    as long as your doing summary statistics you should suggest average, low, high and standard deviation

  6. Kinks on "Lifesaver Bottle" Filters Viruses Out of Water · · Score: 1

    You can stop the kinks in MSR filters by leaving a loop of tube before wrapping and stowing it. The tube will only kink at the junction if it's already been stresses. Resolving a stressed tube on an MSR is easy. Just remove the tube and cut off 2cm the reattach.

    iTunes Gift Cards.

  8. GrandCentral on AT&T Stops 'Time', Ends An Era · · Score: 1

  11. Metadata on Genome of DNA Pioneer Is Deciphered · · Score: 1

    The dataset probably includes certainty coefficients, SNR's or at minimum peak heights from the readers.

  12. Re:I have a feeling the ipods in the bin are all on Zune Team Getting Amnesty for iPod Use · · Score: 1

    I think "pilfer" implies stealing little things like pilfering a purse for gum. Course I guess it's all relative eh?

  13. Hadn't thought of that on Zune Team Getting Amnesty for iPod Use · · Score: 1

    I hadn't ever thought of it that way before. Hmmm. Insightful.

  14. Re:Fresh ground on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Yeah- this result can probably be verified with a simple HPLC analysis of the coffee.

  15. Re:Bad smell on Preventing Sick Spaceships · · Score: 1

    Depends on who its infecting. Legionnaires is better at taking down immunocompromised people such as the old scientists at the Philadelphia convention for which the disease in named.

  17. Ballmer on iPods and Pacemakers Don't Mix · · Score: 1

    I hear Steve Ballmer's uncle participates ;)

  18. Web Developers on Microsoft Drops Hints on IE8 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Requiring Windows to run IE? This is exactly what Silverlight does. It requires that developers run windows. While the plugin will be cross platform all the development require proprietary tools plus windows. I will resist it as a user as long as is reasonable, but I will never touch it as a developer. I'm all for next generation web technologies but they need to have open development standards.

    I lost respect when they started dissing Apple. *wink*

    This is Ballmer; The story ends with homicide involving a chair.

  22. Sourcewatch on Mercury Contamination Vs. Energy-Efficient Lightbulbs · · Score: 1

    Of course you want to keep in mind that sourcewatch is owned by prwatch which has a very leftist agenda (see directors profiles). I'm not saying ole Milloy is legit or anything but I think it's worth pointing out that your citation is not without heavy bias. Ed.

  23. Re:Why Apple? on NIN Releases Garageband Sources For 3 New Tracks · · Score: 1

    I'm a PC. Yes. ...ok you all know me better than that.

  24. None on NIN Releases Garageband Sources For 3 New Tracks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    None if all you're doing is listening.

    96kHz is nice for editing because you have more data to tweak- for instance if you were to timestretch a track. Plugins my friend. Essentially it's the same reason I do all my Photoshop edits at full resolution and the downscale to my output.

  25. Journals on Cancer Fighting Drug Found in Dirt · · Score: 1

    One of the things I'll miss most about being at University is journal access. Journals should be offered for much less. Subscriptions are exorbitant and individual articles run $20 to $80. With publishing going electronic you'd think that electronic versions could be offered for much less. Maybe $10/year per subscriber. Really I already paid for lots of the research so why aren't the articles public domain?
