Typically the first testing in humans is done in patients which have already failed multiple therapies (relapse or resistant), eliminating the ethical quandry that they would have had a better response with conventional treatment.
You think it's bad now? Wait until your city enacts this and really pushes for the sanitation guys to start bringing in some money. No matter how good you are at sorting beforehand, you will get caught by that odd piece of metal or plastic that somehow ended up in the garbage.
So how much is the fine for putting trash in the recycling bin?;)
Either you're the best, or you're not - and your funding will reflect this. You obviously either don't work in science or you have the fortune to be in a lab of one of the 'big dogs'. Science is just as inbred with who you know and who's ass you kiss as any other profession. Having someone you go out for cocktails with regularly really helps in getting grants funded if they're sitting on your study section, for example. Science, unfortunately, is not as objective and pure as most people believe.
The specs seem to be a little behind the times (at least for the 15" model). Considering it's being touted as a multimedia notebook, I would at least expect a higher resolution (ie 1440x900) and probably a discrete video option.
It surprises me there isn't more bad press on eBay. I recently had issues with someone obtaining my login information, changing my personal information and then bidding on ~$4000 worth of cell phones, dvd players, etc. In the process of undoing these purchases (in which I won't even go into detail about how many infuriating "live chats" _that_ took), I spoke with a PayPal tech whom I asked how this happen without being phished or replying to shady spam. He proceeded to tell me this occurs *all the time* by 'hackers' who extract information from browser cookies. I'm so done with eBay and PayPal. Good Riddance.
From a balloon fetish website:
Balloon fetishists, who also call themselves looners, balloonophiles, or loonatics, get off on blowing up and/or popping latex balloons. Some looners actually have sex with the balloons by sticking their equipment in the nozzle (obviously, you have to be male to pull this off). Others enjoy putting balloons inside their clothing.
Ridiculous. All relevant papers since at least the very early nineties have been available electronically. In fact, many papers of any sort of importance since the 1950's have been converted to PDFs via scanning/OCR. Check Pubmed.
Mod points but I'll bite.
How can you possibly compare the Xbox 360 and the amount of 'quality' games they have (oh wait, didn't I see a BK commercial w/ 4$ xbox games?) when they've been out for a freakin' year and the other consoles have been out roughly 2 weeks? Garbage.
I believe the problem stems from the earbud headphones more than the player itself. Something to do with the proximity of the eardrum and the speaker, wereas the old walkemans had normal headphones (but I'm almost sure they were 'louder').
All this talk about multi-function is great, but battery lilfe will continue to be the limiting factor. I hate the fact that my iPod dies after 10 hrs and my cell phone after 2 days -even without using airtime. I just want a cell phone with a 7 day talk time, a one month standby time and how about working on making them *waterproof*? You can keep your cell phones with games, movies and 'itunes' (like 100MB is giong to do me any good?)
Interstingly, the same points that you use to argue against biology are the same reasons I could see it becoming the 'next big thing' (tm). The power of IT and the internet in general have been (and still are) basic driving forces between researchers for the last 10 years. Biotech (by definition) neccesitates the use of IT - bioinformatics, online databases and collaborations through email, websites and BBSs are currently used, and will be increasingly used in years to come. And in terms of social change, etc., science has proven itself as an impetus for such change to occur. Innovation in farming methods and health sciences in the last 50 years alone have had tremendous impact in socioeconomic situations of many developing countries, and hopefully will extrapolate to low-cost solutions for less fortunate countries as well.

Ouch! My grammar hurts.
Yeah...because I'm sure they all personally pay their own cell phone bill.
Try WICD...I've found it to be the best network manager for Ubuntu - it even supports WPA2. You can check out the how-to here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834&highlight=wicd Mike

Mod parent up please
I have absolutely no idea why so many people are complaining about Linux laptop support. 2 Words...suspend & resume
Lois, the boat is just a boat but the mystery box could be anything...it could even be a boat!
That's how I read it too...must've been the comment about a 13 year old girl

Dell XPS 1210 (12.1") with a 256MB Nvidia card can be found for $889 at the Dell outlet...
I think you mean very phishy..

I doubt investing in Nintendo would make you rich as its privately held...
Isn't radon an _inert_ gas? Hard to believe that that it could spontaneously decay...
