Wow I had no idea that the people engaging in this technology could be so sensationalist about how they talk about it. It is profound and very promising, but I hate how they are calling all these constructs 'robots' and 'nanobots' and talk about 'programming' them.
That's a load of BS and it cheapens the power of the organic. These constructs are made of organic materials, not steel and silicon robots. Using this language gives the world an entirely wrong idea about what it is about and cheapens the decades of hard work of biologists and biochemists by piggy-backing sci-fi/electronic ideas and fame.
Call it a biobot if you must. But then I guess as soon as you start talking about the fact that this is a reactive biological thing created by man, all the bible-bangers of the world get their panties in a bunch.
This is the best improvement of the internets I've heard in years. Hunting for porn should be greatly enhanced if it's address is centralized!
I wonder if those military guys who invented internets ever realized what would become of their tech.
For those small island states, especially broke ones, you need to invent a reason for people to care. This kind of freedom of speech could bring in money in one form or another and help remake Iceland. Good for them!
I doubt this is true honestly. I wonder how this figure was come to. Does a one page web page count as one count, right next to expansive wikipedia? That would be misleading.
Out here we have real a-hole drivers that drive around like they are in some sort of Grand Prix, when in reality they're just grand pricks. They are ALWAYS young guys, many of them young asian guys in souped up rice rockets with spoilers and noise manchine mufflers. I think the connection is fair.
I have a very simple problem with this theory: if a black hole creates a new universe with the mass it has collected, then isn't that universe quite small compaired to our own? When a new universe is formed is mass and energy created? Is the universe ours is from that much more massive?
When was anyone disrespectful to China? You must be asian for this emphasis of respect, and Chinese to think that China has not got it. Chinese are obsessed with aggrandizing China and anyone who thinks anything less is 'disrespecting' China.
You know there are bugs in the Sahara desert which lay dorment in egg form for a year or more, and then when the one time it rains, they hatch and mate in the spance of a few days before it dries again. Even on our earth there is life which adapts to wildly changing environment.
I guess you could push horizontal genetic flow with viruses in the higher organisms, like us. In general however, horizontal genetic flow occurs between plants and bacteria because they have the molecular mechanisims for it.
If anything it would suggest horizontal genetic flow was the first stage of evolution, with classic evolution taking over more so as time moved forward since higher organisms have a higher need to maintain genetic continuity due to specific and more complicated form.
For instance you have chromosomal ploidy in plants because they follow a different evolutionary strategy: stay in place, but grow as much as possible to aquire resources. In this case genetic diversity may help. In the ambultory mammal however, it wants to retain a very specific morphology to keep doing what it does, therefore it maintains a more rigid genetic control and linear evolution.

I'm sorry but the Pirate Bay is no longer a 'Pirate Site.' They handed in their cutlasses a long time ago.
Consoles are for children and people who like to wave their wand around.
The Japanese arent stupid enough to let it happen. Only in America do we open our doors to anyone and give everything away.
I grew out of it 15 years ago. The fact that the form is still stagnating around now is depressing.
They are joined at the hip, about as much as California and, say, Idaho are.
I reject that comparison. We Californians have NO need for Idaho! We can grow our own potatos!
See my sig.

It would be pretty fun to watch a return of the Bill and see if he could rescue the company.
Just about everything in life is a double edged sword.
Let us indeed remember Adrian, as the colossal dillhole he is.
Nothing. Porno has no relation to marriage.

This is hilarious. It's like these failed directors and musicians are holding us at gun point, forcing us to watch their garbage and pay for it.

Whoa, I don't remember hearing about that. Have a link? ...or pictures?

Last time the Russians tried this, two of them bloodied each other and one of the women was nearly raped. No women this time.
If that is a punishable offense, then I should be doing hard time for my exploits in early Ultima Online. It was like the wild west online.

They've been stealing our tech for so long, they deserve it.
Not the first time, but the first announced. :}
