They can just advertise that he lost his licence because the powers that be want to supress information and they are doing it by silencing this guy. So spend $29.95 a month to sign up for our web site and learn what the man doesn't want you to know. (You know it'll work out just like that.)
I mean the "This suggests that there are no great rules -- you can reprogramme anything into anything else." quote. From what I remember from bio class tissues in mammals split into 3 different layers early on, the ectodermm the mesoderm and the endoderm. Oddly enough both skin and nerves come from the ectoderm. So what the scientist has demonstrated is he can turn on part of the ectoderm into another. (Not that he could say take endoderm from say the intestines and convert it into skin.)
I mean if I was Apple I'd be worried about MS taking the Zune HD platform and turning that into a MS phone. (After flooding it with apps which is something MS would do.) I admit the Zune brand isn't the best right now but really a quick brand re-name to something like M-Phone would do the trick. (I mean look at Vista Mark II. Oh I'm sorry, it's called Windows 7 and people don't seem to have a problem that they would have if it was called Vista SP3
Umm, actually he was a guy. Anyway the idea was that the sperm has 23 chromosomes (As does the egg.) and only one of those from each parent is a sex chromosome. (Mom always gives an X, dad can give an X or Y) The idea was that there's so many other chromosomes with so much other data that the Y only needed to have the info of "Turn on the guy stuff" and that data is recorded somewhere in the other chromosomes and gets executed. (Basically he said sex linked traits are on the X chromosome and if you're a guy you get them from mom and you only get 1 copy. Girls get sex linked traits from both parents and have 2 chromosomes full of data for it.)
At least that's how they explained it to us in BIO 101. (Yes I realize it was probably a massive simplification.) The idea was that the Y chromosome has almost nothing on it and is little more than a female to male switch. (All the info for creating a male body are else where in the genome.) If that's sort of correct that means it doesn't really matter if the Y chromosome changes since all it has to get across is the signal "You male, UGG"
Anyway if us guys evolve so quickly where are all my super-powers? (You know, besides my super power to turn green lights red when I drive up to them.)
For what it's worth TivoDesktop and Steam were the 2 apps that did all of that to me. (I'd usually install adobe reader first and then one of those 2 next and had problems.)
Of course the problem with photosynthesis is it doesn't produce energy that quickly so it'd probably be used by slow moving animals like that. Here's a link

I'd install a few apps and after that the firewall would just disable internet access. Sure, some of the time it'd say "app Y is trying to access the net, you cool with that?" but sometimes it wouldn't. (And then it wouldn't mention which one it was complaining about.) Oh, the first time this happened it was actually worse. The firewall decided to block an app while I was at the log-in screen. As in no keyboard access at all. I had to log into Win7 in safe mode, disable the newly installed app just to log in. I'm guessing a 3rd party firewall would be an improvement. (Since it couldn't be worse.) Oh, I've had no problems with the Vista firewall which is odd. (Since I figure the one in 7 is just an upgraded version.)
I mean for the PS3, Xbox360 and Wii. I tried watching Hulu on my PS3 and it wouldn't play. (And I'd rather watch TV on my TV than my computer. Oh, and I have a remote for the PS3 which further makes me want to watch hulu on my PS3.)
that but not by much. Basically they'll say little changes like that (they call it micro-evolution) can happen but nope, no big ones into other species. (But anybody that's taken Bio 102 and seen how impossible it is to come up with a definitive answer to what is one species is and what is another knows that differential is horse-shit.) Guess they needed that so they could have an excuse why it was ok to take newer antibiotics and such. (You know, so they could allow the evolution that's so obvious you have to be pretty much insane to say it doesn't happen.)
Sega had those things for the Master System in 87 or 88. By that I mean you could buy them in the store. (I had a pair when I was a kid. They worked ok but seriously the SMS was no 3D system. It might have been better if it came out on the Saturn or DC.)
I mean that's part of the point. He was using political connections at the time to get his point of view across. (A point of view that btw he had no evidence for.) While we have advanced from that time it wasn't just that the church could do that, if you played politics at all at that time it could turn out very badly for you. (I mean like it's been pointed out he didn't really get into trouble until he basically called his buddy the Pope "Mr Stupid". He screwed with the political connection he used to get ahead and it turned out badly for him.)
