One of the largest stashes of medical data Johnson discovered during two weeks of research he conducted in January was a database containing two spreadsheets from a hospital he declined to identify. The files contained records on 20,000 patients, which included names, Social Security numbers, insurance carriers and codes for diagnoses. The codes identified by name four patients infected with AIDS, the mental illnesses that 201 others were diagnosed as having and cancer findings for 326 patients. Data also included links to four major hospitals and 355 insurance carriers that provided health coverage to 4,029 employers and 266 doctors. File-sharing networks used to uncover thousands of medical records
The law gave the job of enforcement to HHS, including the authority to impose fines of $100 for each civil violation, up to a maximum of $25,000. HHS can also refer possible criminal violations to the Justice Department, which could seek penalties of up to $250,000 in fines and 10 years in jail. Medical Privacy Law Nets No Fines
20,000 violations * $25,000 per violation fine = $500,000,000.00 in totals fines; I don't see the problem! Seriously tell someone they owe a half a billion dollars in fines it's going to get the attention of the whole community.
Forth is more like a RPN programable calculator on steroids, it's stack based and used more for embedded systems, but I haven't looked at it in decades. In it's day it was used in 8 bit PC's to replace BASIC as a programming language.
Lisp is a powerful text processing language, EMACS is written in a version of Lisp, it was also the language of AI for decades. Its keywords are a little intimidating for someone who didn't grow up writing programs in IBM 360 Assembler, but Logo fixes that. I'm surprised it isn't used more in Bioinformatics because it also excels at pattern recognition.
All they have to do is look at the referer in the HTTP request, if your refered from the ISP's portal your good to go, it's a lot easier for the ISP to tell if your a subscriber than the content provider.
There is probably a pretty good selection of spare parts to replace items the fail or don't come up to spec during testing to get a good start on building a replacement satellite.
If you had actually read the article, you might have noticed that the antibodies discovered are in fact naturally produced in the human body and not the result of "playing God". Unfortunately the body doesn't seem to produce enough of these antibodies to result in immunity; probably because the influenza virus has distracting structures that are rapidly mutating. The researchers are proposing stimulating the immune system to produce more antibodies for the non-mutating parts of the virus by making a vaccine out of the non-mutating part.
They may get linux to run on it, but then it won't be able to communicate with any peripherals. WTF is the point???
well the article said
Open androidVNC from your android programs menu.
Connect to 'localhost' port '5901' and enter your password.
That seems to imply to me that you can connect to any X11 server you have credentials for and a network connection to and therefore any peripherals on that server or network.
Except they are not Breaking the Web they all ready Broke the Web and are now trying to put it back together in dribbles and drabs. The Emperor has been running around naked for a long time and everybody except a few of us were pretending he was clothed; now everybody is complaining about a wardrobe change.
Right now, over-the-air DTV blows away the over-compressed offerings from the cablecos, downloaded HDTV content I get from NASA and others over Miro blows away the cablecos as well, these guys are in trouble. The only show I watch regularly is BSG and I can get that over the internet from multiple sources.
My newest computer came with a remote control, a TV tuner card, surround sound audio output and a 22 inch LCD monitor; that's quite servicable for watching TV and downloads. My 42 inch LCD TV has VGA input, and the other computer has a wireless keyboard and mouse, I could get real fancy with ease.
I'm going to go out on a limb here but since Boxee requires flashlib, i'll bet it's mostly a flash player, furthermore since Hulu.com will shown me anything through a web browser it mainly a http server; I'd be surprised if Tiger told them he was Chi-Chi, then all would be good. Might be a little more sophisticated than merely checking user agent ID's but not likely.
Don't get your skivies in a wad, E. Coli are promiscuous little whores and does the bacteria conjugation, transduction and transformation thing; so what your neighbor does isn't anything the little bugger aren't doing by trial and error anyways.
Interesting, now it's clear as mud, the French sub got bumped in a soft spot on the nose and got crinkled, the Brit's bumped on a hard spot with no real damage until the French sub's towed array kept coming due to inertia and fouled the Brit's prop. These propellers are super precise and the least damage would destroy the shafts and bearings balance causing probably millions of Euros in damage. I bet everybody and their brother's are going to search the bottom for fallen goodies so they can figure out what the French can and can't hear out there.
A more sinister explanation would be the Le Triomphant was tailing the Vanguard, and they ran into the Vanguard when the British sub slowed/stopped. They aren't going to explain to the public that a friendly nation's nuclear sub has been tailing our sub all along.
I thought it was a French and a British subs that collided.
Liquid CO2 is very close to water as far as a solvent for both organic and inorganic materials and I think it's more plausible than substituting arsenic for phosphorus in living systems.
Silicon based life is pretty far fetched, the temperature requirements for chemical reactions are pretty high compared to carbon based polymers. Even the silicone we commercially are primarily carbon chains with as silane base or two attached.
Personally I'd look to Archea for examples of possible hidden biospheres; theose guys are turning up all over the place and not too many years ago we we thought they were just a few fringe niche creatures.
While I agree with what you are saying for the most part, it's also easy for a reasonably intelligent person to quickly recognize articles that are contentious mess of personal agendas from articles that are substantive.

True. That's why they invented vodka.

Am I the only one that assumed the CHOPS program cured homosexuality via traumatic castration?
I play mine with my feet half of the time, so far no problems except my scores suck.

The porn sites seem to be able to send locality specific ad with fluid ease, I guess big media isn't as sophisticated as the porn-mongers!

if we hide all of our nukes, how will the enemy even know we have them? I say show them off!!
They know, their satellites see the Crews families waving good-bye as they leave port and welcome home moths later when they return.
