How do we know that it's the marijuana that caused the psychosis?
How about the possibility that those that are prone to psychosis also have either an addictive personality disorder that gives them a compulsion to try known illicit substances? I bet most of these people smoke cigarettes as well. I am a physician. I know the psychotics I treat in my practice (thankfully not many) almost universally smoke cigarettes. Much more frequently than smoke marijuana and drink alcohol combined.
Andoid phones are both good enough and cheap enough. Apple will now have to compete on price, which is somewhere Apple is just starting to get good at.
It's a win-win for consumers. And I say that as an ardent iPhone and desktop Linux and Mac user.
If it's going to devalue the US dollar and the Euro, go for it. That means that their value is going to decrease against the Chinese currency and other eastern european, asian, and south american currencies. Increasing exports from the US and Eurozone countries. Which is exactly what the US and Europe need.
Besides, it'll never happen. It will mean that those Chinese investments that are all dollar-based will go up in a puff of smoke.
The problem is that most of the best surgeons are in their 40s or higher.
This is because the younger ones don't get the sheer number of cases required to be a great proceduralist. Why not? Well, it's mostly because they're required to go off shift after 24 hours, or 12 hours if they're on for a 24 hour shift the next day, etc. Who scrubs in on those cases? Well, the hospitals are hiring more physicians assistants to take up the load.
This is what the director of surgery at a major New York City teaching hospital told me earlier today.
The only one in that list that even raises an eyebrow is Russia.
As for half of the countries that gained global influence during recent times, that's just a veiled reference to the "BRIC" countries: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Yes, two of the four BRIC countries aren't attending. But it's not like they're a statistical sample.
Physicians get to charge what they do because if they charged less they'd get so much business that they couldn't rest.
You lower reimbursement and two things will happen: 1. Some of the best and brightest are less likely to go into medicine. (Yes, people do go into medicine for the money sometimes).
2. Physicians are likely to retire earlier, as it's just not worth the hassle to keep up with the field and constantly risk getting sued, just to get paid less.
I know that at least three MDs I work with are going to retire in the next year or so. These are guys that said just two years ago that they'll work until they die of exhaustion.
I suppose you can build more medical schools and lower the barrier of entry into medicine. Maybe take people with B-/C+ averages. I'm not sure if I want to use them as my physician, but hey, any port in a storm.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is probably what you're looking for. That being said, it not for any length of time and has very serious risks. Much safer to be intubated and put on a ventilator for a couple weeks.
This is coming from a Ubuntu (Gnome) user, so please blast away:
KDE needs to be heavily customized to make it usable for the Joe Public end users. Which is fine. That's what distributions do. The thing is, each distribution does it different, so the user experience with KDE can vary greatly depending on which distro he installs.
If Google can get it working now, it doesn't matter if the standards change over the next 12 years. Your data will be on a Google server, and the WebOS applications can be updated to support the standards over the next 12 years seamlessly (compared to other OSs, anyway).
Heck, Microsoft Office document formats just became a standard earlier this year, and they've been used for over a decade now without too much of a problem.
We won't really know until we can detect earth mass planets, but from what I've been seeing, I believe that our planet is the equivalent of hitting the galactic jackpot.
Specifically, our huge moon. The impact that did that must of created a sort of 'second stirring', resulting in a climate different than that of Venus and Mars.
Moons don't seem to be too rare. Heck, Mars has a couple of them.
Before we discount life on other earth-sized planets, let us at least have the ability to detect other earth-sized planets.
The question is, why hasn't the open source community rallied around an open source store for Windows or OSX? Something like Synaptic with the concept of repositories and automated dependency resolution.
I hope that they do in the near future. Bonus points if installing any open source app from a website gives the option of installing the open source app store.
Mind you, the app store doesn't even need to be opensource. Ubuntu's synaptic has binary-only packages for flash. Wouldn't Adobe love to have everyone update to the latest version within days of a flash update coming out?
I would buy7 some blu ray movies...if I could reliably rip them to store on a hard drive. I'm in the process of putting together a XBMC or MythTV style media center. Why would I want to have to shuffle around discs when I can control everything with the remote control?
Are they going to lose some money to people who rip DVDs and return them to the library? Sure, but they already lose those people with the entire DVD format. There's so much more money to be gained by just opening up the encryption and letting people build (or buy) the media tanks.
I still buy CDs because of the flexibility and control: I can convert it to any format with ease, but if (legal) downloadable content was DRM free then I would not buy CDs either. I would rather maintain a reliable NAS vault of music than manage a collection of fragile plastic discs.
Buy the CDs. Rip them and store them on the NAS. (Or buy the.mp3s on amazon.com.)
There's no reason now to keep shuffling through CDs except to take to a friend's house (or if your car doesn't have an mp3 player connection and you don't want to deal with the quality degredation associated with those tape translators or such).
A parallel is saying "I'm American" - While not technically correct, this is understood in the vernacular to mean "I'm a citizen of the United States." Canadians like me have to say "I'm Canadian" even though I live in the Americas. It's the understood vernacular.
The other option is that if you don't have a good video complement at your local library, ask if they take donations.
Many will (baring porn), and maybe you can jumpstart the local library collection. I give many of my old movies to the library and encourage everyone else to do the same.

Apple missed the boat. Agreed.
Andoid phones are both good enough and cheap enough. Apple will now have to compete on price, which is somewhere Apple is just starting to get good at.

Not really. All you have to do to remove all pain and suffering is to remove all life from the planet.

Yes. I love the awesome bar as well. I just wish there was some way to let the general public know how awesome the awesome bar was.
Now I'm not in marketing, but maybe if we started calling it the Really Really Good bar?
err... Or you can just google for the answer...
The first result is Wolfram alpha.
Where, if you put in the integral, you can pick out the answer: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integral+of+(4+sin+x)%2Fx

Well, the real problem is supply and demand.

Depends. Window or aisle seat?
Probably. But who cares?

Anyone know if IE 6 will run on wine? If so, it should be (relatively) simple to run on a compilation of wine that runs on Windows 7.

Just remember to backup your vault. ;-)

I'm Brazilian, you insensitive clod!
Sita Sings The Blues has an internet-only publication, and is listed. This sounds like more of a non-story.
The name is ugly. Doesn't flow naturally unless you saw words like Libre often. Give it a good name and people will go to it.
I have no idea? Really. Before local rental shops, videos just didn't exist.
The other option is that if you don't have a good video complement at your local library, ask if they take donations.
Many will (baring porn), and maybe you can jumpstart the local library collection. I give many of my old movies to the library and encourage everyone else to do the same.
Or, of course, the website can just track the IP addresses that are accessing the site.
