It would be great to see what happens to this model of car.

It's very creative!
I'm not surprised at all at the things they come up with.
Since the brain is sort of like an operating system, it seems a crying shame that drs and scientists aren't working harder to make stronger OS's for our bodies through medical inventions to improve chronic pain.

I totally relate to this article. I have chronic pain. That must explain my brain fog.
"The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 9 out of 10 doctors agree that 1 out of 10 doctors is an idiot."
LOL
I have to agree!
That rep sure is cocky about how good their product is.
He needs to just get off his high horse. It's very arrogant of them to say such a thing about Linux.
The computer science industry is trying to attract women into the industry by looking at H.S. Students.
From USNews.com Exec Edition: One female junior college student noted of herself, "she was overwhelmed by her workload and regarded any test scores that were less than stellar as proof she didn't belong in a department that seemed to be a de facto boys' club."
"The industry has finally wised up. A lot of companies are saying, 'Let's work on this together. Let's get them [women] in the pipeline now and fight over [hiring] them later.'" p> "Students need to see people who've achieved successes," says Cuny, "and find out these are real women with real lives and problems."
"It's not that women are flunking out," Muller says. "They have less confidence."
High ideals. Now many in the industry are focusing on an earlier generation in grade school, where career dreams, and misperceptions, are spawned. According to the book Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing by Jane Margolis and Allan Fisher, girls--unlike boys--want jobs they believe can make a difference in society. But they don't view high tech as a key to that idealistic path. "They think it's what you do if you want to develop games or become a hacker," says Sterling. "They just don't feel it's relevant to helping solve the problems of the world."
"It's because they see the relevance of the field early," says HP's Johnson. "The issue isn't whether women can do the work. It's how this material is presented to them."
"We're trying to show girls that this is something cool and fun," she says, "and that we look like regular people. We're not weird or geeky." The National Academy of Engineering has also launched a website called "Engineer Girl!": http://www.engineergirl.org/nae/cwe/egmain.nsf/?Opendatabase, with jazzy graphics and job stories of fun-loving young female engineers trying to make a difference.
"If you want to turn out more usable products, you'd better get more women involved."
