    So, who's getting a WD Raptor?

    Yes, if I also add a SATA controller.

    Actually I left the whole endeavor cause I had much studying to do and clinics to attend. No, all this time I wasn't trying anything else than reading a few lines of Essential Pascal by Marco Cantu. But believe, I tried to find some titles of "beginner's Delphi" but there nothing is out there.

    You know, I think you're right afterall. I'm studying to be a doctor of medicine, not a professional programmer. I don't have aspirations to stress Pascal to its limits... Yes, VB is a hell sum of bad habits but afterall it's those MS Office applications I will need to trim to my needs. And...

    Microsoft Programming Languages

    This is my main problem. The few titles I found about learning from zero were intended for too-old versions of Delphi. I don't assume that it changes a hell lot, afterall only the advanced features do really change from 6-to-7... but this shows a programming language that's not "suggested" for...

    Could anyone link me to book titles of Delphi for beginners? A quick search on the 'Net and Amazon didn't give me any good results. There are only books about experienced (or even guru) Delphi users out there. Nothing simple for beginners. When I mean simple I mean a book starting from basic...

    Car Accident

    Cliptin, you relaxed certain muscles. However you knew of the imminent impact, didn't you? I'm sure you didn't relax abdominal or vertebral muscles. I even know of people who release brakes just before a front-to-back impact because they don't want to ruin the car's headlights. :-?

    The UN will become a real organisation* when nobody has veto and there are no permanent members. All in this world are equal, but some are "more" equal than others... doesn't make sense, does it? *That day I'll be willing to lower my national/EU flag for a UN flag.

    Babies are another issue. Let's not forget they have relatively large amounts of adipose tissue in respect to their total weight. Don't get me wrong, I've heard these allegations too, but actually the internal damage to the body is worse if the muscles aren't rigid enough to absord some of the...

    And I'm not impressed by your cut&paste posting of the Influenza-virus history.

    Hehe, you're right. It all started by a post of mine somewhere further up where I speculate that the Antivirus companies produce the antivirus-definitions along with some viruses as well! I believe the same happens with pharmaceutical companies. In the name of profit, they're not really...

    Nice links Adcadet, but may I remind you I'm a med student myself?! I admit I didn't "know" the history of the Influenza virus back to 1918, but bear with me, ALL diseases can be eradicated with good control and right vaccination the right moment. I could go on and do the search and post you a...

    The drug IS ALWAYS ready by November-December. And it's ready to counter most strains of this year's influenza BEFORE it even breaks out. In our post-industrial world, elders make a great part of the population. And vaccines cost you know. Someone has to pay for the research you know. As you...

    I'm not saying that they release stems of Ebola virus purposely, but this usual thingy of the mild winter-time flu (and the usual vaccination of the elders which means lots of $$$...) is a little bit... too weird. Moreover, sometimes drugs can be made with an easier and simpler manufacturing...

    It depends the debris. And if they touched it before the announcement, it would have probably been also very hot by the re-entry.

    Space Shuttle Columbia Lost During Reentry

    I doubt they are ALL toxic and to that extend, Coug. I believe it was more of a goverment-idea to steer away unwanted attention (and stealing of high-tech know how, yes, even from debris!) and to be able to reconstruct the last minutes before the accident. And that needs obviously all the...
