In fact computers have been far superior at medical diagnosis for about ten years, and there are several products commercially available. The only reason they are not routinely used is because doctors fear for their jobs.
People have died because the doctor did not run the diagnosis against the computer. Let's face it day to day medicine is nothing like "House" were they get together and debate your case. If you are not responding, doctors usually just carry on with more of the same treatment and hope for the best, while the computer would say "patient not responding to Randomicine? then check the zootocite count for possible inflammation of the hyperbolerium" and in that case one of two things happen: we discover it's the hyperbolerium and treat you for that or we determine it isn't that and continue the normal treatment on the basis of actual evidence instead of just a hunch.
The main reason why it was so successful is that the DBMS is a first class citizen within the language. I have yet to see any other major language that has picked up on this point.
Almost certainly not you. Pretty much the only people who go through university without aid from the institution itself or some form of help from the government are the wealthy mediocre kids of legacy Ivy leaguers. Almost every one else gets a break from someone.

Let's just keep in mind that the first few versions of gcc were no gems. In fact a very bright undergraduate could have written something better. I know because several of them did. Eventually when other people joined a lot of work went into making gcc a good compiler.
This is true, BUT, in this case Dell will be heavily in debt which negates any benefits of going private.
Not really. Most people who finance private takeovers have a much larger time span in mind. While the stock market cares about the next quarter, a typical private investment fund like Onex, Cerberus or even Berkshire-Hathaway (when acting as a lender) has a time span of 5-10 years in mind. As well they usually the have skin in the game, i.e. they just don't issue debt. They actually own part of the company or have warrants for shares.
Perhaps if he had devoted his energy to finding a medium in which he could share his concerns he would be today a second Paul Krugman. Instead he chose to bomb rather innocent victims and became a second Timothy McVeigh,
The substance is toxic, period, regardless of dose.
Adding the word period doesn't make a statement true. Caffeine in low dosages has almost no side effects. In fact it is unique among the behavior altering drugs in that regard. There are even highly respected medical researchers at NIH trying to use it as a vehicle to deliver medicinal drugs to the body since it is one of the mildest substances known to reach deep into the CNS system.
Umm, so what's the Keynesian excuse for Japan's "Lost Decade"
Mostly falling population. Seriously. Japan's GDP per working age person (GDP-WAP) has been growing for the last ten years.
When measured this way, GDP-WAP flattened at the beginning of the 90's and started growing normally in the late 90s exactly when the Keynesian stimulus went in full force.
I've been jumping up and down about this point for about seven years. Interestingly main stream Economists seem to have noticed only last year.
I remember the old days when soccer was a slow and boring sport. Actually it still is, but now thanks to commercials and timeouts and all manner of other interruptions American Football, Baseball and Basketball are even more boring.
Presently the only fast action team sport available on TV is hockey.
Go on believing your leftist lies; there aren't many people who know the truth.
Let's compare reality against what I said and what you said. I claim we lost in Vietnam and you claim we won. Now let's check who is in power in Vietnam, which army is in Hanoi and which army went back home.
It is clear who is lying and mostly to yourself. Go ahead, go on believing that "provided China and the USSR didn't help North Vietnam, and provided the Democratic party didn't exist, then we won" if that makes you feel better. It is funny you cannot see how absurd your provisions are.
Wars are fought in the real world, with real life constraints, such as who are your enemy's allies and how high a price politicians are willing to pay at home for the victory.
An analysis outside of those parameters is pure fantasy.
I've never been a BB fan (never owned one) but I was given an iPhone and a BB10 beta to play with. The BB10 feels way better, and I mean waaaay better. With the iPhone it feels like you spend most of the time clicking on the menu button moving to another app. On the BB10 you swipe left or up and as if by magic all your other app(s) are there, still running.

You are so right, which is why every time they have a chance they appoint women to all positions of power. One can hardly find a man in Obama's cabinet, for example.
Everywhere you look among the powerful women are overrepresented. It's a tragedy, I'm telling ya'
Yeah, we men have it so hard. We should organize a political party and make sure we put one of us in the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives and the SCOTUS as well as a president of a major university. Not until then would we really be free.
In 2008, the European Commission announced that costs for sending roaming texts were also too high and, if the mobile industry didn't voluntarily drop prices, further mobile roaming regulations could follow.
Mobile service providers ignored this warning, so the Commission has now regulated mobile roaming text prices, too. From 1 July 2009, all mobile service providers were forced to drop their text prices to 11p per text sent. Receiving texts while abroad is free.

No they are not all the same. Fox News is the only news agency who has gone to court to defend their right to lie. That alone sets them apart.

Need more proof about how mild is caffeine? It is given to preemie babies as a stimulant for chrissakes.

Object orientation is a tool, unfortunately most programming languages treat it as if was a religion.
Maybe, but let's not forget that Obama is a Harvard (Law) Graduate too.

Very true. Yet you often see Pentagon revisionists trying to argue that they won the Vietnam war since the kill ratio was 1 to 10.
Sorry guys, but as long as the other side is willing to off you at that price and has enough soldiers to sustain the pace, they'll win.

The chance of a male or female to be sexually assaulted during their life is 1 in 6 for both both genders.
[citation needed]
In fact the sources I can find say a woman is about 5x more likely to be sexually assaulted among population 15 and over.
About the same ratio holds for sexual harassment at work.
Oh, please all you want. Men do have problems, but being treated worse than women is not one of them.

As you Brits say, bollocks.

You have the European Union and its competition rules to thank for that.
