MRI can be used to distinguish between moving and stationary fluids in tissue, to distinguish different types of interactions between hydrogens in different chemical environments, and, when combined with image processing techniques, can completely ignore some types of tissues (most commonly fat is omitted from results). Surely, if MRI can distinguish between fat and cellular mush and everything in cellular mush, it can tell between soft tissue and rock.
Well...according to efficient market hypothesis, I don't make money, but I am still trading. Bit of a paradox, except that my strategy is to make money off the people trying to make money off the massive run-ups that follow good news. Pick a pop and short it. Just don't get too greedy or too patient.
Follow your bovine instincts; they will make you happy as a Hindu heifer.
I think it makes perfect sense. Spread CPU load across two cores to lower energy density, then smack them back together to ensure water-cooled-TEC-equipped pc's are the way of the future.

If I busy sorting through my collection, I'd be streaming from digitally imported right now. Techno never gets old. I shell out 9 bucks and am considering shelling out more because I want to support di.
The cool thing about using wind to generate electricity is it's scalability. Say we use the 3% of farmland to generage most of our electricity. What's to stop us from doing it again? And again? And...you get the idea. The price of producing electricity with gas/coal/oil is determined in part by the cost of those resources, which is determined by the market, which is, for the most part, governed by supply and demand (efficient markets...work with me). If we produce as much power as we produce now with fossil fuel and then decide to double our power production, we have to double the rate at which we extract those resouces from under the dirt. The only problem is that we can't. So...prices on those commodities go up and we are hesitant to keep using so much. We are unable to keep using so much. However, with wind, if we decide to double our capacity, we don't impact our resources as directly. We can keep building turbines in the most insane places and give those suffering from epilepsy no rest from the ceasless humming. We can make everyone in the entire world into complete headcases, as if they've been listening to trance techno at 50 000 beats/min for that last century, and still build more turbines with plenty of wind left over. With such gobs of electric power available, it would be possible to take on projects that would have seemed completely asinine before, like desalinating the ocean and other fantastic miracles of mankind.
Seriously, the point is that an economy based upon fossil fuels cannot scale beyond a certain size due to finite supplies of those resources. Wind can scale virtually indefinitely because we can't currently consume all of the energy tied up in surface level pressure variations. It's indirect solar. It's beutiful. I think I'm going to become a hippy and retire to Ibiza where there will be erected a ginormous Tesla coil which will be powered by our insane electricity surplus.
With regard to wind being intermittent, not if you have them spread out all over the place, especially offshore and coastal installations, where land breeze and sea breaze offer nearly uninterrupted power.

Not nearly as hot as the high-tech blow up dolls they will power...ready again for use in one minute.

Somebody fill out a requisition for the Batterylife Activator!

I have an nForce 3 chipset and no way to update the BIOS (HP's fault). FreeBSD's netinst cd won't even boot on my machine.
EULA...read? Somebody make a EULA search engine...or better yet, a Legalese-English translator for EULA's.

What if the comets retaliate by impacting Earth?
Wait just a minute! Hold on! You mean to tell me that wind farms don't GROW wind?!?! Why are they called farms then? U r so silly :P

What about using supercapacitors like the ones used in some hybrid buses?
