    Arn't they suposed to be sterile, wich would kinda kill any long term breeding problems.

  6. Re:Only females? on First Inter-Species Egg Clone Imminent · · Score: 1

    I JP the cloning was done with only females to limit breeding. (This was explaned better in the book)

    In the article they were cloning FROM a female because that is whats avalable. If they had male DNA ....

    It depends on how you count.

    I have heard that if you get cancer in the states there is a good chance of you getting dropped by your HMO. No idea how true this is, but I have heard it.

    The Reality is in Canada NO CANADIAN CITIZEN OR LANDED IMIGRANT pays for medical bills. Not 75% not 90% EVERYONE.

    Yes we do pay more in taxes, our goverment also spends more on education, police, Unempolyment Insurance, Pension Plans, envoirment(although it is a joke here too.), I live next to Detroit & been to New York. I have NEVER seen conditions like that in Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal. (Lived in both Toronto & Ottawa).

    So how do you count...

    That is BULLSHIT.
    My folks last year had to visit a hospital in Alabama & and one here in Ontario.

    The hospital in Alabama Charged them a thousand dollers(US) BEFORE IT DO ANYTHING. Then it racked up another 2000 (US) to set the wrist (My mother broke her wrist). Thank god for Blue Cross.

    My dad needed a knee replaced. The Decision was made in September. He went on the table in October. Replaced the knee, no cost, no cost for medication or Theripy.

    Medical system falling apart......We just have no IDEA how bad it is below the border.

  11. Do I get xenophobic rant also...... on Green Mars · · Score: 1

    My da' (an expat brit)calls mathematics maths sometimes.

    To me the use of the word maths sounds like an Englishman sounding well...English.

    See the Language is not called USish. (I do not use Americanish because that would be all the forms of English found in north and south America, including but not limited to Canadain English (9 or ten different types), Jamacian English ... Well you get the idea.)

    If it was called USish, Aussies Probbably would not use it,

    There is an answer to that but it would take longer then I care to type to explain it.

    (Also Bio is not my gig so I am going to get SOME of it wrong.)

    I strongly suggest you go to the libary and hunt up some books on genetics & human evolution.

    It is an interesting subject...esp when you get to the concpt of race.

    Bingo....

    And since basic is cheap, and they do not want to spend devlopment money.......

    Another advantage is that it is unlikely that anyone will be able to do an opensource game in YABASIC that will compeate with the "real" games.

    Distribution alone is going to be a problem.
