Oh, but there is plenty of money. The new chemical does NOT kill bacteria, it allows antibiotics to work better. There are already LOTS of chemicals like this (penicillinase inhibitors etc), just none that are nearly this promising and I assure you that a LOT of pharma dollars are spent trying to find new chemicals that allow antibiotics to work better. They would much rather sell medicine that is already developed than spending tens of millions developing something that will only return a few more tens of millions before being rendered worthless. This allows a lot of that past knowledge to be reused.
You should splurge the $20 and buy a better antenna. My problem isn't against antennas or even indoor antennas, but specifically rabbit ears. Why use a 1940s era antenna when there are far better and smaller designs. Check out the Silver Sensor or mount a $40 Radioshack antenna in your attic and you will get far better reception.
Not all DTV is broadcast on UHF and rabbit ears DO pickup UHF on the lower end of the spectrum. There ARE far better designs though and rabbit ears will not make a return.
Well, that depends on your rats =) I've seen some that a small house cat wouldn't touch. Of course I have a 25 pound monster of a cat that could probably kill a small deer if so inclined, but prefers to hunt my wife and to a much lesser extent me. I don't really know if he would know what the hell to do if an actual Norway rat walked across our floor, but I imagine it would quickly be very bloody.
They CAN eat it, but the problem for them is that the little pieces break up and steel shards get between their teeth very quickly so they DON'T eat it, or at least very much of it. I've had rat problems in the past that strategically placed steel wool quickly cured.
You know, the area I live in that got nailed by an ice storm is also a major tornado target. So while you get nice and predictable (the eruptions aren't, but we've known those volcanoes were present for a LONG time) major damage producers we get massively unpredictable minor to medium damage producers. It all washes out in the end. Of course all the Alaskans I know can drink me under the table, so I guess you still win (I do have an Australian friend that can drink everyone I have ever met under the table, but he is also a rather large person).
Most of the population affected outside India are probably Indian or have a significant Indian ancestry. This doesn't change your numbers, but shows that the risk is actually much higher or lower depending on your social group.
Seriously, I just got a ten dollar bonus that had fucking taxes taken out of it, so it was like $9.10. The worst thing is that I have worked jobs that didn't get any sort of bonus, but those were crappy jobs. This is a good job, I make about $40/hour and work about 45 hours per week on average. I don't know why they even bother with the stupid bonuses. I have to work Christmas day and get holiday pay then at $60/hour so I will make my bonus in like 10 minutes. Who the hell knows.
Well, that is all true except most simulations eat a ton of RAM (we aren't comparing 20 GB to 25GB here, the PS3 has 256MB of memory) and the PS3 does NOT have a faster CPU. If you think it does, look at the folding@home stats for a PS3 versus a mid/high end GPU. The GPUs are really what are interesting here, the main CPUs of both systems are slow enough to make them of no interest when only talking 8-20 units...
From the folding@home Wiki: as of August 24, 2008, GPU clients accounted for the majority of entire project's throughputâ"over 1.8 petaFLOPs of computational powerâ"at an approximate ratio of 9 clients per teraFLOP
On April 26, 2007, Sony released a new version of Folding@home which improved folding performance drastically, such that the updated PS3 clients produced 1500 teraFLOPS with 52,000 clients versus the previous 400 teraFLOPS by around 24,000 clients.[22] Lately, the console accounts for around 40% of all teraFLOPS at an approximate ratio of 35½ PS3 clients per teraFLOPS.
So using those numbers, the PS3 is about a fourth as powerful as the average GPU running folding@home, and of course we know that the average GPU isn't nearly as fast as the fastest available.
I can certainly back this up, from my experience the first author on a paper does 80% of the work, the next few work in the same lab and contributed in some minor way and the last few are the people you put on the grant application to have any chance of getting money.
The problem isn't just mutation but also crossover events and other more common ways to "mix and match" genetics, a more stable backbone would decrease the chance of that happening.
They are also the only state that is currently asking for a large loan package from the federal government.
I have a question, who is more able to fund a large home improvement? A family making $2,000,000 per year with outgoing expenses of $1,999,999 per year or a family making $400,000 with outgoing expenses of $150,000. Assuming that the outgoing expenses can't be reduced, the answer is obvious.
But will our civilization as we know collapse if the cost of virtually all fruits and vegetables went up three fold? Yea, I think it would because even more people would eat only pre-prepared crap and continue to suffer the consequences.
I am from the southern US and have known quite a few people from the UK and have had very little trouble understanding them not them understanding me. The only trouble I've ever had was a friend of mind from Cork, I was friend with him for about four years before I moved and to the last day he still said things that caught me completely off guard. I could get everything 99% of the time, but if he became angry or excited it just turned into Gaelic to me:) No one every complained about my accent either although I grew up completely in the South (Arkansas), but many people I know from here think I am from Ohio for some reason unless of course I get excited and then just a hint of drawl sneaks in;)
The naturally occurring variant is such a small percent of the population as to not be an evolutionary pressure for HIV, if huge numbers of people all of a sudden basically have this gene that pressure will increase quite a bit.
Talk about completely misreading even the one paragraph blurb. Zinc fingers are a large group of protein sub-structures which are used to interact with DNA. This group used them to induce a specific mutation which now seems to be HIV resistant How long this will last is really up in the air though, HIV and all other RNA viruses evolve very quickly.
Don't existing plants operate at that temp just to maximize the difference between the hot and cold side of the thermal generator? That would imply that the waste heat of the solar plant wouldn't be nearly 800 deg C.
The problem though is you really shouldn't use the mileage rate to calculate this, it far exceeds your actual costs since your Mom would still likely own the car and have to pay insurance on it. Of course, this only goes to INCREASE your point as it makes it far cheaper to actually drive than you calculate.
Well, New Orleans wasn't "built" below sea level, it just sank to that point... When it was constructed the land was chosen BECAUSE it was the highest land near the mouth of the Mississippi. The problem is the weight of the city has caused the land to sink over time, resulting in it actually being BELOW sea level currently.

Which is a hell of a lot better than all of Earth's nitrogen going up in a fusion reaction.

Well, we will stop freaking out now, but a congressional district in SC sure looks stupid for electing this guy several times...

Maybe a better solution is to move to the western side of the state, we have no such problem (nor any of the myriad other problems the delta has).
