AFAIK, there are bacteria capable of degrading dioxins. Is it feasible to create GM gut flora that degrades dioxins, and spread it as a vaccine of sorts? Are there any substances that bind safely to dioxins, much as alpha lipoic acid does for some toxic metals? Is it feasible to be produced by such bacteria?
That ought to teach kids some basic respect, and how to make acquaintances. I'm serious. That's how I grew up, and frankly that turned me from that smart ass snobby kid into a the nutty but fun neighborhood genius. Gangs have territory and other issues, but very few would start knocking kids around for no good reason (they are people too, ya know), drug dealers, even less so. They are out to do business, nothing else. Gun violence? Well, that may be an issue, I agree.
Who's the idiot that thinks that hydrogen energy has a future? Considering price and power characteristics for fuel cells and hydrogen storage, it's safe to say that LiPol, NiLi, NiZn and other batteries are a better choice for electricity. Internal combustion? Of hydrogen? If made with electrolysis, it's crazy inefficient, if made by reforming other fuels, why not directly use them, or reform them to something more appropriate?
Better idea: genetically modified gastric bacteria that produce a healthy 100-150 mg dose of Alpha-lipoic acid. Clears out lead, mercury and arsenic. Chronic low dose exposure is the perfect use case.
Because a high temperature incinerator can take care of everything, and the greenies don't want to lose their Armagedon. Think about it - waste is simply glass (harmless), metal (mostly harmless, usually harvested unless it's very little), and organics (incinerated).
Sorry to go slightly offtopic, but I think we should provide for each type of general use a separate subspecification, more suited to the venture at hand. For instance, I've alway wondered where should I raise the question of static type inference and OpenCL type extensions to JavaScript, in order to accommodate in-browser codecs.
It's a computer. It doesn't matter who has what privileges on it, it's a computer, and a quite capable one, at that. All iDevices are, including the netbook/tablet iPad, which is most certainly not a phone, yet subject to the same restrictions. Oh, and since when does any device class have any standing over first sale doctrine? Phone, or something else, or both, it's property of the user when bought, not Apples, not AT&Ts, nor does anyone else have any saying on it. The app store limitations, and closed sync protocols are in direct violation of the users rights.
Anything specific about local culture I ought to know? What is their attitude to drugs? (Just a semi-frequent user here). I hear they are among the most intelligent in Europe, what is your take?
Google's OS allows other App stores by default, and don't even get me started on Palm. Don't you dare equate them with Apple. At least in the mobile realm.
Apples's crown jewels - the user experience is still closed - UI implementation? - closed - iDevice protocols? - closed and always changing - Application development model for iDevices? - closed (developer agreement).
If copyright and fair use were built right, torrent trackers would be a niche, much as NNTP servers are. The content middlemen^W producers have themselves to blame. In an unrelated question, what the hell is up with your drug and prostitution laws? You guys make the USA look like cokehead ravers.
Is it true that your booze costs an arm and a leg? How do you handle self defense with that sort of attitude to weapons? Otherwise, sounds like a charming place to me.
Not really certain - if someone ports the pvops framework to symbian, we could have the best of both worlds - linux and symbian. And symbian is still better at handling low resource real time devices. Sorry, Tux, I love you, but it's true.
Would it be wise for the Galium3D devs to create a raw D3D state tracker? Pull a triple-E on microsoft with some crazy features that would require them to rip apart NT in five dimensions before thinking of implementing them.
What I meant is that there are no GSM compatible devices on the market that can use the iTunes store, as far as I'm aware, making Apple a monopoly in that market, correct? Excuse my wishful thinking and imprecise phrasing, but I'm quite sure that inhibiting application market place competition, on devices that summed up, have a near monopoly on the application store market, AFAIK, is an anit-trust issue. Also, I was referring to restrictions in the development of applications, not their distribution. I.e., Apple is restricting the developer's ability to port his application to other platforms, if that is his, as a copyright owner of said application code, decides to do so.
There's this idea I've had in my head for a while - RSS feeds of patches from DVCS, targeting a build server directory, with basic scripting control. That way distro makers can have almost any combo of patchsets that anybody can reasonably want, and leave them just with making the final app/version selection, and wrap the binaries up in archive*cough*package format of choice. Though some compiler features are warranted, in order to support all the different compile time options - I'd say storing the AST in a database as a compiler cache, and some language integrated macros to provide for the actual compile time options. Result will probably be a main binary, with some diffs, or a really fat ELF that ca be stripped with standard tools. I was wondering whether anybody round here think it's reasonable.

Fedora LXDE respin would also be appropriate.

Except for RAID-Z levels. They are a pretty solid choice.

Someone please implement pvops for Symbian, please! I want both Symbian and Linux.
I'm not going to argue with you, but... wow, never thought I'd live to see that in a /. post...

Can't they release a JVM for GNUStep, and just make sure it's (roughly) source-compatible with OS X?
IOW, do your homework to not get ripped off, more at 11!

What makes you think the EC won't go after GSM patent holders?

This is OT, but can you tell me something about Finland that I can't find in Wikipedia?
Hunting guns are manually loaded, AFAIK. Assault rifles, no.
