for science pdfs the best that I have found is Papers on an iPad
zoom in on figures in full color, pdfs organized the same way as on the desktop.......
goodreader and pdfreaderpro are ok but lack the organization that Papers has
in many species the female is heterozygous for the sex chromosome not the male- the ZW system in some insects is a prominent example
Time Lords may be one of these species so that a clone of a male could be female
vpn doesn't work with Vista here so ITS isn't supporting it (and ITS is leaning towards going to all Macs with Parallels for the few programs that only run on XP- which is a big switch)
we don't know the cost yet, once Apple/AT&T tell us (they probably don't know yet) what the plans will cost per month then we can decide, if the rumors are correct and the plans will be in the zero-$10/month range then it looks pretty good, at $25/month it looks too expensive (for me), $500 for the iPhone and two years service is a steal...... $1500 is way too much and the real price will be somewhere in between
put IE7 on the home PC, we have one PC and many Macs at home, tried it out for a bit and then removed it....... like many of the above posters my users (aka "family") would have to hunt around to find IE so they all use firefox or safari, firefox on the PC has dropped malware incidents dramatically
a non-random sample of teen age girls (relatives and their friends) in our upper middle class neighborhood indicates that 100% of them want an iPhone NOW! they don't know/care about 3G/GSM/GB etc...... facebook/youtube/IM/ring tones and so on is what they care about..... doing things like sending mp3's via IM to other iPhones- or showing the facebook page of who you are talking to- is more likely to be the killer app then a full featured calendar or any of that "work" stuff (the key app for me will be navigation)
its only an application but maybe he could do EndNote in February (its the shortest month and he may need the rest of the year for Vista), he could easily find a bug a day in that most despised piece of software (which unfortunately has no substitute), I find one most every day without trying......... of course, if he called customer support to report a bug he would be put on hold for the whole month
1. it is known that birds (for example, crows) do use tools
[no recorded cases of birds making baskets to transport mammals 1000s of miles though]
2. examination of the trout in the lakes in the Sierras (in California) support the notion that the trout get from lake to lake via birds
3. animals have been known to travel vast distances (to Hawaii and other islands) over open water, the current guess is this is done via logs and other things that float
we also have many students like that, my guess is that a lot of them go into medicine since even a mediocre doc will do fairly well financially (but not as well as the students think)..... the problems with US science/tech are complex but facing up to our reliance on those born outside of the US (take a stroll down any hallway at Intel, Google, Pfizer etc) is one step...... we have been able to attract many of the best and brightest from India, China, Russia and elsewhere but nowdays a lot of these folks go back after receiving their training (especiallly the Chinese) rather than staying here which is a problem for us (but not for them)
you are right the servers do suck, I set it to play (with the sound off) and then sometime later watch it, 6-8 minutes of low quality video and poorly synced sound seems to take 30+ minutes to load, adding to the problem is the poor use of wmv that eats machine cycles like crazy even when not running- at least on a Mac, but I have a Mac Pro so I have cycles to burn
the folks that read/. aren't going to give up their desktop OSs and apps anytime soon, but many (most) home users would be fine with IM, email, photo, word processing and so on being run off some server in Borat's broom closet especially if this meant no updating/malware/backups or other maintanence, a lot of these folks would see $10 to $20 a month (added to the cable bill) for all of this a bargain
I use vi, have used vi and even remember using vi for email way back when nsfnet was all there was and I have always despised vi
but I don't hold this against Bill Joy who did lots of other good things
in today's accreditation obsessed society the letters-and where you got them- after your name matter a lot (probably way too much but that is the way it is), as mentioned above the phd/mba etc will help get you your chance...... in my job (university professor, perhaps the best job) a phd is the bare minimum qualification.... there will always be folks like Jobs & Gates who do spectacularly well without degrees but they are they are the exceptions (Miles Davis went to Juilliard, John Coltrane went to Ornstein, Bill Evans went to Mannes etc)
"Floride replaces iodine in the thyroid, upsetting the metabolism, causing weight gain and lethargy."
hahahahahahaha.... that is really funny
there is no evidence for this whatsoever, your teeth will turn as black as night long before fluoride gets to your thyroid

building a colony at a Lagrangian point makes a lot more sense than going to the moon especially as a way station to Mars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point

sometime ago I used BSOD as the screen saver on a Mac (for a short time, on a G3?)
well, that is quite a stretch but just maybe send the info from Mindstorms to host so that the robots can read
one big reason to upgrade to Leopard is that it will be that it will be faster, especially on intel Macs- the eye candy is nice fluff

he will have a lot more fun giving away $30 billion than staying at MSFT
geez, we'll use this just to find their backpacks (which are a whole lot harder to keep track of than where the kids are)
will it run on Vista?
