I think we need new English words to represent these concepts more concisely: an adjective for "not authorized to speak publicly on the matter", and a verb for "confirmed under condition of anonymity".
edit: I also pay a premium for housing (that I could use toward a car) so that it doesn't bother me. you could do the same (by selling the car and living somewhere where it's more convenient with bus/tram/subway/bike/boat/skates), but instead you choose to complain... ugh.
It's always the uppity Swiss complaining about everything.
I still can't believe you live in CH and compare yourself to a "slave getting the whip"... you really need to travel (live somewhere else) much more often.
2. what country do you live in? I've lived in Frankfurt and Stockholm and the public transport is extremely useful and almost always on time.
3. the EU is socialistic and if you don't like it, move to America where you don't have any social programs/systems... that way you can drive everywhere you go... even to the mailbox to receive your daily mail.
I have a house with incredible interior design and sparsely filled with designer furniture. Does that make me gay... I hope not? I hope not, maybe I should tell me wife. It just means that I have a distinct appreciation for something that you can't comprehend (it has a few pieces by Eames and Jacobson with a few LC2s and LC4s mixed in... for those interested).
I guess I can understand the "I'm so smart" aspect of having bookshelves full of books in one's flat.
I can understand having large collections of music as well... especially when entertaining
But I've never understood why people collect movies? What does that really say about someone? You can't really entertain with them in the background like one can with music. I mean they can't even be used as a reference resource like a book can. I usually just think of it as a huge waste of money or it's for people that just have to collect stuff.
which I don't think one can do... because it's either widespread or not... can that person at least provide a percentage? I'm mean... even if a few 1000 machines have problems it's still a negligible percentage. And, how would this value compare to the normal failure rate from other manufacturers? I don't know, and I can't really compare it, because this fantastic article doesn't provide any information for gauging what "very widespread" means. It's just another anti-Apple article.
why do I even read/. anymore... I must be addicted to the internet in an unhealthy manner:(
Every European kitchen I've cooked in had a gram scale (they're less the 10€ for an inexpensive model and 30€ for a decent one.) I don't understand how I got by living in the US without one... I'm never giving it up now.
Especially with baking, it's really not optional.
As a microbiologist, I haven't anyone reputable suggest that H1N1/09 was engineered. Sounds like tin-foil hat material to me. And I wouldn't trust an MD/DO to speculate about the evolutionary origin of a virus.
running away?
better opportunities over here. if I didn't leave (and contribute to the brain drain), nothing would ever change because they'd be no selective pressure on the government to change.
I have been to NYC and lived in Boston... and that's why I know this is NOT implementable. But, in all seriousness, outside of the Northeast Corridor, mass/public transit is extremely lacking (see DFW Metro region for example.)
In addition, people over here just wouldn't put up with that level of intrusion (even after the Madrid bombings.)
Thankfully the US doesn't have (m)any widely-used metro systems. How about implementing this on a bus as well... lol
Europe will never go for this, and this is another reason that I have no interest in returning to the states.
ugh... when will Americans actually actively protest against something.
that's kinda slow to be considered 4G isn't it. Seems more like Turbo3G, but I digress.
Download Really fast. CLEAR 4G is four times faster than 3G, with average download speeds of 3 to 6 Mbps and bursts over 10 Mbps*. So make your downtime up time.
Mr. Anderson, what good is 4G connectivity if there's no way to connect it?
Seriously, the limit isn't the mobile devices - it's easy to build a $500 device with better b/w. It's much harder to upgrade tens of billions of dollars of infrastructure to support it. Especially when most* of the country has no data service whatsoever.
I hope not. I'm an American citizen, did a PhD in the US, and moved to Sweden to work because I was tired of the whitehouse administration. I now run a research group in Germany, but I guess that's only because I am a spy... according to the GP.
this comment is idiotic. Running two groups (one in the West and one in China) is becoming commonplace. Although this seems to be happening mostly in Singapore (due to English), more than in Beijing or Shanghai.
A logical response would be to take the information at face value, using that to investigate further, rather than to simply blow it off because you don't recognize the credentials of the parties involved in the research.
If I were a biochemist that's what I would do. Unfortunately I'm just a coder, so I have to depend on others to examine this and determine its accuracy.
You're not acutely aware of the signal-to-noise problem in the biological sciences.

two full adults and it was totally functional. much more functional than this.

1. this is bigger issue than you.
2. what country do you live in? I've lived in Frankfurt and Stockholm and the public transport is extremely useful and almost always on time.
3. the EU is socialistic and if you don't like it, move to America where you don't have any social programs/systems ... that way you can drive everywhere you go ... even to the mailbox to receive your daily mail.
it's nice to see people not only get upset about something once in a while, but to actually vote against it as well. The greens had double digit gains here in German elections. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg_state_election,_2011

How often do you re-watch / re-read anything?

no laptops / mobile phones in the classroom. I teach biochem and if someone could suggest why they should be allowed, I'd love to hear it.

Who gets only 2 weeks of vacation? We usually have 8 weeks. The workaholics only take 6 though.
Do you mean like the absence of mandatory shoe removal and full-body scanners during flight? Italy is actually ditching the full-body scanner because they're slow, ineffective and expensive. http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-news/italy-to-abandon-airport-body-scanners-20100924-15pgu.html lol

what do you mean? we already have active 4G service in Stockholm. http://www.telia4g.se/om-4g
as an aside, I have no interest in the iPad until it has 4G connectivity. What is up with that?
