Amusing (and mostly related story) - when Windows for Workgroups came out (95?), my school decided to put the whole school in a workgroup (4,000 students) for printer sharing / etc. and switch to exchange from a Unix-based mail system - they asked Microsoft for advice and basically were told - "That's a bigger system than anyone has implemented so far - let us know how it works!"
While your point #2 may be correct, #1 is (to quote you) "simply incorrect" - what physical explanation can you give to justify it? The poster is correct - "escape velocity" is just the velocity required for an object to escape Earth's gravitational field (in actuality, probably to arrive at a point where Earth's gravitational field is counterbalanced by other influences).
There is no physical reason that a spacecraft (given an engine which can generate the required thrust) could NOT leave Earth at any velocity - from.1 m/s to 3X10^8-1 m/s - instead of criticising the parent poster, why don't you stop and think about what you're writing, or did you stop learning physics at the college freshman level?
(disclaimer - if someone with a physics or aeronautical engineering degree beyond my B.S. can correct me, I welcome a better understanding of classical mechanics)
Totally OT, but FWIW, Deep Impact was a much better movie than Armageddon - the science wasn't nearly so stretched - Armageddon's competitive advantage was probably Liv Tyler...
Just to pile on what everyone else has said - don't you think there should be a monetary reward of some sort for inventing? This brings to mind a guy who recently had the idea to mix silicone with antimicrobial agents in an effort to cure his wife's dermatitis - he ended up with a hand sanitizing rub that will kill bacteria for hours after application, even after hand washing.
Now he's filed for a patent, will license the product to a large company which will produce it and sell it to hospitals everywhere, and possibly save the lives of patients who otherwise would have picked up a MDR (multi drug resistant) bug from the hands of their nurse / doctor / janitor instead. So the product is now widely available, approved for use, and the inventor gets a (deserved) reward for his hard work.
The alternatives, in your patent-less world, are two:
1. The guy releases his formula, it's picked up by generic drug manufacturers everywhere, and he never sees a dime from his invention.
2. The guy is worried that his idea will be copied, keeps the formula a secret, and sells it to a cosmetics company, which then sells it in perpituity, never revealing the secret formula, maintaining a monopoly on this dermatitis-curing cream, and screwing over those same patients who were helped by the patent process, because it can't get approved as a medical product without revealing the formula.
So it seems that you want to either screw the inventor, or screw the rest of the world - which one is it?
I think you underestimate the effort involved in "monitoring" a trial. Most trials have at least one dedicated statistician working with the clinical researchers to make sure that the results are analyzed properly - just on this basis, I think that "tens of thousands" of statisticians, or even an even thousand, assuming they can each work on ten current trials at once, would be required to continuously update the trial results - hardly a low-cost center...
You missed the point -
The previous poster is saying that whether or not a person is guilty is a predetermined fact, based on whether they committed a crime, and that the court will merely "find" them either guilty or not guilty - being "found" guilty or not doesn't make it so, it just tells society that the court believes you to be so. Semantics, maybe, but not an unimportant distinction.
I would hardly call The Lancet a "non-standard" journal. Probably one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world. Overview of their discovery here:

