I've been using the medtronic CGM & pump for four years, and going to insulin pump support group meetings for slightly longer. The reps have been pretty honest about the CGMs being neither accurate nor precise, as one would expect from a system that's calibrated via another inaccurate system. Still, most of the group most of the time gets at least enough accuracy to determine the direction glucose is trending or if it's stable. Everyone agrees that the Dexcom CGMS beats Medtronic's CGMS on most metrics except maybe for pump integration. It seems like there's a ton of different ways to put the sensors in that affect accuracy too. Some people have scarred up areas that get bad readings, some have to change the angle of insertion to get better results, and a few of us put in the new sensor a few hours to a day before the old sensor is done because the early hours of sensor use seem less accurate. Almost everyone seems to be using the sensors at least six days and some up to three weeks. For me, ten sensors can last about 3 months.
Quintillion is a different quantity in long scale countries (10^30) vs short-scale countries (10^18), which is partly why the SI units were standardized.

This seems like a good solution for replacing bluetooth, or bridging a room full of machines to one ethernet drop for a low cost office network solution.
Single top quarks can't be charmed without becoming topless, and then they don't like to be photographed until you ply them with enough drinks that they collapse.
Watch "Lie to Me", they do a pretty good job of explaining the limitations of the science (with a bit of glossing over now and then). Also, fMRI's may turn out to be functional lie detectors for intentional fabrications (as opposed to accidental or delusional).
The problem is that wind power is bursty. So either you are moving peak wind power into the grid to a remote market, or you have to move power from remote sources to the settled areas near wind farms when wind power is low.
The proper comparison for professional sports is acting or playing the lottery. For every one person who earns 30 million a year, there are hundreds or thousands who don't make it, or who's careers end before they start due to injury. Also, in NFL football, the average career length is 4 years, and for offensive linemen, their lifespan is 28 years shorter than the national average.
Age related research, and treating aging as if it were a disease seems like a no brainer to me, but from the constant depictions in fiction of immortality-seekers as at best tragic figures, and at worst villians, there is obvious cultural opposition.
As you've talked on the subject frequently, have you gained any special insight into why people fear living longer fuller lives?
IANA Lawyer, but I believe that the judge can declare a mistrial even after the verdict if he has reasonable evidence that the jury failed to heed judicial instructions. So it kind of depends on how vocal they are about the jury nullification part. If it's done stealthily rather than as an act of protest it won't come up.
A ratio of waist circumference to height is a better morbidity predictor than BMI. Now if you want everyone to spring the money for a water tank weigh, a visceral/subcutaneous fat MRI, and VO2 max testing, you'd have the absolute right numbers, but you'd spend a lot of money getting them. Waist to height is one of the best ways to get a cheap estimate of health. Of course it will be inaccurate for people who spend all day bulking their obliques and abs, or for that matter, for gauging the health of sumo wrestlers on traditional sumo diets.
I hear the new terrorist profiling paradigm is that the terrorists are going to recruit hot babes for suicide bombing. Therefore, a higher weight will be placed on selecting hot babes for secondary scanning. That is all.

I think openmedicine.ca started that way...
Does this script give you anything that lite.facebook.com doesn't already?

For instance, what if a group decided to "out" all the gay people in a town? ... But an outlier might then decide to use that information for violence.
And that's why we have a judicial system.
I know it frequently seems like that's the main focus, but our judicial system is actually used for things beyond persecuting homosexuals.

How about monospaced code & proportional comments?

Awesome, now Murdoch can afford to hire journalists and fact checkers.

1073741823 or 1431655765 seconds would have been a more appropriate celebratory milestone considering it's stored in binary form.
Isn't this the whole point of the AS/400?

You mean 1943 called, and they want their LichtsprechgerÃt back.

It's not a free market. If it were, you'd find Verizon competing on AT&T's turf and vice-versa. It's a system of regional monopolies.
