You could also start by contacting a professor that does research in the field. Not all of them would be interested in helping, but I think my advisor would entertain the idea if someone off the street approached him with something interest

No, actually I submitted it knowing that the paper had been retracted, and was stirring up trouble. The down votes are perfectly reasonable in this case. I do appreciate the defense though as some times is is hard to tell which posts were i

I have heard of this, and I think that is probably the only modern reason for blood letting. I think there is a similar condition in people who get frequent blood transfusions.

It probably just creates a slightly acidic environment. All you need to create stem cells from adult human cells is a weak acid. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v505/n7485/full/nature1...

I agree that the FDA would be a good place to start. I only know people on the Drug side, so I am not sure who to have you talk to about devices. I would start with Josh Simms who is in charge of Cardio Devices in the Division of Manufactur

Being able to right click and open different offerings in new tabs would make me much more likely to look around. Needing to click on one, and then back out and select the next slows down my workflow and makes me more likely to give up and

West Point has (had in 2004) a blind programmer that I think worked in the foreign language department. His story was that he was an olympic swimmer that lost his vision in an accident with a rowing machine. I am not sure how he read the co

What would happen to your posts and threads? What if you are successful and I want to delete my account in 2 years. Will I be able to search and find out if its possible, or will I need to start a discussion like this one?

I have been very happy with Republic Wireless, but I am considering Ting because I am an Apple Fanboy. Black wireless looks very good. I am not sure I how I missed them before now.

I think it will take a while. Right now I can StackOverflow my entire project, and it will be a little while before I can do that with Swift. Seriously though, a lot of developers will try and keep it around as long as possible because of e

It is an interesting problem even in some areas that are not too remote. My parents are within 2 miles of the nearest cable or DSL connection, but it might as well be 100 miles. The spent a while considering a 50 foot tower for a line-of-si

One contractor I worked with recently (hardware design) billed every month or $4k which ever came first. This works well, and keeps everyone aware of how costs are adding up.

Am I the only person that thought the shape of the metal inside an LED was a significant part of the function? I am sure if I thought about it I would have realized that it is just support for the silicon. I guess I never thought about it t

Your reasoning for the 2" wafer surprises me because most semiconductor work scales well, and the cost to buy and process larger wafers is only slightly more expensive while the surface area is much larger. A 6" wafer is 9 times a

Do most kernel programmers start out working on their regular daily-use machine? My only experience is with an embedded linux environment, and I would probably recommend starting with something like a RPi so that your environment is easy to

It is impressive how local the results are. Comcast is rated as HD at my house (Natick MA) but SD at work (Boston MA). I use RCN which performs well in both areas and costs much less.

My favorite example of using a lens for a FT is creating a dark field image. You just put a small beam block in the center of a pupil plane and block all of the low frequency components. You end up with bright lines only at the edges of thi

The macs from the refurbished part of the Apple store are great deals, but please stop telling people. They already sell out quickly, and the prices will only go up.
