I'm glad I'm not the only one who read that and went, "Wait, what?" Questions like that would explain why our schools are so bad at encouraging the study of math.
actually I already know the answer is yes. I have to support hundreds of virus infested computers a month with all sorts of crap toolbars attached to their internet explorer browser. It is almost a standard policy to install either Firefox or Chrome on the computer to try and keep them from reinfecting themselves.
Its my privacy to whore out. I give Google an occasional handjob to get free email, but that's my choice. And I also actually read the terms of service and the privacy policy, because I was really, really bored that day.
Of course, that makes sense. and so we say no to google in favor of the privacy advantages of cable, at&t and...ummm... there were privacy advantages, right?
I had a former employer who received a letter from the BSA under exactly the same circumstances. The difference is that we all knew the name of the former employee, and we all knew that the company was in fact, using unlicensed software. But he sent a return letter certified back to the BSA stating that he indeed did legally license all his software. And that was the end of the matter.
The BSA is used to getting disgruntled employees making claims, whether bogus or not. Right now they are fishing. If you bite their bait, they will hook you and reel you in, and fry you up.
Send the letter, say ONLY that you have properly licensed all your software. Then perform an audit yourself in case things progress to the next stage.
So, per the decision, because the particular gene was extracted from the DNA strand, it is patentable.
Isolated DNA, in contrast, is a free-standing portion of a native DNA molecule, frequently a single gene. Isolated DNA has been cleaved (i.e., had covalent bonds in its backbone chemically severed) or synthesized to consist of just a fraction of a naturally occurring DNA molecule.
I have decided to patent blood. Since obviously, once it is separated from the body it is now something not found in nature. I, like Myriad, am not going to invent any new techniques to identify the isolated substance. Nor will I invent any new techniques to extract the substance. But, once I extract the blood, I can patent the method and use of an energy and oxygen delivery agent with built in defense and anti-leak technologies. And I will extract my pound of flesh from anyone that infringes on my patent.
No one has come up with hardware better than last year's iPhone? You might want to check your facts on that one. It took me all of five seconds to google a phone with superior hardware specs.
I like sciencenews.org, but I also like http://www.sciencedaily.com/ as a good source on a variety of science related subjects.
Oops,I almost pulled a Palin and typed "sciency".

No gamers want reality. They just don't want THIS reality.

Hey if we're lucky, its going to kick off the zombie apocalypse.
Funny enough, these floating communities designed to be outside any country were predicted back in 1971 by Poul Anderson in The Byworlder.

Yes it was a very adept trolling. Even though I couldn't accept that he was being serious, I couldn't help myself. I had to respond.
No I think he was actually looking for real science, not pull-it-out-of-your-ass bullshit science.

A scientist telling an uncomfortable truth being silenced by conservatives. It's preposterous.
Thats a minus, not a plus. A hard to replace battery isn't any harder to hack, its just harder to fix.
either that or all the fords will suddenly start spamming jeeps with "Nigerian offroad driving" offers.
