As someone who has done IT for a short time, let me say:
I've found IT to be stressful mostly because of the responsibility, whether it's part of the official job description or not. I worked in IT for a ~15 person company during my undergraduate years, and anything computer related fell on my lap. I found this difficult because the users were utterly dependent, I was the scapegoat for computer failures and estimating the time for certain repairs was difficult. Undoubtedly one of the most stressful jobs I've had. Do these things get easier for professional IT?
The Intel device is something of a hybrid. It uses silicon as an amplifying material, however it also uses a layer of germanium as a light absorption region to allow operating in infrared wavelengths.
Photo multipliers have been around for a while; it would appear that the innovation is a PMT that is sensitive to IR wavelengths.
The article mentions the primary source in Nature Photonics, but it doesn't reference it (!).
This is a very good idea. I could see this being one of those new killer features to brings linux to more desktops. Integrating this into a package manager could really help new users see the (perceived) quality of some of the software projects available to them -- most people only see GUIs. Integrate a user comment/review section for individual programs, and it becomes even more accessible.
I'm aware that this is already contained in a site like freshmeat, but the point would be to make a unified experience to the new/old user. Throw in bug submission, and it's even more useful. A single program to browse, view screenshots, review/comment and submit bugs for programs. You could even throw in a paypal donation, which either gets disbursed to everybody or specific projects. There's a lot that could be done, and this is one area that OSS really shines.
I once knew a man that typed an emacs sequence, once locked in hidden, ancient papyri. Emacs conducted all of the research for his PhD, typed his dissertation, correctly formatted his bibliography (the most astounding feat of all), setup the defense with his advisory committee, presented and defended his thesis, printed, bound and submitted the dissertation.
I haven't had time to read the nature article quite yet, but it would appear that magnetic moment coherence information is transfered from electrons, which decohere quickly, to nuclei, which decohere much more slowly. Magnetic moments on nuclei in the solid-state and in the absence of local motions can maintain coherences for minutes to hours -- this is not surprising. However, I can't tell from this summary how this is different from DNP, a well established method. Maybe because it was done in silicon?
The opposite of irony is not irony. It's logic. You're stating that acrobat PDF ads are not surprising and a logical consequence for an article featuring PDF functionality. I'm only griping about this because the misuse of irony is prevalent in comments.
(Also, it's 'ads' and PDFs -- plural form, and not possessive form or a conjunction.)
Indeed, poor word usage and grammar in a posting about an office suite is ironic.
Last time I checked, LHe was about $5 USD a liter. A metric ton is 1000kg, and LHe's density is 0.125g/ml (wikipedia), which amounts to 8000 liters or about 40k. Considering that He is non-renewable, leaking out of the atmosphere, hopefully they were able to reclaim and recompress it.
Agreed. I crossed the boarder yesterday, and I had to renew my NAFTA visa. Completely at the discretion of the US boarder officer, he can decide whether to turn me back -- if I don't "look" right -- or if he doesn't like my paperwork. Searches are another concern. I had to be at work today, and getting on the US flight yesterday was important. The process can take one to two hours too.
As I was standing in line, I noticed that I may have exhibited some of these characteristics inadvertently : increased heart rate, looking around frequently, jitterish. The point is that it's a stressful situation. I'm not convinced that someone that is nervous is necessarily malicious -- a very poor correlation, I'd imagine. A detector like this would further exacerbate the situation.
It's certainly not to protect the originator of these ideas : the researcher. All of the high-tiered journals I've published in have required a copyright sign-over to the publisher -- for free. This is to protect the publisher and not the people that create these ideas/research. Copyright protection in this case certainly isn't promoting the production/producers of ideas.
This might not be obvious to some : the study is saying that there are 68 *types* of molecules to build up cells.
The fact that they propose a closed number -- not necessarily that it's a small or large number -- is interesting. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this number increased, as our knowledge of the biochemistry of archaea, viruses and other organisms increases. It's like saying the current status of the periodic table of known elements is finished.
Although I appreciate that I'm likely missing the point, isn't the fact that OS/2 already well supported on VirtualBox good enough? Isn't it sufficient for your application needs to run it as a guest on a Linux or Windows host?
Having used LaTeX to typeset my dissertation, I share these concerns about LaTeX. The documents it produces are beautifully typeset and look great -- especially for math. The notion that the writer is agnostic of the typesetting procedure and methods with LaTeX is a complete lie. I've never had to worry about ratios, measurements, indentations, word-per-line, empty pages and other problems as I have in LaTex. LaTeX submissions to journals are becoming less and less available -- in physical chemistry and chemistry journals at least.
There is a large and important market for high-quality typesetting software with excellent math functionality. More importantly, something which interfaces with bibliographic software well, and produces high quality PDFs. (Bibtex does a decent enough job, but I find that it's plagued by the same problems as LaTeX.)
I've searched for an alternative as well, and I'm quite sure that none exist. I haven't seen other type setting documentation formats for journal submissions, which I think is an important hint.
Having worked for two women in the physical sciences -- my undergraduate and PhD advisors, whom were both physical chemistry professors -- I would have to agree that this is a problem and that trying to fix it from the top is problematic. The gender inequality does exist because of vestigial sociological pressures and attitudes. However, lowering the bar for academic positions, for example, could have very detrimental effects on the quality of research and education in a post-secondary institution.
I think the problem has to be attacked from the bottom-up instead of the top-down. Have programs that encourage science/engineering in high-school and undergrad. As an example from my grad school years, the Women in Science group would host weekends full of experiments and activities for young, budding women scientists.

The capacity hasn't changed -- only their definition of a terabyte.

When did Slashdot replace bugzilla? It's news I certainly missed on here.
or started using LCDs instead of CRTs.

I guess I should stop my run of Angelo Search since Final Fantasy VIII came out.

It makes you wonder what great ideas and discoveries are lying hidden in old journals that no-one ever reads.
And how important it is to properly index and search old and new material.

This system is backwards and broken.

If a man laughs all by himself, is the joke still funny?
no doubt.
Wake me up when they put a pc in a high vacuum. You could even put the turbo pump in a different room.
My mom does. At twenty-six candles, the birthday cake is pretty much butchered.
Something tells me the movie industry won't get behind this story like they did for Erin Brockovich.
