Just as with foxes ("they'll keep the rabbit numbers down surely, and not eat all those native species who aren't used to hiding from them") and cane toads ("surely this ground-based creature without a bug-catching tongue will be able to catch and eat insects which live at the top of the stalks"), British Scientists (or at least the politicians/administrators who made such decisions, with or withour scientists) have a Lot to answer for in Australia.
Altough the introduction of Camels wasn't Such a bad idea, we're now exporting them to the Middle East.
The feral horses, water buffalo, cats (which grow to larger sizes, eat Anything, are Damn good at hiding, and have spread to literally every place possible in the country), foxes, rabbits, cane toads, lantana (a horribly fast-growing spiky weed), privet (a hedge-bush which went Wild), have all had horrible impacts on Australia.
The CSIRO does So Many excellent things (did you know you can sign up on one of their websites to be able to do free phone polling, they'll generate a website which will track the number of phone calls or texts to specific numbers they setup, all free), and yet they never got proper funding, and could probably do yet More really sweet stuff if we gave them a chance.
"A dead fish's brain does NOT have blood oxygenation levels that vary in that way." have not RTFM, but surely a decomposing body Will have varying levels of various chemicals in it? So the question is not 'are we getting data from this specimen?', but 'what is causing the specimen's readings to change?'
a faint possibility could also be that she had an old and/or malfunctioning microwave, which was spitting out radiation when it shouldn't. Physical damage (from dropping, or insect infestations) can lead to microwaves leaking radiation. I'd say an average electrician has some kind of meter that can test for that.
Last I heard the destruction of the Rainforests was decried by medical researchers because of the disappearance of so many species of plants and animals which might contain live saving remedies. We know that some animals don't get certain cancers, we know that ingesting plants (raw, cooked, smoked, made into a tea, etc) can help fix all kinds of problems. Medicine didn't start out with remedies in pill form, it started with 'take two pinches of this in hot water and come back in the morning' and gradually worked up from there through trial and error, which became known as the scientific method.
Many 'anecdotal' tales of remedies don't lead to a treatment that can be verified by a double-blind study, not because it doesn't work, but perhaps because it doesn't work for most people, or even most people with a specific condition. It is Much more complicated, but I think we need to look better at remedies for treatments that work for people with a combination of ailments, rather than trying to simplify it down to 'medicine x cures ailment y'. However, we will probably need significantly more complex modelling tools available to us to predict these kinds of combination treatments than we currently have available, and I would expect (at least hope) that someone, somewhere, is working on doing this and is just waiting for technology to give them powerful enough tools.
big lols, a quick glance at the photo (the main part of which is supposed to be 64 feet long), looks Darn like a boat, with wake effects to the back and rear quarters. slow news day/week?
The Australian Air Force isn't going drone-only anytime soon. The Army has a number of UAVs in scout and recon roles, but we're still focused on piloted craft for ATA and ATG roles. Not even the USAF is going all-drone.
It's a reference to a recurring Daily Show joke, where any organisation they think is stupid/silly when they talk about them, they say the long name, and then say NAMBLA (or something similiar) as the acronym. They once ran a retrospective showing how many times they'd used it.
Mod Parent up! Debeers started the whole "you must have a Massive diamond ring if you want to marry her" thing in the 40s-50s with a Huge advertising campaign, while artificially constricting the supply. If you want Big industrial diamonds for cutting, you can have them made, you don't have to get them from Africa. Also, if you want a huge rock to impress your friends, you can get one made, for a fraction of the price.

I saw a doco on this guy, last I heard he was about to be buried by the NZ Gov at the request (insistence?) of the US Gov. Poor bastard, you'd think some defence contractor would recruit him and have him build them low-cost rockets to sell to Pakistan or something.
Except anyone with knowledge of your company's password policy will know about the punctuation mark requirement. Better to have multiple password complexities, of which not all are required, allowing staff to choose which ones they can utilise easier. The more staff you have, the more likely that different complexities will be used. That way you preserve the mystery.
I've lost track of the number of times I've had an excellent idea, solution or thought pop into my head just as I was falling asleep, getting into/out of the shower, or driving. I try to keep a notebook/pencil or some kind of note-taking device to record them, because I know they'll be hard to recall at some other time. I normally have a notebook permanently stored next to my bed, because when the ideas come I'm usually far too tired to get out of bed and fetch things.
I'm guessing the inside of a helmet has a liner, this could be made in the shape/style of a turban. However I think the wrapping of the turban in the morning is part of the whole ritual and may pose an issue. It may require a new regulation be created, allowing for a much closer turban that wouldn't prevent the wearing of a helmet. IANASC (I am not a Sikh Cleric).
I think they should work on a helmet that has the Turban intergrated into it, and the relevant Sikh council should give a special dispensation for members of the military or police to wear these special turban/helmets in times of combat if they so choose.
I suspect you're focusing on the casual dating demographic, as someone in a monogamous committed relationship, I'd like to have a male contraceptive with a 99% success rate (condoms only promise 97%). We don't want to have kids right now, and condoms are an annoyance. How many other young professional couples would like to have this as an option?
I disagree.
Having coders who have an afinity with and an understanding of the actual roles and duties of the people they're coding for can be very useful. And as to being oath-taking Marines, they are arguably quite motivated to make sure that no details are leaked and that systems are secure, as opposed to the vulnerable contractor systems that leaked that JSF data recently.

There was also Welltris, which had you dropping pieces down a square well, required quite a bit of brain power to wrap your noggin around it.

he defined the conditions for 'success'. Doing well in school, good relationships with teachers, good number of friends, happy with their life.
at least on a somewhat slow 'net connection in Australia. First one still works though.

But wait, won't the use of a Klikiss Torch lead to the Hydrogues wiping out all remnants of the species that launched it???

I reject your reality and substitute my own
because if we knew what they were putting in it, we'd start protesting like it's Tehran?
