That's a vaguely noble sentiment, but if you are working for someone that treats you as a business resource, they aren't going to give a shit about noble sentiments (which brings us back to the not working there).
Humans have a pretty low amount of genetic variability (in relation to species like chimps, which we are closely related to). Dawkin's thinks we all connect back to a single mitochondrial Eve around 140,000 years ago.
A messenger from the land of not understanding the procedure?
See, they take the left over eggs, take out the nuclear DNA, and then insert the nuclear DNA from the mother with the mitochondrial disorder into the egg (mitochondria contain a small amount of DNA that is reproduced separately from the nuclear DNA), allowing them to bear children with their nuclear DNA, but with healthy mitochondria.
And these women with mitochondrial disorders are able to reproduce, they just have all sorts of metabolic problems (because mitochondria are key to metabolism). Using this procedure, they end up with children that are almost entirely a result of their genetics, except without the disease (which is quite close to what you so high-mindedly call for in the second half of your comment).
Oh, and you can rest assured that if there are no issues with putting the procedure into practice, pretty much every mother who understands it and can afford it will use it, there really aren't any advantages to having a broken metabolism.
Huh? How do you understand the mechanism but miss the motivation?
The mothers paying for this are going to be mothers with broken mitochondria, not mothers with normal mitochondria.
So women with mitochondrial myopathies will be able to stick their DNA into a cell with normal mitochondria, thus having a child that is mostly like they are, except without the severe metabolic disorder.
Free of free oxygen (probably). Water is abundant pretty much anywhere there is oxygen present (because hydrogen happens to be nearly ubiquitous...). Of course, it is usually frozen.
Because they, in combination, don't know what they are doing and don't have enough resources.
Saying that they don't know what they are doing is a glib way of saying that the techniques they use are limited in their coverage. Problems they face include the huge number of bodies flying around the solar system and the rather limited visibility of tiny objects like house-sized asteroids.
A 1 TB drive with the chips wired to the controller is going to be fantastically cheaper than 1 TB of chips wired to pins, inserted into plugs wired to the controller.
They aren't noticing drive wear. They are noticing that the drive works faster when it is empty.
It's very much an artifact of the components and design, but it isn't a sign of wear, it is the drive working the way it is supposed to.
People that buy them for fast reads will still be thrilled, people that buy them for fast writes will find out that they are only better than most hard drives.
Firefox is really only a memory pig (and they are actually improving there).
I currently have about 30 tabs open and it is only sipping at 1 core (on a Core Duo at 1.66 Ghz). Flash tends to chew up a lot of cycles (so I run flashblock...).
They started the project to develop a browser that was driven by user requirements (as opposed to the Mozilla suite, which was a behemoth driven by whatever developers were working on, all of the developers with check-in privileges).
Is it a bad attitude? Anyone claiming to be concerned about their personal information isn't really demonstrating those concerns when they hand the clerk a card with their name and account number on it (both are embossed into the card and digitally stored on the magnetic stripe).
Based solely on my experience with annualcreditreport.com, Experian is by far the least ridiculous of the credit agencies, so it isn't surprising that they are doing this.

It is entertaining that a tinfoil hat will work quite well at protecting your wallet from remote scans.
I'd be surprised if we are that different.

There is still a sperm involved here, so there is still a chance of a Y chromosome getting in there.
On the other hand, the research that takes epithelial stem cells and forces them into meiosis could lead to women 'fathering' children.

They claim they are eating and drinking of him, that isn't the same thing as actually doing it.

Is he a sweat zombie, or do you think he has fully decomposed by now?

It's basically impossible to invest in consumer electronics. Poor choice of word there.
They aren't going to connect together with magic.

And you don't even have to mess with it.

"Recent versions" including Word 2.0, which was released in the early 90s.
And the placement isn't obscure.
MS Word has excellent support for styles.
It also makes it possible to bull through manually formatting each line, but I don't think it especially encourages it.
I was mostly kidding. But on some level, I was acknowledging that some people think it is mean to kill and eat cattle.
You have to pay more for it, but range/grass fed beef is mostly only a problem for the beef.

The most bizarre part of it is that he had supporters.
It's Kevin Trudeau. Ideally, he would serve his time in a furnace.
Are you made of metal?

Yeah, I'm sure the decision to do nothing (saving the costs of doing something) is completely unrelated to the profit motive.
