Maths is a contraction of mathematics. Mail is not a contraction of anything. The only correct way, in any dialect of english, to use the word 'mails' is as a verb. I.e. Jim mails his brother a letter every week.
Profit and human life are mutally exclusive. This is why the state of healthcare, insurance, and pharmaceuticals is so completely and utterly fucked in this country. Shareholders' bottom lines are coming before patients' healths and always will until healthcare is completely moved into the not-for-profit sector.
You're just mad because you couldn't figure it out.
Seriously, though, the kind of math-head problem solving nerds that have both the time and ambition to work this problem out are the kind of people Google is looking for in their R&D department. Why are they such evil exploitative capitalists for making sure only those kinds of folks apply for the job?
Looks promising. They need to be really careful, though....drugs that inhibit or kill immune cells can very a little unpredicable. I wish they had gone into more detail as to how they are keeping new WBCs from being formed with the same defect that causes them to attack the islet cells.
Some of your information is not entirely correct. Beer is quite high in maltose, a disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules joined by 1->2 glycosidic bonds. Your body contains enzymes that can catabolize maltose into glucose quite rapidly. All other things being equal, maltose will be converted to blood glucose even faster than sucrose (table sugar) will.
Why is that a problem? Insulin is released by the body in response to blood sugar increases...the faster the blood glucose increase, the more insulin gets dumped into the blood stream. Aside from shuttling glucose in the muscles and liver to clear it from the blood, insulin also plays a role in storage of lipids. This is the basis behind the glycemic index, and why people who eat foods low on the glycemic index tend to be thinner and have lower instances of type-2 diabetes. Ever wonder about the infamous beer belly? This is where it comes from. This is also why type-1 diabetics have that funny little paunch in the front of their bellies even when the rest of them are skinny....the insulin they inject promotes accumulation of belly fat.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
I don't think you quite grasp the amount of chemistry, biochemistry, and physics that a physician must study in medical school. It's even more so if they want to specialize or do research.
Coming up with new ways of healing people *comes from* understanding the world. Researchers trained as doctors are huge contributors to medical research, aka science. (Going by your vague definition of science=understanding the world) Why don't you check out the NIH sponsored M.D./Ph.D. programs at various medical schools throughout the country? These people are accomplished chemists, physicists, and biologists. They are also doctors, many of whom treat patients in between lab times.
Get out of your little academic bubble...arrogant elitists like you are why the average member of the public feels disconnected from science.
Actually, small quantities (i.e. a drink or two) of alcohol can have beneficial effects in that it can have a blood-thinning effect that prevents blood clots that can lead to heart attack and stroke.
It's not all that great for your liver, of course, but the liver is more than capable of dealing with a couple drinks a day in addition to its normal duties.
I bet you a month's salary that most of those resumes from unqualified people that come in are from those who are on unemployment and have to apply for a certain number of jobs per week or they lose their benefits.
Everyone has their individual skill set and there's not always a job in the paper or on monster that matches that exact skill set in their area...so they have to apply for x number of jobs that week so they can feed their kids, pay their rent/mortgage and just maybe get something to eat. Don't be so spiteful about it...they're not stupid, they're unemployed.
Yep, that sounds about right. Do a little scrambling once every 2-3 weeks to make it look live you've done something productive. It helps if you're allowed to state your own deadlines. For instance, if a project will reasonably take you a week, tell your boss it will take you a month. Then cut corners and do it in 3-4 days. you've now earned 3 1/2 weeks of vacation.
Living 5 minutes from work also let me master the fine art of pager-tag. I'd stay in bed until I got a page from someone...my boss, for instance. Then I'd roll out of bed, get dressed quick, and drive to work. I'd call him back and tell him I was in the shitter. Some days I got to sleep until after noon. Man that job was great.
In many large corporate jobs, you can do absolutely zero work and as long as you show up, it will be at least a month before anyone notices. Then, when heat starts to come down, send out a bunch of fake progress reports on your work. It helps if your job is as pointless as mine was when I was at Global Crossing. (evaluation of new network security software and hardware when we already had a solid security infrastructure in place)
Don't forget about the people like me that said "Fuck this Sinking Titanic of an industry" and went back to school to learn something entirely different. 4 years later, I have chemistry degree and I'm about to go into medical school. Yeah, I've been poor for the last few years, but I'd be poor anyway if I were unemployed.
Programming is one of those skills you can keep up with at your home in your spare time. There's no reason for your skills to "go down the shitter" other than lack of effort on your part.
Yeah, but unfortunately, it's not a full character creator, only a physical appearance creator. No stats, no classes, nothing but race and physical features.
Even so, it's pretty damn cool and saves me 15 minutes of dicking around on release day.
As Mr. Galton's attorney, I must inform you that you will be added to the list of defendents in this lawsuit due to your slanderous comments against his person. VA Networks will received a subpoena in the mail requesting your personal information shortly.
What's the power output, though? People aren't going to give up their petroleum-fueled cars if it means every trip taking twice as long. Not to mention the hazard you pose trying to drive on most freeways if you're not going 70 mph with the rest of the maniacs.
You're confused. Prions are no more alive than any other single protein. It's debated whether viruses are even organisms and prions are far less complex.
That would make for a great computational study... looking at aberrant ways a protein can be refolded from its original conformation. AFAIK most protein-folding simulations start from denaturized state and work from there.
Does anyone know if prions are quaternary structure protiens? i.e. complexes of tertiary folded proteins, for instance hemoglobin.
It's a very gray area, but I'm on the camp that considers it more of a poison. (i.e. substance with harmful effect on the body) Since prions aren't organisms, calling BSE/CJD/whatever an infectious disease is not entirely correct, even though it MAY be possible that consuming prion-contaminated proteins can "infect" you. The mechanism of how an ingested prion can be incorporated into nervous tissue, if at all, isn't well understood. Note that they were injecting prions directly into the brain of these mice, not feeding it to them.
However, poison isn't entirely correct either as poisons have a measurable dose/response effect and right now no one really knows how many prions it takes to cause prion-related illness in humans. It might just be one, it might be thousands.
Actually, if you bothered to read the article, you reactionary twit, you would have seen that there would have still BEEN a CD release, just that the iTunes release would have come first to try and trump the unfinished rough cuts.

Absolutely nothing is in their head. That's why they decided on a career of killing people instead of college or trade school.
I also represent Rosanne(tm) Barr, and you will now be sued for unlawful use of the trademark name "Rosanne."
Have a nice day.

Apparently you've never met any US military people. There is a pretty high population of losers and retards in our military, too.

How about upper range acceleration? The 0-60 times seem decent but what about passing speeds, how quickly can it go from 60-75?
