``This sequence may be the Rosetta Stone for deciphering the human genome,'' Thomas Kornberg of the University of California San Francisco and Mark Krasnow of Stanford University wrote, referring to a slab of stone, inscribed with the same story in three different languages, which allowed archeologists to finally decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics.
I work at another biotech company, Rosetta Inpharmatics, which doesn't do exactly what Celera does, but also involves genes (Gene Expression analysis and storage, etc). But it is nice of them to advertise for us!
But i don't think that the fruit fly is going to be the Rosetta Stone anyway, because from what i've heard, there are no wild type fruit flies left anymore. They've been used so much in genetics research that you couldnt find a natural fruit fly if you looked!
But just because i'm a programmer in the Computational Biology group doesn't mean that i actually know anything about biology! (i dont!)
Check out "Perfect Screens" for a good virtual desktop environment. I got it a couple years ago, and have been using it ever since. Very very handy. I have it configured to autohide at the top of the screen (like the windows taskbar) and have ctrl-left and ctrl-right hotkeys to cycle through them (but thats not much of the features it actually has. check it out:

You are missing the point here. As other people have said, the media has totally latched on to the wrong thing. This wasn't the actions of the whole little group, this was the actions of a couple (maybe few) totally messed up individuals. If a Slashdot poster goes out tomorrow and guns down 10 people and the media gets a hold of the knowledge that he's a member of slashdot, what will happen? You better believe that everyone here would be shunned by the media. Not because we are all bad, but because we had one bad apple. The media would do the whole Slashdot = EVIL, geek = dangerous, smart people= bad people. Just like they have in CO. Look at some of the discussions here! Insults abound. Some people hate Katz, some people hate Star Wars, we generally say what we feel (and sometimes it isn't very pretty at all).
In the article above, people are being shunned and mentally evaluated for saying things like we say here every day. Now that is sick. And people here with no clue just say the whole group is bad, i don't feel sorry for them... You should. Because once people start losing freedoms for wearing a trench coat or listening to MManson or playing Doom or Quake, we've started on a long slippery road.
When you stop defending other people's freedoms, where are you going to be when they start restricting yours? You're going to be up a certained un-named creek, because there are no free people left that want to defend your freedoms.
I was just thinking the same thing! I have one of the bigger toy R2's with the little opening doors on the front you can stick little removable arms into, and i was trying to figure out how to get him apart so i can add some lights or motors to him... that would be so sweet!
The whole point of the M$ anti-trust trial is to determine wether M$ has an unfair advantage over it's competition in the market place.
No, that isn't the point.
Yes Microsoft is a monopoly. But it isn't illegal to be a monopoly. It is illegal to use monopolistic powers to hurt consumers.
The focus of the trial is to determine whether Microsoft's actions have hurt consumers.
On just that merit I'm not sure if this case is sound.
I never once was prohibited from going to netscape.com and downloading anything. IE never tried to stop me, Microsoft never tried to stop me. Netscape was never prevented from selling/giving its browser away free. I don't see anyone complaing about MSPaint or the Calculator or Wordpad, and these are all bundled with the OS and have commercial equivalents.
All the politics now surrounding this case have mad the whole point totally obscure.
Vadem has a neat psudeo pda that would fit into a category of its own... smaller than a laptop, but bigger than a palmtop, the screen can flip over and lay on top of the keyboard to make it like a tablet... i'm not sure what the resolution is, but it could probably be used for the same kind of thing.... looks pretty cool to me... $999 though...

I belive that Lion's intention with that statement was: ...employees working long hours, often with little or no overtime pay.
Some of these people are working incredibly long hours, or "on-call" hours for a salary, not for overtime. If I was going to be expected to work 60+ hrs per week, I'd want to be paid for extra time/work too..
I don't know where you came up with the idea that people shouldn't get paid...

Working for a company that makes millions of $$ selling emulation software, i'd have to say that the GUI of choice for "mainframers" is a WinXX solution. Many of these companies depend on their mainframe and AS400 databases for survival! Training thousands of users how to use a dumb terminal just to look up somebodies insurance info is just crazy these days! They use windows, have their Mainframe app's brought to the web or have custom front ends and macros/etc to make it easier to use.
The mainframe AS/400 world is nowhere near dead.
As someone who was in the same classes as Lion, we made fun of mainframes and cobol and all that when we were freshmen in the CS program... how many of us are now working or have worked for places that use mainframes every day? of my close friends that i graduated from UMD with? ALL OF US

I had the same problem with mine a few years ago. I had to edit eepro.c, and in the first couple lines, it has a list of 'valid' addresses or io locations (or whatever it is) that didn't include 210 (where mine wanted to go). i just added 210 to the list, rebuilt, and it worked fine
this was 3+ years ago, so i would have assumed someone else had run into this problem and fixed it for real...

I believe you both mispelled "publishers".

why spend money making games for mac (what, 5% marketshare?) or linux (1% desktop?)?
especially for linux, where people don't want to pay for it...
