In my experience when the lab moves the students either (1) get a degree from old university or (2) apply to new university and go through the qualification process over. I would check again, before assuming it is your decision. I even know a case, where a 3rd year grad student at Yale was turned down acceptance into Berkeley grad school

Not to mention its potential impact on local groundwater:

While life expectancy has been consistently increasing in the modern era from 30 to almost 70 now, maximum life span has really not changed at all and stays at about 120 years. This true both for humans and laboratory rats, scientist are having difficulty increasing the maximum life span.

We are going to need a medical break-through in order to push 150 years, but it is a good thought experiment, I just don't see it changing dramatically this century.

The problem with research is that there is no such thing a pure random error. Time and time again, we develop methods that work awesome with random error. In reality, the error in the data is not purely random, but a combination of systematic and random error (that is not Gaussian), so it takes a trained eye to work through this. I would much preferred that they used real data rather than only fabricated data, then you can say that you have something.

As I teach in my biochemistry class it is entropic cost of not separating them that causes their separation, but I have yet to really wrap my head around this study. Nonetheless, here are some links to the original research:

We've known about deconvolution forever, the trick figuring out the path of the camera to generate the kernel for the deconvolution. In the TFV, he says we use the custom parameter file (that they probably spent months tweaking for each image), lots of computing power and TADA! unblurred image.

Microsoft had something similar a few year ago, where you have a blurred image and a second underexposed image to do the same thing. see paper here and examples here

I switched immediately after the fork and have been really happy. I had to use NeoOffice before because OpenOffice is completely unusable on MacOSX.

Linus complains about trying to open a second terminal in GNOME3, but the killer that caused me to switch to Xfce was Crtl-Tab switching windows. It groups my dozen terminals into one item and then I have to use the damn arrow keys to get to the terminal I wanted.

I went to CY-TAG at Iowa State (a spin off of CTY). Greatest experience of my life, I don't know if I would have made through junior high / high school without the friends I met there. It motivated me to become more intelligent that I was not getting from similar peers at home. I highly recommend sending you kids to nerd camp.

User are leaving Centos left and right, security patches are months behind schedule, Centos 6 is over 6 months behind RH enterprise 6, the devs are a closed group and will not accept help, and do there best to allienate the user base

While I agree with you, they are working on the openness. The now have a QA dashboard website that lets you follow the progress of CentOS 6:

Sounds like Google is starting to fear the progress made my open street maps... http://www.openstreetmap.org/

I think this was already done.

I find LibreOffice much more usable than OpenOffice.org on the Mac, but it still not to the point of reliable. Especially when it comes to mouse clicks.

I have also found that when I file a bug report on OpenOffice.org I get a response to clarify the bug or reject my bug, but with LibreOffice, I feel like my bug just sits there unread.

Oh, well perhaps they will get better in the future. At the LibreOffice community is will to make patches that improve the package, OO.org seems to reject any Mac based usability improvement patches, so NeoOffice was formed (but has been stuck at version 3.1 forever)
