  1. Re:A bit misleading title (MOD PARENT UP) on Alzheimer's Progresses Faster in Educated People · · Score: 1

    No, this study says that if you do get Alzheimer's Disease, and are more educated, you will have a faster rate of cognitive decline. It does not say that people who are more educated are more likely to get Alzheimer's.

    Whew. I'd be okay, because my name isn't Home. :)

    You can't honestly believe that malnutrition in Africa (or anywhere else) didn't exist 100 years ago.

    I think I'll go surfing on dubious websites for a few hours without a virus scanner or a firewall, because I don't really believe that computer viruses exist. You can't prove that I infected other users from my address book. It could be something totally random that caused their hard drive bits to flip. This whole computer virus thing is just a conspiracy designed to sell useless software and spread fear.

    In two years, I will graduate from medical school and treat, without predjudice, patients who might believe as you do. If you should become infected with HIV and acquire AIDS, but refuse treatment, I'll wish you well. But if you should have a change of heart, then I will use my conspiracy-driven science to help you to the best of my ability.

  12. Re:Teaching basic programming on Google Adds Widgets to Homepage · · Score: 1

    The common consensus among us students in college (back then) was that if you had a choice between teaching an introductory class in Java or C/C++, you do C/C++. The reason is that Java is relatively simple to pick up after C/C++, but C/C++ is very difficult to grasp if you haven't had to touch the low-level details of memory management.

    Hey. I resent that Emacs remark.

    Depends whether you do this:

    Gaim, but the output might be less than thesis-level quality.

  16. Re:Easy, heres one with a 2 byte wordsize: on A Solution for the Ten Letter Acrostic Puzzle? · · Score: 1

    That's a lot more possibilities than you need.

    Just preprocess a set of known dictionaries and extract all ten-letter words. Add an option of prefixes and suffixes. For every word in that list, take each letter individually and search through the dictionary for words beginning with that letter. Check the result after each letter to see if conditions are held.

  19. Re:Another Ipod/apple advertisement for no reason on iPods Used for Medical Images · · Score: 1

    Try carrying said laptop around with you in the hospital wards all day. There's a reason why tech tools that are relatively unpopular among the masses, such as PDAs and Tablet PCs, are huge in the medical field.

  20. Re:dont complain on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and look how many PDAs are being sold compared to iPods.