Do your homework.
Well,
It seems that coming back from fighting terrorism helped me get a med school slot - but then, that's pretty much the opposite of a job, since I am supposed to pay someone else $50K a year, and not the other way round... Might work differently with jobs....
It works by shining a red light through the extremity and calculates O2 Sat based on absorption - oxygen carrying RBCs do not absorb the light, whereas deoxygenated RBCs do.
As a side note, this is what fools you with CO poisoning - hemoglobin bound by CO also does not absorb red light - same reason that people with CO poisoning look fine.
Having actually driven and ridden extensively in that exact area for two joyous weeks of my life, I can tell you the terrain is abolutely miserable - even with two humans in a very capable HMMWV, with a map, GPS, night vision, etc, it's a bitch to get around in that area, especially off the beaten path. 7 miles is a pretty darn good showing, in my opinion.
Having watched the surveillance tape of a guy shoplifting, I can say that the camera arrangement should be such that everywhere in the store is monitored - it was amazing watching the camera operator track the guy through multiple cameras - I don't think it would be easy to get away with shoplifting in most places with cameras...
I have to say that the errors in DF are not much of a surprise, given the serious errors in TDVC - in which the author pretty much cribs some far-fetched theories from 20+ year old books, reports them as fact, and... profits! The reason people here on/. are surprised about errors in digital fortress is that they don't have the background to see the errors in TDVC - and probably the same is true vice versa for religious scholars who didn't see any error in Digital Fortress...
I was waiting for someone to mention Ranger school - from personal experience, I can say that you adapt to severe sleep restriction and food deprivation after a few days, but your whole body does a down-shift at the same time to keep you going - you get dumber and start losing muscle mass and strength very quickly, and even though you can still keep going for weeks on end, by the end of Ranger school, most people can barely do one pushup, and I wonder how our mental function was - I know I saw a lot of people forget a lot of things... Thank God everything we could drop was tied to us...
Funny, but...
If you drink too much pure DHMO, you actually can die from it - Google hyopnatremia if you want all the gory details... Short version is that it blows your electrolyte balances, which blows the proper function of ion channels in your cells, which are important for things such as neural conduction, which is important for stuff like thinking (although most of the body can work just fine without nerves, thank you).
There are plenty of articles about people almost dying of hyponatremia if you use google news to search for the term, including some articles about dumb hazing stunts at a fraternity at SMU.
For those who won't make the effort of using Google, P53 is a key protein which plays a role in detecting genetic abnormalities and apoptosing the cell prior to division if they exist. Therefore, a cancerous cell with a muttation disabling P53 will naturally have a much greater rate of possibly tumor-enhancing mutations - the ones that are normally discovered and killed in your cells - most people have ~20 cancerous mutations per day which are discovered and destroyed, either by internal or external means, before growing to significant size - so if part of your body is no longer regulating those mutations, it stands to reason that tumors could rapidly acquire new mutations which would work by inhibiting or promoting pathways unaffected by whichever therapy is being employed to fight the cancer.
Or you could just read the posts that mattjb0100 is posting and not look like an idiot. And I hope my molecular medicine final is graded already in case I got any of the above wrong.
Just want to second the thought that there is a lot of damage to existing stem cell lines - here at (unnamed medical school with lots of NIH dollars), I had a class on therapeutic stem cell research, and according to the professor, most of the existing human stem cell lines have divided so many times by now that they have serious mutations, making them virtually unusable in some cases - good thing we can't ever make any more and still get government money...
No, more like your [etc] is in a car crash, gets a broken spine, and needs to be seen by the spinal fellow on call for trauma (only one per hosptial) - everyone else qualified to deal with that injury could be out of touch or perhaps out at a bar or having after dinner drinks - nobody you'd want working on your [etc]...
Or, people could just have the guts to tell other people to get off the phone if it's inappropriate, instead of spinelessly hiding behind their cell-phone lookalike pocket jammer...
What about people who need cell phones - would you want the attending physician for your wife / brother / etc. to be unreachable when they suddenly have a medical emergency because somebody in the theater doesn't have the guts to stand up and tell someone else to get off the phone, and relies on a pocket jammer instead? (not to mention volunteer firefighters, EMTs, or many other people in the public trust, who also need to be notified during emergencies)

Amen - I hope more people agree with you - that way there will still be plenty of practice for me if I end up doing a hand surgery fellowship!
Amusing (and mostly related story) - when Windows for Workgroups came out (95?), my school decided to put the whole school in a workgroup (4,000 students) for printer sharing / etc. and switch to exchange from a Unix-based mail system - they asked Microsoft for advice and basically were told - "That's a bigger system than anyone has implemented so far - let us know how it works!"
And for anyone who's curious, this 7 days v. 9 days statistic seems to be significant by chi-squared analysis (yes, I did waste the time to check)

Mods - look for troll-bait inside of parent post.
You missed the point -

Semantics, maybe, but not an unimportant distinction.
Maybe this is a new marketing technique -
1. have one of your "users" post some ridiculously large file
2. survive the slashdotting
3. profit!!!

Minor correction on the O2 Sat monitor:
It works by shining a red light through the extremity and calculates O2 Sat based on absorption - oxygen carrying RBCs do not absorb the light, whereas deoxygenated RBCs do.
As a side note, this is what fools you with CO poisoning - hemoglobin bound by CO also does not absorb red light - same reason that people with CO poisoning look fine.
