And that rule is to make your god damn code readable. Use comments if it makes sense, break up blocks of code into digestible blocks, useful function names and variable names. I can't remember how many times I've seen unreadable code with 1000 line functions, no comments at all, different classes with similar names, braces that don't line up, etc.
Oh well, given slash dot I expected to have this one moderated down.
I mean you really could think of this as being the functional equivalent to a trace statement used by a programmer.(Yes, really.) So for example suppose there was a piece of genetic code you were interested in. You might want to know where and when the code was executed. So you slip in the code to generate this glowing protein right next to the code you're interested in. (Just like putting a trace statement in a piece of C++ code you might be interested in.) Then you let the organism live for awhile, in effect running the code and possibly hitting the interesting part. Then bring over the light and look for a glow.(And if you see a glow the code was run and you can even tell where.) We had fruit fly maggots in a cell bio lab where they showed us this. The trace was next to a protein involved with the nervous system. You could tell that because when we looked for the glow their brain and spinal code glowed.)
But pretty much any reason you'd put a trace statement in a piece of computer code you can do the same thing with this stuff.
Well not between the US and Japan anyway. I mean it just used a couple of plastic tabs to keep you from plugging the cartridges in. Remove the tabs and you can play any Japanese or US game. (My N64 is a Japanese one and yes I played tons of US games on it.)
Well actually the sugars in corn syrup are glucose and fructose. Cane sugar is sucrose. Guess what the acid in Coke turns sucrose into? Yup, that's right it turns it into a mixture of glucose and fructose through a process called acid catalyzed hydrolysis of sucrose for those that care. (Which means that the coke itself basically turns sucrose into the same sugars as in HFCS.)
Oh ok. Still I wouldn't be surprised to hear it's easier to do the research with HES which do not require that extra conversion step. (And who knows what difficulties that might induce.) Then of course when enough basic research has been done then try to figure out the same idea with IPS and get the benefit of no rejection.
Yes, I understood that they were converted from non-pleuripotent to pleuripotent. However I thought one advantage (assuming you could get it to work without causing cancer, a big if.) is that there would be less possibility of tissue rejection. (Since you'd expect the surface proteins to be whatever your immune system is used to which might not be the case with embryonic.) I mean is there some other issue? (You know, like you can generate a few cells but trying to generate enough to create tissues and organs is a no go?)
Wait a sec. The abstract for the paper says they're pleuripotent. I would think that would mean any kind of cell regardless of the fact of being adult or fetal. (Well except support tissues.)

Wait a sec, it used the same region locking as the SNES. (Both used tabs.
