I don't know too much about it other than it existed. The wiki has this to say:
Early attempts at molecular systematics were also termed as chemotaxonomy and made use of proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates and other molecules which were separated and characterized using techniques such as chromatography.

Yeah, the comments here are better, even better than Ars, Anandtech, etc, which always surprises me, given how much better the articles at those places are. That's the moderation system at work though - if I use a flat view, with all comments visible, my opinion of the comments here suddenly drops like a rock.
There was an attempt at a real community here, but it ultimately failed, with many members migrating en mass to other sites, due largely to/. having really poor tools for social stuff. I think/. would be better off if it did embrace the community aspect a bit more, at least providing the tools needed to those that are interested.

So you will be using Safari, I guess? Or IE9 Beta (is video even turned on yet in the beta)?
It never fails to amaze me how many people don't think of this, or do (or have it pointed out), but think it doesn't matter somehow.

Technically, Theora is fairly bad (but still usable in a pinch), and VP8 is alright. Both are excellent for the health of the free and open web.
That is all that matters.
>H.264+AAC, VP8+Vorbis, and Theora+Vorbis.
Nope. h.264/AAC and WebM cover everything - and h.264 is only needed for one browser.
Opera, Chrome, and all Mozilla browsers support WebM, and IE9 will if it is installed as a system codec. Safari is the only one that is h.264 only.
Sorry, I thought I replied earlier.

Uh, no.
Is the Grinch maybe a Who in the same way Gollum is a Hobbit?
>What I don't understand is how they got a patent on MagSafe in the first fucking place.
>*example of prior art*
The USPTO doesn't seem to care much about prior art these days.
I have been seeing more and more microUSB over the last couple years. And micro is stronger than mini.
Self-organized only because the EU threatened to impose it on them if they didn't do it themselves.
Lumping (incorrectly or, in this case, correctly) is generally easier than splitting when not using DNA.
Chemical analysis of various sorts is possible even when DNA analysis is not possible.
For about 2 minutes, until they saw the massive anatomical and chemical similarities, and realized that they could freely interbreed

I remember it well, it was GLORIOUS!
>crocodile people under the Mediterranean sea in "Ilium"
The Med was dry, and there where Calibani (clones of Caliban) there, but they are more fish-man than croc-man
>What a stupid headline. Page views, clicks, etc. Yeah I know.
I expected better from Josh, but I suppose the Comics Curmudgeon site isn't exactly a fount of money, and one needs some of that stuff to get by...
Altavista was never a monopoly, or even close
>spatial management
Death first!
Dr. Ian Malcolm would kick Jeff's ass clear back to the Triassic.
Oh, you mean Conservation of Ninjutsu?
Ha, /. was breaking shit randomly years before FB made it popular.
That said, it seems like I never have any of the problems that other people do with D2.
The book is better
>I'm not Catholic
Heck, I was raised without religion, and have been an atheist as long as I have known what it means, but I know what immaculate conception really is.
Parthenogenesis in Herps has been known for a long, long time.
And birds have been known to do it as well, although it is much less common. It has never been observed naturally in mammals.
