It takes over 30 times less resources (money, enregy, water etc) to do 1 kg of wheat, corn, rice, soya or similar than it takes to produce 1 kg of meaat.
Humans "need" meat? Sure. Most Indians aren't humans then? And i am not alive neither, due to being a veg all my life... Switch to vegetarism and feel more energical that after earing lab grown meat substitutes!
i was about 2 days old and fluctuating above me. i can't check whether the place (room) etc are real because i am phiysically very far from where it was.
but itself it felt like the other times i was about to die.
If the infos of that "complete" 2 minutes medical checkup consists only of that kind of info (basic heart, blood, temperature and sugar level readings etc) the crew should already know how to do that.
So all they need is a phone. So the equipment they need is already on board.
"The technology is not cheap - it costs about $50,000 - but the long-term savings for an airline could be enormous. "
Right...
"On average one plane a day has to make an unscheduled landing somewhere around the world because a passenger has fallen ill and requires medical treatment."
We have thousands of flight companies. And most of them have at least a hundred planes. "Airlines want to keep costs to a minimum." One landing for a medical emergency costs 50 - 100 000;
So, putting a 50 000 $ equipment for the hundreds of planes of the hundreds of companies because of 1 landing daily for all the airlines... How big savings can it make?
I can imagine only companies of the size of British Airways being interested in this technology, and even those on the intercontinental flights only, and on the new planes only.
Then, in case the 2 minute online checkup shows the patient is ok but the online analysis goes wrong, will they be blaming a fallen internet connection, technical fault, or generally who will have the responsability for the analysis, the doctor or airline or the crew?
i havent been looking for _those_ clones, since i use mostly macs, and am confident with the standard themes i find for RH distro when i am in linux. they don't look like aqua but cares, i normally use linux for working on it, not for playing with guis.
i _do_ care what it looks like but not essentially. as long as it doesn't look like any M$-product i'm confident.
besides.. one more luna-clone - but for macs: http://homepage.mac.com/max_08/themes/macosxp.htm some might like that; i guess it's just me who hates anything that looks like xp.
In italy in all the means (tv, newspapers etc; an exmple here: http://www.repubblica.it/online/scienza_e_tecnolog ia/embrione/clonaid/clonaid.html ) they are tellling that this case was in America. And here America = USA, i would like to shake the hournalists here.... !!! Some of them have read the word "Miami" in some papers, thus they are telling this kid was born in America... what 100 % of people here understand as = USA. >:O
For me it works ok. But then, hey i've used it in linux and sometimes even in win. i have it in mac also but i find no use for it as i have appleworks...:)
in italy someone (of the politicians) was hoping to get an email tax some years ago. i never saw more details of it, whether it should have been for who spent mail or who received it. and they didnt even think how to apply it for some who dont use italian email providers. fortunately THAT stupid tax never came true!!!
i have a bad vision, thus having over -5,0 d lenses and a blurred vision _MUST_ be caused by the image compression. JPGs must be guilty for my vision. further proof? i didn't have eye glasses before jpgs were invented.
so jsut use uncompressed.pdfs and.bmps as web graphics to prevent young geeks from becoming any blinder... 8)
He's german or at least the.de suffix makes the article be on a german domain. but right, some more extra checkings on the grammar and sources for what he was saying would not hace been bad...
if you are pissing me off doing something, and i do exactly the same thing to pay it to you back, why would that be "out of mind" ? ookay spammer, you spam me, and once i got tired of getting 150 spams a day; if i find your email addys be sure you will be subscribed to every spam newsletter i ever find!!
Look at your parents. And you will have an estimate how you will look at that age, if you don't cure yourself more. Getting arthritis and being fatter are not 100% sure, e.g. my grandpa was 40-50% underweight when he died (and not for a disease!!). If you don't like the way your parents or grandparents look, do something to prevent you from looking like that. Move! Before it't too late
I notice they exist only if i have to use IE ( under 5 % of surfing time). In Chimera (Mozilla, Omniweb etc) there are no such things as unrequested pop-ups, banners etc. Just say no to Explorer. =)
I have tried the "ergonomic" keybarods and those were a pain for me (20+ y, and rheumatic tendence, if it changes anything). the keys are too far for me.
On the other hand, my bf can hardly manage to type on my laptops. the keys are too close to each other for him.
i am 16 - 20 hours a day at my computer, and have no pain. or, no pain since i use just the ibook keyboard. but i know that for many people it's not probably so comfortable; if you have big hands or fat fingers, you may want a bit bigger keyboard.
i saw a month ago a really small keyboard, and was thikning that it would do for me.
but where are the different sized keyboards? s, m and l.
if you move your fingers and hands how they move naturally, thus have a right sized keyboard, that'd resolve something.

Not only the impaired. The image recognition test (gimpy) is not good for not-native english speakers either. I failed in gimpy because i didn't know a certain word.:(
Trying the test that was on the NY times article at the original test at http://www.captcha.net/cgi-bin/pix
I saw turtles. Turtles of which some were swimming. So i typed turtles. And i FAILED.
"Result of the Test: FAIL You entered the following word: turtles The possible words were: seashell shell shells seashells"
So, i notice this test does not take into the consideration the limits of second (or generally, non-native) language. English is not my first language and i had seen nowhere that turtles and shells are different?? i saw turtles and some turtles that were in the sea. Turtles.
Uh yea. I take proudly failing in this computer or human test!!! wohoo!!:D

I can't wait to get a complete 2-minute medical online checkup the next time i fly!!
Of course, I want those checkup results to have the normal 5 years validity B)
So, for the next flight reservation i'll ask for "a window seat, veggie meals and the check-up to do a commercial pilot please..."

Airlines want to reduce the costs, right.
... How big savings can it make?

Xplease!! No XP, i don't want anything like that.
:D
Why didn't they copy Aqua? Instead of trying to copy Luna that was already copied from Aqua.
Besides most commercal Linux distros look already too much like the Win distros anyway.
Aqua please
For me it works ok. :)
But then, hey i've used it in linux and sometimes even in win. i have it in mac also but i find no use for it as i have appleworks...
Internet is not USA.
What is Echelon doing by the way?? Are they telling now that there is no Echelon?
As not being in US, i don't like the idea of being spied nor by echelon nor by us, uk, any government at all.
What then? Seeing a copyrighted picture in a webpage illegally becomes persecutable?
so the old java pics that surf around the screen and you have to avoid hitting them while seeing a page? those are old but similar and just annoy.
i just wonder if i'm going to notice even those at all. i dont see popups or banners with chimera.. ^_^
in italy someone (of the politicians) was hoping to get an email tax some years ago. i never saw more details of it, whether it should have been for who spent mail or who received it. and they didnt even think how to apply it for some who dont use italian email providers. fortunately THAT stupid tax never came true!!!

why is that story posted here NOW?
it was published 6 december.
or it should have been in the museum section, not news.
M$ are afraid that after india government linux would be in indian universities and they'd loose a BILLION potential M$ users!!! :)
go for linux, go!!!

In Italy they have been selling airbags for motorcycles for many years already. I was thinking to get one for me about 5 years ago.
