Well, it isn't that cancer is inherently less tolerant to radiation, but it is closely related. Basically, cancer is usually more rapidly replicating than the tissue around it so radiative damage to DNA will hurt them faster than surround tissue. This is why radiation is generally a second round treatment following surgery and maybe following chemotherapy depending on the cancer of courses. If you can get most of it my surgery then you don't have to dose the radiation (or chemo) as high...
Employers look at your financial stability for TWO reasons, one is what you list, it basically shows their fiscal responsibility and can be very related or not related at all to the position (personally, I wouldn't want to hire a corporate tax accountant that can't keep himself out of debt...web design specialist, not too worried about it). The second reason though is important for an entirely different reason, it also shows at least a little bit of how motivated someone will be to steal from you. I wouldn't hire an employee that had $50,000 in credit card debt to work a $30,000 per year job without some other extenuating circumstances. Also, remember employees that never see cash at a job can still steal or black mail you.
As to mental stability, you are in a special circumstance here, but most employers aren't going out of their way to hire people who are very likely going to just go missing for weeks at a time. You state you have been on your meds continually for one year but don't state how old you are. If you are 18-20 or so, then good for you, keep it up. If you are 40 then that means half your life you have bounced off and on them and will likely continue to do so, at least from an employer's perspective.
Oh, and not many employers will go out of their way to hire a law breaking employee, of course that depends on the job and the law, but I personally wouldn't want my grandma at a nursing home where a nurse had a long history of substance abuse arrests, have my taxes done by someone who was guilty of tax evasion, or hire a policeman guilty of battery in the past.
Maybe a better summary would be that the energy transfer in photosynthesis is handled by a very long lived wavelike electronic quantum coherence. Regardless of what everyone on/. thinks, this is a pretty big deal. Suggesting something is likely or even almost certain is not the same thing as proving it.
Also, if we could all drive 10 mph over the speed limit in seedy areas maybe there would be 1-2% less violent crime in those areas, that should allow anyone to drive fast in the ghetto after all it is slowing crime at the source.
I use a set to get three HDTV stations (four at night), although technically I use the small wire loop in front of the dipoles as the stations are all UHF. Antenna technology has nothing to do with tuner technology...
If you were to coat a room with this, you would see the underlying wall almost as perfectly as if there was no coating. In other words, this material absorbs virtually zero light or else it would be useless for all the mentioned applications.
It is compared to glass, it is a lot more like air but structurally you could think of it like glass. Would a room built entirely of glass have walls that you couldn't illuminate? Well, yea, sort of, but it also means light from the OTHER side comes in...so you have to have something on the other side of the glass. THIS material would do all the light reflecting.
I have. Haven't used an ATM in about 6 or 7 years. Had nothing to do with Diebold or any spiteful decision for that matter, they simply aren't all that relevant if you don't need to pay for things with cash a lot.
This makes the huge assumption that American's are representative of humanity as a whole. I think the fact that religion pervades the average American life from birth might be an important consideration. Also the fact that people who aren't at least passively religious are more or less condemned in many circles might have something to do with how one answers these questions regardless of their actual beliefs...
Yea, but that is like saying that the drive through Kansas is interesting because you head through Kansas City. In other words, while the first 0.001% of it could be really cool, the vast majority of it will be cold empty space.
Also, there is nothing saying that the flight path would actually go near any of the interesting objects in our solar system. Would it even fly in the plane of the solar system or would it veer off of it? I don't know the absolute direction towards Epsilon Eridani, so I don't know, but don't think that this would turn into a sight seeing tour.
I've lived in three different states and none have done what you say. All require an up to date photo and an eye check, hard to do that if they send one out automatically. Now, one of the states did send out notices saying that my license was about to expire...but that isn't the same thing.
any true revolutions at a company or other entity that allows this level of an improvement over current sequencing tech will have so much VC money (or parent company cash) rolling in that $10 million won't even be worth the time for application. Then when the tech is validated and ready for use, they wouldn't have time to cash the check for $10 million while the billions are rolling in.
For those of you in other fields, imagine in the next jet propulsion X prize was $10 million to the first group to come up with a working drive capable of 20% of the speed of light within a day of ignition. Or how about a single computer CPU capable of processing 100 peta flops. Or a system capable of cracking a gallon of water but using only 100 joules of electricity.
Sure, some day these may all be possible, but right now they are pie in the sky at best.
There is a big difference between what a human can handle and what an inanimate payload can handle. Now I realize that most sats are pretty flimsy, but they are made that way to be light, they don't have to be made that way.
Also, I firmly believe the primary objective of this is to get things into orbit that ARE very difficult/expensive to lift, not comms sats.
Actually, think Seattle except more rain in much smaller time increments.
Seriously, we receive noticeably more rain than Seattle, it just isn't as "rainy" as Seattle. Basically, we get most of our rain in 1-3 inch deluges instead of light mist for days on end.
Also, while Fayetteville itself is VERY progressive, the other cities in the metro are less so. Still nothing like the rest of the state, but not much like Seattle either...more like Dallas in political perspective at least.
The summary very plainly references one bulb in EVERY HOUSE IN THE US, not just one damned bulb. Sure, the specific wording requires an eighth grade or greater (in the US, no less...) reading level, but it is definitely referencing 110,000,000 bulbs, not just 1.
I couldn't agree more. The sad thing though is that most Americans think they have less in common with most Arab countries than they really do. I've been to Beirut, it isn't all that different from an American city. Over the last few weeks, I've asked several of my friends what they thought of the Israeli Lebanon conflict and almost all of them basically think that Lebanon pretty much deserved it because they harbored Hezbollah and allowed the rockets to be fired into northern Israel. After that I asked if they knew that most Beirutis where far from extremist Islam and there was a sizeable Christian minority, most didn't. I actually hang out with a fairly liberal and well educated crowd so I was pretty surprised by this, I can also only imagine what the large bible thumping minority thinks about it...
Seriously, I couldn't agree more...I just wanted to beat someone to the point that MIGHT be made in earnest...
I just wish more people understood what catalysts really did instead of thinking of them as "magic" that makes impossible reactions possible.
While we are at it, I wish people would understand the laws of physics and how if a reaction even creates.000000000000000001% more energy than is ultimately fed into it, it would lead to the destruction of the universe eventually.
Well, you have to remember that the obelisks are what caused that to happen. There is nothing explaining that they aren't 95% of the mass of the new sun and jupiter just provides the hydrogen (which would probably last plenty long enough to do what was needed on Europa).

And ample cooling to boot.

So you get 80% as much sun as the wettest state in the union with the well known title of "lightning capital of the US" ?
How much sun do you get in comparison to Arizona or SoCal, THOSE are the places that can really capitalize on solar...

This guy lives in Baltimore, they have local TV stations...
At the same time, most podunk town police would be interested in "solving" the crime (or at least closing the file).

Plus, it was just a book =)
