I would also argue sports players are constantly practicing (or at least they should). Won't say they don't get overpaid because I agree they do. Except some people like to watch them and pay for it. Now I've never seen anyone go "Hey did you watch that great court case!"
"Mr Crew has billed Microsoft just over $3,000 an hour for his own work, as well as more than $2,000 an hour for other lawyers on his team. "
What lawyer is worth even $200/hr (more on par on normal) much less several thousand dollars per hour. Cause I'm sure no one else could have done Mr. Crew's job just as well for less. definately something wrong if that was approved for lawyer fees after Microsoft lost. (but hey who didn't know that there was something wrong with the legal system in the States)
Actually the Hafnium they are discussing is a nuclear isomer. Basically its gotten energy stored from neutrons that have hit it while being used in control rods in a nuclear reactor. The problem with the nuclear isomer is that it doesn't like to give up that energy thats been stored at any rate thats useful.
The idea Collins is trying to say is that we can blast it with XRay's and look the amount of neutrons being released is increased slightly over the background radiation.
Well, apparently this nuclear isomer has less energy than the usual fissable materials. Then you take into account this nuclear isomer isn't found naturally. So now you have to purify Hafnium, then blast it with neutrons to get your desired nuclear isomer. All for something that really doesn't have much use besides its safer to handle than fissable fuel. Really to use it for anything beyond a weapon doesn't sound to feasible from reading the article.
Sure, except for the little issue that the hafnium that is with zirconium isn't the nuclear isomer they are discussing. Extraction of hafnium from zirconium is already a pain enough but then you have to use neutron irradiation to create the necessary isomer. If you can do the necessary neutron irradiation, why can't you just enrich your fuel for nuclear weapons?
Better solution I would say to setup a simple electrical connection that is connected when the liquid is above certain level. Maybe a small amplifier to better detect the signal but nothing too fancy really.
Not that the problems were tough to figure out how to solve. It was more implementing of what mainly was a bunch of geometry problems takes real long in comparison to most other types.
Either way they make money off both. So they are kinda like Apple not caring as much about marketshare as long as they keep on making money (though marketshare is nice). Kinda like how they supposedly made more than Sony did back with PSX vs N64 (Nintendo was charging a premium then and not sure if that statement is truely valid since haven't totaled up their profits on both).
Sounds like it was fun to develop. Hehe now some people need to code lots of apps for it like P2P;)
And so how long before someone ask can the OS be used for a beowolf cluster?

Working with ADHD?
·
· Score: 1
Now I'm afraid a lot of people are misdiagonosed with ADHD because their mom has heard of it and swears it must be that without knowing what it really is. I won't try explaining what it is since I'm sure you know in a nutshell that certain parts of the brain are underperforming and it can be diagonosed with either a PET scan of fMRI(no one has gone to much trouble to do anything about finding how it works though to make it into a good diagonose since it is more expensive to do those scans than to just take ritalin). Best way I say to diagonose for it is check the effects of caffiene on someone. If it relaxes them they are probably ADHD and if it stimulates them hehe well they definately don't have ADHD (give me a tripple expresso and it doesn't do a thing for me else than help me focus and hey even goto sleep).
Ritalin works great, my advice though is to take it only when you need it. Your body builds up a tolerance to the stuff so you always need higher doses though if you go off it your tolerance reduces. Back in High School, Middle School, and Elementary School, I kinda needed to take it regularly (won't talk about how HS isn't structured well for learning either). Also its not nice when you build up such a high tolerance you encounter withdrawal effects as you come off (its also not nice to take too much but that was due to one time I was so busy doing something forgetting I had already taken one earlier). Now in college I find the 5mg tablets are all I need since I take it only when I need it and I can make a supposed 2 month supply of 60 tablets last a year (which is nice depending on the state you are in can require different amounts of paperwork thats a pain in the ass). One of these days due to the pain of paperwork I will make sure they do the same thing for cigarettes since the only reason ritalin has that much paperwork is due to it being a narcotic. In comparison to cigarette its not addictive at all (even heroin is believed to be less addictive than nicotine but oh well).
Other times basically what I do is drink caffiene. Doesn't work nearly as well as ritalin, but it does stimulate the correct parts quite well.
Now for the good parts of ADHD. Not sure if you have heard of hyperfocus. Its an ability if you are truly ADHD that you will have (it doesn't work as well while you are on ritalin). Its the ability to focus straight into whatever you love and ignore everything else in the world. For me its always been something computer based or math based. In a hyperfocus, I've found I can easily outperform most people much faster than normal (by the way a little bit of alcohol I find aids with it and has helped me wipe out my friends in console FPS when we are drinking with a score of like 20-1-0-0 in about one to two minutes(helps that they perform worse of course also:-P)) If you have it you probably can figure out what you have it in. Its normally related to being very narrowminded on interests since you can't focus on anything really not in your interests (which is why some people think ADHD is not real since this sounds normal). So thats the one good thing I can think of at this moment.
Human cells can be made 'immortal' through several various cancer genes. The rb gene is just a growth control gene in regulating the cell phases from G1 to S. An example of another gene that can be altered for the same effect is the Ras gene. But one thing you need to keep in mind in stem cells they are already 'immortal' plus they want to keep stem cells as normal as possible. That is one of the largest problems with using cancerous cells is due to they are no longer normal but they do grow quite nicely. Anyways a major part of a cell being immortal is to have those nice telomerase genes be activated since that is what eventually kills non-stem cells (after every time you copy DNA you lose like 50 bases or so and the telomerase just keeps attaching them on after every time you copy but non-stem cells don't have telomerase(unless you are cancer)).
