I wonder what would happen if I started posting large word lists containing corporate and product names to some of the abandoned alt groups?
Further, I wonder what deja's reaction would be if I inserted creative HTML fragments into said posts so as to (try to) break their mutilation features...
At least if something goes wrong he'll have plenty of peroxide for keeping any cuts clean. Oh, wait... that's hydrogen peroxide... wonder if that burns any worse when applied than peroxide alone?
Significantly more so (but since he is using hydrogen peroxide, none of the below really applies.)
IF he devised a method of isolating peroxide ions (-OOH) from the cations in any significant amount and was planning to use this in anything resembling a conventional rocket, I would want to be a few counties away when he launches. The naked protons or cations that would result from such an insolation would exhibit a significant attraction towards the peroxide ions due to the separation of charge. The reunion of charge would result in a rather--exothermic--reaction.
The combined projects have between them most of the nucleotide sequences of about a couple dozen people (give or take). Previous research has provided additional data about human variation to some extent and can be combined with the maps currently being touted. What this all means is that very soon, you can dial in and look up any part of the chemical sequence to see what's is chemically there, and if you're good enough, take a guess at what that particluar region of nucleotides does (or just look it up, eventually). Or, you can take a protein, magic (detailed steps omitted) some possible nucleotide sequences out of it, and look for it in the geneome. You could then clone/insert/delete/experiment/etc with the gene or sequence of nucleotides more effectively.
If you know where a particular defect is, it is easy to devise a gene therapy to correct the defect (make the correct form of the protein, etc). Knowing what the correct form of a particular gene is, we can also compare it to an individual's nucleotides at that location to see if the person has a particular defect, or even what form of defect s/he has. With enough data from more individuals to complement what is there now, it would be possible to determine certain genetic features of various groups or populations and do some mind-numbing statical analyses:-) etc.
Why wait for a stable release when this one is already "perfect"? The new kernel might be a good thing, but calling it (or any other piece of code) perfect sounds just a bit extreme.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an information handling system in which information is derived from a computer at a remote point and transmitted via the public telephone network to terminal apparatus. The invention also includes the terminal apparatus itself.
Questions: 1) So now they've patented terminals, too?
2) Why would I or my ISP care if I was using a box that they didn't make to use hyperlinks?
By the time this thing gets through the courts, things will have changed enough to make it not matter anymore.
Exactly. Millions will have been wasted by the government (and, indirectly, the American people) to produce something irrelivent and useless. Nothing significant will be changed at microsoft and all the years of high-profile MS bashing will have accomplished is to set the american tax payer back a few million. What's more, Ellision, McNealy, et al will still be touting has-been and defunct technologies in order to supplant Bill to satisfy their *.* envy. Nothing has changed.

The scientific speakers at the pre-announcement announcement this morning spoke of comparing the two sets of maps.

I hope CNet sues DoubleClick now.
Sue... Acquire... Same difference.
