This is neither here not there. It's probably the most moderate result we could have asked for. It doesn't swing to far one way and give the impression that the judge is being biased (a la the Microsoft case), but doesn't give SCO too much either, and remains in the "no you show first mode".
Here in NZ, everyone is upset because we missed out on a fair trade agreement with the States, no one really expects one, but every once in a while someone pops up and says there's one around the corner. I tell you what though, with those kind of agreements required, I feel better off not having one. Let alone all the sucking up Aussie has had to do to get it.
We did an experiment in biochem in first year using cyanide. The antidote for cyanide poisioning is amyl nitrate, and we kept some on site in case someone accidentally took some.
Strangely enough, the stuff kept disappearing, which the staff weren't to happy about. Then someone did the maths and realised the concentrations of cyanide were so weak, that to get sick, the people would have to drink every vial of cyanide solution in the lab, and it still wouldn't be a serious case!
You realise resolution has a lot to do with resolving power, which in turn has a lot to do with optics.
In this context it refers to how well you can tell two pieces of information apart at a distance (there's probably a correct definition, but I can't be bothered finding it).
dictionary.com: 6. The fineness of detail that can be distinguished in an image, as on a video display terminal.
Like a lot of other terms, the original meaning has been taken by computers and placed somewhat out of the context it was originally used for.
Yeah, GIMP for Windows isn't dual monitor friendly though. It's a real pain in the ass, cause I have my notebook monitor and a CRT. I had to swap everything around so that GIMP was on my primary monitor and didn't spawn windows in the middle of nowhere.
(IANABS - Biostatistian). Those statistics prove nothing. Using them in an argument like that is inherently dangerous, as there could be all sorts of variables impacting on the results.
Prehaps Brits in general tend to get more stomach cancer because of diet, genetic predisposition, environment, whatever. Or maybe it's the other way around. Either direction will be likely to affect 5 yr survival rates. What if they tend to get a more aggressive form of cancer, due to the factors I listed above?
Those are just three ideas I pulled off the top of my head which could affect the result through no fault of the NHS.
As for your statement from the economist, I'm not convinced either. Unless I see it somewhere health related instead of in an economics related forum, I'm going to be very skeptical.
Huh? All I can see is that you started a web site 2 months ago, got bored and gave up. Also, I hope like hell you don't do any graphic design for money, because slashdot's website is pretty compared to yours.
It's now been loading for several minutes, so I'm giving up without learning a little of your background.

I'm not making any judgements on whether it's an april fools joke either.
A fair ruling IMHO.
Ohh. New acronym. IISAMAMHIGTE. Saves a bit of typing.

I believe so, Here, Here, Here and Here

Yes, but how many notebooks have > 1 CD-Drive? Don't forget mobile users, I'm one of them.

In Soviet Russia - Wait, I don't get the joke. Can someone please explain it to me? Then I can do the joke and get a +5 Funny for it.

You're welcome lieutenant asshole.
Some would argue that the earth is flat, but you don't go around believing them now do you?

Oh yeah, and that worked really well didn't it?
Is that the new Slashdot tagline?
