If a person thinks movie physics is the all knowing truth, we can only hope they try to emulate them. For all the rest of us that have a reasonable understand of mathematics and physics, we will just continue to enjoy the show.
They talk in the article about dna damage. One of the problems shadowing the classic theory of evolution is it happens so slowly how could the diverse range of organisms be a product of such a slow changing process. DNA damage also means dna mutation which could imply that during the same cyclical period DNA life on earth radically branches into new directions because of this newly introduced chaos at the DNA level. So although the theory is initially used to explain mass extinction we must remember it is only a cosmic trimming of dna based life, not everything dies. What remains could be the start of these new branches of more complex and unique life during a specific cycle.
We could have stumbled upon something that explains our very existence as a species.
I seriously have reached a point where I feel the RIAA is worse than organized religion. I seriously refuse to purchase any CD's at this point. They make me sick...
There isn't even anything to say about this.. cause it's just so past the point of logic and good business. They need to focus on what will make changes to the industry and allow more people to have a positive online music purchase experience. If I am at a coffee shop and I hear a song I like I may just go and purchase that song online. They are not focusing on the bigger picture... they are like bigots at this point. Focus on the positive not the negative... what you focus on is what manifests... this holds true in all walks of life.
Seriously, jobs come along day after day... it's just a place to go and code or do whatever... Stick with what you started, you did something cause you believed in it.
If your company can't do the research to figure out that you have done this with professionalism and heart than I just wouldn't work there. It's not like you did it on works time... I really don't get what their issue is.
I bet the inverse of all data on a windows 98 CD would run better as an operating system than most products M$ brings out. Hail the all mighty powerful quantum NOT... !!!:)
1-2 hours? Shit, I am a programmer and I seriously spend like 12 hours a day sitting in a chair staring at a screen. The entire time in the back of my mind, I am praying it is all over very soon. Haha.. actually I am 26 and after 6 years of coding I think I am gonna look into a new career.
So in a given month, I actually max out my yearly recommended quota of screen viewing - know wonder I look like Mr. Burns...
LOL hacking javascript lmao.. there are a billion different ways to do what he posted on his blog but somehow he winds up getting a free trip to Atlanta, shit they would fly me around the world for what i know:)
I hate unintelligent ignorance by companies pushing around the little guy. Just wait till I am done with their servers LOL.
This was the best zelda game that ever existed... it was darker and more scary then the other ones and just freaking bad ass..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWagcUQtUWI here is 6 minutes of bosses and gameplay:)
Seriously, the one thing i hate about game makers is they try to target to big of an audience... so instead of cool it's more like charlie and the chocolate factory scary LOL...
The only crime that deserves a death penalty should be spamming. They should be hunted down and have their companies and personal homes, cars and all possesions lit on fire and/or terrorized.
Seriously, in all honesty I would have a guilt free conscience after killing one of these fuckers with a sniper rifle. I actually think I would grow spiritually from the experience.
"Pluripotent stem cells provide the research community a springboard to launch numerous inquiries into the most fundamental processes of cellular growth and differentiation that underlie human development. Elucidating these mechanisms provides the foundation for the next generation of biomedical discovery. Such discoveries will be directed toward treatment of human developmental abnormalities, regulation of uncontrolled cellular growth associated with cancer, a source of differentiated cells and tissues for transplantation therapy, and a means to identify new drug targets and test potential therapeutics, among others. Realizing the fullest potential from this new stem cell technology for the American people deserves and requires further inquiry.
Stem cells are a research tool today; hopefully, they will also be developed into therapeutic products in the future. The issuance of patents on these new discoveries by the Patent and Trademark Office may not necessarily have an adverse effect on continuing research, provided that the patent owners devise a licensing strategy that will allow basic research to continue unencumbered while preserving commercial value. " full article
That being said, the question was,
"Should universities (or groups within universities) be allowed to hold patents and intellectual property while at the same time gaining donations and grants as an educational institution -- or for that matter government funds?"
