Oxidizing compounds (like H2O2) are one of the forms of "ammunition" the immune system has. Too many antioxidants in the body will make this weapon less effective.
Also, cancer cells are more susceptive to oxidative damage due to their generally higher cell division rate. This is also why ionizing radiation usually damages cancer cells more than regular cells.
it only takes about 30 seconds to think up ways to circumvent it, which is why they aren't permissible in court.
The reason why they're not permissible in court doesn't have anything to do with ways of circumventing them. It's that they do not work as advertised in the first place.
Everything else is just a matter of time. Impulse control + desire to achieve -> success in the long run, unless you get beaten up by people without impulse control who find you annoying.
Kind of. It can do the job well enough that using specialized audio processing hardware is a thing for applications that have additional requirements besides "needs X GFlops for audio stuff", for example where power is a big issue (e.g. hearing aids) or where ultra-low latencies are required.
And its all because of that damned stealth which cripples the HELL out of the aircraft! The ONLY advantage it gives you is on sneaking up, that's it, and in return for the sneaking up?
And worse yet, all them terr'ists that are the new enemy nowadays don't even have any radar you could sneak up on.
"Brand" reliability is one thing, but each model (or maybe even each lot) is made with subtle differences in the manufacturing process that can affect reliability.
Is there any data on models currently on the market? If I'm looking for, say, a 1TB drive that doesn't die within two years, which models should I be looking for?
If the seatbelts have nothing to do with the job, then you can't make the assumption that i would know all the machinery where a seatbelt could be used
Well, but it should be common knowledge that machines besides cars might have seat belts. Maybe they were looking for a candidate who asks for clarification - so that he can avoid misunderstanding with customers or colleagues. On the other hand, an hour-long discussion about seatbelts that concludes with "Oh, I meant on airplanes, not on cars!" would certainly be hilarious.

That's what I would guess. Endless loops don't qualify since they run for a long time, but they aren't run often (especially endless loops that don't do anything else).
You mean that fantastically overpriced machine that passed all regulatory requirements even though there are high school programmers who could have written less brittle software?
It's what happens when you have insufficient measures for product quality in place. As far as I'm aware, some of the newer regulations were partially due to these incidents.
Working without these measures will increase the frequency of such incidents again.
... is any researchers dream. Oh, and add ethical concerns to the list.
I'm sure medical research can be accelerated tremendously if it doesn't matter that people get maimed or killed in the process. If they're consenting, informed volunteers, that's okay, but those are hard to find.
Heck, not having to do all these bothersome safety tests would simplify my own work immensely. I could make "It compiled! Ship it! Ship it!" my new motto.
. If you want to get the same amount of calories from a hamburger
The thing is: You don't. You want as many calories as your body needs, not as many as you can get. Hamburgers are actually pretty good as far as nutrition goes, but eating 5000 kcal worth of calories a day in whatever form when you're only burning through 2500 kcal of them is one way to obesity.
On the other hand, if your funds are limited and you're facing the choice between running a calorie deficit when buying a salad and not running one when buying a hamburger, get the hamburger.
Some people will tell you they are the same, except for the candy coating, the packaging; but if that is true, then it means the huge proce differences is all because of that. That means they are lying to you about the real cost of healthcare; it's not the medicine that cost so much money, its the cherry flavor. Somehow I don't believe that.
It's not the cherry flavor, it's the brand name. Brand names can cost huge amounts of money on certain products.
On the other hand, it could be the active ingredients that are different.
The active ingredient should be listed on the label.
But if that's the case, then they really aren't the same, and you need to be wondering what you are putting into your body. What are the side effects?
You should be thinking about that whenever you're about to take any kind of medicine, actually.
He said the platinum industry used to sell almost exclusively to the military for fuses in bombs.
I guess a jeweler doesn't need to know what other industrial uses platinum has. It is an extremely common catalyst in the chemical industry (not just in catalytic converters in cars) and it is used in electronice (e.g. Pt100 resistance thermometers).
I haven't heard about its use in bomb fuses. What's it used for in a bomb?
Compared to Platium-group metals, gold has very few industrial uses.
But we can get updates added to the Geneva Conventions.
Which, as we all know from history, are always observed with utmost precision, do not contain any loopholes and fully apply to any armed conflict, not just wars between nations.

And you probably licked the knife, too?
Guilty, I say. Guilty as ****.

See ME-262 as another prominent example.

A: Insert the metal fitting into the buckle. Benefit: You don't fall out of the chair when the Klingons fire on you.

I'm sure if those "entrenched interests" weren't familiar with multi-million dollar lawsuits, they'd use cheap 3D printers to build prosthetics, too.
Oh, and might I interest you in a used Therac-25?

Stress causes increased food intake (in some people), and thereby increased fat storage.
