exactly! age has very little do do with when you introduce kids to video games or anything else for that matter. there are younger kids able/mature enough to play video games than much older kids that really don't have the maturity/skill to play. being dead set on a certain age is just another lazy and ignorant excuse parents use to justify their lack of involvement in what their kids are doing. "You can't play this game until you're 12" is another way of saying "I don't want you to play this because I said so."
A better question would be how exactly is this even happening? for the recipient to have taken on the immune system/blood type of the donpr there would need to be some way for these cells to develop in the first place. in other words, stem cells that can differentiate into such a complex system. knowing what caused it and how we can suplicate the effect if it did indeed occur in this manner has unimaginable potential for treating disease.
yes and the nice little bar graph on page 16 entitled "side by side comparison" shows that although there were more bugs found in other OSes, Vista had about the same number of un-patched vulnerabilities as XP while Ubuntu Linux having the least out of the OSes examined. funny how all of this was spun to make it look like MS somehow managed to have a more secure OS isn't it?
Specifically, she wanted to redirect our scientific efforts from focusing on outer space and focusing on Earth, and more specifically, underwater exploration.
something tells me that isn't the least bit likely. The temptation to spend the ten billion a year NASA uses on something entirely useless to science and the world as a whole is too strong. Meanwhile, we'll still be in Iraq for some idiot reason spending money 100x the rate the space program has and doing nothing but killing and seriously p---ing off the locals. The benefits to science and technology from the space program are worth a lot more than the cash that is put into space programs. Never mind the resources outside Earth just sitting on comets and asteroids, think of all the data we've gathereed from space about the Earth and the universe billions of light years away from Hubble.
except that they could just spoof the captcha like they did with porn websites. captcha page => spoof captcha page so user solves captcha for program => "hack" succeeds.
it depends on what you're going after in regard to categorization. three domainss: eucaryotes are cells with nuclei where as procaryotes are cells without nuclei with the third group being archea because of the large genetic and structural differences in comparison with bacteria [eubacteria]. although you could also classify them into archea+eubacteria [from the now defunct monera (5 kingdom classification)], protista, animalia, plantae, fungi under the 6 kingdom classification
this has nothing to do with email consuming disk space, this is about the fact that a lot of people who use email at the work place don't bother to clean up their emails. they already have a copy of everything said beforehand, so they don't need to clutter the next one with the entirety of what has already been said. Their spelling and/or grammar should be expected to be readable by another human being. Private emails are casual, work emails OTOH should be more professional.
Most of us are fine! It's not until we get into the "bacterial hand lotion" kicks that I see my peers dropping like flies...
sigh.. the most common active compound in antibacterial soaps, lotions etc. is Triclosan. It is rather disturbing to see it used as widely as it is because of the risk of selecting for triclosan resistance. it's a never ending arms race, we make new antibiotics, they develop a way to inactivate or efficiently pump the drug out of their cells. the only thing that has a real chance at keeping up with the bacteria in their arms race are bacteriophages. they infect specific bacteria and kill them, evolving along with them for millions of years.
The scientists still want the virus to replicate in order to study it, so they developed monkey kidney cells which contained the protein needed. Because the cell was providing the protein, and not the virus itself, it could only replicate within those cells, and even if transferred into a human, would be harmless.'"
apparently this is also an area of cancer research as well. cripple a virus so that it can only live in cancer cells and let it destroy the party. vaccines are created from deactivated viruses, breeding the viruses in an environment where their ability to infect human cells is no longer an advantage eventually leads to a weakened form of the virus, specifically crippling viruses OTOH may be far more useful in this regard. it's also a way to make sure the virus stays confined, if it needs a certain component only found in a lab setting [GMed cells with a particular enzyme for example] it would be that much harder to do any real damage even if it did escape.
I wasn't suggesting the use of DRM I was suggesting that they encrypt their data and only give the key on a need to know basis. that's responsible, DRM on the other hand is stupid.
you assume I was ignorant of this, I was merely pointing out that there exists a system to keep those who don't have the key from decrypting the data. I didn't say *anything* about DRM being an option because as you said, DRM is the combination of encryption and the hiding of the key which is stupid on many levels. What I suggest is that if you want data to be unreadable by people who shouldn't have access then you must encrypt the data and keep the decryption key available to only the people you want to have access- hiding it in software doesn't work.
how about an asteroid base? they require less fuel to go to and return from and they have plenty of cool stuff that the moon doesn't have... like frozen water, diamonds and precious metals [iridium, platinum, gold etc.] the moon OTOH has relatively strong gravity compared to an asteroid making leaving the moon far more difficult. the lack of anything usable like nitrogen, water or carbon also make the moon a worse place to set up a base. it would need o be constantly supplied from Earth while asteroid bases could in principle, be fairly independent.
right, another thing about 3d mice is that generally they're less precise- just clicking things can move the cursor elsewhere. really at this point, they're novelty items that don't really do a better job at anything compared to a 2d mouse. maybe 3d mice working in a "3d" environment like 3d design but not 3d in a 2d environment, that's just silly.
you must be new here. Dupes are not just the editor's doing although the editors really should google things like this it is ultimately other slashdotters that vote stories like these up in the firehose. No matter how many dupes happen on slashdot, people still vote up duplicates of stories probably because 1) no one googles them and 2) a lot of our fellow slashdotters apparently don't visit the site enough to know a dupe like this one.
As more and more people start demanding organic foods, the non-organic foods will drop in price because demand drops
therefore organic food prices will rise thus making the high profit margins from organic foods even higher. the industry is effectively making a lot more money touting foods without "chemicals" in them than they would otherwise. Thus there has been a large increase in the shelf space devoted to organic foods as well as a weakening of the standards for organic food production. so basically the only real difference in the end is the price.
License fees dont begin to cover the real cost of software. You need to have an IT department to support it, you have to train users on it, etc
yes about that, do you have any examples where the license cost justifies staying with MS?
But it really is foolish to factor licensing fees into your decision about what software to use from a cost perspective unless those fees are truly exorbitant.
if you're going to count support and training into the equation you can't just ignore liscense fees now can you? considering a lot of businesses require many licenses the cost of this alone can add up quickly. As for training, you're reasoning seems to be that if it isn't exactly the same as MS it will cost boatloads more and that's a load of ****.
more like a one stop shop for anyone who gets hold of the list on whatever server myspace is going to be using to make all of this work. emails that work no less, perfect for spamming and anything else you can think of.
While I can appreciate the ability for those inside of the big Hollywood blockbuster to create decent effects, let's not lose sight of plot and character.
fixed that for you. Hollywood's plots aren't any better just because they have more money, in fact I suspect that because they have those kind of resources they can and do get away with a weaker plot. Hollywood needs to have competition from amateurs.
tell me again how GNU works without copyright, I'm curious. the GPL's are all copyrights, BSD same thing, the only reason why you can modify and copy any of the open source code is because of the specific copyrights that were applied, otherwise there would be nothing preventing people from closing up the source and leaving you high and dry.

Ford's sales dropped below Toyota's in the US and now they make it even better by attacking their own customers. What could possibly go wrong?
didn't they call it "HAL" or was that another robot assistant? What do you think you're doing Dave?
IE can run certain plugins, just not nearly as many as FF can. moral of the story? don't use IE.
yep, utterly pointless considering you get 100x the range with only a 8% decrease in transfer speed.
