  1. Re: Astronomy, and general poor night-time resu on Laser Eye Surgery, Revisited 10 Years Later · · Score: 1

    Ophthalmologists will put an eyedrop on your eye to force the pupal to dialate. They can then look inside with a bright light and a lens to inspect the health of the retina and optic nerve.

  2. Re:some data on Fifteen Years After Autism Panic, a Plague of Measles Erupts · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's strange. If the coverage level is the same, why would there be 2-3x fewer cases in 2004-2008 when compared to 1990?

    There's a transient effect of the current infection rate on future rates. If you have the same immunization coverage, but fewer people are infected, the likelihood of a non-immunized person coming in contact with a carrier is lower, thus the present infection rate will be lower.

  3. Want to know how Bourbon is Made? on CmdrTaco Visits Pixar · · Score: 1

    If you're in Kentucky I can show you around the Buffalo Trace Distillery. We make bourbon and organic vodka from scratch.

  4. Re:Questions on Slashdot Code Update · · Score: 1

    It might just take some time. I only started moderating ~6 months ago and my user number is pretty low. (signed up 3 years ago I think) Another thing is moderation access kind of sneaks up on you. Sometimes I don't notice when I have mod access for a couple days. The only difference is there is a pull-down menu on every post to select your moderation selection. Just pay attention and I'm sure you'll see it soon.

  5. Seen it all before. on African animals to roam Australia ? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't this just lead to more of the same in Australia. IIRC there are already problems with ferrel cats, mice, cane beetles, cane toads(which were supposed to eat the beetles), and wild horses too I think. I guess a few zebras, lions and elephants couldn't hurt.

  6. I HAVE to ask on Ask 'They Might Be Giants' · · Score: 1

    I'm getting married on April 21, 2001. One of the first things my fiancee and I did together was to attend a TMBG concet in Madison. Since then we've been to two other shows of yours. We're both such fans that, even though we're getting married we keep both copies of any doubles of CDs.

    My question is: Will you play at our reception? We'd be honored to have you guys perform for all our friends and family.

    Thanks,
    Kevin Nowaczyk

  7. Octave! on Open Source Symbolic Math Program? · · Score: 1

    One of the grad students here at the UW Madison Chem. Engineering Dept. Is heading up this project. I've been told it's exactly like Matlab. You can find it at The Official Site
