More often than not, homeless people, and petty crooks just steal AYTHING out of cars hoping to get pennies on the dollar for whatever they stole. A nice looking, shiny case was probably thought to have some nice stuff in it, other than tapes. I bet the tapes are in some sewer drain or dumpster by now, and the case is being pawned for 5 dollars.
Best evidence so far - first paper. Looked at 1200 Seventh Day Adventists who reached age 100 and their diet. only 4 were vegetarians.

Look at our teeth, digestive tract and biochemistry - all designed to be a meat eating omnivore. Since we don't synthesize vit B12 and little of B6, we need them from animal sources (not found in plants).
As far as the health thing goes, vegetarians tend to have MORE health problems than non vegetarians - anemia, zinc toxicity, nervous system damage, etc.
If you make a decision, then you should be aware of the salient points
A big goal is to get superconductors to work at 77K, because then they can be cooled by cheap liquid nitrogen. Lower than that, you have to use liquid helium(I think) which is quite expensive.
I also see a possible problem here. Scientologists routine have police work a second job, by patroling scientology compounds. Pay quite well too. Now of course if any protests/actions occur the police may feel an extra obligation to possibly protect their second paycheck.
I'm fairly sure that a lot of damaging info to the current administration would be found on those drives.
Privacy for ordinary citizens is a right, but our officials that WE ELECT, their job is our business and we should have the right to know what they do. If they've done nothing wrong, then why hide anything. This does not apply to citizens on ordinary, routine matters e.g. we should not have to voluntarily have our cars searched cause we're innocent.
We elect our officials - they work for us, and therefore need to have accountability.
I totally agree with the parent! - Besides who would make newer, faster computers, or better spectrophotometers that help us find better compunds to cure the cancer. We need the botanists studying the life cycle of something totally irrelevant, like mold that a sub species of a gypsy moth eats. The cancer researchers can then often find something of use.
I'm not saying it well, but basic research is essential, not immediately, but for everything else. The knowledge built then has a synergistic effect.
Yes, every once and a while a certain subject needs a little attention, to help to really develop knowledge in a certain field. Like the HIV virus - the human immune system wasn't really understood at all. Now much of the research that went into HIV, has produced fruitful offspring, such as monoclonal antibodies which.....TAA-DAA... help fight cancer.
Many Greepeace activists are now in FAVOR of nuclear power - because it's less polluting than coal or oil. Doesn't screw up the environment like giant hydro-electric dams either.
As far as what to do with the nuke waste - we do have a state called Nevada It's almost the size of California, but with only 2.6 million residents, with 85% of them living in Reno or Vegas. It's dry, so little worry about run off. I've driven thru it many times - there really isn't much out there at all, so even a 100 square miles is easily spared. Heck - Nevada could even make money off it, by charging for it. Am I "dumping" on Nevada? No...Every state has some resource that other states don't. Some have prairies/plains that are good for crops, some have coasts good for fishing. Nevada has wide open desolate space, and that's a resource for holding/containing things.
Generally, surgeons now leave bullets in, unless they will cause a problem by moving. Most people erroneously think that bullets have to come out, but really it's the going in part that does the damage. Leaving them where they are are tolerated quite well. I have had a bullet in my foot (stuck on my calcaneus) for more than 25 years. Bullets in joints need to be removed, since the joint fluid will dissolve the lead causing lead poisoning. During my surgical residency, I took care of one patient at a V.A. hospital. We were asked to see him, as he had just coughed up a piece of shrapnel from WWI - 50 years ago!!!. he was 80 or so, and very healthy.
Steve Albini was, and still is fairly tech savy. I think he was an electrical engineer before his music career took off. Saw them at CBGBs about 20 years ago. Quite good, acerbic, and insightful.
At some point, the resolution wars will end, due to the lack of need to make picture/sound information density greater than the ability of humans to perceive it.
Anyone know roughly what DPI is equivalent to what we experience thru our eyes. I had thought that digital cameras are encrouching upon that resolution.
I do concur that downloadable content is/will be the next tech wave for entertainment.
Normally I'm somewhat against feature creep, but I think that the new features added are all very, very good. Most are security concerns, and some just make the dang thing easier, more eficient, and smoother to use (star button to add fav bookmark). The added features seem to not be of the bells and whistles type.
The attention to reducing memory footprint, mem leaks, and speed are all very well received, and thoughtful. It seems to be a big push of this release to concentrate on that.
This seems like a very nice release and improvement. - I particulary like the thunderbird anti-phishing tie in.
Many cat owners are infected with a parasite called toxoplasmosis. When toxo gets into mice brains, it can affect their thinking, making them less afraid of cats.
Several studies are indicating a strong link to schizophrenia in humans with toxo. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol9no11/03-0143.htm
I'm an orthopaedic surgeon, and would really, really really, like to see where that's been shown to be true. IF that's the case, then that would be worth billions of dollars per year. I'm surprised one of the drug, or implant companies hasn't come up with that yet.
I can see it now - break your femur, and just strap 4 cats to your leg with some stinky minnows and you're walking in a week.
One of my ex girlfriends was all into making my "chart" to see what was rising in what sign, and all sorts of other BS. So I lied - told her I was born on Feb 30 (there is no Feb 30 - ever). Got a "reading" of all sorts of things that she thought I was like - "See it fits you" Then told there is no Feb 30, was born on March 2 (another lie) - got a similar reading (cause my stars were still closely aligned).
Finally told her my real birthday was in August. She got mad and didn't want to do any more horroscope crap around me again, AND we still went out for over a year, before broke up w/ her. She wanted to plop out some kids, and I wanted grad school - so I said later.
Mesg is - just put up with it. It's a harmless thing they do, as long as they aren't making serious life decisions because of it. If they won't buy a house, cause the stars are wrong, or want to buy 10,000 shares of a stock 'cause of the stars, then dump them.
A few friends, my brother and I had a Crisco fight one summer.
Yeah- that's right - mother-f**king Crisco - everyone had like 2 pound cans of the stuff, and wore old clothes.
Pretty damn fun throwing a big greaseball and hitting someone upside the head with it, 'cause it sticks. Then the walk home from the local baseball field with big things of grease stuck to us.
Being a bored kid can be really fricken cool sometimes.
I just don't understand why there is anything at all. Why does there have to be a universe? If it was created, then what was there before? Nothing? Maybe without a physical reality, the concept of time doesn't apply, but it still bugs me.
Oh boy I can see it now, the universe is 17.79 billion years and should go thru puberty soon. Bad mood swings, voice changes, hair growing on funny places like Saturns rings, the M31 and M5 galaxies are both getting bigger,.....and those funny sensations.
One with a fairly known and characterized course, like pancreatic cancer. Doesn't hurt much at all, and then one dies usually within 6 months after diagnoses. Five year survival is less than 5%.
Hell, if I had something like that, I'd probably volunteer.
This might be a stupid question, but I wonder how long will the gamma ray blast last, and 2) is it possible for a sufficiently large mass -e.g. Jupiter or the Sun to be interposed between we humans and said blast, and block most of the gamma rays.

Yeah, the can dissect out some tiny vessels, but when you have a tumor, that's what you get.
Liver surgeons, and orthopods ( bone docs like me) would really like this.

maybe the terrorist hates cats too and is using the "cancer" as a decoy. Now he can kill 2 birds with one stone. Dirty cat bomb.

people forget that things can be non-linearly scaled.
It will act like one of those ringworld mono wire swords, and cut thru flesh like butter.

It'll balance out, since the cubster in front of you, will act like a nice large stay-puff pillow/airbag, and will absorb the impact
