telomeres: lengthyish non-coding reigons of DNA at the ends of chromosomes with an uncharacterized structure (several models exist) which is thought to assist in DNA replication which are widely thought to be shortened through replication (although possibly not in cancerous/other rapidly-dividing cells).
Your average somatic, non-epithelial/neural cell divides every 7 to 10 years or so unless there is some kind of damage, and AFAICT, this research has little to nothing to do with telomeres, or making anything longer.
Also, do the human-fugu match up genes play similar roles in each species?
As other posters have stated, highly conserved genes which have simmilar/identical biochemical roles will be very similar in sequence between the fish and humans.

Does this in any way imply that any judge in California can force a registrar to change a domain name registration to reflect his ruling regarding a domain name? Could he also decree that California ISPs point microsoft.com to 207.46.131.137 should that domain ever get 'hijacked' by a foreign registrar? What about US citizens and compaines who register their domain names abroad. Could the registrants be forced to request alterations to foreign domain name registrations which the court would normally have jurisdiction over?

Having to swipe a card almost ensures that the number/dates are correct (reducing the number of bad transactions due to this) and would reduce the damage from the next cdnow incident (if only swiped card numbers were accepted).

At leas this rider has something remotely to do with entertainment unlike some recent stuff to come out of congress which attached some weird business reform to anti-spam bills.

I read section 6-2.5-105 to mean that the legislation applies only when one or both of the sender's or recipient's email devices physically exists within the state of Colorado. Good luck enforcing this when the sender is in Pottsolvania or when the Colorado resident uses Hotmail.
Wow, decent stuff posted in the middle of the night to/., the first post is not a troll, and this computer might still make it on to TOP500 by the time it exists:-)
1) It is difficult and processor intensive to turn pictures into something that can be represented digitally. My computer knows that cat.jpg is a file, and can show me a bunch of dots that looks like a cat, but the fact that it is a cat is unknown to the computer.
2) It is even more difficult to attempt to pattern-match such things when the computer only has one image to work from. (Ever notice how OCR does not work on scans of handwriting (not things like Palm[whatever]?)
3) A picture of a page of text occupies significantly more memory than a text file of text (on the order of >5 to 1). Consequently, a picture consumes more bandwidth and takes longer to pass through any particular point in the network.
So why don't we just send around images of hand-written notes (or images of text using uncommon fonts), possibly deformed using PS5/GIMP/MS Paint or whatever? And XOR/ROT13/encrypt the file for good measure. Surely, carnivoire, echelon, and all the other things peeking into our transmissions would be overwhelmed by having to process >5x more data. (Yes, this doesn't work too well over cell phones and such, but this would work decently now and even better so in the future as high speed access becomes more readily available). Unless they get humans to look at the images (practically defeated by using masks similar to what the Japaneese electronic porn industry currently does) or invest in more hardware, I think this method might work.
I'm also thinking that 0.3mm pencil on textured newsprint at 16.7 million grays with a trapazoid deform would be nearly impossible to electronically sniff but would easily get the message across unprocessed:-) Of course, since the recipient could easily tell that a trapazoid deform was used and ignore the noise, 'decryption' wouldn't really be a problem.
Consider this: with dozens of different modules from many different development teams, each with their own development standards, someone is bound to accidentially put in a few exploitable unchecked buffers and such. And since everything is supposed to interoperate, there will be data sharing and shell()-like activity, so insted of just dieing from bad data, grafts can share the crap with other grafts (or modules or whatever the nom du jour happens to be). And it gets better, since it's cross-platform and a lot of the code is shared, the same attack will work everywhere. And of course, let's centralize the distribution so that patches are filtered down from the coders to the developers to mozilla, that would only make the response time to a threat close to a week.
If you think you've been taking it up the ass with Outlook and security patches, wait for mozilla...
>so you don't think they feel superior to other people for having "accomplished" duping thousands of people??!!? you made my point for me Magic5Ball...
I don't know how they feel about their accomplishment (an objective which they've successfully completed) since I'm not a cultural anthropologist, but if you are, please enlighten me as to your professional opinion of what they are feeling.
>Also If you think lying is an accomplishment, you should try a day of hard work, and getting recognition for a job well done on for size... you wouldn't be able to go back
Their goal, as stated by them was to fool people into thinking their device was real, which they have succeeded in doing. That is, they've 'accomlished' their objective, according to my and Webster's definition of the word. You may, of course, use your own unconventional definition. (As I recall, 'accomlishment' was your word for it)
>As for "Suddenly, they are a 'sect' too?" uhh, did you read their statement?!? uhh, guy, from my perspective (it's the only one I own) they (obviously) aren't the most helpful people
Yes, I did read their statement. We were both responding BEFORE it was out, so it was not relavent to the responses at the time.
>If you had wasted your time trying to get in on this "good deal" you would have a different perspective (kinda like how you told me to take a look at it from an "aborigines" POV...eh?).
Maybe. I'm just not comfortable with making such great judgements about people based on one encounter, and with little to no knowledge about their culture.
>Somehow I don't think that the aborigines uphold dishonestly above truthfulness...do you see the flaw in this staement?
Indeed. Unless you've got some expertese in sociology/anthropology or something similar which you aren't showing, your statement is speculation. I was pointing out that your statement regarding their 'sick fantasy world' might be premature and made from a culturally biased prespective. I personally don't jump to the conclusion that someone is ill just because they enjoy a bit of jocularity.
If you do have an anthropological background and are knowledgable about this subject area, then I sincerely apologise. Otherwise, my criticism of your comments stands.

