The Fluoroquinolone problem lasts a lot longer than a week. I was feeling horrible (couldn't sleep, always aching, always tired, depressed) for over nine months as a result of taking Cipro less than two months.
I'm not saying this is what the problem is - just that it might be considered.
I posted this in another place in the thread, but I wanted to put it here, too:
I had an adverse reaction to Fluoroquinolones (the family of drugs of which Ciprofloxacin is part). The symptoms Patrick describes are similar to those I experienced. Patrick, if you're reading this, you might want to check into this. Might want to check http://www.fqresearch.org/ out and stop taking Cipro.

It seems like this can be related to the difference between rotary and piston engines. Both work, and the vibrations can be quelled in a piston engine. Some configurations - such as an inline 6 cylinder engine - have better inherent balances than other piston-based designs.
Just because you COULD scan it, doesn't mean you HAVE TO scan it. The money could still be used anonymously by some parties, but be scanned by legitimate businesses (or people who really are concerned that all their receipted monies are not counterfeit).
The article says that the scramjet will be "affordable", but what does that really mean? Affordable compared to current commercial technology? Affordable compared to current scramjet technology?
The affordability, more than anything else, will determine whether this technology is adopted. This engine might get you to your destination faster, but if it costs 10x as much the majority of fliers (and airlines) won't pay.
Doesn't the temperature of a medium increase as you compress it? I believe it's because you are forcing the material into a more dense and defined structure and the atoms have to release energy. Doesn't increased density cause an exothermic release?
Isn't that why cans of compressed air get cold when you use them? (An endothermic occurrence?)
To protect lucrative broadcast contracts, athletes and other participants are also prohibited from posting any video, audio or still photos they take themselves, even after the games, unless they get permission ahead of time. (Photos taken by accredited journalists are allowed on the personal sites.)
First, I don't think this would hold up in court, especially if the photographs are being used on a non-commercial site. It's like saying, "Yes, we said you could take as many pictures as you want, but you just can't show them to anyone else or use them on any website."
What's the point of taking the pictures?!?
I could understand if they said that the pictures could not be used commercially - that statement could at least be supported by some semblance of an argument.
I could also *maybe* understand a blackout of photographic or video media until after the olympics are over.
How about this -
Scenario Three:
PHB - "I'd like to buy a new database with five licenses for $20,000. It will help our productivity increase and reduce crashes."
CEO - "What about retraining?"
PHB - "Training for [enter number here] people is included in the price!"
Would that be a good way to increase profits while adding value?
One of the problems with this pricing model is that it doesn't take reputation into account. People know that MS Access will work with Windows XP. There might be a few bugs, and there might be a few issues, but for the most part it is stable and people know how to use it.
Now imagine that a new software comes out. It's producers try to show that it's better than MS Access by pricing it $100 above Access per license. What they haven't taken into account is that people KNOW Access. They know how to make it work. Will people pay $100 more (per license) for something that is unsure?
Additionally, the $100 per license isn't the only cost associated with the software's implementation. What about training? All the people using access before will now have to learn to use the new software. That can be $very$ $expensive$.
It seems that, while ad revenue has made Google what it is, ad revenue can not be the company's only source of income forever. They have to expand into other areas. Everything they do seems to be based on the expansion of their ad revenue (i.e. - GMail, Froogle, etc.).
They also bought they recently bought Picasa, so where else will they expand and how will they make money doing it?

If the price fell 100%, wouldn't that be $0?
...companies that make lead passport cases finally profit.
I thought you said somewhere that you'd been on antibiotics a while back for what was thought to be bronchitis?

Nevermind - I see the explanation below.
Isn't 1,200,000 hours close to 140 years? How do they test that??
Or, it's like crossing a bridge on the way to another destination. It will cost you $4 either way. You might as well pick up the $2.
Just because you COULD scan it, doesn't mean you HAVE TO scan it. The money could still be used anonymously by some parties, but be scanned by legitimate businesses (or people who really are concerned that all their receipted monies are not counterfeit).
Gasses, too - right? That's how diesel engines work (by compressing material to create heat and combustion).
Yeah, but I'm talking about overall costs.

This, though, is just wrong.
Must remember...

OK, Access was an example taken from the article. Do you see the point I was making, though?
