"I have lists of hundreds of albums I cannot find anywhere"
I guess you have tried Soulseek? There is a linux (nicotine) and an OS X client (ssX) availible. I have found it to be the best place by far to look for obscure music. You might have to give the search some time though (days) since the user who has the music you want has to be online for it to show up.
And Gemm is a good, although sometimes a bit expensive, place to find second hand Lps and Cds.
You are half correct. As I understand it:
Healthy people under normal circumstances regulate their breathing based on CO2 since CO2 will rise well before significant decrease in O2.
People with COPD instead regulate based on O2. They are insensitive to CO2 from having had high amounts in their blood for a long time. This is why you have to be careful giving them oxygen since it might downregulate their breathing and cause CO2 poisoning.
Malaria, 500 million infections and 3 million deaths annually. AIDS, 3 million deaths annually and rising.
Diabetes, alzheimers and flu more important you say? BTW, there already is a cure for 90% (type II) of all diabetes: Eat healthier, exercise more!
The sad thing is the pharmaceutical companies has the same priorities. No money in saving african peoples lives but lots of money in selling life long medication for life-style illnesses in the rich western world.
Did you lower the voltage as well? Ive got a 2500+ barton running at 1400mhz (200x7) @ 1.1V (stock 1833 @ 1.65V) in my server and I am able to passively cool it using the original heatsink. After a few hours of full load the temperature is still within a few degrees of the surrounding air. (typically ~43C) According to my calculations i have reduces the maximum power consumtion from 70W to 20W with just a 25 percent decrease in performance. Probably less if i take in to account the increased bus speed (400 vs 333)
Is it a general rule that good overclocking processors also are good underclockers?
I agree. And all it takes is lowering the frequency by maybe 20% and you will be able to run it on much lower voltage and thus less power. And who needs that extra 20% anyway, really?
"It also consumes 1000 watts of power"
1000W seems a little high... Four dual core opterons doesent need half of that! Even less for single core. The article suggest using 55W opterons.
Shouldnt that also mean that lots of vitamin C, vitamin E and catalase in the diet would increase your lifespan? If I recall correctly these are the major substances involved in neutralizing ROS.
You are over simplifying. For a normal cell to become a tumor cell all of the following mutations are required:
* telomerase activity * insensitivity to apoptosis by either disrupting the proapoptotic signal pathway (Bax, P53, effector-caspase etc) increase the expression of antiapoptotic signals such as Bcl-2 * growth factor independence (ie constitutively active Ras) * insentivitity to growth inhibitors * proangiogenetic mutations
250-300 in what standard deviation? The standard scale is usually Wechsler or Stanford-Binet with SD15 and SD16 respectively. An IQ of 200 on the Wechsler scale means you are one in 76 billion. There just isnt that many people availible to be less smart han you. 250 sounds a bit high.
This was one of the first discovieries but today we know that inflammation is the cause, or at least plays an important role, in lots if other diseases. Heart disease, rheumatism, diabetes, etc.
Wouldnt it be cheaper to buy an Athlon64 and then underclock it and lower the voltage? I got a barton 2500+ running at 1.6ghz (8x200) @ 1.2V which by my calculations would be something like 30W
They dont have to *know* its bad. It is just enough that the butterflies predisposed to mate with similarily patterned have more healthy offpring and thus will dominate the population in a few generations.
Well, in the case of cats and dogs they have been selectively bred for thousands of years to produce many variations that would never have appeared naturally. In nature there is a selection pressure and often the markings have some funcion or other that they perform the most efficiant looking in a special way.
"Why don't the butterflies want to breed with butterflies that look slightly different?"
Quoted from TFA:
"The reason evolution favours the emergence of a "team strip" in related species, or sub species, living side-by-side is that hybridisation is not usually a desirable thing.
Although many of the Agrodiaetus species are close enough genetically to breed, their hybrid offspring tend to be rather weedy and less likely to thrive. "
"If all offspring have the same number of genes as their parents, and all species on earth are evolved from one original life form, shouldn't all creatures have the same number of genes? Are there any theories out there regarding how genes are added or subtracted over time?"
There are many mechanisms for adding, changing, and subtracting genetical information (translocations, mutations, deletations, insertions, non-disjunction etc etc. In the vast majority of cases the results are death for the offspring but in a rare few cases it results in viable and even rarer, a better adapted offspring. For an everyday example: People with Downs Syndrome have either an extra 23rd chromosome or a robertsonian translocation with pretty much the same added genetic material as a result. That means they have roughly 2 percent more genes than other people...

That should of course be "G / em"
According to another article they are:
C / am, G / am, Eb / cm, F / dm, D / bm, A / f#m, E / c#m, Db / Bbm, Bb / gm, Ab / fm,

Um. Anabolic steroids and corticosteroids are not the same thing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabolic_Steroids
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticosteroid
Well actually it is converted to 25-OH-vitamin D in the liver. And that in turn gets converted to calcitriol in the kidney.

Sounds strange since its $118 including shipping at newegg.com2 E16819116001

First google hit on "computer parts" btw so its probably even cheaper somewhere else.
Or just baking soda and water...
Actually, the top of the line Opteron costs more than 2000 according to amd.com
Dual-Core Model 875 HE $2,149
and i'm sure the fastest Xeon is similarily priced.

Congratulations! You just lost the argument. :)

You are absolutely right; he 21st chromosome it is... must have slipped on the keyboard.
