Yeah, but osmium tetraoxide melts at a much lower temperature as well, so the reaction will rapidly become a nice sludge, thereby also increasing the rate. Osmium will make you go blind though, but that is almost like winning a darwin award, so be sure to try it at home kids.
This is the problem with the state of science education in the world. I had hoped it was better in the EU than in the US, but obviously this isnt the case. Benzene itself is regulated and has been shown to cause certain forms of cancer. This is mainly due to the problems with enzymatic oxidation to allow for excretion of the benzene. Benzoate is NOT BENZENE! If you were to make everything that has an aromatic ring illegal you couldn't sell meat as the proteins contain a large amount of phenylalanine, which has a benzyl group> Oh my you would also have to be made illegal because you have a lot of phe as well.
Please learn something about chemistry before you start to talk about chemicals.
(Note I am not saying that sodiumbenzoate is a good thing but it isnt benzene.)
Yeah teaching the the ghetto, where you have to worry about your kids shooting you or getting knifed in the hallway. The teacher pay varies tremendously by state, and in many places the average teacher pay is going down not up. Imagine at your job, you get a 3% pay raise only to then take what amount of 4% more of your salary to cover your benefits, that you did not have to pay before. That amounts to a 1% cut in pay. If I were a professional and the management came up to me and said that I was going to be paid 1% less, I would probably laugh in their face.
If your dog chased and killed my cat I wouldnt hesitate to kill the dog. Simple eye for an eye justice. I was deprived of my pet by your pet therefore your pet doesn't deserve life. I am all for allowing people to have pit bulls, but if they ever harm a human or someone elses pet then they need to be destroyed.
What if I had a pet bear and it ate your pit? You would think that the bear needed to be destroyed because it was obviously such a violent animal. The real tragedies are when a person dies at the hands of a pit bull, but the owners are always saying things like: "The dog was always so nice and gentle before"
The way to face the outsourcing "problem" is first to accept that they can work as good as you. Don't try to diss them on that grounds, because managers are not _that_ dumb, and they do know that an engineer is an engineer, in most places.
According to my experience they are not as good as the average. They are as far as a standard metric, such as taking a test, goes but if you talk with them for a while it quickly becomes apparent that they dont know the material as much as they can be tested on the material. It is a fine line, but We have a couple of Indians working in our PhD progeam in chemistry. These are people who do not want to head back to India, so they aren't here to get a training to compete with Indians they are to get training to compete with Americans. (Which I would fully support) They both do not understand the basics of their projects. They know the molecule they are trying to make, but they have no idea why. Also they are unable to design a mans of making that molecule.
What is most insulting is that they believe that they are better than the nonindians and will not take any suggestions as to what might work. They also for some reason "never do anything wrong" even though for the few years before we had them there was one rate for broken equipment, which has easily quadrupled since they have joined the group (and going from 6 to 8 people).
All in all the old adage tends to fit no matter where it is applied: You get what you pay for.
I am sure that there are many Indians that are knowledgeable, yet in my direct experience I have yet to find any. (Noted I have direct experience with a very small subset of Indians, but I would also venture a guess that someone who Lives in India has had a likewise small subset of Indians)
I have to deal with two incompetent Indians on a daily basis, unfortunately I am the sysadmin for our lab, and no one has written bengali for firefox yet. It took me three months of telling them not to use IE and because of thier ineptitude I must remove spyware weekly from the computers here.
It doesnt help matters that they have an elitist attitude and their culture doesnt allow them to be taught or admit that they were wrong. When something happens that is bad there is always a "I deed not doo eeett" when before they joined things weren't breaking but after broken things just turn up broken, in inconspicous places.
So I say send the spam on, if India is anything like the people I am forced to suffer through on a daily basis you should get tons of suckers there waiting to throw money at you.
If your Cell Phone ever "Rings" in a movie theater it deserves to be smashed into your forehead at a rapid speed. Then you will learn eventually to shut it off while you are at the movies. You might be able to ignore it, but I cant.
You are the reason that the US is falling behind in science and also the reason for what I consider the greatest problem in medicine. I hope that if anything comes out of this discussion you will at least learn this small bit of information:
ANTIBIOTICS DONT KILL VIRUSES!
Never will they help you with a cold or any virus that is attacking your body. I think that in order to stop the decline of US science, you should go out to any library and write a report on how antibiotics work and why they couldn't possibly kill a virus. Then you should present your findings to all the members of your family and all their friends. Ask them to do the same and then eventually the US might get over the little problem of : "Of Ive got the flu I need an antibiotic"
Even better would be to use two heat exchangers and an inert recirculating fluid. You could also then chill to lower than 0C that way to hopefully get some more efficiency. A glycol water mix would probablly work well (antifreeze basically) and you could have it go through a dry ice acetonitrile slurry to chill to -40C.
At those temperatures though you would have to worry about ice buildup on the fan blocking off the air.
I still think it would be most efficient to recirculate a slurry of icewater to enable it to keep cool enough to stay liquid and yet not have to worry about ice formation. You could also just keep on adding ice throughout the day and eventually throw the salt water away when the trash can got full.
Gets good points in my book, but it would be infinately cooler with a pump to circulate the water and then you could just add more ice from your freezer to get it cooler again.
I know that the freezer will put out more heat than you will get from the ice but this is more likely to be used to keep a single room cool and not an entire house.
Shouldnt be that much to add a small pump to the mix??
But they say for certain that there is real blood on the shroud.
I say that the science community should get a sample of that real blood and then extract the DNA from it. You could then implant the DNA into an egg and implant that egg into a virgin woman and see if the "END TIMES" (tm) start happening. Afterall we would have just cloned the savior and of a virgin birth nonetheless. Sounds like a good idea to me.
Uhhh Caffiene is caffiene is caffiene you must be thinking about theobromine and thophylline. I wouldnt worry about those though they are rather similar in effect theophylline being the most effective.
As a fellow clarkson alum I know your pain. I vaguely remember through the beer filled haze of my mind a land where the men are men the women are men and the sheep run like hell.
Ah the age old Pascals wager reason for needing a god. You miss one critical point though as you state if I dont believe in god and there is one then I will spend eternity in hell (or someother equivalent) wheras if you worship a god and are wrong then nothing happens because you are dead anyways. The only question I pose is what if you are worshipping the wrong god? or doing it in the wrong way? Suppose that royally pisses the real almighty voice in the sky and he punishes you for your misadventures with your 'god' when you really should have been worshipping cthulu or the voice that comes from my ass when I am really stoned. Then your only hope is that this mystical being that no sane person ever actually talks to is decently forgiving and would recognize that you didnt know about the one true god that lives in my ass. therefore this all powerful being would also probably realize that it is preposterous to have anyone truly believe in it and hopefully wouldnt punish me for just ignoring its exsistence and living my life as I see fit.
Sorry for the rant but I really dislike fundies
One cennot think of the big bang as a bomb, because the universe didnt exist outside of the point of mass. When it went "boom" the universe was created yet as it expanded it was not expanding into empty space because that would be something. It was expanding into nothing and even today everything is expanding away from everything else. Are these objects actually moving or is space being created between these objects?

pretty scary stuff, but only the crazies really practice that, and most of the non-crazies don't even know about it.
I see your point, but up in Vermont it is pronounced the normal way. Route 302 = ROOT 302 but a router = a rawter
