1 of 1B - [pre-cancerous cell] to [normal cell]

1 of 1M - [false-positive cell] to [cells tested]

So, given my poor stats background and guessing what that means...

1B - cells tested

1k - false-positive cells

1 - pre-cancerous cell

-->

20T - ALL cells tested

20M - false-postive cells

20k - pre-cancerous cells

Exactly. Goldman is off the hook for sending it and the 4 bankers are off the hook because none of them officially sent it.
Wouldn't a keyboard with keys that light up be better and easier?

I can see upper middle-class parents getting this for their kids who think they want to learn to play guitar.

This tool lowers the barrier to positive reinforcement, which is key in continuing any activity.

Living in the upper midwest US, 16k USD would probably give me a 16-month window. That's for a 1-bedroom apartment @ ~$500/month. Living in a 3-Bed w/ 2 other roommates would take it down to ~$300.

Brutal winters, though..

Re:A web-based Excel/database hybrid on Friday May 11, 2012 @12:25PM (#3959983)
I didn't stop reading, but it feels like too high (for lowest tier).

I think there should at least be a FREE tier which allows 1 or 2 forms. Once someone sees the value, they'll jump for more.

I understand that textual data is light, but 250MB seems quite low given current costs of hard drive storage.

Why the user limit too? Your costs seem to be in data transfer/storage.
