It's controllable to a large degree: if you have failure rate data and PM program to replace or test critical components before they are likely to fail, you have controlled it to the best of your ability. If you fail to collect the data or act on it (for critical components), you're negligent.
I'll go further and say that I tend to move the cursor AWAY FROM where I'm looking so as not to be distracted by it or cover things up. They'd get a negative correlation with what I'm interested in from my cursor movement. But maybe they already know that.
Are you using it to scan them, or just for viewing?
Related: does anyone know an inexpensive way to scan 35mm slides? Doesn't have to be super high quality.
Assuming he meant qualitative analysis in the field of chemistry, which is the only field I know of that uses that term, qualitative analysis is not more touchy-feely than quantitive analysis. It is a determination of what species are present by a process of elimination and narrowing down until only one possibility remains. Nothing subjective, vague or wishy-washy about it. Just doesn't quantify anything.
Well, there are other places in the world like that. Take people with PhDs in high energy physics. Exceedingly rare, I'd say. Yet I can think of a place (or two or three) that is full of them. It's not hard to imagine.
I think it doesn't appear to disappear, it appears to be somewhere else. In the classic double-slit diffraction experiments that show the kind of destructive interference you're talking about, there is complementary constructive interference. The photons that "cancel each other out" in the troughs, add together in the peaks. Net result: same number of photons you started with, but formed into a periodic pattern.
Your last sentence - that's a key difference. The archival quality of Kodachrome. I've got a bunch of E-6 slides somewhere in my garage that I processed myself back in the 80's. I should pull 'em out and look at them one of these days. I bet they don't look as good as Kodachrome would.
I know "demand" is an economic term with distinct meaning, but when you say we *demanded*, what you really mean is, that company A offered a laptop for $900 and company B offered a comparable laptop for $700, and we reasonably (it would be stupid not to) chose the company B offer. There is a different sequence of events happening than is suggested by saying we demanded. There is a large demand for laptops, meaning if you put them up for sale they will all be bought, and compnay B *chose* to take advantage of the situation by exploiting workers in developing countries, without any suggestion or demand by consumers that they meet the demand in that way. Someone in company B, near or at the top, most likely, had to come up with that idea and choose it, not the consumer.

No. Negative correlation contains just as much *info* as positive correlation. It is a negative correlation.

Uh oh, you're not an SSD, are you?

"... cats actually do tend to respond well to sibilant names. So in this case, "Missy" is a name a cat is likely to respond to."
So, then, Sisyphus would be just about an ideal name for a cat.

OK, then reply to this comment with ten non-ASCII Unicode characters.
Ethiopia: first known people (?), first coffee, only African nation not to be colonized by Europeans, and now this! How cool.
!Yeah, that's an especially great solution for Spanish speaking people!

Prometheus...always reminds me of P.D.Q. Bach's Overture to the Preachers of Crimetheus.
This.
It wouldn't have prevented the blowout or the oil spill, but it might have prevented some or all of the deaths.

or, you know , a droplet of molten salt.
So why not go straight to 11? Then it beats OS X too, which has been stuck at Roman Numeral ten for-freaking-ever.

Funny stuff.
He said "most states". That is still correct. Oregon was an early medical marijuana adopter.
The erosion of freedoms corresponds to the move away from democracy, so the equation of freedom and democracy is not invalid.
