Let them enjoy hearing "whoosh whoosh" all damn day.
Not all day unless they are on the seaboard and can catch the sea breeze, most likely every other day or one day in three: most of the time the wind is either too weak or too strong. Wind power is useful if you can afford the big pile of accumulators.
China does not think ahead worth zilch, the "rare earths" are as rare as common dirt except in lower concentrations. China only has more productive deposits. I call that shooting yourself in the foot: the rare earths are already being replaced in some components, and the mines that closed when China started dumping are reopening.
The scientific method is about _systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses_, not just following hypothesis testing, unless the most unschooled layman will also keep a journal with the inputs, the outputs and the techniques used when troubleshooting anything at all.
Theories are not the end product of science, but the start of any enquiry... you're not just doing random experiments until you discover a theory, you start with some presupositions, then gather data by observation or experiment, test your hypotesis, adjust etc.
No, they just rediscover what was common knowledge in other linguistics, but so uninteresting and unimportant that nobody bothers to put videos about it on youtube . I'm waiting for them to discover phonetic drift, that is really interesting and important, and could do with some computational lovin'.
in other news, a team of linguists discovered the law of universal gravitation
do you dig holes in the ground or pick potatoes for a living ? only there this might work...
Employee churn is expensive in training and lost productivity costs; it happens all the time, but it's stupid, the shareholder does not gain by it; the manager might get one bonus for showing "determination and initiative" and finishing one project in time, but gets fried with the next project...
Labour hours were lowered from 12h/day to 8h/day not because of the labour unions or the SocDems, but because 12h/day does not work with tasks that need skilled labour and expensive machinery.
the government of Iran kinda was elected... they're one of the few to hold elections in the area, and relatively free... they can't change the regime, but can choose who runs it
Physically addictive drugs like crystal meth, heroin, opium, etc... should not be legalized. You can't trust people to use drugs like that responsibly.
so, how do you trust those working for police warehouses ?... or they hire only people that cannot be tempted or are immune to methamphetamine, heroin, opium etc. ?
oh, come on... restricting consumption is one of the major motivations for consumption...
I grew with a bloody hemp field nearby and nobody smoked it (though they used it for fishing by dropping large batches of dried hemp in the water, drugged fish swam slowly under the surface, you could just pick those you wanted out of the water ), now it's illegal and everybody talks about it or daydreams about smoking
Pretty narrow limitation, I would say... nobody banned research using mouse embrions.
The whole debate is beyond ludicrous, all is based on what we imagine we might be able to do with biotech, not on what we actually do with it: from the fine wikipedia article "India banned in 2004 reproductive cloning, permitted therapeutic cloning."... good thing they did not ban traveling above warp 4.5 in inhabited star systems...
Let's face it once SAS goes mainstream anyone with a couple bucks will be able to set up shop offering the same service as you with out having to pile all that cash into writing and maturing their software that took "your" company years and likely millions to get going.
I should be rolling on the floor laughing, but I'm just doing support for some SAS solution right now... fortunately I have written my own custom tools to automate most of the fixes and 99% of the time I have only to choose which button to click.
No SAS services will give you the same service as your own custom designed e-shop. Custom solutions would be too expensive for a 100 items shop, but larger companies would need to write their own e-shop software, or at least contract somebody else to write custom software.
Computers, tech staff and consultants that talk in tongues.
yeas, eveel mean tech staff:)... until your SAS shop stops scaling or you have to hire back a tongues speaking IT wizard to process the dumb reports and give you the info you need, or you want to add vouchers for "the FSM day" etc.
so, they can culture mice and monkey organs already ?... or even simple tissue that has some medical use ?... I guess not, because "they" can't even persuade a stem cell to do anything, or even know for sure that stem cells can be persuaded to do anything, or even what the blasted stem cells are... this is the same as "cloning": there was no cloning done with animals yet, only transplated nuclei into ova, which _is not cloning_ in any sense of the word, because there is very important DNA that exists outside of the nucleus so the resulting animal is not an identical copy of the one that the nucleus was ripped from.
The whole "human stem cell" business is just a scam: oh, we're saving lives here, give us your money...
first make it work with lizards, or fish, or no matter what vertebrate
"They" should make it work with mice and I'm pretty sure everybody will give them money and sacrificial virgins and everything they want.
I don't understand one thing: why not do it with embryonic cells from mice first ? or from monkeys... why is it so important to use human cells right from the beginning ?
the restrictions on federal funding are not about "sanctity of life", they are about the slippery slope of experimenting on humans

no stealing, just copyright infringement; stealing belongs to the penal code, copyright infringement belongs to the civil code
make a derivative work from a GPL work and distribute it without the source code
no, it would not be OK, distributing executables implies you own the copyright ...
copying your GPL'd program without credit and copyrighting it is stealing
there, fixed that for you
claiming copyright on stolen music would be the same thing, simple sharing is not
yes, all those supplies used in the wars made themselves, there was no labor involved, no energy consumed, no taxes paid ...
"fairly good subsidies and tax credits", "reaping a nice upside for a decade or two"
you mean somebody else paid for a large part of your 5kw system and will pay for two decades of feed-in tarrif ?
you know that electricity is not like water that you pump in a reservoir, do you ?

while doing lab work ... and very soon you get a "mad female scientist"
EU does not understand science ... after all, they funded the anti-GM clips with the "radioactive" sign instead of the "biohazard" sign on display.
oh, BBC news ...

Government software should be created by government employees, not contractors.
All software should be written by employees who understand the domain where the software is supposed to be used.
FTFY
Best software is written by those that will also use it.

citation, please ?
meant _human stemm cell studies_
really ? last I heard they only refused to finance "human cell studies" with federal funds ...
