You don't always intubate when someone's under general anaesthesia - it depends on the person, the level of anaesthesia needed, the anaesthesiologist's judgement call of the risks of intubating vs not intubating, the type of surgery and len

In a similar vein is S.M. Stirling's Dies the Fire series. While it requires some suspension of disbelief, especially in so much as being able to accept the premise that certain technologies suddenly cease working, it's an enjoyable 'what i

Your numbers are way out. Disney has a market cap of $87B and that gets you Disney, Disney Theme Parks, ABC, ESPN, The Disney Channel, A+E, Lucasfilm, Industrial Light and Magic, and a hell of a lot more to boot. News Corp has a market cap

And Apple can afford to buy content creators outright. Without any mention of deals having been made with movie studios etc. the whole article is nothing more than a pipe-dream.

I'm on both side of the fence there. I'm more than aware that most doctors don't have the training or background for serious data analysis, but all the doctors I know who are doing research or trials that rely on serious data analysis aren'

Medical Journals tend not to be interested in publishing 'negative' result papers. I can see why to an extent - they're not of particular value or interest to the vast majority of the journal's readers. They are however exceptionally valuab

Ben Goldacre's Bad Pharma ( http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Pharma-Companies-Mislead-Patients/... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bad-Pharma-companies-mislead-patient... ) covers some of the same ground. He's a physician who writes mostly about bad s

And, potentially, mental health - though the variance between people is huge. While my grandfather (mother's side) was mentally as sharp as he'd ever been when he died at 92 and my 94 year old grandmother (father's side) still plays bridge

I think that Diplomacy is a rarity as being a Board Game which actually plays better on the internet and by e-mail just because it gives you that bit more time to think and plan and communicate. If you're a fan, then I'm actually running a

Take a look at VASSAL ( http://www.vassalengine.org/ ) and the games it supports - between that and Dropbox, I find that playing turn based games over the internet is made a lot easier. How many of you are there? How much complexity and/or

His G+ says he lives in London so it's pretty unlikely he's using AT&T! Other than some slight differences in coverage, all of O2, Vodafone and EE (aka Orange + T-Mobile) should be roughly equivalent when it comes to not needing any twe

If you work on sufficiently large projects or in enterprise there's a high cost in switching stacks even if a particular project could be done better in a different technology. When all your software runs on the same stack, or on a limited

There is almost certainly a hell of a lot of Fortran and COBOL floating around as well. Most of it is likely at retail banks where things centre around end-of-day processing runs and batch processing.

My rule of thumb these days is that the smaller and more obscure the hedge fund, the more likely it is that they're using an unusual set of languages. The more PhDs they have, the more likely they're using something weird like K!

And F# in the financial world, along with Scala. Other Functional languages are being used more as well, but since a huge amount of financial software sits on either a .Net or a Java stack, using FP languages which can easily interop with t

Except that early stage intervention tends to mean that less invasive techniques can be used. Removing a small cancerous lump might only require keyhole surgery, while in later stages it might require significantly more invasive surgery. Su

ADSL supports up to 24Mbps down in the UK - assuming that you're (very) close to the exchange. I could theoretically get that with my old ISP, were I not 1.6km from the exchange. Cable supports up to 100Mbs down (at least I'm pretty sure th

I don't necessarily disagree, but it's possible that they were talking about the rate of descent at the point of impact, rather than the the rate of descent over the whole course of descending from cruising altitude to landing.
