These things are usually statistical anomalies - of course if you gather a group of people w/ cancer it looks like they have a higher risk/rate - it's because of a SELECTION BIAS!. You need to look at ALL of the employees who worked with these chemicals.
2 If it is workplace related exposure, then the people exposed to it should generally come down with the SAME TYPE of cancers/diseases(e.g. radium watch makers all came down with bone tumors, aniline dye workers all came down with bladder cancer) . If someone has esophagous cancer (prob from smoking+drinking) and somebody else has a bone tumor and someone else has brain cancer then these things DON'T ADD UP.
We need to see a GOOD epidemiological investigation before IBM is accused of increasing the cancer risk in it's manufacturing divisions. These things are almost always related to Selection bias
I thought I remembered that the early Crays used water cooling. So why not use a water cooler and dump the heat outside the building instead of inside where you have to AC the room
I guess the tubing logistics would be a pain in the * as well as the PSUs generating heat.
I just imagine since AC costs so much, that people haven't thought of any newer or different ideas to save cost in this aspect.
Any innovative solutions out there? This sounds like it could be good idea for a/. story.
Get smart agents 99 (or 86?), a late 60's cold war era show - Americas comical answer to James Bond. Don Adams was always attempting to bluff his way out of situations, by the above means. Clicl here

That's what a co-surgical resident said after picking up and eating a Sweet-Tart that he just dropped off the Trauma room floor, in Newark NJ. I watched him for about 30 seconds, expecting him to start having instantaneous violent diarrhea and vomiting......But nothing happened.
I guess he was right. I mean hey, look at dogs - they eat their own poop half the time and the worst thing that happens is that they barf up some grass that they just chewed.
People are much more squeemish than they need to be.
No I am not joking - some people don't even take a shower/bath 1x week I am not joking. There was this one lady from another country, and everytime she came into my lab, my eyes would BURN from the stink It would be like this for abt 2-3 weeks before she would wash. BUT! she didn't always wash her clothes and some of the stink residue would still linger even afeter she had "bathed". Secret notes, direct talk and other hints did nothing. My solution was to always stand inthe romm so that she would be right next to the fume hood and most of her odor would be sucked up.
You just need enough microwave current to disable the RFID, not torch it into an inferno. You should be able to titrate the amount of microwave time to successfully destro the RFID without undully affecting your posessions. Obviously you don't want to nuke your new ultra quiet Seagate hard drive....
Every morning I watch the weather - a left over habit from when I lived on the east coast. The average daily temp in Palm Springs Ca, must be abt 105 F or so
This will fade or never become widely used. Why? - for the same reason that computerized drum machines often boring. Music sounds good to us because of all of the little inconsistencies, irregularities, etc.
I had one drummer in a band of mine who was amazingly technically precise - like a metronome. And as a result we wound up canning him because HE SOUNDED BORING. The next guy sounded great, even though he sped up, slowed down, because it added life to the song.
For the same reason that MMORPG are popular rather than just playing the computer. People do weird unexpected stuff, that a computer would never do, and that makes it exciting and fun.
There is no listing for virii, but Dorlands Medical dictionary (probably one of the most widely used ones), lists viruses as the plural of virus. There is no medical word virii. I have never heard any of my medical co-workers use virii - we all use viruses.
And thats pretty lousy. A typical eheim 1046 pump - pretty common in water coolers is rated at 300 Liters/hour. Granted it won't put out that much under load, but probably the other pump wont either...
We had a funnel hooked up to a gas mask in college (JohnS Hopkins). If you didn't drink fast enough, the mask would start to fill up and you'd be up to your eyes in beer.
I wonder if someone still has it. I don't think I lost too many brain cells.
If you're getting unusual AND nice results, we should know WHY! What kernal, drivers (Nvidia?) Linux version, Graphics card, processor, etc. Maybe we are all missing something obvious. tell us like in a scientific paper, the exact details, so we can VERIFY your results, and maybe YOU could help out the whole community.
I got tired of Win 98 crashing several times a day - even after vanilla installs. I started looking for another solution back in 1999. Macs were too expensive for a student budget. BeOS was just about to be bought, when I found out about a FREE OS that supposedly didn't crash. I wound up using Linux for most stuff and kept 98 around to play GAMES!.. Now that games are available on Linux, I boot into Win98 about 1x a month for some odd/nostalgic reason.
I'm happy I made the jump, but for most people they're just too scared to try another OS. Windows barely works for them - to try another "hacker" OS is too adventurous/hard. I have a bunch of people on Mozilla now....and they see it's good. Eventually they'll switch after one propblem too many in Windows.
Taco Bell was faced with a similar problem many years ago. Their product was good, but in consumer tests the popularity suffered. Market surveys asked people what would make this better in their eyes. People responded that the tacos should cost more than 50 cents. Something that cost $2.79 would be a better product.
Taco Bell raised their prices and their popularity went up. People thought that they were getting a "better" product.
Somebody wrote, that it was a goatsexc link. I merely stated that it WASN'T a goatsecx link, and that the person who said it was a link to that site was wrong. I was not implying that the webpage on contrials was wrong or wacko. Sorry about that.
Oh that's great, the scientists are putting 3000! AMD chips in the desert!. As if it wasn't already hot enough there already! They could move it to Chicago in the winter and raise the downtown temp to a balmy 80 F. Chicago, the windy city, has the proper amount of wind flow for over-clocking these babies.
Fantasy time! If I worked in Los Alamos I would; 1 definately be in the lead in SET@home, and 2 My Quake FPS would be pretty good I suspect... later.

Not terrribly clever, but I guess it helps you to keep from pulling a Martha (Stewart)..
in the last month and a half the senior VP has sold over $750,000 in stock. Others have also sold fairly substantial amounts

I tend to keep a lot of my recorded CDs on the floor of my car, rolling around loos.
Is that not an optimal storage space?

Oklahomah had a node go down too..WTF? Ya got me on that one...Can't even make a joke about that..
