Finding a genetic problem is very easy in comparison to fixing it. To find, you need to grab any available cell, sequence DNA and then run analysis comparing it to previously known mutations and their effects against sympthoms of the patient.
This is doable with a second hand lab equipment and a computer with access to some medical databases. It's also doable by a decent lab researcher.
To treat the problem, you'd need extensive and actually working gene therapy. We do not have one yet, and it's highly unlikely that we will have one any time soon. Problems are simply too big to surmount, you need to create a version of DNA with changed genome, and somehow insert it into nucleus of all relevant cells of the patient.
Comparing this to what has been done here is akin to comparing invention of a wheel to inventing a modern airliner engine. It's a first, easiest step on the very long and difficult road.
I would actually argue that attention whores are good in politics, because they tend to find attention being the reward of its own. That results in people like Chavez, who as long as they get attention are willing to push themselves massively in favour of their own people.
On the other end of spectrum you have politicans like Bush, who are in it for the cause. They tend to make the worst politicians for their own people.
One could actually suggest that requirements for being a good activist (pushing cause though no matter the consequences to the people) and requirements for being a good politician (attention whoring making pleasing the people attractive to politician) are exact opposites.
I don't think this is about "microsoft believes". Microsoft has traditionally been a very pragmatic company, which is what its success is based upon.
In this case, they know that they're massively late for the mobile party, and their only real chance to succeed is to leverage their desktop monopoly. That requires pushing desktop into tablet-like looks.
Apple on the other hand made it on time and has enough presence not to need such a push (nor could it do it in the first place).
Any attempt to "bridge the gap between metro and desktop" on desktop mean downgrading desktop environment towards shitty tablet environment.
So yeah, it's an upgrade from win8, in the same sense that working cleaning the toilets in a nightclub with your tungue is an upgrade from cleaning the sewers with your tongue. Of course, windows 7 in that analogy is a nice clean office job.
Again, it sounds like you have never seen any activists. It sounds like you saw some parasites/attention whores however and mistook them for activists.
An extreme insult at that. You're comparing people who are activists for the cause, taking action to promote the cause to attention whores, taking action and claiming to be related to a cause to promote themselves.
Former are useful to the cause. Latter are severely harmful. Why is it surprising that vast majority of activist organisations distance themselves from attention whore style activism (take a look at FEMEN for a very good example of this: most feminist organizations and in fact any activist organizations distance themselves from FEMEN whenever these attention whore grab yet another cause to promote themselves with).
You're essentially comparing a symbiote to a parasite. Why is it surprising that symbiote would be insulted by the comparison?
I can see that we will not reach agreement on this because you blindly refuse to see the difference between an attention whore and an activist working for the cause. This in spite of an obvious difference: former prioritizes the means, latter prioritizes the cause.
Pussy riot is former. All of the people you listed are latter. Comparing them is an open insult to all the people you listed.
No, that is demonstrative. There is a difference between having a message in your act, and having an act that has no message whatsoever, just designed to be an asshole enough to draw attention.
There is a reason why organisations like FEMEN, while drawing a lot of attention typically harm rather then advance causes they champion, and are usually rejected not only by the public and authorities, but even by real activists championing the cause.
I think it's fucking stupid to shoot preggo porn as a political protest unless you want the message to be lost in the act itself. I also think it's fucking stupid to interrupt a church service with a dumb dance act for the same reasons. Essentially being an attention whore using the cause to gain attention and damaging the cause in the process.
Where "this is just dumb" went into "horror" in your mind, I cannot fathom.
No, they actually make a point there, without harming anyone. Pussy riot acts actively harmed innocent people around them, which is why they got put in prison. It's not theater when it's vandalism.
And once again: defend those who actually work on human rights. Reporters, investigators, auditors. Not attention whores who break into churches or shoot preggo porn orgies. Former are actually useful for improving situation. Latter do nothing to help and often actively harm both innocent with their act, and their proposed goal by associating with it.
Which is my exact point. Support those who are actually WORKING on righting wrongs. Not attention whores who do absolutely nothing for human rights, and instead break into churches and shoot preggo porn for attention masking those acts as "done in the name of human rights". Those whom you can actually support without having to ignore these huge elephants in the room. There are plenty of these people.
No. But it's ok to prosecute them for barging into a private church, interrupting a service and performing risque acts. In fact, they would have been prosecuted for the same acts in the US.
Let me give you another good example of this idiocy. The current "NGO scandal" where western media actively claims that Russian authorities are evicting an important NGO that is innocent of any wrongdoing. Interestingly, there are little if any videos of the case in western media outlets.
Some pearls: 00:15. Woman in the office screaming "Aaaa, blackmail, help". The man carefully walks away saying "don't kill me, don't kill me" humorously. When camera pans to face her, she smiles, slightly embarrassed and tells cameraman "piss off". 1:32. Men and women surround and hold down the police woman guarding the window by hands. She shows exceptional patience. She clearly tolerates an older woman holding her other hand against her and telling to the camera "look I'm holding her down", and only when two women basically hold her down by hands and she repeatedly tells them to get their hands off her, she struggles to break free. 2:51. Fat middle aged woman (who claims to be the lawyer of the group) pushing into the young police officer blocking her path, then screaming "get your hands off my ass". Fun fact: both policeman's hands are visible on the video and none are on her ass. 3:48. Russian omon (special police forces) are on scene blocking the door. The man pushes the camera in their face. Omon guy asks "what are you standing here for?". Cameraman answers "I'm standing here to prevent raiding and capture". Omon guy with open sarcasm: "That is a correct thing to do. I think you're doing the right thing. Hooligans should be punished. We'll prevent everything together in a moment". 3:57. "Mayor candidate" that entered the premises earlier to talk with authorities is still inside, but he seems to be agitating the mob outside though the window. Police grabs him and throws him and his companion out. Companion screams "help, they're murdering me" as he's thrown out on the street. On the street he shouts "they were beating me". No signs of any kind of beating on him, other then him being thrown out. 4:34. Guy on camera asks the "mayor candidate": "where did they beat you"? He answers: "in the neck... and feet" (the spots where they grabbed him when they were throwing him out on camera a few moments ago). 5:13. Some high ranked white collar officials are leaving the premises. Mob chants "fascists" and some random guy goes after them screaming "this guy was beating people up". Then he starts chasing a police officer leaving the scene screaming "you were beating people" and then tries to... steal police officers hat off his head. That almost ends in a fist fight but another police officer pulls his colleague out of it as he gets his hat back 5:42. Plainclothes officers arrest the elderly man who was screaming about being beaten when he was ejected before the mayor candidate. Police officers audibly states the reason for arrest: "for provocation". Mob tries to stop the police car from leaving. Camera switches to police officer who is apparently in a leadership position (and was seen earlier during the day watching the entire event from a vantage point about ten meters away from the mob) calmly talking on the phone while smoking: "About 40-30 people, they can throw themselves at cars... No the department people are still inside... No we threw all (demonstrators) out... Yes, let Omon stay there till morning".