I mean be fair. It's annoying when people talk about the RCC as a bunch of biblical literalists. (One step above creationists.) As a Catholic I can tell you they're not, they're control freaks. That's what they like, to control information. Then let that information out slowly. I mean they kept the bible and masses in Latin for centuries. (It's kind of hard to interpret the bible for yourself if you don't understand the language it's written in.) Of course there's loads of stuff that they did over the centuries where it's kind of hard to figure out where in the bible it said that.(Like indulgences. I still haven't heard an explaination for why we're supposed to eat fish on Fridays that made any sense.) Hell, go to a Catholic mass for once. It's all "Stand, sit, stand, kneel." It's like the priest is a gym teacher putting the parishioners through calisthenics.
Wow, somebody else is pointing out other things that got left out when people talk about the Saint of Science. On top of what you've added the church actually updated their position to the Tychonic model. (Where the Sun and Moon orbit the Earth and the planets orbit the Sun.) The big problem with the Earth going around the Sun is the stars should exibit parallax. There's a few explainations for this. One is the Earth moves but the stars are so far away that they couldn't measure it. The other is it's not actually there because the Earth doesn't move. Tycho's system had the Earth not moving which was a valid point of view given the evidence. (Of course in the 1800's they could finally see the parallax and they knew the Earth moved. Well actually they knew about it before then because Newtonian mechanics pretty much require the Earth to move but they didn't have that either when G was kicking around.)
Anyway like you say, if you play around with politics at that time period it could work out badly. (Because that's how politics were at that time.)
Basically you can grow wheat, grind it up into meal, and then feed it to your chickens. All of this can happen and it never leaves your farm but it's still interstate commerce. (Don't ask me how this can possibly make sense since there's nothing being sold and nothing being transported between states.) I'm thinking the 2 you found probably referenced this one.

Oh I don't doubt it would be extremely bad. But it seems when things turn to talking about black holes people want to sex things up by talking about things getting sucked in. (But they don't mention that those extreme gravitational effects only occur when you get fairly close so a BH so getting sucked in is the least of your worries.) So that leads into people thinking if you make a micro BH it'll suck up everything when really particles would have to get infinitesimally close to actually get sucked in. (You know, so close that it could go straight through a proton and miss all the quarks inside.)
So does that wave/particle duality come into this? I mean electrons for example have no size when you look at it from a particle point of view. But I know it should have wave characteristics as well. For an object to be a BH does it not only have to be a singularity but the, err umm, size of it's waviness have to also fit into its event horizon as well? (Not sure how clear that question is but I hope that the "gist" gets across.)
Well I admit QM is really confusing to me.(As a layman) What I've read was that Electrons are dimensionless and have no spatial extent. (And that experiments to find if electrons have a size have put an upper limit on that that is rediculously small.) So does that mean in QM something can have no spacial extent yet not actually be a singularity. (Which sounds weird but then again I know we're talking about QM. Didn't Brian Greene postulate electrons might be BH? I'm pretty sure there's a lot of new issues that would come up if they were but like I say, QM is confusing to me.)
Really? Funny I think I've heard Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson talk about what would happen if a BH went through our solar system. (He made it sound like it would actually suck up the Earth.) I don't remember any thing about the most likely scenario, it would pass through and disturb the orbits of the planets but most likely actually never get close enough to suck up any planet at all. (At least for a stellar mass BH that would be the most likely scenario.)
I mean they make it sound like when something turns into a black hole it gains "More gravity" and sucks everything around into it which is utterly not true. (If a stellar mass BH went through our solar system the most likely thing it would do to the Earth is distort it's orbit and or move the Sun.) I mean we're talking about creating black holes so small they could literally go straight through a proton and miss all the quarks inside, sucking up nothing. Hey that reminds me, electrons and quarks don't have a size, they're singularities.(Kind of like the things they want to make in the LHC.) However they've never been observed to act like a BH even though you'd think they would. So that makes me think even if they made a singularity that small it wouldn't act like a BH either.
Haven't seen Avatar but the over all "Looks great but what's underneath kind of sucks" sounds like Donkey Kong Country. (I mean would anybody have cared about DKC if it looked like Super Mario World?)
Everything I've heard makes it sound like it's to film what Donkey Kong Country was to video games. (DKC was graphically impressive for the SNES but the game underneath all of that was meh. I don't think anybody would have cared for the game if it looked like say Super Mario World and played the same as DKC. I hear the same is true of Avatar.)
I mean Islam last I checked has no real central authority. Actually more to the point the Islamic world isn't even one culture, let alone one country so what Tyson said is probably a gross simplification. (Admittedly I'm kind of biased against him.) Actually looking on the wiki about it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_science#Decline
Makes it sound like it was more than just "Oh my god religion" doing it's thing. (Things like Mogol invasion, fights between different parts of the Islamic world, etc. Actually they point out other parts of that sphere kept doing scientific research. Of course creationist still suck.)
