Medical students never forget the arbitrary nationalities of the Finn and German.
This is from a mnemonic for the 12 cranial nerves (Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens, Facial, Auditory, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Spinal Accessory, Hypoglossal). The standard mnemonic is:

But I find this one even more memorable [pun intended]:
Oh Oh Oh, To Touch And Feel A Girl's Vagina, Such Heaven!
Fuel cell technology got a boost recently when international air flight regulators changed rules that banned passengers from carrying flammable methanol onto aircraft.
So now when the guy sitting next to you's computer bombs, it means something entirely different.
The United States has approximately 548 doctors, 280 hospital beds and 772 nurses per 100,000 people.
In a pandemic with 50% infected, each doctor would have to care for twenty people, and each nurse for twelve.
Check your math. That's 50,000 infected people (274 of whom are doctors, leaving only 274 to care for the patients); making over 180 patients per doctor, nearly 130 per nurse. The mere idea of a hospital bed with 357 patients and three nurses would tax even the Spice Channel.
This is already done to some extent; tidal power has the advantage (over wind and solar) of being reliable and predictable, although it is not constant in any given location.
Some research is being done here; one potential issue is that the Gulf Stream is theoretically in danger of shutting down altogether due to global warming. Tapping its current may only hasten this, even if it reduces environmentally-unfriendly power generation elsewhere... It is food for thought, definitely.
What is dangerous is jumping to the conclusion of why it is changing. If we were to "accept" the opinions of a few climatologists that human nature is what is causing the climate change...
I beg to differ. In a recent study by Science Magazine, a search of the ISI database on the keyword "climate change" yielded 928 peer-reviewed papers, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF WHICH disputed the conclusion that global warming is caused by man-made changes to the atmosphere.
The so-called "debate" only exists in the popular press, where (in a misguided attempt to provide "balance",) 53% of articles express doubt on global warming. Red-staters may not like this article very much either, but I challenge any of them to find a respectable counterargument.
Less waste energy doesn't change the fact that it takes a lot of energy to state change that much water. No way around that fact.
Sure there is; you get the energy BACK when the state changes back to liquid. From a related article:
"However, 1,000 watts of heat won't boil much water, so Kamen developed a closed system, powered by whatever fuel is at hand, that traps the energy released when the boiled water vapor recondenses. Essentially, he's recycling heat. Result: a low-power, low-maintenance device that will cost around $1,000 to manufacture and makes 10 gal. of drinkable water an hour."
Quit dreaming. You know the nations of the world would never be able to cooperate on so large a project. And the cost! You Slashdot idealists...
True, true. The major point of contention appears to be how much ozone and carbon dioxide the cushion should contain, and which nations should or should not contribute to this factor.
build the fucking array of photo cells and then reroute to energy straight to the heart of Vegas. You know how fucking expensive it is to run an air-conditioner during the summer.
Have you even flown over Vegas and noticed that the roofs of most of the buildings and casinos are BLACK?? I mean, wtf are they thinking??
Perhaps one day the roofs will be covered with these.
With static subjects you can just expose it until noise becomes a problem (well over thirty seconds with some cameras - which have noise compensation that make much longer exposures look reasonable). Eventually they'll be more sensitive sensors.
Um, this is backwards. The whole point of long exposures is to _reduce_ noise; the noise tends to average itself out over time, while the signal (what you are trying to photograph) becomes clearer. This is the same principle that requires a large sample size to get an accurate poll.

Wow. Whoever modded my post informative completely missed the joke. (Unless the mod itself was a joke...) I was going for +5 Redundant. :)

You can also masturbate for prostate health!
Sure, but does it work if you're a woman?

That explains why no one on Slashdot has EVER gotten prostate cancer.

I said a survey of a small number of articles...
A search of hundreds of thousands of articles that turns up 928 relevant ones is hardly a small sample.
There ARE dissenting reports out there

Highly qualified statisticians have argued that at it's most fundamental level, the analysis of the tree ring and some core data is flawed.

Bet it takes a lot more to boil enough dirty water to produce 1000L a day of distilled water.
RTFA. The distillation inside the engine is MUCH more efficient than simply "boiling" water at 1atm.
Do rocks regularly make imperfect, self-sustaining copies of themselves?
In Asteroids they do.

There is probably no technical problem in creating digital audio at 4MB/s, 1Mhz, but you don't hear any audio engineers asking for it.
Perhaps, but I'm sure the mice would appreciate it.