But they want a slice of the "idiot teenage mobile device crowd" market, and the only way to get it is to leverage their desktop monopoly.
So desktop needs to start looking similar enough to mobile.
Essentially, it's likely that the only way for MS to drop metro from desktop is to drop windows phone entirely in its current form.
Again, it sounds like you have never seen any activists. It sounds like you saw some parasites/attention whores however and mistook them for activists.
And I think you're naive about activism and have never actually done any.

I'm fairly certain that there will be controllers that serve your need, just like there were controllers for PS3.
For example:http://www.amazon.com/Rocketfish-Bluetooth-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-3/dp/B003AKMS0C/
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Elite-Wireless-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B003V4AK8E/
Or you can just get your tools and make 360 controller into PS3 controller. Though this probably won't quite work for PS4, as it will lack PS move LED.
http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/
Ability to scan, locate, identify and track people in real time even in the darkness.
That's not really weird when you consider that official title of secretary has been "administrative assistant" for quite a while.
There's a whole lot more of secretaries then IT admins in most companies.
No, that is demonstrative. There is a difference between having a message in your act, and having an act that has no message whatsoever, just designed to be an asshole enough to draw attention.

Pay attention to the man. Ignore the contents of his message.
Nope. Of course I'm not american. Nor uptight.
Noted. I apologize for assuming too much from your previous message.
Well, the official line of stasi sounded about the same as official line that you quoted.
Then comes the reality of drone killings, guantanamo and so on.
I imagine it's HARD earned.
US is far from sane in terms of criminology. There's a reason why you have the highest incarceration rates in the world.
That would actually be theft rather than vandalism. As you provided no information on how tea was acquired, I assumed they bought it.
No, they actually make a point there, without harming anyone. Pussy riot acts actively harmed innocent people around them, which is why they got put in prison. It's not theater when it's vandalism.
