Nice post, however, I would not agree to this statement: "Anecdotally I do get the feeling that prostitutes as a profession are mainly serving an older generation though, so I'm not sure if they remain economically viable anyway.&

I am not into flying, but last time I was a passenger I remember that a helicopter engine needs a certain cooldown time after landing which could be around 30 minutes. In this time the engine needs continue running. My guess is that the ele

I agree: A bit more background information would be good. But I confess I am interested. I fooled around a bit with a nucleotide sequence of Homo sapiens mRNA for prepro cortistatin like peptide, complete cds.|len=368, as taken from http:&

Well, as research goes, $ does not guarantee to reach a specific outcome (it does help tremendously, though). But there is a lot work done nowadays when it comes to batteries, fuel cell membranes and solar cells - so let us hope something w

Sorry, what I meant was the TraceBack. It helped a great deal when learning programming and hunt those nasty bugs: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/wuschel/Desktop/error-track.py", line

(Confession: I am a novice to clojure/scheme/JVM myself.) I admit that I have not tried kibit yet. However, LightTable/REPL is a great tool for this endeavour. If only clojure could have an error tracking report that would be

I find LightTable to be a great tool when it comes to get a first impression of clojure. Installing, configuring and getting the grasp of emacs, or configuring Sublime Text with SublimeREPL can be a lot of hassle under Windows based OS. Lig

Yes, the potential and kinetic energy of the oceans is an amazing source of energy. I hope a 'rigorous 3 year' testing program is sufficient to justify a large scale deployment of these platforms in different habitats. They do men

There is a difference between using a chemistry set to learn something about the world through analytics and creation/change of matter, and to play around with it. I agree with csmuk wholeheartedly that it is the supervision that count

I am sorry - this is something I do not understand. Where is the problem in deflation? You can always pay in fractions of a bitcoins, e.g. nanobitcoins, picobitcoins, etc. There is not really an agreement in the ivory towers that a limited

As always, university press super hype press releases without any useful hyperlinks. This must be corrected: Lit: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2493486 http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/200902

Agreed. I love those fluff words like "breakthrough". It sounds like "Blitzkrieg" to me. It is amazing how much clueless re-reporters can dilute the information density and usefulness of the initial abstract.

Happy to see more alternatives to Gmail. I am still using Gmail with the old HTML interface, as the new one is cluttered with all kinds of stuff I do not need. Stay with KISS, when it comes to functionality and interface, with optional int

Hi hershel, thanks for your links/lit. I was not trying to to stomp down any intiative towards employing 3D printers in chemistry - on the contrary, I find these are very interesting tools that I was watching with envy in my final year

Hello XorNot, I remember having read some papers regarding the modification of InkJet Systems for combinatorial chemistry. But papers are always one thing, out-of-ivory-tower application another. Do you have any contact details? I could not

I like the idea - although I would like to point out that there is no such thing as a 'general' reaction container in chemistry. There are automated reaction/deposition systems that are used in combinatorial chemistry. Many o

Depends which elements you want to recover. The main problem is the economic aspect of recovery - this is due to the fact that one has to collect the materials from a multitude of electronic devices and bring them through a chemical purific
