Norwegian hospitals use forms of penicillin which simply do not work on patients from countries where antibiotics usage is more lax. Treating a patient from Spain with the same penicillin which is used for Norwegian patients would not have

On top of that there has been heavy use of Python for longer than Ruby.

Same Chrome version but on Ubuntu 11.10 and it appears fine for me. No Adblock.

It has been theorized that Jupiter protects the inner planets from short periodic comets. The large gravity well of Jupiter makes it more likely that a comet falls under its influence, either colliding with Jupiter such as in the case of Sh

This is also a gem: With Google, we have a strong goal to push more development and understanding into the academic realm. Obviously I don't blame them for going the commercial route (though a world with the wikipeda of search could be ve

In fact, as of November 1997, only one of the top four commercial search engines finds itself (returns its own search page in response to its name in the top ten results). I've forgotten what the web was like pre-google so this is rather

Interesting has there been any research done into this application. I have friends who have a little bit and just fall asleep (am not sure the effect on myself as I can't smoke and no one has ever offered me a hash cookie/brownie).

Agreed, the tone and community here provide interesting discussion and insights on the really big turning points such as these. Comparably on reddit there is a lot of chaff to work through to get to the interesting kernels.

Certainly, but with a more balanced perspective available to his son (who may or may not succeed in any case) isn't it more likely than would be otherwise that he will proceed with reforms that see a lessening of tensions and bring about a

Why not? Certainly there are a large number of historical counter examples to that statement. The old guard dying off leaving more progressive elements in the leadership to bring on reforms in a country. The death of Mao in China and the tr

Hopefully this is the beginning of North Korea opening a dialog with the rest of the world. His air designate, his 3rd son is western educated. Hopefully everyone on the Korean peninsular can look forward to a safer brighter future.

Wordpress is pretty easy to get going with Nginx. Took me a couple of hours (max) to switch from Apache on my linode box.

Scott has been on this bandwagon for years. It has always confused me why he has concerned himself with this issue so much over the years. Certainly he is right in his thinking however the effort he expends on this continuing campaign seems

Funnily enough I have a mate working for them and he also says it is a great place to work. So much so I have finally bit the bullet and last month started learning Ruby so I can apply to work there. Being a Python guy for a decade I feel l

Fantastic, in a recent review of media libraries I did libvlc looked very attractive. However the lack of LGPL prevented its inclusion in the final selection which was a shame. Now of course we are 6 weeks down the track with a different li

A good % of me and my friends are all sitting on our hands and waiting as well. We're all about the same age as our parents were when they got their first house (late 20s early 30s). The prices are nuts, at least the market has flattened ou

Perhaps you would like to provide some of your reasoning behind that statement? Certainly in my somewhat limited experience coworkers who are friends generally work better together and are more likely to ride out the bad times. The theory g

Not sure how I can make it clearer but I will try. Because Europeans have an increased risk* of having the prion disease BSE they aren't ever allowed to donate. The reasons for this are a similar prion disease in New Guinea has been shown t

by hartror 15y ago
There is actually logic behind this. BSE is caused by misfolded proteins called prions[1] which also causes Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease[2] (CJD) in humans. One form of CJD is Kuru[3] which inflicts the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea and is li

No but for replacing quick hops trains make a whole lot of sense. Drastically less messing around at each end and train stations are often right in the centre of the city. Add to that the increased comfort a train provides and it is an easy

Luck would have it I ordered the Uno and it is due in my hands today. Plan on making a hot/dry bulb thermometer for smoking meat in my BBQ kettle. Then moving on to a PID for Sous Vide!

So far they've all been through job postings on local user groups or contacts. I've poked around Seek a bit but not had to apply for any there as yet. The rate all depends on what you are doing and what your experience is.

I second this sentiment but perhaps for not the same reasons. I work as a programming contractor on short term (3-6 month) jobs and right now the job market in Australia (Melbourne specifically) for coders with a demonstrable track record i