The purpose of a patent is:
1. To provide incentives for economically efficient research and development.
2. Public disclosure of certain details of a device, method, process or composition of matter.
3. Prevent or exclude others from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the claimed invention
The entire purpose of a university studying or researching something like stemcells is to further our knowledge as a species. If a universities incentive of R & D is to further our knowledge (which can only be done by making public disclosure of this research), I fail to see why a university would even need a patent. The reason for grants and donations are because universities are not commerialized industry making revenue or monetary gain off their research.
Could someone please enlighten me as to why a university needs a patent on this kind of research.
"Actually, stopping when you feel better is a pretty good idea. The bug is gone, and the body will take care of the rest. The more time you expose organisms to antibiotics, the more time they have to adapt to it."
I didn't realize the world was so full of idiots. LoL.. i feel like their aren't words to describe the stupidity that exists on our little blue planet. The bottle strictly states, "take all medication even if you feel better" and some moron thinks, quote, "stopping when you feel better is a pretty good idea" hahhahaahhah... do the world a favour and by a shotgun. lmao.. i seriously didn't realize there were people that were this low on the IQ scale...
I mean, nothing is simpler than just downloading the song you want. =)
Until the musicians all get on mySpace and I can pay them directly, I will continue to pirate.
RIAA death.
The more the RIAA presses these bullshit lawsuits the less I feel the need to purchase a cd ever again. I now make it a point to download/steal any song that I require.
Haha.. the RIAA's actions have converted me into a pirate with conviction. I used to purchase cd's of my favourite groups, but I am not gonna lie... now I could careless. So what has changed?
Every article I have read in the past 5 years has been about the RIAA scrambling to ensure they treat their customers/market like criminals and/or shitty as humanly possible. So go ahead and jack up CD's to 30 bucks you schmucks.. cause your current actions have ensured I will never buy a CD for even COST (~1.00).
I hope artists continue to find more creative ways to move their music without record companies so that I can once again proceed to support them.
You neanderthal degenerates...
God, we sell plastic discs with art on them and human beings are going to jail because the RIAA doesn't have enough to build their sky-rises out of gold?.
Hahah... there is absolutely zero possibility that we are alone in the universe. The entire purpose of a solar system is to have giant gas planets on the outter rings to protect the inner few rings from debris entering into the solar system so that they planets most likely to harbour life have an even greater chance at this. Solar systems were built around creating life in the inner orbits - end of story. Now mulitply the potential of life in any given solar system by about a few billion trillion trillion and tell me it's an unanswered question.
Have none of you seen "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore?
Global warming is a huge huge issue. *HUGE* *FUCKING HUGE*
Out of like 1000 scientific specialists, ZERO debate the fact that we are killing our planet and impacting the climate at a rate that is nearly irreversible *YES ZERO*
If you had a globe that was 6.3 meters high our atmosphere would be about 1 damn cm. It's so so thin.. the more C02 the more the sun heats up this thin thin layer.. So are we effecting it? most fucking definitely.. i mean temperature and seasonal changes are being noticed all over the world and this isn't going to stop. The hottest temperatures on record all over the world have been all broken and rebroken in the last 15 years.. with the hottest occuring last year *YES LAST FUCKING YEAR*
We are a cancer to our own mother and she has a far greater immune system then we can imagine;) New orleans was just a touch in the bucket.. so keep ignoring it and being ignorant.. And instead of spending money to research the problem and having a vision, we can just spend it repairing mother natures damages till she kills us completely.
If you haven't seen this documentary, you should call in sick and rent it tomorrow. That's how important it is that every person on the planet see this movie today. PEACE

You just made my day.
It would be nice to have that kind of job security.

See that's why zelda 2 was so cool.. cause it was weapon based... lots of fighting.. shooting swords... down thrust jumps...
It was dark, and cool and it made you think.
This was the best zelda game that ever existed... it was darker and more scary then the other ones and just freaking bad ass.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWagcUQtUWI here is 6 minutes of bosses and gameplay :)

Nobody jerks off to thumbnails... oh and i know, I am an expert in this area.
lol.. ah lets make it plural then.. calm down and take a valium.
I hear his 10 page essay was on evolution.
