I find it funny when people go on about stem cell research and how it's always promised it will be around the corner, 10 years away.
Stem cell research only had enough potential for the public to get excited about about 10 years ago, and now, about 10 years latter their has already been amazing successes using stem cell treatments, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. it's makeing steady progress, and it's the most amazing medical advancement since the concept of organ transplants started looking like it might be possible.
I wouldn't be suprised if part of this was pressure from quebecious sepratists who are upset french people are downloading movies in english instead of going and buy french dubbed dvd's.
it would work, how complicated is it to point a solar pannel towards the sun? All the current portable compact solar panels you have to point at the sun. and I don't see why it would be anyworse then any other solar panel with it's cloudy, you can still get some power on a cloudy day if it isn't to cloudy.
I think this could have a lot of potential for consumer level portable solar panels, all the portable panels avaible for back packing and bicycleing and whatnot are pretty crappy right now, but this would allow compact sollar devices to be a lot more feasible I think. Also you could remove the lense and use it as a fire starter.
They make money because this doesn't kill the bacteria, it disolves their biofilms and lowers their resistance to anti-biotics, so if they invest in harvesting and processing sea sponges for this substance, and trying to figure out how to synthesize it, they are profiting off the selling of the sea sponges, and an increase in sales of anti-biotics to follow up the treatment.
It's funny that phage medicine has been demostrated to be very effective to treat antibiotic resistant bacteria, yet it's never been adopted in western medicine. But something comes along that works in conjunction with anti biotics and it's hot stuff.
Fucking pharmasutical companys.
Try visual pinball, it models ball spin, and is by far the most realistic pinball game ever. Also you can get pretty much every pinball table ever made, It's fun downloading the old school pinball (and various other mechanical games) that are way before my time.
their was a jumpman version and a wizard (some ripoff of jumpman) that had a level editor.
Also I totally forgot about visual pinball, this is by far the epitomy of the pinball game genre.
Im really excited about this news. It's nice to know developing nations are on their way to ICBM nuclear arsenals. I figure the more people with nukes the better because nuclear apocalpyse is awesome.
I already got my sand goggles and tattered leather jacket ready.
Do you have any idea of the kind of balls it took to be a part of this team? Under intense time pressure to work with previously theoretical isotopes that just might save tens of thousands of American lives?
And you judge them? You, with the heat on, comfortable, probably overly fed.
What. A. Putz. You. Are.
Nuclear isotopes were treated with quite a degree of reckleness for a good many years. Also I don't think they were any more heroic then anyone else who assisted with the war effort, although unlike many they were establishing for themselves quite a lucrative career. The men working in coal mines to supply energy to head up the war effort we far more heroic then a bunch of scientists getting paid handsome salarys to do what they like to do anyways, ground breaking science.
I imagine they will start packaging peoples ashes to be jetisoned into space, im sure that would be popular for a lot of vain people who have grandiose funeral plans.
So 'terrorists' must now suffer the inconvinience of retreating from the view of cameras to talk about terrorist stuff, and everyone else's conversations in public are recorded and monitored by the government.
Brilliant.
I always imagined that the GPS network must be very vulnerable to attack, any nation as industrialized as say china could probabbly fill orbit with enough shrapnel bombs to destroy the bulk of the satellites around the planet if they put the resources into it.
what did people do before GPS? Well theirs a few things, but most of them don't fit in your pocket. land navigation is extreamly difficult, I spent a good part of my child hood/early teens practiceing land navigation, and I wouldn't ever want to rely on it for anything that requires great precision or speed. Also celestial navigation relies on a unubstructed horizon and clear weather obviously.
from the sounds of this system it seems fairly vulnerable to tampering and interference. I wonder if you could use sound freqencys transmitted through the earth to triangulate a position.

A third of a mile wide? They really need some higher standards for moon qualification.

I hate the french. I don't need to know what im talking about, I just need to know who's french, and that is sufficient.

we should put the magnets on canadian geese so they can't find their way into jet turbines.

Now they can make the worlds smallest animatronic singing bass fish.

Man cords aren't really that bad unless you suffer from down syndrome or something. not bad enough to warrant this type of effort to escape them.
