  4. Re:So will he accept? on Millennium Prize Awarded For Perelman's Poincaré Proof · · Score: 1

    From what I have read around here he did not reject Fields Medal. Since they never formally offered it to him. Or did they?
    "We will give it to you if you take it" is just BS.
    One more point to Perelman.

    I have moved several times in last years and every time first weeks I got connection from an open neighbor. Till you get phone, then provider, then find time to set up your own network.

  9. Re:Another possibility... on Amazonian Tribe Has No Word To Express Numbers · · Score: 1

    In Russian, when you count objects, you change word's form (word ending usually).

    Like:
    One - object-singular;
    Two - objects-form-1;
    Three - objects-form-1;
    Four - objects-form-1;
    Five, six, etc. - objects-form-2.

    For more than four you use objects-form-2 and it does not change after.
    If you not counting there is an objects-plural form. :)

    Not sure where that four-many distinction came from.

  11. Re:Medical 'insurance' is an extended warranty on Bill Prohibiting Genetic Discrimination Moves Forward · · Score: 1

    It looks like you have never been in ER in a big city (Chicago, New York).
    Yes, sure it comes quick.
    They make you a shot and ask what hospital you want to go to.
    In the hospital you wait for a nurse to register you. About half an hour.
    After that depending on your condition and hospital's situation you can wait up to several hours in a waiting hall.
    Then they get you in bed. Really nice and technological.
    And you wait an hour for a nurse, an hour for doctor assistant, and finally an hour for a doctor. And in case specialist is not in the hospital right now, you wait for a phone consultation.

    And later when bill arrive, you see that ER was from a different hospital, which is out of your network. :/
