PTSD is classified as an anxiety disorder. Neurofeedback has been used with other anxiety disorders, like generalized anxiety disorder, in the past with some good results. If it helps, think of the mind like a muscle. PTSD is like damage to the muscle that makes it twitch uncontrollably. Treatment - any kind of…

That's actually the whole idea - reprogramming a malfunctioning brain that makes it hard for its owner to live and function in the everyday world. Soldiers with PTSD can live tortured lives. 14 soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas committed suicide in 2010 alone. The rate of suicide for men in the Army and Marines is more…
Market influences are more complicated than just "more competition means lower prices." There's massive competition in the pharmaceutical industry (all of the 12 largest pharmaceutical companies operate in the US, as well as hundreds of niche labs), yet drug prices from 1996 to 2003 rose between 11 and 18 percent…
@ gmuslera That hasn't been implemented in a device yet that we know of, has it? While creepy, it's still not an indictment of iOS "doing what Apple wants it to do" relative to MeeGo.
*sigh* Yes. Not all metals are conductive. TheLolotov implied metals are heavy, which is untrue. Neither of us said anything about conductivity.
@Ethan Allison No shit? I said not all metals were heavy, because lando suggested metal things were heavy. No one said anything about conducting heat, ironically, which is not only obvious... it's mentioned in the article.
Not all metals are heavy, though. Titanium, aluminum, magnesium, lithium and zinc are all used specifically because they're lightweight. Lithium is one of the least dense minerals commonly found on Earth. Just sayin'.
Aluminum, titanium, magnesium, lithium and zinc are all not particularly heavy. Lithium is one of the least dense materials commonly found on earth, and is used in alloys to make aircraft bodies. Magnesium is used in car bodies to reduce weight and increase fuel economy. Titanium alloys are used to make jet engines…
True, but in order for the criticism to be apt as stated MeeGo would have to be able to do something they're either unable or restricted from doing. Or restricted from doing something you don't want it to do - like cacheing GPS locations, though we know that's done to improve load times, so it would be odd if the N9…
To be fair, though, both of those look like the stock Android app drawer more or less, and the LauncherPro standard app drawer... I mean... it's an alphabetical list of icons on a black background. It's not fancy, probably the most basic way to list applications available.
What do you want your phone to do that the N9 can do, but an Android, iOS or WP7 can't do? I'm not even sure what your criticism means... in what way does an Android phone do what Google wants it to do, rather than what I want it to do?
I used to live in Calgary, Alberta. Driving from Calgary to Edmonton you pass through a stretch of land populated almost entirely by pig farms... it's pretty awful. I'm sure the pig farmers got used to it (just like the people of Tacoma get used to their whole city smelling like a paper mill), but it was pretty…
"The real reason Doctors order the two types of scans is that sometimes the one scan will clarify the results of the first scan. It is rare, but when you have to wait 6 weeks for an opening in an MRI, they don't want to have to wait 12 weeks until they have all the results when they could have them in 6."
Several points in reply here...
I've definitely seen this happen. A verbal order is given for a chest CT, the nurse writes "chest CT" in the chart, then the ward clerk goes back and either asks the RN to clarify or calls the CT tech to tell them what to order - because the physician didn't actually order a specific test at all. Or, with TIA…
I think you're looking at it backwards. I think by enhancing the hardware platform they are trying to get developers to take advantage of the increased spec. Rather than pushing developers, though, they're trying to entice them. They have no real method of making developers develop. An unhappy developer can jump ship…
Ironically, what we're seeing now is a systemic failure of unregulated markets. You see, I'm neither a card-carrying Bolshevik nor a free-market capitalist. I'm a pragmatist who generally likes people. We've done laissez faire economics in this country, and that led to harsh working conditions, child labor, low wages,…
If you watch it fullscreen the glass on the left stays 21.0 degrees and the one on the right starts out at 20.9 and drops to 18.2 when he stirs in the powder.
It looks like it's made out of the inner lining of last year's rain coats - they had mesh pockets that looked a lot like the material of Chad's jacket there.
... McCarthy? Really? Worst. Idea. Ever.
