I wonder what data they based their report on? I think it is widely understood that the OPEC countries are all overestimating their oil reserves. You see, their quotas are proportional to their reserves. The larger their reserve, the bigger their quota, the more oil they are allowed to sell, the more money they make. So they have a strong incentive to lay claim to more oil than they actually have.
Also, did anyone notice the graph? Supply plateaus around 2030. Yet the demand curve goes straight up. Hello? Doesn't that mean oil will peak in 2030?! (And the graph even included alternative sources like liquid coal).
Judging from the comments, it seems most/.ers are missing the point of the article.
Researchers are trying to find a way to *counter* the ill health effects of zero gravity. But since it is too costly to send test subjects up into space, they are simulating the effects by having them lay down all day. They found that the resulting health effects to come pretty darn close. From the article: The amount of oxygen the men's bodies were able to use optimally during cycling tests declined by 10.4% in the astronauts and by 6.6% in the bedrest subjects.
Neurons transmit electrical pulses from the head to the dendrite. So if you attach the dendrite to the chip, the electric pulse will carry over into the chip. The tricky part is in the attachment, which they apparently solved by gluing the dendrite with a conducive protein. The other tricky part is doing it without damaging the neuron itself.
So if the moments predict the zeros, and the zeros are prime, then why couldn't Reimann backfeed the primes into the equation and calculate the moments?
What's the use of using a sequence of numbers to generate primes anyway if it took 85 years just to get the 3rd number in that sequence? Computers are way faster.
My wish list:
I want a button on my tv remote that will control the lights.
I want a button on the tv that makes the remote chirp.
I want an automated system that will lock all windows and doors at 10pm everynight so I don't have to lie in bed wondering if the door is unlocked.
I want a switch that will open/close all the curtains in the house because I hate walking to each individual one. And make those insulated curtains. Better yet, put it on a timer linked to sunrise/sunset.
Finally, I want motion-activated lights in hallways and storage rooms because my husband keeps leaving the lights on.
I didn't even know eBooks existed. So maybe the *problem* with them is a marketing one? But other than that I am open to the idea. I spend time online reading news, so reading an eBook can't be any harder on the eyes. But if the price of an eBook was anywhere near the price of a real book - no way! I'll stick to my free news thanks.
This seems like strong evidence against placing young babies in childcare. Gould herself documented that depriving newborn rats of their mothers for 3 hours a day permanently inhibited their brain. But yet she went back to lecturing 4 days after giving birth?
Of course outsourcing benefits both countries involved. Same way trading benefits both parties. Can you imagine what kind of dark place we'd live in if we never traded with other countries?
Maybe AOL thinks its profits will go up if all its users are on broadband, rather than half broadband half dialup? So does that mean the cost of maintaining a plethora of dial-up lines is more expensive than maintaining broadband? Or do they think that sooner or later those dialup customers are going to switch to broadband, and that damn well better be AOL broadband?
Actually, the vast majority of muslims DO denounce the violent acts. But for whatever reason that doesn't make it into the news. Most clerics have denounced the violence as unislamic, islamic organizations have put out press releases condemning the acts, and local imams have been preaching their congregations to follow the prophet's example of treating insults with patience. But apparently all of that is too boring to get shown in the news compared to the excitement of a minority of people who are burning flags and rioting in the streets.

See? Video games really do improve eye coordination!

Not to mention the term "blue screen of death".

I think the most interesting finding was that 10 mos olds link names to what THEY are looking at, not what you are pointing at.

It appears that United Press International has attempted to "jump the shark" by putting out a story with a catchy headline, but little meat.
