I think it's pretty clear from the article that the extra preparation and care required with bloodless surgury would consume more money/time/staff. I would think that a couple of thousand dollars in blood costs would pale in significance to a few hours of a surgeon's preparation.
The article also mentions shorter hospital stays, so that may cancel things out a bit. I'd like to see the overall cost comparison
There is no energy used directly in making the wareform go high/low. All of the energy loss is due to parasitic effects. Remember - voltage doesnt equate to energy diretly, you have to consume current at the same time.
eg: 1) Capacitance of gates/wires uses a bit of charge (current) when voltage changes. 2) Transistors go from zero voltage/high current to high voltage zero current quickly. In either of these end states theres no power, however during the transition there is brief time of small voltage, small current.
The hybrid car situation is closer to #1 - the cars are converting potential energy to kinetic energy and back. The difference is this effect is HUGE in city vehicles.
Im guessing that hotter air and hotter fuel are less dense, so you loose thrust and efficiency.
Also, scramjets are eventually going to operate in thinner sections of the atmosphere, so there isnt enough oxidier to perform the heating except at those high speeds/compression ratios.
Apart from the fact that it will never be very effective, everyone is being forced to cover the financial burden of the filtering systems, even if they dont want it.
Why dont we do the propper thing and engourage parents to be responsible and perhaps supervise their childrens internet surfing habits. Alternatively, let the parents pay extra for an ISP that provides a filtered experience.
We shouldnt have to legislate crap like this.

I think protein "folding" is another order of magnitude more complex than this. It has to do with creating the right molecular sockets and receptors just a few atoms wide to bind to the target (vusrus, bacterium etc).
This article is about folding entire strands, sather than a particular site on that strand.
I'm sure that even with this devices, there will police in pursuit, albeit at a safe distance. That's the point - they can hang back a bit an not loose the car. Im sure that in 30 seconds they could definitely catch up and deal with the hammer weilding criminal.

Lol. That so deserves modding up.

My PC and laptop are both pretty good at hibernation. As per other posters, I probably reboot once every few m,onths, but hibernate every night.
Most likely it's dodgy hardware/drivers that makes Windows Hibernation fail.

The backlight on the screen will still suck the battery dry in no time flat.
This one got me for a while, even whilst laughing at other april fools stories. Note - they added the april fools label later.
That is the funniest thing I have read on /. all day.
We're just stealing it back.
It's just a slow news week is all. The Australian government regularly does stupid things, it's just this week it got noticed by the press.
Most of it never eventuates because Howard does a backflip once he's reminded that 80% of the Australian people think he's a twit.
Just like drug addicts!
Oh, wait, that doesnt work.

I agree there are laternative parties, but in realitity it is still a two party system. The preferences all get rolled up to the top two.
Is that your best argument?
Here's my question - what part of taking an active role in protecting your child from porn is beyond reality?
Easy.
1) Dont let your kids have unsupervised internet access
2) Pay for and install your own filtering software or join an ISP that provides it.
Dont tell me I'm not qualified to comment. What gives lazy parents the right to impose filtering legislation on other adults?
A kiddy safe white-list would be far more effective and not unrealistic to implement.
they did get there with help from 'yer votes.
With the compulsory voting and two party system we have in Australia, quite often we dont vote "yes" for a winner, but "no" for the bigger loser.

That CowboyNeal is either drunk, or has a telepathic monkey typing for him.
Seriously, could we have that article again in english please?
Thanks for the tip, I'm browsing the site right now.
The other alternative (as I have used) is to add the line:

If you use twisted signal cable and differential signalling, then the lack of a common ground shouldnt matter so much.
Whoosh!
30 seconds is 500m+ at safe speeds.

Just one thought...
Eating good foods regularly throughout the day will help maintain a healthy metabolism, so you may eat 3000 calories a day and burn all 3000.
Eating one large meal of 2500 calories may cause your metabolism to slow, maybe only burning 2000 calories a day. The extra 500 goes into fat.
