My question is... why is it necessary at all for everyone at a hospital to have internet access?
Well, it is necessary for doctors and nurses to have acces to medical instructions, phone catalog, google, pubmed to keep workflow fast. This is not a question about internet access or not, it's a question about lockdown of computers, firewall.
How is passing 90%+ students that would fail keeping the reputation up? Aren't your superiors pissing their pants to warm themselves? One thing university is supposed to teach IMHO is consecvese
Thats for children. The gel (lidocain, localanastethic) has to be in contact for at least an hour to work. Adults generelly don't need that, unless they're mentally ill, or the hospital charges for the patch. If done correctly its possible to stitch 2 year old children in the lips this way.
For anestethic below the dermis, infiltration analgesia is used via an thin needle.
A Chinese remedy for "bad heart" is earthworm tea. Western medecine picked up on this a decade or so ago and calls it "Lumbrecin". It's still worms. IAAD. Yeah, and digitalis, and aspirin and morphine etc. are also from herbs. The diffence is that modern medicine only have a very good understanding of what specific molecule works, how it works and how it is to be used, in what doses, what time of day, how long after symptoms have subsided etc. Herbal medicin as used by "Healers" "Chinese doctors" are used indiscriminantly to cure every disease not knowing whether it works or not, it is a money machine that should be shut down. At most people buy a false hope and get no side effects.
There are quite a few logical failures to fall into when alternative healers use empirical evidence: 1) People usually search help at the height of their disease, thus with or without any treatment the diseasy goes away, but the therapist thinks it is he who cured the client (patient is when someone sees a doctor) 2) People (including excelent doctors) are likely to dismiss negative empirical evidence and overrate positive evidence.
If these herbs are so great, why on earth, aren't they registered as drugs. In Denmark the cheapest effective drug is used and, if a cheap herb drug (such as aspirin) is as usefull, in the specific condition, as an expensive one (such as clopidogrel), the cheaper one is used and the pharmaceutical company making that one makes money. Sometimes the effective molecule is more expensive to refine, than to synthesize it chemically.
Where did you get that information from. It is perfectly wrong. The dead space of an normal adult is approx 150 ml (5 oz). If you had conducting zone (in the medical world know as dead space) you'd have to inhale 3 L every breath to get 500 ml of air into the alveoli. Breathing normally you inhale ca. 600 ml.
But yes there is a significat amount of air that does not get changed everytime, this is mixed with the air from the last breath and then exhaled.
I've been in the US, and the enforcement of the drinking age of 21 is the most stupid thing I've ever met.
The drinking age was raised all over US by way of federal highway money during the early 80'ties. In the small college town I lived in, the police was spending more time breaking up parties just because than stopping every single car on the street. Plenty of people drove (sneaked) home drunk. If there was a 30% chance of getting caught no matter how good you were driving, I think the problem would have been solved, but NO. We can't have all these young people having fun.
And in Denmark, in my freshman year of high school (equivalent to 10th grade, youngest pupil 15 years) at a school meeting some of the seniors set up a TV with a Peter North video and let it run for 5-10 minutes, before the teachers demanded it stopped. Not because of the porn, but mostly because we had to get back to class. Note that the principal and almost all teachers were present those 5-10 minutes.
Well then of course they were positive. What we want is a super sensitive test (got two of those already it seems) and on super specific test. Back to school Yates.
If you're using a debian variant, either the program is in the repository (98%), has a.deb or google-earth-style-install (1%) or only a tarball (1%). I'd say that 1% of the software I want to install is difficult, the rest is dead easy. For windows everyf****g time you want to install something you have to find the software, click I agree 10 times, only to find out it doesn't work and there is no uninstaller. Of you have to type in 25 char codes and click I agree 20 times.
What would be harder: Windows-Debian migration or Debian-windows migration?
Gentoo has been in the game for what 6 years? Ubuntu started out 1,5 years ago. Ubuntu is growing at 40.000 users a year, whereas Gentoo is only half of that. On top of that. You probably NEED to be in the gentoo forums to use gentoo, it's It's pretty hard using a hacker distro without asking all kinds of questions.
There is the Keyser-Fleischer ring (cupper deposits) that can be seen in the outer rim of the iris in Wilsons Disease (deficit in cupper metabolism). Although often times the ring is not seen after diagnosis has been made by blood tests. The disease is fatal unless treated, and also has a high rate of neurological deficits if treatment is initiated too late.
Well I'm running 3 firefox browser windows, with total of 10 tabs, 2 OO.o 1,9xxx calc windows, and a couple of small servers (apache, sftp, cups) not serving anything but sucking ram. And I feel it a pleasent experience on my P3 900 mhz with 384 Mb ram. oh yeah a 2 shells and mplayer.
I don't think I'll upgrade my computer untill it smokes, then I'll buy a used 400$ laptop.
The only reason you're not comftable with old hardware is because you've been used to not having to wait 5 sec. for OO.o to start.
1/3 of tobacco deaths are beacuse of cancer, 1/3 because of COLD (chronic obstructive lung dissease, aka emphysema in this thread) and 1/3 from cardiovascular events.
h.pylori infections, which are notoriously difficult to eradicate.
