Keeping science and technology out of political discussions of healthcare seems to be a specialty of certain US-american political circles. Don't mistake that for a global fact.
That is rather easily solved not by the mythical "Death Panels", but rather by allowing people the choice of dying on their own terms in dignity. But the Christian fundamentalist fuckwits in their endless compassion have decided that going out without suffering is a sin, as their fucktard God seems to be hellbent on maximizing pain in his rotten creation, so we can't have that, no Sir.
Yeah, it is not like there is massive government founded medical research all over Europe. It is not like there are shitloads of European based pharma companies. Does Bayer or Merck ring a bell? Sounds suspiciously German, doesn't it? Sure shit has been sold around a lot lately, but I didn't see them suddenly pack up stuff and flee the horrible socialist hellhole of Europe...
Hm. Great material there. First link to Yahoo answers, the forefront of medical research these days, followed by a shitload of blogwhoring. Nice sources you got there. How about you take a step back and look at the very real non-financial but moral bankruptcy of your "I got mine, fuck y'all"-approach to health care?
Yes, I am aware of that problem. I was a bit snarky up there, I do wonder, though, why no one can get his shit together to invest in infrastructure anymore.
Yeah, cutting solar subsidies, because it is becoming self-sustaining by now and cutting nuclear because it was never sustainable without unloading a shitload of externalities on everyone. We did not like that, and, unlike some other western nations, we have a functioning democracy.
That's kinda the Linux movement in a nutshell - look! our crippleware works after installing libbullcrap.3.57.so! Well, kinda, can't stream, but hey, who needs that. And you wonder why Linux is not on the desktop "yet"?
The relevant metrics here are based in the fact that my hometown with over a million inhabitants will be off fossil fuels by 2025. The conversion is going as planned and I have yet to see the blackouts the conservatard FUD-mongers are predicting. Salutations from the 3rd millenium, friend!;)
Since the teatards are actually using the Agenda 21 as a source of paranoia with regard to the dreaded UN takeover, I think black helicopters are not that far out of the picture. I do concede, however, that I am not up to speed with regard to any idiocy out there, so my metaphor might be out of place indeed.
Yeah, stupid. It just averages out to a predictable level over the whole grid, effects minimal pollution and, well, just works. Greetings from Europe - with apologies to all decent people in the US, we kinda find it amusing to see you sliding back into your personal version of the dark ages.
As far as I know, the pinhole technique never made a breakthrough. Epic part of one's biography, though - especially coding image reconstruction on a PDP-11. That's hacking for real men, isn't it?
Yeah, the detector is non-directional. That's why you use a collimator and scan the object by moving the collimator and the camera. Leads to long exposure times and an unwieldy mechanical setup - I'd be interested if they solved it differently, too. They did leave out the interesting parts in TFA, though.
Scintigraphy is not only used for mere detection, but is in routine clinical use for imaging. You can go the pinhole route, but usually go with a movable collimator and movable detector, scanning the image. Now, if those guys have something that can snap a picture just like an optical camera, that would be interesting - but TFA is unfortunately silent on the details.
Usually, you just put a scintillating crystal, e.g. thallium-doped sodium iodide, in front of your detector. Gamma photon hits crystal, crystal emits photon in the visual range, photomultiplier detects visual photon. TFA is somewhat silent on how this differs from your run of the mill gamma camera which has been known for half a century by now.
Well, if you guys would look to the rich mythical offerings of those who where there before you, you'd find a metric fuckton of mythological inspiration. *pours a libation to Coyote*
I am a German who spent part of his PhD work in California. We got a mixed bunch in the lab there, guys from all over the US, some French, some Koreans, and a Londoner - which was the only guy whom I did not understand without problems.
To be honest, as European, I wouldn't immediately associate a Southern Drawl with dumb, hick, inbred and crazy. It still can carry that antebellum aristocratic vibe, too. If refined enough, that is...
The Swedish lilt is a pretty recent phenomenon in the northern Germanic language family. Icelandic is what you are looking for, for it is pretty much what remains of the language of the Edda. They still sound badass today. Well, it is on my target list, to be tackled as soon as I got the French down to a decent level...
You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. This analysis is pretty much spot on. One might debate the French Canadian accent for Rivendell, though - I do not fathom those to be so far distant from the Galadhrim (on whose Parisian accent I do agree), so I would pick a more closely related French dialect for those, let's say something along the lines of Franc-Comtois?

Maybe it is the sort of guests he prefers? Who am I to judge?

How close are we to an open source alternative that actually works for most flash tasks?
About ten years behind before you'll get a buggy working copy of the state of the art of last decade, as usual in the FOSS movement.
Given the incredible breadth of Linux adoption on the desktop, I am sure that Adobe are quivering in their boots by now.

Have a look at Windfinder. Quite useful for planning your trips.

I have news for you. The black helicopters... they only exist in your mind.

Won't bet the farm against that.
