    Every time you run a sheet of paper through a printer, Chuck Norris uprights an extremely rare albino redwood tree, sets it on fire, and plays tee-ball with a kitten.

  7. Re:depends on the scope of the project on How Do You Manage a Product Based on Linux? · · Score: 1

    It's taken me over seven years to truly learn the worth of version control. These days I'd dare not live without it. It really is that good. Honest!
    It only took me about 7 months to learn the worth of version control. 10k lines of code with 1 developer, I couldnt live without subversion.

  8. Re:Cancer, aging. on Tumor-suppressing Gene Contributes to Aging · · Score: 1

    One of the key things behind cancer is your cancerous cells begin producing telosomes which repair the telomeres in your genome. Telomeres are a repeating sequence at the end of your dna that gets chopped off 3 at a time every time your cells divide. Telosomes naturally occur in certain places where constant cell division is a requirement (such as in your bone marrow for red blood cells). When you begin running short of telomeres is when you begin to become "old".

    Actually even with 1 developer SVN or CVS are huge benefits, what if that developer introduces a bug? with subversion you can go through and look to see when that bug was introduced and roll it back. You'd be hard pressed to roll it back with just tarballs.

    The final Release Candidate should have no changes between it and the final except perhaps version strings.

    the point was that while combustion temperatures may be initially reduced, the egt temperatures are much higher with nitrous instead of lower as the parent implied.

    despite having about 50 (standard 4 cylinder) or more parts doing reciprocal motion all day long, 100s of times per second. woah man, what car do you drive? 3000 rpm (usually 75mph in a 4 cylinder) is only 50 revolutions per second (3000/60) even at 6000rpm (a quite high engine speed) you are only doing 100 revolutions per second. 100s of revolutions per second is 12,000 rpm... very few production vehicles turn that speed... in fact i can only thing of one car that holds that speed, the rx8 has a redline of around 10k rpm.

    I actually start slowing down well ahead of the light to avoid using my brakes, and exactly my tax dollars are already paying for the lights to come on, so why do my tax dollers need to buy these things, pay for the lights, and then have my gas pay to run these things? i'm paying 3 times to turn on the light.

  19. Noooo way on Ramp Creates Power As Cars Pass · · Score: 1, Insightful

    No way I would avoid any roads with these, that energy the ramp "creates" it is really sapping from the vehicle. Heres an idea, since I was already taxed for purchasing the gas USE THAT MONEY TO POWER THE LIGHTS.

Power was out in both of these areas and my girlfriends house in Walker still doesn't have cable (so no cable internet) cellphones are a much better alternative to internet in many situations.

    My assumption is that this RNA is inhibitting the telosomes, in which case with continued treatments, the cancer should not come back. But what happens with things like bone cells? Will it tend to inhibbit their telosomes over time as well?
