I recently had my first baby, who came out a little premature. I was disgusted by the sheer volume of blood testing performed. The NICU staff did the normal, government-mandated tests, then they did regular blood testing every week to monitor her anemia. Somehow the NICU staff was "mystified" as to why my daughter's anemia was getting worse. I'm not a doctor. I am an engineer on a campus with medical journal access. With a simple model based on her estimated blood volume and the volume they removed for all the tests, I postulate that it was their excessive testing that put my daughter in the danger zone of anemia. Had they just left my daughter alone, I think she would have had the typical levels of Hematicrit and Hemoglobin. I think this dangerous, excessive testing was defensive medicine.
Diagnostic testing is specifically mentioned in many journal articles on infant anemia.
Many of the publishers are including a multimedia CD in the back of the book, which is pretty much useless. Perhaps this is part of their excuse for increasing the cost.
"The second is to integrate them into computer models of climate, something which is only just beginning to happen. "
A few questions about computer models of our climate: How many FLOPs of computing power do we need to accurately model our climate in a reasonable amount of time? Ok, assuming perfect parallel scalability, how much energy would this parallel computer use? So, in the end, how much heat, carbon dioxide, and other particulates do we put in the atmosphere by performing our computer model?
Yes, I'm tring to think of my own get rich quick lawsuit because I wasn't protected/warned from my own stupidity. Unfortunately, choosing to listen to loud music and choosing to spill hot coffee on my lap are taken. Darn!
Hmmm... Do car companies warn consumers about how it could be dangerous to sit on the roof of the car and attempt to drive with ropes and pulleys? I think I smell cash$
Yes, I know it is indeed very obvious that any.edu will work. And it is your right to insult others to your content. However, I think a lot of mistakes made by the casual user stem from not acknowledging the completely obvious, and I prefer not to grill a casual user for asking a Q or making a simple mistake. Why? Because doing so will probably lead to bigger mistakes by that user...
Cheers!
Yes, Mr. Oklahoma's "tirade" was ridicules. But the person you insulted wasn't making a "tirade", but just made an honest mistake. Perhaps if the computer literate (you) wasn't so rude, then maybe the computer illiterate would be more likely to ask for help before going on a "tirade".

How come there is no hybrid vehicle that is in the form of Diesel / Battery ?
They did. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Intrepid_ESX
1. Teflon coat a slope 2. Lower speed limit on said slope 3. Speed camera at the bottom 4. Profit!
Or...
1: Install red-light cameras at intersections with dangerously-short yellow light times
2: Profit!
This isn't a joke.
Kaylee: Although I'm getting some weird chatter on the the official two-six-two. Sounds like they're talking about... ducks?

when they outlaw loudly distributing music over the atmospheric network. Thus I will finally be able to get some sleep...

Please correct me if I'm wrong/confused, but isn't it a lot harder to be infected by a Sony-BMG rootkit if you prefer waves over bits?

Fair enough. I also give people crap occasionally.
