Yeah, something like that. I would not mind paying for news, but I think different perspectives are important, and it will be very expensive to subscribe to 5 or 10 different sites. I would pay $30 pr month if it gave me access to most MSM, then they need to find away to distribute my $30 among them, based on views. Should be possible, right?
Well.... maybe he was studying something he thought might work and got wiser, maybe not, I really don't know enough about American politics. But nevermind Bernie, I still don't get the general american opposition to public healthcare and education, no matter how rich you are it still makes sense. And it's fair, if you believe people are born equal and free that is.
You don't seem to have a problem with the government handing your money to big fat corporations. I don't think there is any doubt that American education and healthcare is great, if you can afford the good stuff But it's also very expensive when private company's get to charge whatever they want.
Educating and caring for poor people, will make it more likely that they will be able to care for themselves one day. Is that a far out point of view?
Bernie might be a bumbling imbecile, but communist?
What he seems to aim for is something like scandinavia, and I can tell you it's really not bad. I'm from Denmark, and we have free healthcare and education, we strive for a just soceity and to keep the planet habitable.... at least most of us do, I think. We still have filthy rich people with yachts and helicopters, if you work hard you can get what you want. Except guns - we believe law inforcement should have an advantage... stupid, I know.
Why does so many Americans reject the thought of soceity keeping the population healthy and educated? Is it because most Americans are religious, and believe if God gave you poor parents you must deserve it?
Anyway.... Your new president does not represent you well, he is incompetent, ignorant and a fool. And his sidekick Pence is a raving lunatic. I hope you do better next time, the world won't be the same without you. Bye now, take care......
No , as i said we should keep researching. But You kind put it out there that MOND and DM are on equal footing... and I just disagree. I think DM is a way better candidate for explainig observations than trying to tweak relativity to keep giving exact predictions, as it has done for a century, while also making it explain some of the observations that would be so much simpler to explain by a yet undiscovered family of particles. And then I don't find it hard to belive that theres stuff out there we are not able to detect at the moment.
True , but we know that every test of relativity has strengthened it, not even once have we gathered data that contradicts it. So we need to modify it in a way that doesn't mess with it's match on all those measurements. Thats hard. And I just think it's quite plausible that there are particles out there we are not yet equipped to detect, and there are many observations that can be explained by dark matter without disagreeing with relativity. But I agree we should not consider the case closed.
Probably because dark matter doesn't interact with itself. When normal matter hits other normal matter it will be slowed down and eventually the stuff gets bigger and bigger.
But dark matter doesnt hit anything, so even though it's gravitationally attracted to other dark matter particles they will fly right through each other.
Therefore, i think, it won't be concentrated enough to form black holes.
We do have all of that...
Skype was actually developed by a Dane and a Swede, but your ignorance is forgiven since you are american.
The original investigation was carried out by swedish police who found the ties to the crime in Denmark. A Swedish judge has decided that the evidence is strong enough for a trial in Denmark.
What he is accused for is a crime in both Sweden and Denmark and the offended part is a danish authority. The penalty is also similar in both countries so it makes sense the trial him in Denmark.
He does have the right to stay silent, but he also has the right to defend himself, and compared to the cost of the investigation i don't think a couple of policemens salary and some plane tickets are going to matter much.
Basically, my advice to people who are relatively savvy is not to bother with antivirus. Once antivirus detects anything, it's generally too late. AV can be useful for people who have _no_ clue, but they're bound to get infected anyway sooner or later.
Wrong , if the AV software reacts it's normally because it's actually doing it's job and preventing infection. One or two times a year NOD32 informs me of an infected file and i let it delete it.
At work i often get notifications from Trend Office Scan that a couple of files on some users computer have been infected,detected and deleted.
So in my experience AV software is mandatory..... even on my own machine, and i believe i know what i'm doing.
What i don't understand is the obsession with free..... nothing is free, really. I don't mind paying an unsubstantial amount of money for beeing protected against loss of data , and more important for me , the hassle and time involved in a format and réinstall.
It's not very scientific to take your own personal experience and expect the rest of the world to get the exact same results !
There is probably a very big variation in the quality of the CD's and DVD's out there !
When you bring ferromagnetic metal into an MRI the really important issue is mass. Even a 1.5T won't pull very hard on a small mass object.
But it will throw a pallet lifter around and hold so strongly that it's almost impossible to get loose. You will have to ramp down the magnet which will weaken the strength of the magnet(Bad , but not fatal).If there is a person in the scanner they will push the quench button - this is much worse for the magnet and very expensive since all the helium boils off and has to be replaced. And helium is very expensive !
But anyway.... i've been near 1.5T with an ordinary screwdriver and it's very strong - but not impossible to hold - i was not in the isocenter though, and i'm not certain i would be able to keep holding it there.
But small grains of magnetic material , like in a tattoo is generally not an issue.
I do.... and i bet i'm not alone. My primary function as an engineer is keeping MRI and CT scanners running , i work for a private company with 40 employees. So our total IT staf is 1 full time Administrator and me. I do support and administration in an office of 15 people besides my real job. A lot of firms have this size and don't have the resources to micromanage PC's.
Anyway... we are still on XP and not even beginning to consider Vista , but we might consider Redmonds next offer - by that time i guess we have to phase out XP... unfortunately !
Low field MRI are not tubes , they are open.
Actually i think most people would prefer half an hour in an open MRI to 10 min. in a hi-field.
Not just because of the tight space in the tube , but also the acoustic noise from the hi-field gradients are LOUD!
Why wouldn't they ?
In my experience the boxed cooler is always capable of keeping the CPU temp within spec at fairly high loads. The only reason for not using it would be noise - and in most modern PC's the graphics card will make to much noise for you to notice anyway.
Why do you accept this kind of sensorship in the US ?
And how did it start ?
Is it really the majority of US citizens who believe it does any good at all , or is there a wierd technical explanation to why we still have to live with this stupid "parental advisory" warning on the front of US CD's, and the beeps on American TV shows
I'm not trying to provoke any of you , and i believe most, if not all, readers of slashdot would prefer unsensored music and TV. I just don't understand the reasoning behind it !

No one has ever come up with a theory of Modified Gravity that can explain the data we have , but Dark Matter does. http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2013/01/18/why-the-universe-needs-dark-matter-and-not-mond-in-one-graph/

I'm glad somebody without a PhD took the time to explian in simple terms - now it actually makes sense !

The disk was seriously damaged !
Well ..... liquid helium is not a gas !

Nice post , thanks

Not all MRI are superconducting magnets , you can do most examinations on a low field MRI - it just takes longer.
It's just slow ..... thats it !
