I have an account and a number of publications, but no funding. I was invited in and got accepted. The report that anyone with an account could sign up was taken from a comment on the original blog posted linked in the article; but apparently it's now fixed or it never worked.
My gut tells me that a one-tailed test would be more appropriate as they're trying to confirm a hypothesis; but I might be wrong. My gut sucks in stats.
They could have included a neutral (non-framed) condition, so 1) no text on package, 2) "atheist" on package, 3) (random text) on package. Or; since they're trying to confirm the hypothesis that this has something to do with religion, 3) (random text) on package and 4) "In God we trust" on package (or something similar).
Statistics seem fine to me (like person below me said).
Either way, I really like the blue shoes and the price looks good to, I might order me a pair and ask for them to put "KILL ALL CHRISTIANS" on the box.
First off, respect to all the airmen. Second; I can't help but be a bit puzzled by the arteries in the legs. Why would radiation damage stop at the knees? (I assume the lower legs were exposed the most).
The organisation I work for just migrated all staff computers to a new red-orange-green support system. This included complete re-installs of computers.... With clean installs XP. When asked why they didn't install W7 and not have to worry about upgrading all computers next year and inconvenience thousands of users again, they simply said "one step at a time".
A doctorate in literature made sense back in the days when there were people who were actually "famous literary reviewers" like F.R. Leavis. The only literature-based doctorate worth getting is a D.Lit (Hon), and even those are doled out like assault rifles at a Deep South US Supermarket.
All my previous study pals who got an MA in literature ended up jobless or somewhere completely outside of their field of study.
What happens if someone crashed a plane into a working reactor? Probably a lot of damage but nothing very dangerous as power plants have been designed to withstand catastrophes like these (but strangely enough, not for floods taking down backup power like in Japan).
Science is a human endeavor, and prone to all the failings that humans possess. Stuff does fall through the cracks because it isn't perfect. It just happens to be the best system we've got that, in general and over the course of years, stumbles along towards progress.
Noted and agreed.
If you have a better alternative, please don't keep it a secret.
Passive-aggressive much?
I'll also note that all the counterexamples you list were, eventually, found out through the scientific process and repudiated by their original publishers
Eventually, yes. How many are still out there unrepudiated....? It took The Lancet years to finally retract Wakefield's criminally fraudulent paper. I know some of my colleagues that have tried to get papers down for several reasons, but most attempts just bogged down in an epistolary war of attrition with editors lasting sometimes years.
If the SWAT team tried to get in, they would have had more than enough probable cause to round up and detain everyone working for Cyberbunker. Since the only guys actually talking about the raid are the CB guys themselves, I call hoax. The Netherlands is boring enough for a real raid to be picked up by any amateur sleuth or local news agency.
I just read the Wikipedia article, and apparently the sticking point was "that the MathWorld content was to remain in print only". If that's the contract Weisstein signed, he could have known he would get into trouble. Don't get me wrong, the academic publishing business is very seriously broken in many ways, but if this is really just a breach of contract, Weisstein should've known better.
Peer review is supposed to weed out the cranks and trolls.
Unfortunately, it sometimes doesn't work. Ask Alan Sokal (troll), Andrew Wakefield (liar and murderer by proxy), Diederik Stapel (liar), Jan Hendrik Schön (liar) or the other trolls, pranksters and liars that got through peer review without so much as a raised eyebrow from the reviewers or the editors.
You mean; did the export/import retain them in Thunderbird? Not sure, I never star items, I bookmark interesting stuff I want to keep around, or I webcite really, really interesting stuff I want to keep. YMMV.
So the actual problem is not the (lack of) repairability, it's how much time/money/effort you're willing to put into it. Then don't complain about repairability, complain about the additional time/effort/money to repair a Mac.
It's like saying natural gas cars are badly designed because there's CNG fuel station near you.
I think the very few people interested in saving these machines would be leaning toward another OS altogether to keep them going - lots of Powermacs have been repurposed as home servers, for example. But it's a spectacular waste to see a well-built, very expensive machine collect dust:-(
After messing around for an hour trying NewsBlur to work, I exported my RSS data from Google Reader and imported it to Thunderbird.
Bye bye Google Reader.
I quickly learned the hard way that all-in-ones are NOT user-serviceable. Power supply go bad? No, you can't slap another one in your tower, you get to lug your big iMac into an Apple Store, walk past all of the hipsters fondling their iDevices, and up to the "genius" bar and leave it there for a week

Prayer helps. Couldn't hurt.
Actually, it can.

If this was 1950, the smoking lobby would probably claim that smoking in-flight will protect you from cosmic radiation.
I hope American Spirit paid you handsomely for spreading this bit of 'information'.
Yes. You're not getting your fast-track review surcharge back, though.

As the French have had nukes since at least the early 60s, it's a bit too late for embargoes.

I'm still on the original release, I think I missed 12 new versions of Rise of the Triad....

The Google takeout .zip file has a starred.json file, incidentally. Not sure if you could make that work with Thunderbird.
The XML file has all the original RSS feeds like "http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot"; so I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
In winter Diesel has added anti-gelling/clouding agents. Not sure how much of the cost is actually caused by that.
