Because once you get Chicken Pox once the virus hides in your nerves. FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
And if you get under enough stress, or are otherwise weakened, it will emerge in the sinister stage two: shingles. Which *is* a serious disease.
Getting the vaccination prevents you from having a ticking timebomb living in your nerve cells, but still gives immunity to it later in life.
Always? Excellent. So if there's some unpatched vulnerability in your network drivers, which has not yet been publicized, clearly it's your fault if some black hat exploits it and gains root access to your computer.
Actually, my understanding is that he suffers from Parkinson's syndrome, which is not the same as the disease proper.

Head trauma *is* correlated with the onset of Parkinson's.
Past episodes of head trauma are reported more frequently by individuals with Parkinson's disease than by others in the population. A recent methodologically strong retrospective study found that those who have experienced a head injury are four times more likely to develop Parkinsonâ(TM)s disease than those who have never suffered a head injury. The risk of developing Parkinsonâ(TM)s increases eightfold for patients who have had head trauma requiring hospitalization, and it increases 11-fold for patients who had experienced severe head injury.
Am I the only one who finds it pretty funny that college students still use MS Office instead of OpenOffice? You'd think they'd enjoy the choice before they get stuck with Office 2007 at their first professional position.
Heck, I'm still using Lotus Wordpro. It's not like there have been any major advances in word processors.
There's not a much redundancy as you'd think with the double and triple coded amino acids. Different codings for the same acid yield slightly different shapes to the overall protein.

It's optimal.
Can I get a citation on that? I've heard of it several times before, but have failed on finding it...
Stem Cell regeneration is a dead end. Instead, what we need to do is find the genetic differences in the MRL strain of mice, and use gene therapy.

I live in an area where a lot of hydropower is generated, and it has a very definite negative environmental impact. We locals pay for it in many ways.
Personally, I'm more concerned about the earthquakes caused by hydroelectric dams. Like the Three Rivers dam in China, for example.
All that water weighs more than enough to make a difference.

Well, except in the area of memory usage.
Or even something simple like:
S0rry, my keyb0ard is missing a key. Which 0ne?
Did you mean the DMV or the Postal Service?
Tom Cruise already tried it. Apparently she's fireproof. http://youtube.com/watch?v=I4jo6KkFfIc
The US government, at least, doesn't do industrial espionage.
Why aren't you complaining that the meaning of "geek" has shifted away from "someone who bites the heads off live chickens as a sideshow attraction"?
Excuse me, but real programmers use butterflies.
I believe that even in the free software movement, "Hypothesis Contrary to Fact" is still a logical fallacy.
Why don't you list the things he's actually done instead? It's still rather impressive.
Typically the speakers aren't stolen... just fake or low quality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_van_speakers
If I recall correctly, they tried that in the USSR. It didn't work.

Not really. Obsidian surgical blades have that distinction, what with monomolecular edges and all.
Open the executable directly, don't use the shortcut. It crashes in fullscreen for me, but won't do so in windowed mode.
>You go through and find the necessary chemicals to activate the various parts of the immune system.
Actually, you should have said
You go through and shoot the necessary chemicals to activate the various parts of the immune system.
Actually, it is. Random doodles have the same "fractal characteristics".

Flip them sequentially. Make a decision tree.
An upstart? Trying to destroy Gore's legacy?
I suppose the internet is unprotected while Gore's off riding moon worms...
If you wanted to be really pedantic, you would have spelled "controlling" correctly.
LA's been like that since the pioneering days. Back then, though, it was just dust.
