Because it's not being incentivized. Governments that want to get public problems solved should use tools like social impact bonds. They work like this: there's a problem costing the public money, whether that's in cash or years of life lost due to illness or whatever. Fix it, prove you did (that's the hard part), and collect a percentage of the money you saved.
Except that breaking an OSS license isn't infringement, because it's not copyrighted; it's a breach of the contract under which the software is licensed, which I imagine would be covered by punitive damages.
IANAL, so take with a grain of salt.
And where do you think hydrogen comes from? Electrolysis. Using hydrogen just adds another step to the fuel pipeline, and with each step comes less efficiency. Once of the biggest advantages of electric cars is that they're fuel-agnostic - they don't care where the electricity comes from. As we move towards cleaner fuel sources, that's when we'll see our emissions really change. Not to mention that a coal-burning power plant is a heck of a lot more efficient, as far as ton of CO2 per watt, than an internal combustion engine.
There are several definitions of irony, you know. One is an outcome of events contrary to that which might have been expected. You would expect a website concerning SQL to be well-protected against SQL-injection; in such a situation, an attack of this kind would not succeed. The attack did succeed, hence the irony.
It does. Each field has a number of characters listed, and it counts down as you type. It's not really all that bad; it just doesn't make sense, for a college application, for it to be a hard limit.
I was only half joking, really. I'm glad to be doing my part to slow overpopulation. I have every intention of adopting, even if the technology to do otherwise is available.
The problem is that most people aren't homosexual, so this only slightly mitigates the problem.
Here in education-dumps Florida, it wasn't too difficult for me to become a semifinalist. Unfortunately, none of the schools I'm applying to (I've gotten into one, so I cut my safeties off my list) give scholarships. However, it's important to realize the that vast majority of students don't pay the sticker price of college. Big-name colleges, and especially Ivies, offer very substantial financial aid, generally giving full scholarships for students whose families make less than $60k a year, and using a sliding scale where they pay up to 10% of their family's income if they make between 60k and 250k.
It's nice that it's available on Linux, but I still have to play it on Windows because my underspec'd computer can't handle OpenGL 2.0. The Windows version uses DirectX, so it would be nice if the Linux version supported SDL.
This has enormous potential. You could target it to pancreatic cells, for example, and knock out a gene that reduces insulin production. The problem is that this technique can't insert new DNA, so it can't repair the damaged genes that cause a lot of genetic disorders.
You'd have to engineer particles that target a specific vital tissue (and stop thinking "brain", because the blood-brain barrier would block that), and then deliver a piece of siRNA that silences an essential gene for that tissue. You'd also have to inject enough of these into the person to have this effect. Still, it could be useful to replace the siRNA entirely with some kind of toxin (it would be nearly undetectable, because it wouldn't linger in the bloodstream).
Not natural connections, but there are connections. The OP's problem is that Chinese characters have no visual connection to the sound they represent, and there's a huge variety of characters with the same sound.
Pseudogenes are junk DNA. They no longer have a function. Perhaps the killswitch could be in a RuBisCo-type enzyme. RuBisCo is a plant enzyme that fixes carbon dioxide to make glucose. It also fixes oxygen, however, which is hypothesized to be a remnant from the early atmosphere where oxygen was rare. Oxygen fixation by RuBisCo, or photorespiration, results in ammonia, which the plant must use energy to detoxify.
My idea: an enzyme based on RuBisCo, which is part of an essential boichemical pathway, but causes problems in the presence of a specific substance. This substance would be manmade and very rare, and the effects on the organism would be fatal.

Why would you want to take their money and put it in the pockets of some weasley fucker who just wants to use your problem to pay off his house?
Yeah, fuck Ron, the Burrow doesn't need to be rebuilt.

You'd want to use something that functions as a hash of DNA. Some protein that's reasonably unique.

They don't. That's the news media.

Hey! You just published that article! You can't do that; it doesn't belong to you!

Or... gay people. Who get the sex and the lack of offspring!
The New Mexico Whiptail is another lizard in the exact same situation. It's a hybrid of two other whiptails, and reproduces exclusively through parthenogenesis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnemidophorus_neomexicanus

Not exactly. There are three dimensions, but there is just very little information in the third compared to the other two.
Except when we use synesis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesis
Don't cross the streams!
Not particularly high. This is just cross-pollination within a species, and a direct canola-kudzu hybrid is nearly impossible.

I have a PowerShot SX200, which is compact and DIGIC IV. It also shoots 720p. There's a beta of CHDK for it, and it's worked well so far.
That's a good idea too. I guess that depends on where the organism is to be used.
