I'm glad you brought up David Brin. "Kiln People" should be made into a movie yesterday. And I'd love to see a multi-episode movie series created from the core of his Uplift novels.
The OP makes it sound like you can just apply for a "research" job. I think most jobs in science research are done by Ph.D. level folks, so step one would not be "apply for research job", but "apply to Ph.D. science program."
That is something he shouldn't have a problem with. When I was in a Ph.D. chem program one of my best friends in my class was 35. A few years later we had a 40-pluser come in, though he had dozens of publications already, so that was probably a no brainer for his PI.
In short: Go for it! where it == apply to Ph.D. program.
Why do people assume a bird needs to have some sort of internal magnetic compass to find its way during migration? Can't it look at the sun? You know, like we do?
I think you've been reading the textbook a little too literally. Where does the material to create new viruses come from, thin air? "Consuming" doesn't necessarily mean "eating with a mouth".

Despite the ACs arguing with your "spelling", I think you've summed it up very (+1, Insightfully).
Don't you mean -1/0/1?
You've been reading too much McCaffrey.

Were you going for (+1, Funny)? Cause you got a chuckle out of me.

'Chemical', eh? I think you misspelled 'biological'.
I apologize for not having the mod points to (+1, Funny) your subtle humor. Apparently, no one else noticed.
Did you ever notice that it's a lot easier to enjoy a bad movie than a bad game?
Is this the new Vista catch-phrase? ;
He didn't say they use the tool exclusively.

Forget the Circuit City customers, it'll help all the people with non-Circuit City Chase credit cards sleep easier tonight. Thanks for the info.
This would have been more funny if you'd left it at just the first half of the comment.
(I'm assuming the second AC is the first AC, of course. Someone may have ruined it.)
KQ3 was the best!
"With the 7900, nVidia just looked to shrink some of the components and optimize existing architecture"
That's a big JUST there, fella.
Bad idea. Didn't you guys get the memo?
ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA.
ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE.
Peter, do you me to go ahead and send you another copy of that memo?
Core sample, we need a core sample!
Not that I disagree with your post, but you must be new here. Nope, I see your UID. You must not have been lurking here for the past 6 years.

"How about clicking on any point, and getting its "coordinates" in a popup?"
Just a workaround, but if you click "link to this page" it adds the coordinates to the address bar.
I agree completely with the rest of your gripes, especially exit #s on highways. That's the main thing that makes me pull up mapquest.com.
I'd also like the option to add smaller font-sized street names at zoom levels lower than 3.
Hopefully those beta-crazy Google cats are listening.
...not surprised, just pleased.
Wow! A rebuttal using the phrase "your mom" that actually makes sense!
You, sir, deserve a +5.
Just think of it as a pre-dupe.
What's wrong with this one?

Got mine for $50 and the 120mm fan doesn't contribute any more noise than my CPU cooler or old noisy hard drives.
And here I thought this article would help me at work.
Damn games section.
