Patients of the company probably know that they be guinea pig, which won't be
much consolation if the come down if cancer. Stem Cell Medicine does need the safety
testing, it won't be until thousands have had it and aged, till we know how safe it is. I hope
safety fears don't put people off research stem cell, almost all of us, could potentially
use it to slow the aging process. There must be ways to test for damaged cells, and
perhaps even engineer for reduced rates of cancer in the cell lines to be transplanted.
17. There is no clear way to blend two standard websites together, but it's obvious how to blend two streams. You simply shuffle them together like two decks of cards, maintaining time-order — putting the earlier document first. Blending is important because we must be able to add and subtract in the Cybersphere. We add streams together by blending them.

This guy is half way to inventing my Feed Distiller, except he didn't see the usefulness of similarity filtering to some source, to keep the stream on topic.
Its not exactly new that organic molecules and precursors of
life exist in the Orion Nebula. Radio telescopes have found
them since the sixties, and the Orion Nebula is an especially
easy place to detect such compounds. Still the Herschel
satalite, can view Nebula in unpresidented detail.
Thats interesting news to me, that Alice was a statire on maths, and i'm
not sure i believe it. But at least one scientific hypothesis, that of the red queen,
has been named after Alice in wonderland. The red queen hypothesis, is
"For an evolutionary system, continuing development is needed just in order to maintain its fitness relative to the systems it is co-evolving with."
Named of course after, alice's meets with the red queen, where she has to run as fast as she can, just to stand still
I'm a physicists too, but Ockham's Razor hasn't been proved, from Wikipedia:
---
In science, Occam’s razor is used as a heuristic (rule of thumb) to guide scientists in the development of theoretical models rather than as an arbiter between published models.[4][5] In the scientific method, Occam's razor is not considered an irrefutable principle of logic, and certainly not a scientific result.[6][7][8][9]
---
I've actually had a good look and Ockham's Razor from the point of view of information theory. See, my blog. The trouble stopping the Razor been robust, is finding a fair language to express the scientific theory in a minimally small way.
Not surprising, the web is an evolved system, stuck with backwards compatibility to ancient browsers. The GUI layers
is even worse than you stated, because these days its AJAX and javascript hand written on top of the CSS. JSP
is actually nice compared to all the other scripting languages.
I have to agreed. The more libraries you know, the more powerful you are, and a better programmer you
will be. A good library will let you program in ways you simply might not of thought of. A recent example
i found blocking queues in a java.util.concurrent. I wouldn't have thought of building a library to do that,
and previously I was just polling a list. With the queue system suddenly i've saved lots of CPU time
and at the same time, built more robust code.
A good ammount for scientists to celebrate, its the inverse of the fine structure constant, the strength of the electromagnetism.

I'd love the Shuttle to continue, and some new launcher to take its place, but
I can't realistically see it happening with so much US debt at the moment.
Of the Ares launchers, presumablely the Ares I would be the one to stay,
but its heavy lift launchers that the world is short of. Plus there is the
spectre of another Shuttle disaster hanging over any plan to extent
the shuttles life span.
A tumbleweed rover, would stand still, at some odd angle for
weeks between storms, then get blown so fast, all the picture
would have motion blur, (unless they put a very fast camera in it).
But it would be great for weather sensing because it would
detect every gust of wind.
Yes, a good site map, lists the last changed date for each page. Google reads
the site map for each site first. So the above Author is right the PUSH system
is already integrated into sitemaps in the last Modified and changed attributes, and no new protocols or hubs systems are needed.
Cheap readers means that internet book reading is coming to the internet, this is
going change the book industry completely. I've blogged about some the changes that might happen.
Hard Disks have risen in density so far, that
tapes and optical drives just haven't kept up.
I should use a RAID 6 array of the disks with
the best bits per buck score, probably 500GB
right now. If its very important consider have
a copy server with the disk colocated at a rack
space provider.
If not black hole jets then the astrophysicists next bet
will be annilihating Dark matter. The symmetric LSP
light symmetric particle has been a dark matter candiate
for some twenty year. This gamma ray job could be
LSP's annilhating but only if the have the gamma rays
match with the galactic halos.
The internet is too powerful, for governments, to leave alone.
This is especially true of governments which would like to
control the thoughts of there populus, but even for the most
Lazze Faire governments, the chance to control the internet
industy must be highly tempting.
Sound two much like copper. But of course Copernicus was such champion
of science that he well deserves a element named after him. Elements 110 and 114 are special numbers of protons. So with the right number of Neutrons an
isotope of Coperniclum may be somewhat stable. Most of the Elements
heavier that 100 decay in milliseconds. The right number of neutrons is something
like 184, so its Cp-296 that is golden target to look for. So far nuclear scientists have not come anywhere near making an atom that neutron heavy.
By Habitable they mean habitable by some
life forms. A claim made for any place that
happens to have liquid water in it. Since
Enceladus has occasion steam, water jet
out pooring doesn't mean it has a steady
warm inner ocean, like titan is thought to
have. I just read on Scientific American the
latest results on the surface and interior
of Titan. Titan has very good conditions for
life, and since its so close to Enceladus, and
the whole saturn system, is so full with
minor particles, its easy to imagine life starting
in Titans ocean, and getting carried to Enceladus.
I'm not expecting anything much bigger than
a microbe though.
A selection of best practices. To call php+css+html a best
practices is bizarres, its a popular choice, but doesn't mean
that other programming languages of choices aren't better.
Clearly HTML is required for any web page, css is option but
it has more power over layout. PhP is one of many equally
efficient scripting languages for the back end. Personnally
i find jsp much more powerful. No mention of Ajax, does
the smashing book (silly name), do any of that.
When learning languages i completely missed out on Python, i learn't perl and php, java and C and even Occam and Fortran. But no Python, are the any advantages to the snake named language?
Depends on the load rate of course, and government aid, 30 years is about the
payback time for many solar power projects which are in fact going ahead. Hopefully these Fuel Cell people can get the prices down to 5 year payback when they've had enough orders.
Haven't found anything friendlier than Ubuntu, which seems
easier than even MS windows to install. It does have a few problems
though, i don't like grub having half a million kernal versions on startup,
and its can be a pain getting the best resolution out of usually screens.
The X configutor changed completely between 9.04 and 9.10, and i'm
still trying to get it to work at few resolution on my laptop. But it seems
generally stabler and more user friendly than Windows to me.
We, the Australian Library and Information Association, Google, Inspire Foundation and Yahoo! agree that Australia needs to take effective action to ensure that internet users, and particularly children, have a safe experience online.
The statement i would sign would be that internet users deserve, freedom and privacy, and protection against Quango's Megacorps and goverments, at all times.
