It's always easy to shoot things down (for any of you scientists - ever have journal club?), than to see the possible merits of the idea. OK so L.A., Japan and other seismicaly active areas are probably "out" for placement of these systems. Any industry chemists, engineers or physicists out there with any experience low pressure systems? Remember this doesn't have to be a "total" vacuum, just low enough to balance the vacuum pump to fuel ratio.
Instead of learning how to pump gas, we learn extortion, how to make it look like an "accidental" death, how to hide a body/evidence, how to whack people and not make a mess on our suits, and how to get even.
Why bother, I can have someone do it for me (in the freezing snow, rain, spiners, etc), it keeps my hands from smelling and it's cheaper than most of the country.
Do you cook your own hamburgers/steaks when you go out and eat? - no someone doe sit for you.
Bone is a living substance as well as the cartilage covering at the ends of the bone, and thus it is immunogenic. Donated bone (usually ground up donorcyclists) is often used in people in a variety of states. I order to not generate an immunogenic response it must be processed and this processing kills the cells (freezing/chemical, etc). Bone is continually being reformed - ie dissolved and rebuilt up by various cells in the body. If you plate a donated piece of bone into a body the living bone typically only grows 2 to 3 millimeters! into the donated bone, resulting in a piece of dead bone attached to a piece of living bone. Dead bone is sometimes "dissolved" by various cells in the body (unpredicatable response) and is often a source for infection (bad) and can fracture easily. Don't forget that joint tolerances are approximately in the millimeter range and donated osteoarticular allografts( donated joints) are often not able to be precisely matched with the remaining joint surface and thus are subject to arthritis too. All in all gross bone donations are usually only used in very rare tumor cases. It is much easier and much more predicatable to use artificial joints (total arthroplasties). The complication rate is significantly! much lower as well. Donated bone is typially only used as "spackle" to fill in some small defects. In case you haven't guesed, this is what I do for a living.
There have been many scientific and medical papers on this suposed syndrome. Basically the list of complaints that people suffered from were far to numerous and of different types to be produced from any substance or biologic. I've worked with a few people who have researched it, and one MD who was over there , who said that USUALLYmost of the complaints are general whole body pain, aches, etc usualy attributable to unhappy people (e.g somatatization: non specific body pains attributable to general unhappiness, usually from people who are unhappy with their predicament in life and wish to avoid it - kinda like the school kid who "feels" sick when they don't want to go to school)
Even if you watch the commercial at 10x speed you're stil watching it. May the law can be circumvented by burst compressing commercials into 1 second bursts - that way you're still "watching" the commercial. Epileptics may have a few problems though...
I'm an Othopaedic surg resident. Some of the residency interviews have a manual skills section where they've used the operation board game, or have guys(not too many women in ortho!) build weird little models with the erector sets in insanely short times. A lot of dental schools also have a manual skills section of the interview - getting to those out of the way places in the back of the mouth takes some fine dexterity.... Anyway Orthopedics is a lot of fun we get to play with cool power tools and build weird erector set like models like these

I remember My first computer Apple II in 1980. There weren't ANY games you could buy. But, however, there were BOOKS with games and programs with the code printed in BASIC. You had to copy the program out of the book and then save it to a crappy radioshack tape player.. Remember listening to the start of a program...BRAAAA....BRAAAABOOOSCCRRRR! I also remember some of the code used "A" in IF THEN statements and the computers generating errors from that ERROR line 10 IF AT HEN goto line 100
Why, 'cause you have to expend a fair amount of energry just lifting fuel up as your craft ascends. not to mention heating loss thru the atmosphere/clouds. Just ask yourself what's more efficient riding a bike under your own leg power or having someone shoot a hot laser at your waterpack to propel you by steam....I don't think so..
As far as I've read the "cable" or ribbon will only be at its max diameterseveral inches - our guidance systems aren't that good -the current (USA) tech can hit stuff on te order of magnitude of a jet. The ribbon version of the cable is 1 meter wide by a FEW MICRONS!.
At least in the RPM dependent style of package installation this can be a real pain in the *ss. I kinda hate having to install 10 or so other programs just to get the intended one to work. Yah I could just build it myself, But if Winders can do it so easily, then why can't we? Plus these semi-redundant libraries can also eat up disk-space and download time.
Ribosomes, when reading mRNA, are TRANSLATING the messge into protein. When DNA is copied into mRNA that's called transcription and it's done by polymerases..
It wasn't clear to me, but I think you got it right. This is just to clarify the issue for the uninformed of translation vs transcription.
I like AMD's but even w/ case fans I still can get a thermal overload on 90+ deg days when I'm running at 100% CPU usage.
I'm gonna go w/ Intel just cause I cant afford the AC bills in the summer to keep the AMDs cool
This is essentially useless

Just my 2cents I'm an orthopaedic surgery resident and as far as I know the only specialty using lasers are the opthomology guys (eye surgeons) mostly for LASIK and zapping bleeders in diabetic retinas. Some of the liver transplant guys use it also, but this is kinda rare stuff.
We (orthopods) used to use it , but discontinued its use since it kills the cartilage (thermal necrosis). In most cases a simple knife or scissors works very well
If you read the article it states that arthroscopy of the knee is ineffective in osteoarthritic knees - i.e. knees in older people who probably need knee replacements. In people who don't have OA, it's an effective and valuable operation
I remember after one of the first marathon sessions of playing Tetris having dreams where I played the game... Several of my friends also shared the same experience..
I can remember my eyes moving in those jagged little patterns...

If you're over 55, a total hip will have over 95% survivorship at 10-12 years post-op.
He did what you're not supposed to do and has had at least 2 revisions(other surgeries, each more extensive) in about three years.
Total hips aren't made for running around/playing tenis, let alone pro ball.
He got what was coming to him for abusing his total hip that way - it only lasted a year, as opposed to 10-12 years in most people..
