There are actually papers about getting more men into nursing, don't know specifically about the education/others though.

Is a captcha not enough of a barrier? I've never seen a website that actually banned @gmail addresses. I'm curious, and highly surprised.

I could have sworn we were talking about "email"

I totally have experienced the google-groups spam. I'm hoping this is a symptom of an improving spam service and this will eventually go away.

So what you're saying is that Google has decided to fully claim reputation-ownership of the mail their users are sending. They're staking their reputation that their users don't generally spam. If it was a big enough problem you would blackhole all of gmail, right now you're upset because due to the large volume that gmail sends, any percentage of spam is a problem.

I don't mean to attack or defend anyone here, just curious.

I think the deal is just that anything that comes through gmail needs a more heuristics based filter, and you can't just blackhole on the particular client. As long as the percentage of bad e-mails coming through there is lower than the percentage of good e-mail then the reputation system is working...

How much spam actually is originating through gmail?

How does one prevent a spammer from spoofing these headers?

I LOLed. I missed the AC's joke. You both(?) win.

That's a great point... We should make available a "time-locked" version of wikipedia. That jurors can browse and lookup information without risk of contamination for a particular case!

You've got options: 1. Get yourself cremated (or dumped into a volcano) 2. Make sure your body is dumped in a pig farm 3. Make sure your body is diced into pieces, and then dumped at sea 4a. Don't do anything noteworthy (preferably with the above) 4b. Do something so noteworthy that you are beloved. State that you must not be embalmed, make sure they plant some real plants above your grave, and make sure there's access for rainwater and natural light in the shrine that would be your tomb. This is a tricky balancing act as you need to be naturally exposed enough to decompose, but protected enough that your fanatic fans won't disinter you for totems (like they did for saints).

The relative statement in the article "age = 30 years" tells us less than "age = 30 years + 50million years travel time" -- effectively you need a second separate statement to get the same information. I guess I just preferred the information about the distance to be more local to the information about the age. I had to search to know if there was a chance humans would ever see it. It seems like 50million light years is just so far that it's unlikely something recognizable as humans will ever get to this black hole.

That was how I visualized it. The age (relative to our frame) was not 30 years, the age was 30 years + our estimate as to the distance of the ex-star from us.

Why does *our frame* matter so? If we posit that it is in a galaxy 50 million light-years away, we can conceive of the frame of reference that contains both, no? We know it took 50 million + 30 years for the light beam and its information to reach us. To me that's a pretty definitive age. Should I not think of things that way?

It was 30 years old, 50 million years ago. I guess the claim re: young black hole is more due to the age apparent in the images we're capturing now, then the actual age of the black hole.

Cookies!!!!!!

Android CPUs are pretty slow. I bet that + the rest of the platform's immaturity is what's hanging them up. Sure *technically* you can write your code in c/c++ but you end up having to personally import every damn library from the STL up.

Trick question, without deviating from the Millenium Falcon's route, it would still be something less 12 parsecs.
