They'll probably pick *prime* examples out of the areas, trying to find the genetic norm for the population, then weed out what may be "normal" in the problem regions. In other words, it looks like they're searching to redefine the ranges of "normal"
Has that been declared Fair Use, or is it just as illegal? Because, if it is something they'll go after me for anyway, I'll stick to downloading screener copies as they come out. Same quality, without the wait or the need to buy physical disks.
I'm betting you didn't RTFA (usually I don't either, but this one was too good to pass up. It even had a pretty picture-diagram). They briefly explain why this classification system is important.
Important Discovery
"Kinship says a lot about shared traits. Our findings can be important in many fields, such as in the study of the development of life and in the manufacture of new medicines" says Shalchian-Tabrizi in an interview with the University of Oslo's research magazine Apollon.
"Our knowledge of organisms and the development of medicines are often based on comparative studies across species. It is, therefore, essential that we know the relationships between the largest groups in the great diversity of eukaryotes," he adds.
The research group has, for example, found that brown algae and silica algae, and groups of single cell organisms like the malaria parasite, marine foraminifera, and the green sun animalcule (acanthocystis turfacea) actually belong to the same group. Previously, these species were thought to be completely unrelated.
Fewer Events
"The Tree of Life tells the story of life on Earth, and our research can say something about how quickly life developed. Our discovery suggests that there were fewer big "events" than we have previously assumed in the development of higher life forms. The more we know about the branches on the Tree of Life, the more we can find out about life's Big Bang, the beginning of life on Earth," says Shalchian-Tabrizi.
"By digging down into the historical layers with the help of phylogenetic reconstruction, where we can find out about kinship between organisms at the genetic level and we can find answers to questions about how new traits developed. We are working, in a matter of speaking, with genetic archaeology. In this manner, we can also discover the cause of the Earth's biological diversity," says Jakobsen.
Emphasis mine, of course.
Nope, I was talking about SlashDot - the Anonymous Cowards who scream "the blacks are taking over the country," and then go on to post stupid stories that repeatedly use the N-word.
How long till I can get a "#000000" on Super-Black tee? Or, a full body-suit so I can be the best Hide-and-Seeker ever! ...I must make plans for a ninja vs samurai LARP!
ps:doesn't this seem like the perfect article for those racist ACs?
Go visit Lourdes, France, where thousands of miracles have been reported, documented and examined by skepticists who have been unable to find any explanation for them.
Are they falsifiable occurrences? Are they repeatable occurrences? How trained were these "skeptics" in the sciences involved & Was that training from accredited institutions? Is there direct, first hand evidence that the occurrences actually happened (other than eye-witness accounts)?
If you have answered "No" to any of the above, your (unreferenced) claims have no meaning when placed in the same sentence as Science.
as far as logic is concerned
What does logic have to do with science? Common sense is logical. That does not make it scientific - or right.
I'll respect any theory or idea enough to examine it. Hell, I may even believe in it. That does not make it scientific or true.
Because they're in high school. If you let them to name the comet now, you'll only get suggestions such as "The Big ASSteroid" or "Your Junk" (I can just hear it now - "Your Junk is soo small, you need a telescope to find it"). I'm sure they're just giving them enough time to mature.
Well, it helps if you know what you're looking for in the first place. Then you can spot things that don't belong. Do some research before you attempt to report, though, cause anything that you can see through a backyard telescope has a high probability of already being categorized.
Have you heard of this thing called the web? You can "scan" your images, and "post" them on a "site" for all to enjoy.;)
If people like you, they will donate some money for your time and effort, and you can also sell add space.:)
What I'm saying is, just because it has remained a hobby does not mean that people wouldn't enjoy you sharing that hobby. The main thing that turns me off of a web comic is lack of updates, but you seem to have a back-log stretching to the 70's!

I talked about nothing, only typed. They way I figure it - if you have to be told *verbally*, you shouldn't be going.

As a twenty-something, my first reaction would be "they're on to me, it's a trap!"
Followed quickly by, "I could just trade them in for money at Zia's."
Obviously, these being teenagers, I can forgive them for not thinking far enough ahead to have the second thought.

What do you expect when the content producers are the ones producing the news content?

oh, forget it already! I think this meme is tapped.
I have Anosmia, you insensitive clod!

Where do I sign up for the human studies? Can I choose to be housed in the filtered air cabin?
Not that I would be adverse to living in a smoggy hell-hole - so long as they pay for room & board and "collect" my sperm on a regular basis.
If by "disappear" you mean disband, only to have the exact same people start up another, less publicly hated, organization.
My only real hope is that they decide to be less evil in their new incarnation.
I do not think it means what I think he thinks it means.

I blame my fat for being fat.
Seriously - it puts out a chemical that stimulates my appetite, and makes extended exercise very difficult.
He must not have heard of the Wii ;)
...I feel stupid saying this, but...
In English, please?
Man, I was gonna try a joke based on the whole "number of the beast" bit, but I just found out that it actually isn't 666.
...now, to find the owner of TRUE evil!
Sorry for hating you all these years, AC.
Complaining that /. is "breaking" old news? You must be new here.
