One of the most profitable branches of the pharmaBiz is orphan drugs, expensive drugs needed by a hand full of people at outrageous prices; Often these drugs are public domain. I read about a woman who needed a drug which cost her health insurance $6,400.00 a DAY and was in the public domain. Can you imagine going to bed each night and wondering if you just had a day worth $6,400.00?
The production quotas are based on the number of applications that examiners must review and complete biweekly and have not been adjusted since 1976. Since then, patent applications have become more complex, which means it takes longer to review them. Maybe the just have to management on-board with some new policies "if it not understandable it's no" "if its not revolutionary, it's obvious" "someone skilled in the arts means someone skilled in the art being patented not skilled in the art of being a patent attorney"
The 1Gflop threshold was set as the necessary processing power to calculate balistic trajectories for missile systems. I can't find the documentation, but my understanding is that the current threshold is 190Gflop (since Jan 2002). What did they do move Israel so we can sell more powerful computers?
He had one, I'm guess one he bought for personal use and developed the software on it. Once he had the software running with good performance he asked Sony for some for free, because he figured that the grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) would be a tough sell; of course now that he has a system and its proven grants from National Science Foundation for buying PS3. The 8 PS3's give him 64 processor cores to run in parallel
back in the day they used to say the way to really destroy the Soviet Union was to spend the money for one B1 bomber toshiba laptops with unix installed and drop them instead of bombs, the Russians would be networked in one week via UUCP and the free flow of information would destroy the soviets. They also said that dopping the manuals would kill more soviets that atomic bombs would.
If the water molecule is smaller than the ethanol then you should be able to separate it, but my guess is that the pump to pressurize the solution to push out the water would be significant.
My understanding is the real break through is more along the lines of more consistent pore size, and the hourglass shape to the pores increasing flow rates.
We demonstrated free-volume structures in dense vitreous polymers that enable outstanding molecular and ionic transport and separation performance that surpasses the limits of conventional polymers. The unusual microstructure in these materials can be systematically tailored by thermally driven segment rearrangement. Free-volume topologies can be tailored by controlling the degree of rearrangement, flexibility of the original chain, and judicious inclusion of small templating molecules. This rational tailoring of free-volume element architecture provides a route for preparing high-performance polymers for molecular-scale separations.

I read that as the short answer is yes but not today, check back in a couple months. It also seems to point to being able to extract CO2 from the atmosphere.
There is all kinds of commercial uses for CO2, just capturing the CO2 from the waste stream of a power plant and using it is better than burning natural gas to kilning limestone just to generate CO2. Even at that there are about four or five ways off the top of my head that will sequester CO2, 1. you can just dump it into the deep cold ocean where it will just sit on the bottom in a puddle 2. you can pump it into empty oil or gas fields 3. you can pump it into oil fields to push out more oil 4. you can feed it to algea to make bio-diesel 5. you can heat it to high temperature with steel wool and extract the oxygen
I've been looking for that graphic in wikipedia, thanks, I don't see how it supports your arguements but thanks. The problem is that the road actually radiates very little energy as IR photons, most of it's energy is conducted to the air which then rises cools and loops. This is how a green house really works it simply block the warmed air from rising and being replace with cooler air. For an experiment make a two identical solar collectors in one use a glass window which will absorb almost all of the IR radiation and one with an KI, Potassium Iodide window which will absorb almost no IR and is use in IR spectroscopy. If the absortion of the IR by the glazing has any significant influence on whether or not a green house works, one should be significantly warmer after being exposed to the sun all day.
The popular belief that excessive computer use causes painful carpal tunnel syndrome has been contradicted by experts at Harvard Medical School. According to them, even as much as seven hours a day of tapping on a computer keyboard won't increase your risk of this disabling disorder.
What they are saying is that most CTS has no identifiable cause, especially computer use. It's like the joke about the guy that complains to the doctor that it hurts when he does something, so the Dr. tells him. "Don't do it". If the computer use is aggravating something, slow down if possible. Try on of these Bambach Saddle Seat they actually work.
The advantage of RAID 5 is if one drive gets toasted, the RAID just slows down until a new drive is installed and the data moved over to it, the software can compute what the missing data should be, the increased size is just an added bonus. If all the drives were in the same enclosure that had "no user serviceable parts inside" you would not be able to replace the bad drive, losing the primary advantage of RAID 5.
It's a given that you have the rights, they are in effect by virtue of being natural or born. this is the default state of affairs in the USA, your ancestors fought to keep their rights, they didn't fight to get them.
What we really need now though is RAID-5 for the average Joe. That would be Linux, does RAID 5 i software so you don't have a proprietary controller board toasting your data and you can even make a beowolf cluster of these things if you want google-class storage.
Our government can only do what our constitution allows it to do, and I fail to recall any mention of a international court of legeslative body mentioned in it. In America Soverignity flows from God to the People to the govenment, and possible from the government to the UN so basical international law is lower than whale shit, it's the old man yelling get off my grass.
Basicaly yes, in the US, the premise is God gave soverignity to the People who in turn allow the government to govern. In Europe it more God gave Soveringity to the King/government who considered the people chattel. So for us your right it's breaking a few treaties probably with countries we could argue no longer exist, maybe bending an executive order or a deptmental regulation, for Europeans it's probably illegal.
A circular geosynchronous orbit in the plane of the Earth's equator has a radius of approximately 42,164 km (from the center of the Earth). A satellite in such an orbit is at an altitude of approximately 35,786 kilometers above mean sea level. It will maintain the same position relative to the Earth's surface. If one could see a satellite in geostationary orbit, it would appear to hover at the same point in the sky.i.e., not exhibit diurnal motion, while one would see the Sun, Moon, and stars traverse the heavens behind it. This is sometimes called a larke orbit.
I know hitting one seems easy because they don't move enogh to require tracking on the ground-station, but they are little tiny dots a very long ways away, and they do move. they move because their neighbors tug and pull on them, there are other planets that pull on them and of course the sun, but the biggest influence is the Moon.If the Moon can pull water up enoght to cause the tides near the bottom of Earth's gravity well, imagine what it does to poor geosync satelites. Right now we're hitting satelites 320Km up, Clarke orbits are 35,786 so if doubleing the distance makes a shot 4 times more dificult, a geosync would be 4.62*10^33 more difficult!

I imagine anything from or from close to a cow's brain is tough to get om the market with the mad-cow going around

I would hope so because the market for slices on Blue Gene just dropped out.

Why because we love Sony so much for their membership in the RIAA, the MPAA and infamous rootkits around here?
You beat me to it, of course the joke was probably lost on someone with that high of a UID
I prefer alt.sex.barney, purple gets me all twitterpated!

The spot itself is cooler, but the larger area around the spot is hotter so more posts means more solar energy.

You used warmth and 100 degrees kelvin in the same sentence too
