how about the virus guy who basically gave a 50 minute drunken rant about how stupid and worthless current viruses are.
Worst talk ever.
Overall it was a pretty good show I thought. Some excellent talks. It was pretty sedate overall, at least what I saw. I guess everybody is getting older.
Thats an interesting point. I once was at a presentation by a health physicist about exactly this kind of thing. The big deal is that most of our ideas about the biological effects of ionizing radiation come from the people at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. According to this data set the relationship is linear between radiation dose and biological damage, with 50% lethality within 30 days at about 450 REM whole body exposure. The doses that these people got were fairly large, far far larger than the doses encountered in normal ocupational and medical exposures. So the high dose data doesn't neccessarily apply well to low dose populations. There are actually a bunch of different models for the effects of low dose radiation exposure. The simplest is the linear model - all radiation exposure causes biological damage, more exposure causes more damage. The line from the high dose data is just extrapolated down to the low dose region. It's simple and its conservative so thats the model used when designing safety regulations.
Then there's the threshold model. That model says that below a certain dose the damage caused by the radiation can be repaired so no real harm is caused below that threshold dose. Above the threshold the repair processes can't keep up and so damage begins to accumulate.
Then there is the model that says that doses are beneficial below a threshold and then above that threshold cause damage.
Plus there are of course variations on all of these models concerning where the thresholds are and what the curves look like connecting them. Thing of it is, that there is data that supports all of the models, and nobody can come with anything to definatively blow any of them out of the water.

No conspiricy, just good politics. A big part of getting what you want is knowing when to ask. Another big part is being prepared. These people aren't stupid. That's what makes them dangerous.
Rather than destruction, think maintainence. After all the biggest threat to these structures is age. Documenting their condition now gives a benchmark to comapre against future conditions. That will make it possible to detect slow changes.
Which I think kind of limits the whole argument of "needing a new Cold War to get some space science done". While the Cold War certainly started the Lunar program, it also ultimately killed it.
I seem to remember an older Saturday Night Live skit that centered around that. Kelsy Gramer was Capt. Nemeo and it sort of devevolved into everybody just saying '20,000 leagues' to everything.
Well that's good then, they can just get rid of that part of the EULA. Since they would never do that, and would never have any need to do so, there is no reason for the EULA to grant them permission to do such a thing.
I never understood that. I can only guess they threw in the requirement for having oxygen around the gun as an additional complication to be solved. Which leaves the question of how did Jayne work the trigger through the suit?

Probably the easy way. Remember the pyramids are built up out of seperate blocks. They probably cust the shafts out out of the blocks as they were being laid. Cut the bottom part of the shaft out of one block, cut the upper part out of another block, then set it on top of the lower block, continue until the shaft reaches it's destination. As for the door, well you just set in place at the top of the shaft, then build up the pyramid around it. For everything there is is usually a hard a way and a n easy to do it. The trick is finding the easy way.
Since I'm the one paying the taxes, it should be my decision. ...
I care about my own welfare above theirs, and don't see the point in wasting my tax dollars to sustain their lives, when it isn't contributing anything back to "the community".
Excellent!! So I get to pull the switch on everybody in state run nursing homes and state hospitals? I guess if you can't pull your weight it's time to suck the pipe.
Do you even try to think about what you're saying?

If I'm not mistaken, it's from a fake Japanese TV show advertised on Saturday Night Live called "The Nude House of Wacky People" It was kind of a weird sitcom. Like what an Americans vision of how the Japanese might make an American sitcom. A recurring feature of the show was a bear outside the front door, and the father would force people outside to fight the bear.
Like I said it was weird.
Not really an IDE but a super editor with a lot of customization capability. Does syntax highlighting for a ton of languages out of the box and you can define new highlighting patterns and export/import them to/from files. It's what I do the majority of my PHP programming in. It's free to boot. I also use Bluefish some for the HTML work. It's pretty decent with some specialized PHP support. It's nice for forms, you don't need to remeber the exact syntax for all the different input types.

I believe the reason was the same that deep sea divers use pure O2, it was to prevent the bends
Not quite. Divers almost never breath pure O2 in the water. Oxygen under pressure is toxic, and can cause seizures (bad when you're under water). The only exception to this would be what's called an oxygen rebreather. It's a closed circuit breathing system using pure O2. CO2 is scrubbed out with a chemical absorbant. The main feature of these systems is no exhaust bubbles. They were popular with military frogmen for sneaking into harbors and the like during WWII and sometime after, but they could only be 'safely' used shallower than about 30 feet. Deeper than that is asking for trouble.
Nowadays closed circuit breathing systems use mixed gases for breathing and computers to maintain the proper O2 proportion.
When divers do breath pure oxygen is out of the water in a decompression chamber. The idea is to 'wash' (not really what's happening, but the simple way to expain it) the nitrogen out of the divers tissues quicker than breathing air which is 80%+ nitrogen. It's not so much to directly prevent decompression sickness as it is to shorten decompression times.
Fire is always a big concern when doing this, minimum combustibles in the chamber, absolutely no grease or oil on anything and usually special breathing masks that dump the exhaled gas outside the chamber. I used to be in that biz.
I recall seeing on some TV show about a camoflage trick for that. They actually put lights on the aircraft. The intensity of the lights was then adjusted so that their brightness matched the average brightness of the background. From any reasonable distance the aircraft just belnded into the background. Apparently it worked fairly well.
You just reminded me of it.
Radiation, chemotherapy and the like are more likely to kill cells during division. Cancer cells divide all the time, hence are more sensitive to these agents. Most normal cells don't divide as much and aren't as senstive. Exceptions would be hthe cells that line the gi tract and form hair follicles. Which is why rad/chemotherapy tends to make people losse their hair.

Definately. As long as whoever runs the server is trustworthy. Of course Micrososft is pretty good in that regard -
Oh wait, never mind.

Whoops. I he and Avon were the only two to survive the entire series.
I might just have to dig the old VHS tapes out and revisit it.
That would be Villa.

Ok now that sold me. I was pretty ho-hum about this, but if it's like B7 (B5, B7, whatever it takes), there's potential.

No problem, just bury it again, it'll shut up.
