Use sperm and egg banks to, ahem, freeze dry people for the journey. When you arrive you can have the genetic material from billions of humans to mix and match GATICA style. Heck you may just need a skeleton crew and have robotic wombs and incubators to conceive and grow whole new generations of people timed perfectly for arrival. Plus androids to educate them. Could send many more ships to many more star systems this way. Smaller ships means faster and thus closer to speed of light and thus potentially further distances can be covered to spread us out amongst the local star group.
At the time I posted this comment the three links in the article all go to one page, http://hothardware.com/News/In.... Oops. Could/. or the author correct the links assuming two are missing or remove two of them, we really don't need three links all going to the same page. Thanks a bunch.
So if it actually separates the oxygen what about the hydrogen? That's fuel.
If this is real it's more than just a breathing device, it's a low cost way to separate water into 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom. That is a much more significant breakthrough... then again that's a big IF.
Really? Reference please. Sure looked like Beneath Apple Dos disassembly listings of DOS 3.3 to me, someone who often disassembled it himself while building assembly language software for the Apple ][.
During the first showing of The Terminator they already showed the source code, or disassembled and re-commented source code for Apple ][ DOS 3.3! While nice this is a wee bit late.
As a hardcore 6502 programmer who wrote successful apple ][ assembly language video games in that era it was quite funny seeing Apple Dos 3.3 Listings, likely from the amazing book Beneath Apple Dos, on the big screen.
Yes this Dull weirdo coder says Telegraph Contributor Sucks Balls and not well at all.
Part of the problem with Telegraph Contributor is that he actually thinks that he knows what he's talking about. At least us Dull Weirdo Coders connect with objective reality in our computer programs, if they don't work we know we got it wrong. When would a Telegraph Contributor know he got it wrong? Never.
Well all of a sudden the five day outage of Eztv.it ended and it popped up. This was a strange one since the ip address was also blocked but now the same ip address is pinging and web port is working fine. Very strange. Eztv.it was up the whole time.
In Vancouver Shaw Cable has blocked both the DNS and IP Address of Eztv.it from it's subscribers. Using OpenDNS one can get the ip address but it's blocked too.
Anyone know of a good proxy to go around that that will work with Eztv.it?
“When someone says, ‘Science teaches such and such,’ he is using the word incorrectly. Science doesn’t teach anything; experience teaches it. If they say to you, ‘Science has shown such and such,’ you should ask, ‘How does science show it? How did the scientists find out? How? What? Where?’ It should not be ‘science has shown.’ And you have as much right as anyone else, upon hearing about the experiments (but be patient and listen to all the evidence) to judge whether a sensible conclusion has been arrived at.” ~ Richard Feynman
"We have many studies in teaching, for example, in which people make observations, make lists, do statistics, and so on, but these do not thereby become established science, established knowledge. They are merely an imitative form of science-analogous to the South Sea island airfields, radio towers, etc., made out of wood. The islanders expect a great airplane to arrive. They even build wooden airplanes of the same shape as they see in foreigners' airfields around them, but strangely enough, their wood planes do not fly. The results of this pseudoscientific imitation is to produce experts, which many of you are. You teachers who are really teaching children at the bottom of the heap can maybe doubt the experts once in a while. Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts." ~ Richard Feynman (The Physics Teacher, 7 September, 1969, 313-320)
It can take years to do research on HIV and how it leads to AIDS, and it can take some maniac or holistic medicine astroturfer roughly twenty seconds to post an absurd and false claim against your research.
Indeed science can take a very long time and cost a lot of money. It can also have flaws if not done well.
Attempting to control what people say is known as censorship. Good to know that's where you fall seemingly advocating censorship.
If your science is sound then who cares what people on the intertubes say about it? Seriously.
If your science is weak then it needs to be improved.
If your science is bogus then it needs to be falsified.
Regardless science is an adversarial system and if you can't handle the heat of comments, valid and invalid, then you're going to have to dig deep and attempt to communicate or demonstrate your science in a clear way. Or simply ignore or rebut the comments.
Censorship isn't the answer as that leads to dark places that science has striven to get out of.
So you're saying it's all bully politics rather than any possibility that some who comment have valid questions about the science claimed? Ok right, mr. crazy conspiracy nutter.
Wow, no actual arguments presented by you whatsoever in your ad hominem personal attack. Congratulations on your failure at (1) rational discourse, (2) comprehension of how science and the scientific method actually works, (3) being raised a really nasty person who spews trash when he fails to comprehend a comment.
Clearly you failed to comprehend. Let me explain it to you in simple english. If a few comments on a blog are enough to ruin the science claims of some scientists clearly they've not done their job now have they?
If your science claims can't handle some comments from others then (1) it's back to the lab for you to fix your science, (2) you're doing science wrong since science is an adversarial system of people attempting to produce empirical evidence based hypotheses and others attempting to falsify and refute your hypotheses and claims so go back to Science 101 and Re-Learn The Scientific Method, (3) it's not your science that can't handle the comments, it's actually your funding sources that can't handle the comments, in this case you're S.O.L. and it's time to enter the real world where people work for a living.

After being resurrected the lab rats reported all kinds of experiences about their near rat death experience, how they went to cheese heaven and flew above large blocks of mozzarella with a fresh hit of rot in the air, how they saw the rat goddess herself in the distance, how she was surrounded by a white tunnel that was pulling them onward to the wonderful tunnel of forever and ever and even more cheese (much like this comment). A few rats however spoke of a dark and foreboding place devoid of cheese where the fondue fires had melted it all and ultra fat rats sat all day mainlining the cheese directly into their rat guts. For some reason though the scientists didn't understand these near death experiences of the Rats and where more interested in their instruments of Rat torture. One day the "truth" will come out about rat near death experiences and the torture that prevents all rats from knowing about the cheesy Rat Heaven and Rat Indulgent Hell Yeah bring it on! To Rat Truthers everywhere!
"The press release is out, and the usual serial bloviators are rushing to trumpet the news. July 2012 was the hottest ever on record! “Yikes! We’re gonna roast! Global Warming!”... Of course the first thing I do when I see these sorts of things is go look at the data. It tells a far more interesting and credible story. Here’s some graphs NCDC and Seth won’t ever put in a press release or AP story:" http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/08/08/dear-noaa-and-seth-which-1930s-were-you-referring-to-when-you-say-july-is-the-record-warmest
"Warrenton, Missouri is located right at the hottest of the hot in July, 2012.... Average temperatures in Warrenton during July were six degrees cooler than 1901, 1934 and 1936, and almost one degree cooler than 1954.... July 2012 wasn’t anywhere near as hot as July 1936." http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/record-heat-fraud-ground-zero.
Certain processes in Nature are irreversible. Take for example breaking a glass by smashing it on the floor into millions of bits and pieces of varying sizes. It's not possible to put it back together again as you'll always miss some pieces and it won't ever be the same. Cells are like that. When you starve them of oxygen at death they break up. They disintegrate. They are eaten by microbes fairly quickly. The decay process beings within minutes of death. Read the linked article for the gory in-depth details. These processes are irreversible in the same way that the broken glass reassembly is irreversible. The difference is that you're sentient and living and once the critical systems and cells in your body undergo this irreversible process there is no turning back. You can't alter the laws of Nature. So enjoy your life while you can and do the best you can to make a positive difference in the world.

I saw Ender's Game and it was actually very good much to my surprise.
Harreson Ford was awesome it it as the Evil Emperor. Ender was excellent as a young Darth Vader.
All thumbs up.
