Too few people know. If you need a hospital, go to Good Samaritan - http://www.goodsamsanjose.com/ - Paul Buchheit

Just for some more data points, I've never had a problem at Stanford Hospital (specifically, ER). They've been relatively quick and professional. - Darren

"The new version of reMail downloads the entire contents of your Mailbox — every single message — onto your iPhone, which it then stores locally. That may sound undesirable for those of us with large Email boxes that are many gigabytes large, but the reMail team has done an excellent job at compressing data for its search index: Cselle says that they’ve managed to squeeze 100,000 Emails into 500 megabytes (most Email accounts are only a fraction of that size). ... Of course, the iPhone 3.0 software update finally introduced Email search to the iPhone, which may lead some people to wonder why reMail is even necessary. Cselle points out a few major benefits: for one, reMail’s search is around five times faster than the iPhone’s, and it searches full-text (the iPhone only searches headers). And reMail retains its full functionally offline, while the iPhone’s search often requires a data connection to search older messages." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Wow... This is an awesome idea! Gotta try it on my 32Gb iPhone - Susan Beebe from iPhone

Coincidentally, this is also why the War on Drugs is hard. - Kevin Fox

good article ..even though a little long :] .. misses some points - 1. human health is not a merchandise, a goods to trade in, just like human being is not ....- 2. human health care is a human right, at least in the developed world ... 3. wrong to state that there is no output, if we pay for healthcare as input - health care is THE BEST form of investment, makes country competitive,... more... - Petr Buben

maybe because evolution isn't the only force at work in the ecosystem. Just as evolution reduces entropy, mutations (and other such forces) increase entropy. And I think it's fair to say that level of disorder is increasing on our planet - Nagender Parimi

"For example, I didn't know how to find files by contents and the man pages were way too confusing. What did I do? I knew from experience that if I just asked, I'd be told to read the man pages even though it was too hard for me. Instead, I did what works. Trolling. By stating that Linux sucked because it was so hard to find a file compared to Windows, I got every self-described Linux Guru around the world coming to my aid. They gave me examples after examples of different ways to do it. All this in order to prove to everyone that Linux was better." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

If you think man pages are only reference, you have never typed "man perl". Some of them even have "tutorial" in the name of the man page. - Andy Bakun

"The human body can survive the hard vacuum of space unprotected, despite contrary depictions in much popular Science fiction. Human flesh expands to about twice its size in such conditions, giving the visual effect of a body builder rather than an overfilled balloon. Consciousness is retained for up to 15 seconds as the effects of oxygen starvation set in. No snap freeze effect occurs because all heat must be lost through thermal radiation or evaporation of liquids, and the blood does not boil because it remains pressurised within the body. The greatest danger is in attempting to hold one's breath before exposure, as the subsequent explosive decompression can damage the lungs. These effects have been confirmed through various accidents (including in very high altitude conditions, outer space and training vacuum chambers)." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

but, caveat emptor: the statement about myopia is misleading. In fact, close work during childhood appears to be a major cause of myopia (see, for example, the wikipedia entry on myopia). I wonder how many other errors there are in here that I wouldn't be able to catch. The list also includes some things that don't really count as common misconceptions. 'Koala bear' is a name for... more... - j1m

"there are natural push away / pull together cycles, even in long-term committed relationships, where one or both of the parties start to take each other for granted (just as the natural result of getting used to each other), and the relationship gets more distant, and then gets close again. This can also happen when something new comes into one person's life - a job, a hobby, a group of friends, a lover, or whatever. " - Clare Dibble

Gregory, I would say that there is also learning lost from not having one or more long term relationships. Time is a powerful context. - Clare Dibble

"We leveraged up and if you have a 20 percent fall in value of a $20 trillion asset, that’s $4 trillion. And when $4 trillion lands — losses land in the wrong part of this economy, it can gum up the whole place.” People should have known better but in some way’s it’s unavoidable with markets: “People should always know better. … I mean people — people don’t get — they don’t get smarter about things that get as basic as greed and you can’t stand to see your neighbor getting rich. You know you’re smarter than he is, and he’s doing these things, you know, and he’s getting rich, and your spouse is getting unhappy with you because you aren’t doing — pretty soon you start doing it. And so you get what I call the natural progression, the three I’s: the innovators, the imitators, and the idiots. And that’s what happens. Everybody just kind of goes along. And you look kind of silly if you disagree." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet
