Normally if I feel I'm slogging my way through an article I'll be reading it in the NY Times. I've had suicidal thoughts before when I've come across a 'next page' button at the bottom of one of their articles.

environmental hoopla . I'm stunned by peoples' capacity to be so casual and dismissive about issues of such magnitude.

What is patentable about this? I don't understand what is novel about it.

I agree. By read, I mean what you state in your correction.

I initially hated the book. I though its attention to detail was anal at best. But if you took the time to read it all, it really did cover a lot and I felt that I had a solid and complete understanding of the concepts (not a feeling I get

Congratulations and welcome to the club. I was rejected too and to be honest I think they made the right decision. When I applied 5 years ago I definitely wasn't the academic they were looking for. Anyway my point is just that I wouldn't pu
