I work with an AFM, and it's a very tempermental machine. The tips are SO delicate, if you look at them wrong, they break and are useless ($10 down the drain). They can only be used once.
It's a slow process finding the resonance frequency, using the slow piezos to move the tip to the near field, and slowly scanning the area. One of the advantages of AFM is that it can be done on completely wet samples.
There's another technology called NSOM. that does much the same thing. Many NSOMs are custom made. We use a Scanning Electron Microscope to check the tips we make to see if they are suitable. Tips are made by slowly stretching a glass wire inder high temperature until the break, giving you 2 NSOM tips.
A lot of JWZ's stuff probably came from Fark first anyway.
The only person time no one is "ripped off" is when the author him-herself is the submitter.
Also unveiled in Vista: a new interface with features including live preview in the task bar, which will allow users to see all applications as they are running.
In the sequel novel to "DO Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" it was explained that the original Roy Batty on whom the replicant was based had a genetic mutation that prevented him from experiencing fear, thus making him an excellent soldier and assassin.
Even though it was a pretty lousy book, I doubt I'm the only/.er that's read it.
I work in the field of dental research. (I work in a lab, so I never have to dig in anyone's mouth, ew).
The thing that really helps prevent cavities in your SALIVA. The bacteria in your mouth, streptococcus mutans, eats the sugar in your mouth. A byproduct of this is lactic acid, which breaks down the mineral in your enamel and dentin. Saliva acts as an acid buffer to prevent this. In addition there is a protein "web" called the pellicle layer which also protects teeth from acid and erosion.
Chewing gum stimulates saliva flow, which buffers the acid. Heck, chewing on plain old beeswax will help.

Traffic can be quite heavy at times, but you can almost always expect a reply from other users, if not Dr Rosset himself.

To the casual observer, anyway.
I block them becuase none of the sites I would be visiting at work are ad-driven.
No self-respecting science journal would be offering free ANYTHINGS in flashing colors.
I am in charge of the SEM on our campus, and we have people from physics over all the time, and last month we had a guy over who was making carbon nanotubes.
The ones I saw were made from Acetylene gas and ammonia. A tiny particle of Iron starts the process of tube formation. The carbon adheres to the base of the iron particle and builds up from there, the iron particle determining the diameter of the tube.
Reminded me of the smelly back snake fireworks I used to like as a kid. Except that they are a lot smaller. And don't stink. And don't need to be started with a match. And can do neat things.

I guess the Workprint will NEVER see the light of day again...
Well at least I was one of the lucky handful that saw it during its 2 week run at the Castro Theater in San Francisco in 1991.
from a group secretly funded by Microsoft who call themselves "OS X Veterans for Truth."
Pictures of Jane Fonda on her iMac will be forthcoming.
It's a fact that Internet Explorer is inferior to Firefox with its extensive collection of extensions and ability to support qualified web standards,
Why must he denigrate IE so? He sounds like such a fanboy.
I wonder if the guys who invented the CMOS will also get a prize.
Comparison and history of both types of chips.
Too bad the winners of American Idol will get more money and notoriety than these guys.

Neat stuff.
There's already a movie..

a feature call Quick tab which shows thumbnail view of all open tabs in a single window.
Sorry IE7. Omniweb beat you to that one.
Ah, the dreaded Fat Cow Disease.
I see the state of evolution education in the UK seems to parallel their state of dental hygiene. :)
"Urge coming soon?"
Did they just eat some undercooked chicken?

Wow. Sounds great! I'd LOVE to have the feature on my Mac.
My toliet has had Really Stinky Sh*t feeds for ages.
So that's what an intelligently designed life-form looks like.
So you'd deliberately and maliciously cause problems, just to prove you were on some imaginary moral high ground?
He wouldn't have to. Normal use of IE by others would do that nicely.
The stuff they seem to be able to do with images in CSI was done 20 years ago.
Anyone ever heard of an Esper Machine?
Hm. That might xplain why Karl Rove still has his job. :)

I hope someone manages to get Spellbound working with recent versions of Firefox.
I haven't found a spell checking extension that works as well.
