Although the cost of the FTTP rollout is massive, the maintenance costs for fiber are significantly less than that of copper... so the telcos do have a strong incentive to roll it out.

Presidential Letter Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate March 18, 2003 Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:) Consistent with section 3(b) of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), and based on information available to me, including that in the enclosed document, I determine that: (1) reliance by the United States on further diplomatic and other peaceful means alone will neither (A) adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq nor (B) likely lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq; and (2) acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.

Both companies are extremely adept at taking cost out of their respective supply chains. Consequently they are profitable at price points their competitors cannot easily match.
Police in northern Finland have come up with a whale of a plan for stopping speeders: a police car with a harpoon. The car was developed by police in Oulu, 380 miles north of Helsinki. They're seeking government approval to put it into regular use. "We were fed up with not being able to stop runaway drunk drivers or speeders," said Oulu police Sgt. Markku Limingoja, who designed the device. "This harpoon will bring them to an abrupt halt with a bang and not a whimper." Unlike a traditional harpoon, the road version is not fired. Instead, it is mounted on the police car's front bumper and pursuing officers ram it into the trunk of a fleeing car. It locks into place with hydraulically operated barbs and the runaway vehicle comes to a halt as the police car brakes. Of course, the police car has to catch the fugitive before it can engage the harpoon. And some might consider the impact little different from a collision. Sgt. Limingoja admitted there would be some risk associated with using the harpoon. "There is a danger that the runaway car could jam on the brakes," he said. "Officers using the car will have to be well-trained so that they get a feel for it."

Build Your Own ECG

· Score: 5, Interesting
Congrats on what you've done so far...if you want to take the next step:
Higher-quality ECGs systems don't use generic op-amps, they use special devices called instrumentation amplifiers that are able to reject common-mode signals at the inputs really well. Turns out then when you place electrodes on the skin, the skin between the electrodes acts like a crude battery (we're full of electrolyte after all!) and you get a large, shifting potential difference between the two electrodes that can drown out the millivolt-range ECG signal.
Oh and by the way, the electrodes and wires will make great radio antennas (esp for 60 hz noise)! Check out the AD624AD instrumentation amp from Analog Devices.

Presidential Letter
Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate
March 18, 2003
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
Consistent with section 3(b) of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), and based on information available to me, including that in the enclosed document, I determine that:
(1) reliance by the United States on further diplomatic and other peaceful means alone will neither (A) adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq nor (B) likely lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq; and
(2) acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.

Get informed, my friend. It's not too late.
I think the major reason Fortran is used is because of legacy algorithms (and legacy programmers!)
If they are measuring vibrations generated by the AFM tip then they have a problem.
If they are measuring vibrations generated by the fluid bathing the cells (these are in vitro preparations, right?) how could this be useful?
I just filed a patent application myself. The basic fee for a small entity is $375. 10 * 375 = $3750, not a terrible sum.
If you take the time to learn how the patent process works, it is very accessible to non-lawyers.

The justification for Gulf War II was that Iraq posted an imminent threat to our country, and that Iraq was dealing WMD to other nations.
This has been proven untrue. What is difficult to stand is that members of the Administration knew this to be untrue before the war ever started.
I wonder if it is because the PhD program potentially has the hot research that brings in money and big-name professors...
