Congratulations to F.D.Roosevelt Hospital, Slovakia on being today's User of the Day. It is great to see a hospital contributing to basic research by donating spare machine time. While your computers are not thinking about today's patients they are helping tomorrow's patients from all over the world. In my opinion you are setting a brilliant example here. I personally would like to see many more hospitals all over the world doing the same, even if it is to any of the many other bio projects if it is not always to Rosetta. Good work you guys! River~~ |

I'll second that. I will also admit to not knowing that Slovakia and the Czech Republic spit up in 1993. The most exciting occurrence, politically speaking, in Slovakia was a peaceful secession from former Czechoslovakia in 1993.here The things your learn :? |

You really ARE a hermit aren't you? Of course, I would never lie about such a thing. I sit in my cave doing R@H on my calculation machine that I made out of rocks, string and pieces of wood I found lying around. It's the internet connection that's the hard bit, have you ever had to bash Internet Protocol on a telephone wire with a wooden stick, not to metion the Hyper Text Transmission Protocol layer that I have to adhere to, lets say I know why the call it baud/bored rate :D PS. I picked up the hermit tag from my sister always saying "You live with your head between your knees", perhaps that should read "head in the clouds" , as I don't really take much notice what's happening, I'm far too interested in other stuff like R@H, I can bore people at twenty paces with the latest thing that I'm interested in. Case in point, I didn't know until a few years ago that socks came in different sizes, but could tell you the difference between hardwood (angiosperms) and softwood (gymnosperms), and ramble on at you with the different cell structures and how ... blah, balh, blah, And the ashes (what I like to think of as the bits that don't burn) contain blah, blah, blah. "I guess I'm an experiment of nature, I don't know if it will be a successful experiment or not, probability suggests that it will fail." - Hugothehermit. Just to quote myself :) |

No, rather Stonehenge (see also Terry Pratchett, "The Light Fantastic"). Works with solar and lunar energy, a great advancement. |

Technology has really advanced over the last few years. I'm always amazed. |
