The author does not actually have any test data on the soccer players. He just used the rates of parasite infections in the countries competing and correlates them with World Cup wins.
A proper study would test the players themselves. This was not done. Some big assumptions are made instead.
And then the ticket sellers (Ticketmaster et al) could charge a "transfer fee" to make a little "extra" money on the transaction. Does this solve the problem?
Please stop asking me to try Google Chrome. You know good and well that I'm using a PPC machine. It even says so when I click the "try Google Chrome" link. Assholes.
Mis-read the article. I'm not sure what Daishin Seiki actually does, looks like a prototype shop. They use hyperMill (tm) from Open Mind Technologies http://www.openmind-tech.com/.
So it is basically Daishin Seiki's demo of what they are capable of with a Deckel-Maho (German) machine and hyperMill (US)CAM software.
If you look closely in the video, you'll see Deckel-Maho on the machine. It is a German machine. Seki is providing the CAM software. At most, Seki is providing the control, but it looks like Siemens is the default control for Deckel-Maho.
I'm non-military, but just a guess: US Army choppers are named after native American Indian tribes: Apache, Kiowa, Chinook, Iroquois, etc. There are some exceptions, but that is the tradition.
My guess is the call sign for the helicopters were based on Indians, and the guys on the ground had other names. I wouldn't read too much into call signs, I'm sure they change often to keep the enemy confused, yet distinct enough that the guys calling the choppers know that "Crazyhorse = famous Indian chief = apache gunship overhead" and likewise the pilots know that "bushmaster = our guys on the ground"
Does this affect GPS for a short time? I understand that the USAF (or whoever runs it) will correct the system, but how quickly does this occur? Would it affect a JDAM bomb in flight, for example?
There are regulations on amounts of tritium that can be used in such devices (in the US). I believe it would be the NRC. If I recall, they specifically prohibit the amounts in said keychains, because they are considered trivial and unimportant devices. An exit sign, illuminated by tritium would not be considered trivial or unimportant, depending on the nature of its installation. Apparently the rules are different in the UK. I have a similar keychain, that I purchased from a vendor in the UK. How United Nuclear gets around it, I don't know. I assume the rules are subject to interpretation to some extent.
In the US, there is a large market for tritium gun-sights and compass illumination.
An aside: as a machinist, I loathe the term "billet aluminum". Way overused and very incorrect. But hey, some people pay a lot of $$$ for "billet aluminum"
What was it PT Barnum supposedly said about suckers?
Note what they say at the bottom: IS signals can easily be transferred via Ethernet-spec connection hardware (8P8C plugs and jacks, and Cat-5e and above cabling).
As someone who lived in a rural area 20-30 years ago, I can say that it wasn't always this way. Water in the underground lines, lack of dial tone, inability to dial out, etc. I've lived in a town for the last 10 years, and yes, reliability has gotten better, but your argument is flawed.
Just because the current tech isn't yet as reliable, doesn't mean it will always be this way. I do understand that an IP based network is inherently more complex, but it doesn't mean it can't be made more reliable.
Around here (Alabama) this would be classified as a motor driven cycle. A motorcycle has greater than 150cc displacement. A motor driven cycle has 150cc or less engine size. Weight is a factor as well. A motor driven cycle must weigh less than 200 lbs. They are prohibited from interstate travel. I believe this classification is in other states as well.
In the USA, a moped has pedals and can be propelled like a bicycle. However, a moped also meets the criteria for a motor driven cycle.
Re: radial. I don't think you can do the 180 degree thing. Radials have odd numbers of cylinders, unless you stack two or more together. Cumbersome shape for a car. They don't use them in new airplane designs for a reason (Turboprop).
I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why a relatively free market works so well for food, water, shelter, clothing, and heat (all basic human needs that are a much higher priority to one's continued existence) but fails for healthcare.
one word: Insurance.
Insurance doesn't cover your food, clothing, water, heat, shelter (though you can get insurance for shelter). Insurance is designed for rare events, like your shelter burning down, not for routine medical/health needs.
It isn't about how fast we can get it out of the ground, it is how much energy is expended on extracting the oil. As the amount of energy spent extracting the oil goes up, the viability of oil as an energy source goes down.

From you: I have not, but I assume they put something in front of her and she clicked through it.
This is what I want to know: Does clicking a link = signing a paper contract.
Did she ever sign something, with a pen and her written signature? Or was it a click box saying yes?
If it is the latter, then I hope that the court doesn't consider that signing.
Yes, it is operator error that missed the reading. What I suggest is and independent mechanism to confirm dosage. Around my lab, we do x-ray on materials samples (non-medical equipment, mind you). The machine operator is required to wear a film badge. It seems to me, that when you are intentionally dosing humans with radiation, an independent mechanism should be in place to confirm exposure, and tests should be done prior to using new programs or techniques that are out of normal operating parameters.
You cannot sense radiation until it is too late. Therefore, give the patient a dosimeter (film badge or something of like functionality) to confirm exposure. To me this should be basic radiation safety.
I believe that routine operation of the equipment leads to complacency and a cavalier attitude. I handle chemicals on a routine basis, and I know when I'm being cavalier with them, but I'm usually the only one in immediate danger.
while I'm guilty of thinking, let me expound a little more. Thermite is trivially easy to make from steel wool and finely divided aluminum (powder). The aluminum can be produced with a labor intensive process called filing or sanding. The process can be mechanized. The ignition process is slightly more difficult that the base materials. However, in the US, fireworks are commonly available and thus provide an easy source for raw materials. The dedicated attackers would not care about getting caught. One person would be an annoyance and rude awakening. Ten people could take out a town of 50,000 people (back of the envelope calculations). The process could use the cell network to synchronize attacks, then take out the very network itself with the same process. To me the fact that something like this hasn't happened yet amazes me. Around here (a town of ~50,000) substations are secured with chain link fence. There is high voltage present within the perimeter, but a knowledgeable person would do well to avoid the HV. One day to place charges. Then activate.
The thing is, most of us like our power. The system is vulnerable to off grid radical activists. Even with green power, the grid is useful as a "storage" medium (right?, technically it is a distribution system). We here all like our Internet, lights, HVAC, entertainment systems, hospitals, etc, etc. So, who would target the electrical grid?

Granted, they appear to be multi-national.

I'm lost as to why Daishin Seki is getting credit here, other than a poor write up on someone's blog and a cool demo.
And on a personal note, I need to get my reading comprehension checked, or check my meds...

But its got a billet aluminum front face!

I won't lie, most of this is over my head, I'm no EE. I was just using "wiki goodness" to dispute your "wiki goodness".
Am I surprised that wikipedia might be wrong? No.
Well, I dispute your argument with wiki goodness:

Care to correct wikipedia?
at least fiber tolerates water?
power has become more reliable in the rural areas as well.
I expect most tech to become more reliable over time. To use a car analogy for example: Automobiles. More complex, yet more reliable.
As someone who lived in a rural area 20-30 years ago, I can say that it wasn't always this way. Water in the underground lines, lack of dial tone, inability to dial out, etc. I've lived in a town for the last 10 years, and yes, reliability has gotten better, but your argument is flawed.

Porsche, Subaru. Both use opposed boxers.

Diminishing returns and all that.

Wow, this is a terrible blow for Microsoft. This might make people think that they produce unreliable and shoddy products!
There, fixed that for you.

Would a film badge provide a "check" to determine if the dosage is correct? One x-ray overdose is bad enough, over 200 is really uncool.
We were taught to share. Guess those chickens came home to roost eh?
