4chan?
Oh, so ignorance and stupidity excuse what amounts to treason now?
Treason? Again I'd argue that treason implies intent, or should anyway. So it excuses it in the same way that "I did not mean to kill him" "excuses" murder.
In both cases it doesn't mean it's okay. Manslaughter is still bad. Failing to do your homework and consequently making elections less fair is also bad. Nonetheless, this isn't corruption or treason, and it is an important distinction. For one thing, accusing congress of treason and corruption when it's really just usual stupidity makes you sound like you're either wearing a tinfoil hat.
What will it take for the people of this nation to adopt a zero tolerance policy regarding government shenanigans?
When and where have people ever done that? There are plenty of cases where people wouldn't stand for the government they had, but no cases I can think of where they turned that into the perfect government system, where their officials make perfect decisions, considering all aspects of their actions.
I cannot belive I did that! I know full damn well the correct use of "they're, their, and there." Honestly what may have happened is I changed that sentence at the last minute and didn't read closely.... and just now I initially wrote "sentance" instead of sentence, so, uh, I've lost faith in myself.
Anyway, I think "Please, for the sake of everyone's welfare, especially our children's welfare..." is overstating it a bit, especially given my assurances it was a typo (edit-o?), not a grammar abuse.
The entire library of DS games available in all countries may get hefty, but the cards themselves weigh, what, three paperclips? My cat could carry all the DS games I've ever played and not break a sweat. Although I don't think he's ever sweated.
You're missing a link. How does it prove their corrupt? It is also possible they are just ignorant or haven't thought it through. To show corruption you would have to prove that they knew about the problems but ignored them to instead focus on campaign contributions the makers of the machines gave them.
I would expect them to strike a deal to where they get advertising profits in exchange for not shutting down an already made, developed, and hugely successful application, pissing off the existing fans. If I enjoyed scrabulous, I might be so annoyed that they did this that I wouldn't buy any more hasboro games. I most definitely wouldn't play the official version even if the official version WEREN'T a much crappier version. Which it is.
It's kind of like if your neighbor had a horse that you said was yours, and your neighbor had trained the horse well to where it was of a lot of value and was offering to share it with you. Only hasboro shot that horse and then bought a crappier horse that's never going to be worth anything.
The latter could be used for homeland security and environmental monitoring applications.
I don't know much of anything about physics research. Here in biology, if any aspect of your research has applications to cancer, you talk that connection up, even if it's somewhat tenous. There's a glut of funding available for cancer wheras there's substantially less for equally important medical research on aspects of biology "lay people" don't understand. A lot of research funded with cancer research money really has very little chance of actually taking steps towards curing cancer (which is not to say we shouldn't be funding those projects.)
Is "homeland security" the equivalent of that for physics research? Show a link as to how your project might be used to prevent terrorism and you'll get a blank check from the government? I sincerely hope so, at least some good can come out of our paranoia.
"Rabid werewolves?" Really now, as if being a werewolf wasn't bad enough, you also have rabies? That's just unfair! Not to mention that rabies would only cause the werewolves to be much shorter-lived.
If solar power, which sustains all life on the planet (exotic strains of bacteria aside) isn't powerful enough for our energy needs, then that's saying something... I just don't know what. Cool? Humans are number one!?

I usually fuck for myself, not my country. Just ask my girlfriend.
Sure, but what if I have no friends or it's like 10 AM and no one wants to start drinking?
If I'm ACTUALLY playing one player beer pong, it's harder to lie to myself and say it's not just alchoholism.
Aw, then what's the fun of getting naked at a FRAT party?

Gigapixel microscopy I haven't heard of. I'm assuming it's taking multiple pictures though?

Was I at least closer with "simile" than he was with "analogy?"
Two more questions:
1. Are you an actual copy editor?
2. Are you actually borg?
It's not a bad analogy! It's a bad simile!
Well considering he's a republican congressman, like Larry Craig, it might soon become a "pound me in the hand in the bathroom" prison.
I would expect them to strike a deal to where they get advertising profits in exchange for not shutting down an already made, developed, and hugely successful application, pissing off the existing fans.
