A regulation-free medical industry is one where you get loads of useless homoeopathic and similar remedies, and there is no guarantee that they will work as described or be safe.
It's still a lot harder to read something like (plus 7 (minus 4 5) (some-function (* my-var 3))) than to read 7 + (4 - 5) + some_function(3 * my_var)...
especially if the lisp code is not a well formed expression.
This is a variation on the whole "a digital file is just a number, and you can't copyright a number" rhetoric. A mathematical proof is a description of something that already exists. It's a discovery. An API is an invention. It's something that did not exist until someone created it, like a song, book, or movie.

I did bump hunting for my PhD in particles a decade and a half ago. This is the way life goes -- you get a signal that almost has enough significance to really believe -- then it collapses when you pile in more data. If a journal is filled with papers each having a single p=0.05 result, then one out of 20 of them is reasonably expected to be wrong!
No. alpha is the probability of getting a significant result under H0. P(significant|H0). it does not give you P(right|significant).
nah, just do it like the russians. set them free in international water to find their way home... without supplies or compass.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy_in_Somalia "In early May 2011, Russian special forces retook a Russian oil tanker that had been hijacked by 11 pirates. One died in the assault, and a week later Russian military official reported that the remainder were freed due to weaknesses in international law but died before reaching the Somali coast. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had announced the day the ship was retaken that "We'll have to do what our forefathers did when they met the pirates" until a suitable way of prosecuting them was available."
One advantage of the stallment on the PC side of things induced by the consoles, the 3d hardware does not make such huge jumps anymore than it used to 7 years ago.
you gotta be kiding me. what you are touting as the solution is actually a big part of the problem.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_subsidy " Agricultural subsidies depress world prices and mean that unsubsidised developing-country farmers cannot compete; and the effects on poverty are particularly negative when subsidies are provided for crops that are also grown in developing countries since developing-country farmers must then compete directly with subsidised developed-country farmers, for example in cotton and sugar[28]. The IFPRI has estimated in 2003 that the impact of subsidies costs developing countries $24Bn in lost incomes going to agricultural and agro-industrial production; and more than $40Bn is displaced from net agricultural exports["

An open review process where you have two categories of reviewers.
one category is professionell, the other laymen or scientists from other fields...
make all comments and critique open so a reader can form their own opinion on the validity of the study. i think especially the critique of scientists in other fields could yield interesting methodological and "ideological" results.
most scientists are state employed anyway and should be remotely interested in their fields so it might work.
WP7 only runs on ARM, so Intel doesn't have a lot to lose in saying Android would have been a better bet.
Android is also currently ARM only, but by basing it on the Dalvik VM, Google are at least ensuring that all existing (non-native) apps could run on future Android phones utilizing a different processor.
You mean like:
"The Microsoft.NET Compact Framework is a hardware-independent environment that supports building and running managed applications on resource-constrained computing devices."

blizzard did not want the title "World of Starcraft" be associated with a product they dont have a real influence in. why should they allow such a title and then realize in 5-10 years that they want to make a new mmorpg with the same title but google searches will return links to the old sc2 mod. it's about trademark and not copyrights.
Slashdot Mirror
take a look at http://www.websharper.com/
No, even the summary states that it is only required if you want to get the Windows 8 logo on the product.
And what brand-name laptops not made by Apple will be sold without the Windows logo?
lenovo for example.

What a great advantage that is.
"...Silverlight only really works under Windows" and mac. for mobile you should implement a new ui anyway and you can do it in monodroid/monotouch.
Just give it a dx11 compatible gpu and i dont care. we need dx11 gpus on the consoles, so pc games are no longer hold back by console development.

Just don't nest folds because you are to lazy to make higher order functions of them. The most efficient obfuscation mechanism i have ever seen ;)
I can recommend Ryles Concept of mind: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Concept_of_Mind http://www.scribd.com/doc/7003453/Gilbert-Ryle-The-Concept-of-Mind
Late Wittgensteins philosophical investigations or Quine, especially his: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/On_What_There_Is is also brilliant, and makes this confusions go away.
The problem is that you only hear non quietistic solutions since the quietistics ones are, well, quiet :)
