Thank you for saying this. I agree. I don't agree with violence against the Westboro Baptist Church for the "God Hates F *s" protests at military funerals, but if they were attacked I'm not going to go so far as to say,

Potato, wheat, rye, and other vodka bases are definitely distinguishable. It's not 100% ethanol post distillation. Vodka just takes a lot less of the heads and tails.

Well, as someone that drinks both, there's also a lot in common. Obviously the peating & the resulting tie to the terroir is a little less important, but there are Solera process rums that are top tier spirits for 10-20% of the cos

I certainly think the Japanese single malts are already giving them a run for their money. Hard to say, "already" when they've been making good product for a century or so... but this year was a pretty good reminder: http:&#

Why are so people so fast to trust a new compiler? Have you audited that compiler's source and building the compiler from it with a known good compiler? Are you inspecting the resulting .pyc, and in this case, the resulting PEs? It&#x2

What you are doing is "victim blaming". It's not Sony's fault. It's not the theaters' faults. It's not the lawyers's faults. It is the fault of the people threatening violence against moviegoers. edit

A resume is a list of qualifications, and to see how a candidate frames themselves. They also set expectations for me, the interviewer for the questions I would like to ask (they say they're a Node and Clojure expert? I will tailor my

edit: I'm replacing my entire previous comment about the superiority of ct/pet-ct vs *mri scanning; it looks like some groups are doing work with MRIs that are comparable in accuracy and nearing clinical use. I still think daily w

That's an insane amount of radiation, and would substantially increase your risk of fatal cancer. A single CT scan is roughly a years worth of normal radiation exposure, and then targeted to a single area of the body.

You have a better physics background than me, but it seems like the Philae mission would be particularly concerned with weight because of the velocity it had to achieve. Considering it took 10 years to reach its destination, maybe the shiel

Upon a quick read, none those are not particularly cause for optimism. By far the most important one is the organ vitrification (for the impact it could have on viable transplants) and it wasn't very promising at all. The ALS article w

As long as pressure, osmotic balance, pH, etc are in balance then it's not going to cause cellular trauma per se. Regardless of the fluid medium, a bigger problem is absence of oxygen is going to start the process of autolysis after ce

Thanks for the 4 downvotes so far. I have a formal education in biology and my points were correct. Sorry about the tone. I guess we're valuing style over substance now.

From a purely technical viewpoint, parasitism is always antagonistic/bad. If not, it's called mutualism or commensalism. Not disagreeing with your real point, just being pedantic. edit: to biomcgary, two points: first - i was taug

This is about energy transportation, nothing about energy supply. The silicon is produced using solar power in this article. You could just as easily put it in a flywheel, put it in lithium ions, or use it to reduce sodium and burn the sodi

Why is it wrong? It's exactly the reason anti-trust legislation exists in the first place. Monopolies have more pricing power and scale, so all else being equal they are lower credit risks than smaller companies. Since they enjoy an ad
