whoa! dumbshit! Where have you been for the past year, Cuba? The 1992 American Home Recording Act specifically permits the copying and distribution of copyrighted works for noncommercial use - therefore, your whole argument about Napster being *intended* to be used to make illegal copies of music is FALSE, because these copies are legal. Let me guess, you took the BLUE pill, right?
We got a call from the admins at my son's school. Seems he was causing disturbances again. Seems he was unable to pay attention to the work at hand. Seems they think he needs to go on Ritalin (never mind getting to a doctor and having him diagnosed).
we took him to a doctor. The doctor did not test him. He simply asked; "is your son able to pay attention to video games?" To which we emphatically replied "yes."
"then your son does NOT need to go on Ritalin, and does NOT have ADD or ADHD".
duh.

True, Dolly had shorter telomeres, and the associated "accelerated decrepitude" (shoulda named her "Sebastian"). However, the cloned cows in Japan are supposedly doing much better, and apparently have rejuvinated telomeres. My kingdom for a URL.
However, I agree with the case of the clones not having the proper mother. In the case of Wooly Mammoth cloning, they could try for an Elephant, but the Thylacine doesn't have any very close relatives - what're they talking about anyway, a wolverine? Tasmanian Devil? Wombat?

If they breed the siblings, then they can name them "Billy-Bob" and "Peggy-Sue".
I'm sure that if God really didn't want us cloning, he would have made it much more clear in The Bible, or alternatively, he would do something to stop us.
Basically, if you bother to READ the bible, and look past all the historical (pseudo-historical?) bs, the message is; do whatever you want, but be my buddy, and don't let other buddies get in the way of our buddiness.
I don't think cloning is a danger to our collective or individual relationship(s) with God, just as long as we don't get so full of ourselves that we start to think we don't need Him as a buddy.
First off, it's been ONLY 50 years with nukes. Give it some time, we've been around for over 10,000 (depending on your definition of "we").
Secondly, we've had technologies capable of eradicating our species for much longer than that; if you believe that industrialism itself will ultimately lead to our downfall (by creating a runaway greenhouse effect) - and if, by association, you extend backwards in time the major technolgical contributions that allowed it to happen (I vote for the printing press as most responsible for the eventual rise of industrialism, and potential destruction of mankind) - it's just taken a while to grab hold.
I'd always fancied that "circular shape" meant "roughly circular shape". I mean, how good were those builders back then?
Then again, some smartypants biblical scholar might come along and say that the actual word that was translated to mean "circular" actually means "hexagonal". ya never know.
Soon you'll be ready for the "snatch the stone from my hand" excercise, and you'll be well on your way to understanding the meaning of life, grasshoppper.
Some theories on the origin of life state that volcanic activity could also provide the needed energy to assemble the right protiens. Europa has lots of volcanic activity, from the tidal forces of orbiting a rather large planet. Okay, Europa's nothing like Io, but still. . . it could happen.
Dawson's creek is such a cool show, they even smash an iMac in one episode, why are the subtle interpersonal relationships portrayed on this show ever discussed on a Slashdot forum, especially since we all spend so much time touting how great that Tenchi in Tokyo show is. . . Maybe we need to build a Beowulf cluster of Alphas and render our own Anime version of Dawson's creek, and we can edit in Natilie Portman to replace that one chick who got the job playing a 20 year old even though she lied about her real age; being 35. Natalie's pouting firm teen br- oh what the hell, enough already.
What is really interesting was that this story was written WELL BEFORE The Tick comic book, where Chairface Chippendale plotted to commit the ultimate act of vandalism by creating a giant "laser" and carving his name into the surface of the moon. Only to be thwarted by our hero, The Tick (with some help from American Maid).
He must be thinking of VMS. Microsoft hired some key VMS dude (okay, I forget his name, so sue me), from Digital, and he was like one of the chief architects of the NT kernel early on. I doubt if he would have approved of the changes since his tenure tho.
Here's a more correct analogy to linking to DeCSS.
It's the equivalent of telling someone where they can find information on picking a lock on a photocopier machine that they own, the lock installed by the photocopier manufacturer at the request of a book publisher.
What about the oil company, who hired and paid the gas station attendant, who is a close friend of yours, who loaned you the 5 cents you needed to make that copy?
