So the moral of the story is that virus/worm writers should design their programs to trigger before the 2nd Tuesday of the month for maximum impact, preferably the thursday or friday before to ensure that the differential cost impact of the fix update will be too high to release just a few days early.
I guess I can understand from a qualitative point of view where it is nice to have the spiral connecting all the periods but it drastically undercut one of the most important visual aspects of the current periodic table in the instant ability to predict the values of the n, l, ml quantum numbers. For a beginning student in the sciences this is drastically important, more so than removing abrubt ends to rows and sharp corners.
As a physical chemist I view the Noble Gases as a very important book end that serves the distinct purpose of deliniating a full shell and everything after that represent the valence shell which is what controls chemistry.
I like there vision statement
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Vision is:
To improve life here, To extend life to there, To find life beyond.
It is #2 that troubles me.
Well at least it wasn't South Lyon, but surely there must have been a more exciting location in southeast michigan for a conference to attract people from across the nation than Novi. On the extended drive from the airport, visitors will get a good view of the concrete/asphalt jungle that is the suburban sprawl of Detroit and Oakland County
The Emperor Linux version is speced with a 1.3 battery life. That will certainly be a down side at your local coffee shop since there never seems to be enough plugs.
The downside with a free business model is that if anyone decides to pump money into something working on small margins, they can essentially control the content with little effort. This is not to say this does not happen with the current pay service but it takes a significant larger sum of money which ensures some stability in the content of any given news instrument. A purely free service could easily swing in terms of content and message from month to month and inspire little confidence in its reliability.
It is things like this and the delayed operating system that makes one wonder if microsoft wants to get out of the Home User Operating system and just concentrate on their business customers.
Just think all they would really need to do is roll out a good, non-bloated version of Office for Macs and Linux that is compatible with their office version of Office and they can stop having to worry about whiny home user.
So is that a 30% quantum efficiency, i.e. 30 percent of photons absorbed are converted to an electron? or does it truly represent a 30% convertion of watts? I kinda doubt since you will not get anymore electrons (Amps) than you have photon (fluence) and the decrease in energy (Volts) from the visible to the infrared is more than 30% (unless by infra red they mean 1000 nm). Rememeber Watss = Volts Amps.
Our High School had a PDP-11. Learned BASIC by tearing apart an ASCII graphic STAR TREK game. Wrote my own instant messaging program since the sysadmin wouldn't other people use the DEC Talk program.
Lets not also forget the the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen has a very significant activation barrier. While I am sure UV light can help accelerate this, it is difficult to imagine that the increase in water vapor will be larger than what comes from those damm lakes they have in Las Vegas!
As someone who currently uses Google because my university has yet to purchase Scifinder Scholar ($~24,000/year for one connection), I would have to say Scifinder Scholar is superior (albeit not worth the price). The most important benefit is that you can draw a chemical structure and it will find all the articles about that structure in the ACS journals, the RCS journals and the European Elsevier journals (which are even more tight fisted than the ACS, I might add).
Google and PubMed do not come close to the usability of this tool except in price point.
I look forward to serving my new money-bloated overlords

fMRI uses a strong magnet? This is perhaps the oversimplification of the year. It leaves one with image of a hanging bar magnet and the more the N end points toward your brain the greater the chance you are lying.
As much fun as it is to bask on BillWare but it would have been nice if his desclaimer:
"Note that the latest version of Internet Explorer, as patched by Windows XP Service Pack 2, is not vulnerable to the installations shown in my video and discussed above"
So if gmail allows pop3 and smtp, I should now be able to send an encrypted email to another Gmail account or receive one in mine and Google will not be able to parse since they will not have access to the key pair.
Does anyone know if Google has put anything in place to prevent pre-encrypting email or are they just assuming that the majority of the people using their service will not bother with this?
From reading the article I wonder if anyone knows why the Juvenile Diabetes Research Association is funding an independent researcher but not providing any funds to the person if started the research? Of course from reading some of the other discussion, it is possible the article is simply underreporting the funding to make the issue more sensational (or is that too cynical?)

one wonders how in two hours one can truly test someone's compentency when most projects requires at least 2hours to determine the source of the problem
It was not clear. Was the improvement between two distinct groups with and without charge. Or did the study test everyone both ways (in a double blind manner or as double blind as an electical shock can be) and they witnessed a 20% improvement after before and after shocking?
Well if the record company says no and Walmart drops cds, then one might expect to see a surge in the number of on-line sales. Sounds like a good reason for the labels to promote on-line sales.
According to the press release they sell the thing for $89.95 or 89,95 euro. At the current exchange rate, you could buy they in the US, fly to France and sell them for euros and pocket the 20 cents ont he dollar profit. Of course getting the 5000 units through customs might be an issue.

Do people with the brain damage have trouble making sarcastic comments or do they simply give literal statements all the time?
Just gives it new meaning does it not!!!

So would a group of six mini coopers count the same as three ford explores? Length wise they would be about the same if they were tailgating?

From the pictures each nitrogen unit cell appears planar and the polymer appears in sheets, much more like graphite than diamond.
