Have you actually seen a current green card or are you just repeating what you read? Green cards are indeed green and this is what they look like since 2010. I'm not sure if I should take the erst of your post seriously either.
...Ethanol gets converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, through the loss of one hydrogen atom....
"by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase" - remove duplication. It's just "by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase". Aarghh!
This is one of the most horrible and stupidest summaries I've read in a long time. Enzymes are biochemical catalysts. Ethanol and acetaldehyde are substrates. The substrates get converted into end products with the help of enzymes and energy. Ethanol does not get converted *into* an enzyme known as acetaldehyde. Ethanol gets converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, through the loss of one hydrogen atom. In the next step, acetaldehyde gets converted into acetic acid (same thing as in vinegar) by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase through the loss of another hydrogen atom. Acetaldehyde a lot more toxic than acetic acid. If you block the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (which lacks naturally in a minority of East Asians), there will be an accumulation of excess acetaldehyde, causing very noxious symptoms. This is exactly what drugs like disulfiram ("antabuse") do. What a badly written summary. Both the submitter and the editor need to read some biochemistry or learn to use google before posting rubbish.
The author of TFA and the submitter of this story are the same person - Julie Bort. She is just creating sensationalist nonsense news by extracting sound-bites out of context from the interview. This is an example of a bad summary, and bad, sensationalist "journalism". This loses the point of the interviewee and projects him in a bad light, while getting self-promotion for this so-called "reporter". *makes mental note not to take any writing by Julie Bort seriously*.
This strikes me as a huuuuuge breach of medical record confidentiality. Where exactly do they plan to legally get enough medical records to mine in the first place?
As long as eighteen HIPAA identifiers are removed, the data is considered deidentified by HIPAA. Deidentified data does not need patients' consent. De-identified data-only studies only need the hospital IRB (Institutional Review Board) approval. Believe me, it's not an easy task to get the IRB approval.
It is a bit bizarre that so many cities rejected joining up to have the most advanced residential fiber network in the nation built in them. (Granted, a lot of them dropped out due to telecom pressure, but still.)
There was a lot of FUD by Qwest and Comcast, and the council idiots succumbed to it. This might reveal some info: FreeUtopia
... an illness that I would best describe my first-hand experience as a "laughably mild cold, without the annoyance of a stuffy nose"...
If you are from the US, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, UK, France or one of the other countries that symptomatically *diagnose* someone as having swine flu without any lab tests, you may not have had swine flu at all. Your symptoms would not be valid swine flu symptoms in that case.
On the other hand, if you are from India, China, Japan, Australia, Thailand, Chile, Peru, Vietnam, Germany, South Korea or the other countries that do lab tests do diagnose swine flu, you might have had a mild case of swine flu. Your symptoms are not generalizable to others.
So do many new cars. The fluids have the same physical/chemical characteristics, and the power steering motor and the brake actuator are in nearby locations. Makes sense to have just one fluid unless you drive some exotic high performance car.
ISRO generates Rs.1.5 to the economy for every Rs.1 that it uses in funding. This is the immediate return alone. The sustained returns (improvement in education and agriculture through remote sensing), and commercial application of its inventions are not included in this figure. The goal of ISRO is to promote space research to benefit as much of the population as possible.
ISRO is also selling commercial launch and remote sensing and imagery services through it's commercial division - Antirix corp which is making a profit.
I have been to the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and India apart from the US. The US is the only country where I was asked to take the laptop out of the bag at airport security. Go figure.
Sorry to reply to my own post. The previous version (v2.3) of DD-WRT gave uptimes of nearly two months. But the current version (v2.4) isn't as stable.
The US doesn't block this kind of thing on sovereignty grounds Did you read about the protests from politicians and news media hosts that happened when DPW (Dubai Ports World) wanted to operate the ports on the US West Coast?
Such security experts will do the penetration testing at the home owner's request. They won't do it on their own, and then threaten to sell it to the highest bidder (read: other potential burglars).
Pakistan's biggest adversary is India, which is militarily more powerful and has had nukes since 1976. Conventional weapons worth several billions of dollars are no match for a militarily more powerful, nuclear equipped adversary.
However, the US cannot legally sell nukes to Pakistan because the US has signed the Non Proliferation Treaty. However, if this is true, this is quite shameful and criminal since this still counts as a violation of NPT.
Besides, India is the only nuke-equipped country in the world with a written "no first use of nukes in a conventional war" policy. The US is just building Frankenstein monsters by providing nukes to Pakistan, which has been caught red handed several times with aiding, abetting, funding, harboring and protecting terrorist groups.
Get the Nokia N810 Internet tablet. I have its older predecessor N770, but I have played with the immediate predecessor N800.
They have a built-in web browser (with Flash and Javascript), and it's a full fledged Linux handheld, with a large community of developers. It even has a SIP compatible VOIP program, a webcam for web conferencing, email client and a PIM (personal information manager - addressbook, calendar, etc). The only thing that sucks are the screensize (800x480) and the battery life (about 3 hours). But you could get some extra batteries, and somehow manage with the screen size (it's higher than most computers 15 years ago). The N810 even adds built-in GPS receiver. It's one device that does it all - PIM, email, VOIP/video conference, web browsing, ebook reader and GPS navigation. It has WiFi and bluetooth built-in.
Pair it with your cellphone (with EDGE or 3G built-in) and you're good to go. In fact, I'm planning to get rid of my big PDA-cellphone and get a tiny cellphone with 3G and bluetooth. I'll just carry a Nokia N810 when I need the fancy features. When I go out to a restaurant to eat, I don't want to carry a large PDA-phone. A tiny cellphone is all I need. This way, even when I switch cellphone carriers or visit a foreign country, all I need to worry about is to get (or borrow) a cellphone with 3G and bluetooth. It just needs to serve as a replaceable modem for my Nokia N810 handheld. It has a built-in keyboard, onscreen keyboard, decent handwriting recognition, and can pair with a bluetooth keyboard for long typing sessions. No more worries about getting an expensive PDA-phone (Shudder iPhone) and getting locked to an obsolete technology or a crappy cellphone company.
Did I mention you can use it as an eBook reader, btw?

Better back up your firmware, just in case this makes you infirm.

Agree. For much better articles about NewEgg's distribution centers, see AnandTech. The first one is a very old article in fact.

It's been said, a pair of $75 nike's would cost $300 if made by americans.
New Balance shoes are made in the US and UK, and cost the same as a Nike. Guess where the difference in manufacturing costs are going.

De-identified data-only studies only need the hospital IRB (Institutional Review Board) approval. Believe me, it's not an easy task to get the IRB approval.
Here's the list of the 18 HIPAA identifiers.

It must first differentiate between "time flies like an arrow" and "fruit flies like a banana". Then, and only then, can be the system be trusted.

They have problems with people trying to get INTO India? I thought everyone wanted to get out!
Illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and Nepal
Terrorists from Pakistan
Refugees from Sri Lanka (and to a tiny extent, Burma)
You need to get out of your little well once in a while.
(bear in mind that the U.S. has much tougher safety and emissions standards than India).
Untrue. Did you pull that claim out of a hat? India has poorer safety standards than the US, but stricter emission standards than the US. Indian emission standards are modeled after the Euro emission standards, which are a lot stricter (PDF, see page 26) than the US emission standards.

Turns out it doesn't have enough tubes.

I have a $75 Linksys WRT54G and I've installed the latest DD-WRT. I still have to restart it once every two weeks.
What does providing internet service have to do with playing a fiddle?
