Burzynski wasn't just threatening to sue. They sent one blogger a photo of his house saying we know where you live. And they threatened the other blogger's family.
There are several evolutionary topics that doctors must know about, including antibiotic resistant bacteria and animal testing of humans drugs and procedures.
Medical students should be taught about various cases of bacteria acquiring immunity to specific antibiotics, taught how challenging finding new antibiotics is, and taught how many lives would be lost without them. You might even ask them to work through a simplified mathematical model of immunity acquisition.
Medical students should be given an overview of why some animals make more suitable animal models for human medications, including how our closest relatives like chimpanzees make the best models but require more care, more expense, live too long, and raise moral issues. Rats are used earlier in the process because they cost so little but model some human systems reasonably. All these reasons should be explained in terms of convergent and divergent evolution.
If they fail that material, fine don't give them the degree that let's them prescribe drug.
I've found that living 10 min walking distance from work eliminates most advantages of telecommuting while granting all the advantages of the office. People should live in smallish but densely packed cities with few cars. And exorbitant gas prices should help keep the cars away.
There are of course people who must commute for personal reasons, mostly couples with serious jobs in different cities. European style high speed rail serves them infinitely better than automobile gridlock. Read on the train vs. stress out in the car.
Just fyi, there is a Bahn Card 100 for 3500 Euros per years which gives you unlimited train usage in Germany without buying any tickets. Ergo, if your commute costs like 130 Euros per week without any Bahn Card, then you might as well buy a Bahn Card 100 and enjoy the freedom of never even needing to buy a ticket! Amtrack won't sell you any ticket without requiring ID by comparison.
At present, high speed rail lines service multiple low throughput destinations by offering extras services that bypass all intermediate stops and or service that stop only at some intermediate stops.
There are for example four cities on the TGV Sud-Est line : Paris, Le Creusot, Mâcon-Loché, and Lyon. You'll have a train from Paris to Lyon every 30 min. but only some stop at Le Creusot or Mâcon-Loché, and those need not all stop at both, meaning a traveller from or between these may wait considerably longer than 30 min. There would be more trains for all travelers if we had platforms that matched speed with the trains.
In other words, the proposal is exactly designed around servicing locations where people travel infrequently enough that simply running more trains isn't cost effective, i.e. traveling less cannot help assuming you wish the same speed and convenience.
A priori, there isn't much near term future in this technology in France because frankly, if you were worth the SNCF getting you to your destination so quickly, then you'd already own a house in Paris and you probably don't travel much, hey France is star shaped both politically and travel wise, blame Napoleon. Germany's ICEs otoh have a more egalitarian grid-like network, rather than a star-like network, maybe they could build this.
Apple and Microsoft would be worse than Google because Google at least (a) has caught NSLs and (b) published statistics on government data requests. Yes, Google is better at trying to sell you stuff, but that's mostly harmless. And paradoxically Google's skill at selling you stuff is why they don't sell the raw data to anybody else.
Your phone company would however be much worse than all three, given the depth of their existing relationship with authorities. In addition, your phone company has the least competence in advertising, making them the greatest chance of selling your raw data to advertisers.
Ergo, it doesn't much matter what phone you use. Worry more about the carrier.
The core issue is how SOPA changes the liability structure to permit endless copyright troll lawsuits. It doesn't matter if your users are or aren't infringing if copyright holders can sue you endlessly regardless.
Do you wish your trolling powers were put to better use than simply trolling the already crappy/. messages threads? If so, there is an opportunity for you on the AFL-CIO blog!
It appears the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE) is an AFL-CIO union. Any members should apply some pressure against their support for this madness.
I'd hope the AFL-CIO would shape up if enough members threatened to quit.
A priori, Covert Browser cannot be trusted nearly so much as the real Tor project because Covert Browser is closed source. You might trust Roger Dingledine personally though because he's a big wig in the Tor Project. I'd hope he permits others within the Tor Project to review his code and he verifies that Apple hasn't recompiled Covert Browser with modifications.
We invented languages like PHP and VB because we need many poorly skilled developers for drudge work. If you don't do brain dead easy work, then don't hire people trained for brain dead easy development.
There are *many* shitty universities inside the U.S. too, heck fraudulent education is a growth industry. You'd never hire developers from University of Phoenix though, simply because you already know they suck. Did you ever try asking your skilled Indian colleges which Indian universities are actually good?
China engages in an incredible amount of espionage, both industrial and military. I'd imagine they've already modified chips in hard drives, cpus, or motherboard chipsets to help extract information. Forget military secrets, simply snatching some large bank's HTF code gives you vast options.
We should built fabs here and charge double the price for 'secure' equipment. We'd require that all components used for classified military work were manufactured here, but presumably other companies will jump onboard for select systems.

Imho, the Dutch should invest in this technology.

You realize that T-mobile just obtained $4B from AT&T, right?
China should buy them, lower the prices, expand the coverage, and use them for spying on American businesses. lol
Umm, Wave got canned pretty damn fast, they just didn't completely pull the plug until recently.

Is CNM a private-ish collections agency for the music industry that'll rip off artists?
OR
Is CNM a public organization that sponsors artists creating new music? Ala BBC, PBS, etc.
Big fucking difference!

There is more discussion about Cover Browser being closed source on metafilter.org

I donno, man. Isn't M$ breaking new ground in patent trolling.
They could launch their own label. I suppose they kinda did with youtube.

LLVM has taken every small profiling advantage the Hotspot JVM found and back ported it to C.
We could even see functional languages with layers of profiling metacode producing self modifying code that runs blazingly fast.
There is a fairly eloquent youtube video that discusses security researchers actually being paid for their efforts :

Does this mean they get the (real?) names of everyone who followed these guys?
He could volunteer some time for some good non-profit, something he felt good about doing.
