If only there were a way to pair a scientist and a programmer so that you had both skills sitting right there together writing the program, with one navigating the advanced math stuff while the other drove the good programming practices. Shirley, there must be somebody who's thought about how to do this. But perhaps it is just too extreme a practice to ever catch on.
Because even though pennies are going away, cents aren't. Transactions using credit cards, debit cards or whatever other non-cash methods you have, aren't rounded to the nearest nickel.
OK, then you have the police report. Once you have that, you ought to be able to get a court order easily enough. Police should not be able to walk in and say shut down this phone until they can show some evidence to a judge. But first, you need a law that defines under what circumstances such an order can be issued, and it should also make clear that the police, not the phone company, are liable when they shut down a phone improperly. Just shutting off a phone because the cops ask them to opens a phone company up to all kinds of getting sued.
This opens an area where open-source software ought to be able to make an enormous impact, saving both money and lives. But who would adopt it, regardless of how little the liability of the developer? The doctors, hospitals and pharmacists would have their lawyers tell them to try to protect themselves even that infinitesimal amount by avoiding it.
This won't prevent all events, only those caused by pharmacists being unable to read hand-written prescriptions. There will still be those resulting from doctors misremembering the name of the medication or a pharmacist grabbing a wrong bottle. No doubt it would save a lot of lives, but most of those would be saved by simply typing prescriptions instead of hand writing them.
Along the same line, however, there is a ridiculous amount of paper being faxed between doctors and between doctors and insurance companies that should have been eliminated long ago and replaced with email. I talk to people that do this, and they use the all-in-one machines to print both kinds of paper, but can't seem to comprehend the similarity of the two media. Perhaps the use of a secure method of communication, such as encrypted email, would finally replace faxes. Someday, even lawyers might accept the technology.
Its plugin is not quite seamless, but it works smoothly enough with Safari and Firefox. They're working on Chrome and Opera plugins, but they aren't there yet.
We would see an immediate and massive drop in drug trafficking, accompanied by a brief burst of violence as the drug cartels blow themselves out of business. They would stand no chance of holding on to even the tiniest fraction of their operation when they have to compete with CVS and Wal-Mart and their cheap, Chinese drugs.
I couldn't agree with you more, the DEA is nothing more than red tape.
O would that they were. Then they wouldn't be promiscuously destroying lives and stripping all of us of our liberty. It's for the children! Screw 'em, they're kids. What would they do with civil rights?
It's actually quite easy to discern those who need it from those who don't: you give it to them. If their symptoms go away they need it, else they don't and some other treatment is called for.
Several authors have suggested that stretching has a beneficial effect on injury prevention. In contrast, clinical evidence suggesting that stretching before exercise does not prevent injuries has also been reported. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15233597
This shows a complete lack of understanding of what this training is about. In order to bang out 100 leg presses you have to be working at an extremely low intensity, and banging weights is the way to tear your muscles. High Intensity means doing one set, of very few reps, with moderately heavy weights, moving slowly and smoothly, and maintaining perfect form throughout every motion. This way there is virtually no risk of injury. And then resting for several days to allow the muscles that have been worked hard to recover and rebuild. In fact, even this a overworking; it takes only seconds at maximum capability to produce the desired effect from an exercise.
I work out once a week, for 20 minutes at a time, and have wonderful improvement in my blood pressure and resting pulse rate in the last six months. My endurance in other activities is also improving slowly but surely. And that with no injury whatsoever, though I am sore the next day.
Contrary to descriptions elsewhere on the page, I do no warm-ups or warm-downs, and no stretching before or after exercise. Stretching moves muscles to their weakest positions, which weakens them, and stresses their attachments to bones. Together, this means that stretching both lowers the effectiveness of exercise and raises the likelihood of injury. Don't do it.
I guess I'm not clear on the definition of dark matter. Aren't these clouds of cold CO, that have never been seen or expected before now, dark matter? There is nothing in the definition that requires that dark matter be something exotic, only that it be invisible up to now which describes these clouds.
Notice that I'm not suggesting that this accounts for all dark matter, or even a meaningful fraction of it, only that it fits the definition of dark matter by not having been observed before.

A 1911 is far more reliable than any revolver.
The reason the police have their "request" denied is because there is no law giving them the power to make such a request.

they'd just take all that cash and buy Microsoft, lop off the deadwood at the top and spin off three or four little companies to build iOS apps.
Don't tell your insurance agent that. I think you have it backwards: the main, and possibly only, reason people spend money is to avoid risk.

What do you mean "been enacted"? We've always been at war with Eastasia.

Yes. It's too bad they aren't supposed to enforce drug laws.

I agree. And since that's all the DEA does, it should be put down.
I never lift without my trainer keeping a close watch on my form. I'm very lazy and he's very strict.

Actually, 100 grams of carbs is right in the Atkins level, though it is at or near the top, but still within the limit depending on the person.
Shh. Don't confuse them with actual facts.
Nope. That's the exact opposite of what you need now.
Those exercise have already done much for my heart rate. As it did for the subjects of the tests described in TFA.

How dense does a galactic-size cloud have to be to contain a meaningful mass? These things fill kajillions of cubic parsecs, right?