>Late? Possibly, although I never saw a timeline laid down for the completion of the project.
True, two years spent working by hundreds of developers on an existing working code base to add chrome to half-produce a semi-working browser isn't 'late'. It feels more like ass dragging. Across time zones.
Fat? Certainly there is a lot of code, and it's memory requirements up until recently have been large, partly due to memory leaks. Things seem to have been getting better - the memory usage on this browser is at 33MB after several days of uptime, so I think there is still some way to go. But I am running the memory cache in there as well.
Hello? I've had multiple open IE5 windows on my NT box for close to two weeks and it's never persisted above 20MB. And this was with a 16 MB memory cache and actual usage, with various DHTML and other non-static elements.
Ugly? You make not like the default appearance, but it is changeable. In fact it is a lot more than simply skinable - most of the GUI can be stripped, reimplemented and changed according to your whim.

There is nothing 'wrong' with the "German/European Society". They are different people and have different norms than we do. That does not make it wrong (except to those who are so ethnocentric that they consider any culture other than their own to be inferior etc). >Why do they think that deluding thousands of people is an accomplishment? Hands up every one who, with ~US$100 (domain name + a month of basic web hosting) can get a few thousand interested viewers to their site. I thought so. >The last time I checked, Our (american) president pulled the same thing on us... are all societies the same this way? What are you asking? If it's "are all societies the same?" then no, definately not. >or is this just some sick fantasy world that certain sects of our world play a role in? Whoa. Now these people are in a sick fantasy world? Suddenly, they are a 'sect' too? What of all the aborigines who think that this 'Western' concept of material hording is strange? Are we then not a 'sect' which is living in some sick fantasy world? It's all a matter of perspective. Their world view is different from ours, let's respect that and not be so quick to impose judgement on things unfamiliar to us.

Now, the question really worth discussing here is, is it possible to create a multiplayer game where there's no advantage to be gained by examining memory, or intercepting the data stream? What would such a game be like, and would it still be able to attract a wide audience?
Multi-player free cell, here I come:-)
Seriously, these games already exist. Think: Tennis, Golf, sports, many board games (CHESS) etc. To some extent, warcraft et clones are already open, as it were. It doesn't take a genie to determine that the enemy is building a nuke if 'something' has been under construction for a few minutes. Sure, you can't tell _exactly_ how much gold (or whatever currency is in use) he has, but that shouldn't make much of a difference anyway, all other things being equal.

Having recently played a few hours of D2...
:-) (And why are the MP chips different from the SP chip? I'd assume that qualifying one chip design/model is better than doing the same for two, especially for long-range ballistics...)
.de contacts and physical locations:
Does the MP board look socketable at all?
What's that white L-shaped component next to the transistor on the far left?
Why can I find no reference to 'Krasnokutovka'?

Now, the question really worth discussing here is, is it possible to create a multiplayer game where there's no advantage to be gained by examining memory, or intercepting the data stream? What would such a game be like, and would it still be able to attract a wide audience?
:-)
Multi-player free cell, here I come
Seriously, these games already exist. Think: Tennis, Golf, sports, many board games (CHESS) etc. To some extent, warcraft et clones are already open, as it were. It doesn't take a genie to determine that the enemy is building a nuke if 'something' has been under construction for a few minutes. Sure, you can't tell _exactly_ how much gold (or whatever currency is in use) he has, but that shouldn't make much of a difference anyway, all other things being equal.