Eh, no. H.pylori are quite easy to eradicate using a 3-way cure of 1: omeprazole or esomeprazol (ProtonPumpInhibitor) 2: clarithromyzin 3: metronidazole or amoxicillin
to be taken daily for a week. If that is difficult, look up the cure for TB.
Yeah, and some of these immunne prostitutes were out of "work" for 6 months, when they came back they got infected almost immediately. The hypothesis is that they've acquired immunity, but to stay immune they need exposure to the virus often.
I hate to break it to you, but just because 60% or 90% or even 99% of people don't want to own an Atomic Bomb doesn't mean banning Atomic Bombs for the 1% that do isn't a violation of a civil liberty.
The US mentality and laws about guns is dominated by sheer stupidity. Banning guns and bombs has nothing to do with civil liberties, but with having a society where people don't kill each other as easily, either by mistake or by intent. If you need a handgun for shooting at a club or because you're a hunter, apply for it.
Well, the easy way would be a package for either Windows, OsX, or linux, with: script, wget, imagemanipulation software ala imagemagick. Somebody could possibly easily make an one-file exe for windows that download the latest map from the web, and convert it to the proper format.
On the contrary. They put DRM on anything downloded from the web via wap on my X100
I own a Samsung X100 and have I ever regreted buying that piece of sh*t.
1) DRM: Samsung has decided that anything that is downloaded from the net is DRM. Even MY pictures of MY girlfrind that I too and put on MY webserver. Yep those I cannot send as a mms. " Can't send. DRM picture" (yup that's a jpeg)
2) As said before no capital after a period. My ancient Nokia 3210 had that.
3) Loosing messages buy hitting a wrong button. If you've gotten to pick the phone number to sned an sms to, theres only sending or killing the message.
4) Can't change the quick buttons (the arrows), even though that feature exist on the older Samsung C100.
5) Ringtone volume. Why the f*ck does the ringtone volume follow the speaker volume. When my mom calls she's yelling like a maniac and I always tuns down the volume. Then later my girlfriend calls but I won't hear it because the ringtone is ridicously low (even on the high setting)
The only thing you'll be sure to hear is the games melody, that funny enough doesn't follow the volume level, its always louder that you'll ever want even your ringtone to be.
6) Calendar. No option to purge old appointments
It looks like they didn't even test it out for 10 minutes.
Does anybody know whether it was Vioxx (rofecoxib) or Celebra (celecoxib) that was approved on a very faulty trial?
They made a trial to last for 12 months but had to stop after 6 because the test persons stopped taking the new product, then they released the results that said fewer had intestinal problems with a cox-2 inhibitor, but after 12 months that advantage had totally disappeared.
Quite often you'll hear somebody blame something for adding an added risc of cancer. The fact is that statisticly if you have 20 communities of 3000 people the chance of NOT finding an increased risk of something (cancer, kidney-,heart- whatever dicease) is something like 1:1 000 000+
Now remember how many 3000 people communities lies out there in the entire world! No wonder high powered electricity got the blame more than once. They're big, ugly and not natural.
some cancer cells undergo apoptosis... while other cancer cells have mutations that fight actively against it. If you are talking about malign cancer only the very very few cells that *RE*develop the ability to apoptosis undergo apoptosis. The rest may undergo necrosis when the center of the tumor becomes too ischaemic due to too slow angiogenesis.
One of the characteristics of a cancer cell is that it doesn't know when to undergo apoptosis. First tumour cells loose the ability to repair cell damage, then the controll of when to divide and when to not, (still benign), then they gain the ability to cross the basal membrane.
In my dorm we have blocked port 25 from LAN to internet. It was thought to keep viruses from propagating from out network and keep people from setting up a spamserver. Now it looks like a very good decision. (they can actually only use our DMZ smtp gateway, which is antivirus protected).
All ISP or the like should block port 25 outbound by default, and make people use the smtp server of the ISP. If people (1 out of 10.000) would like to use port 25 outbound, they should contact the ISP through a bureaucratic procedure. That would close the trojan hole at least.
Are there any other ports (priviledged/unpriviledged) that one can safely block to avoid trojans and the like???
FYI, here in Denmark the interpretation of the EUCD has made DVD reselling illegal! That is all DVDs other than region 2. It pretty much sucks, as you have to privately import, say region 1 and region 4 discs now if you still want to absorb some kind of foreign culture and art.
Well I think they've found a loophole: You import the DVD from an US based website. Somehow you can both see their catalog and pay (in DKK) at the shop.
3. why cant i resize/zoom a whole webpage like ACROBAT, ie resize all fonts by X percent, and resize all images X percent at the same time too. Well, that would be cool with a zoom feature, but here we are discussing image resizing. only "pictures-only" will be resized.
If a webpage wants a picture at full scale, they should just write pretty simple html to do that.

The US seriously needs to prioritize.
that both tests were extremely sensitive.
Well then of course they were positive. What we want is a super sensitive test (got two of those already it seems) and on super specific test. Back to school Yates.

Any e-mail that does not SPECIFICALLY meet ALL THREE of those definitions IS NOT SPAM
Well, in 99% spam 2) is fulfilled, but the last percent is still spam even though all it says is: "come see hot babes for free. still spam."
How about email like:
"Vote for me next saturday" or "Save your soul now, go to the new church on 5th street"
No price tag, but it is still spam.
