Just came back from Taiwan and used my GPS for precisely this, it was a late flight in and I really needed to get off at the right stop, I did not want to be wandering the streets at night. In this case asking the bus driver was not an option, as he spoke no English.
April 16 Ariane 5 Herschel & Planck Launch time: approx. 1230 GMT (8:30 a.m. EDT) Launch site: ELA-3, Kourou, French Guiana
Arianespace Flight 188 will use an Ariane 5 rocket with an ECA upper stage to launch the European Space Agency's Herschel and Planck observatories. The Herschel infrared telescope will study the evolution of stars and galaxies and the Planck spacecraft will observe the cosmic background radiation left over from the Big Bang. [Jan. 14]
We present single-molecule, real-time sequencing data obtained from a DNA polymerase performing uninterrupted template-directed synthesis using four distinguishable fluorescently labeled deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs). We detected the temporal order of their enzymatic incorporation into a growing DNA strand with zero-mode waveguide nanostructure arrays, which provide optical observation volume confinement and enable parallel, simultaneous detection of thousands of single-molecule sequencing reactions. Conjugation of fluorophores to the terminal phosphate moiety of the dNTPs allows continuous observation of DNA synthesis over thousands of bases without steric hindrance. The data report directly on polymerase dynamics, revealing distinct polymerization states and pause sites corresponding to DNA secondary structure. Sequence data were aligned with the known reference sequence to assay biophysical parameters of polymerization for each template position. Consensus sequences were generated from the single-molecule reads at 15-fold coverage, showing a median accuracy of 99.3%, with no systematic error beyond fluorophore-dependent error rates.
...More importantly, something which interfaces with bibliographic software well, and produces high quality PDFs. (Bibtex does a decent enough job, but I find that it's plagued by the same problems as LaTeX.)
Thanks, I'm on windows now, havent tried a linux distro in a few years (apart from data recovery boot cds). I have a Cort Action bass, with an Ibanez SW20 amp.
I found that Audacity can reduce tempo without changing pitch, but it "sounds weird" to me somehow, not just slower.
Ditto on that, I did my Microbiology thesis in LaTeX, no maths in it. The best bit was at the end making the suggested changes of the examiners---it was trivial to move tables and sections around, and the numbering changed automatically. One of my friends is still going making those manual changes in Word.
I think rather than donate money; the first step is to get somebody who could design their way out of a paper bag. That "mock-up" is utterly hideous. There is no way I would download software based on such a poorly designed amature advert.

Yes off for me as well, thanks for the link to change the option.
No, its is exactly what you are thinking.
Like the NZ Open GPS Project for New Zealand:

Yeah we get all those too, on free-TV too I should add. Maybe it is the poor quality transmission, but is there something weird with Lehrer's eyes?
My favourite non sci-fi export would have to be NCIS.
Family guy has been broadcasted in New Zealand for years. Ditto Simpsons, South Park, King of the Hill...
You really need to read "Rammer" by Larry Niven.

Abstract:
We present single-molecule, real-time sequencing data obtained from a DNA polymerase performing uninterrupted template-directed synthesis using four distinguishable fluorescently labeled deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs). We detected the temporal order of their enzymatic incorporation into a growing DNA strand with zero-mode waveguide nanostructure arrays, which provide optical observation volume confinement and enable parallel, simultaneous detection of thousands of single-molecule sequencing reactions. Conjugation of fluorophores to the terminal phosphate moiety of the dNTPs allows continuous observation of DNA synthesis over thousands of bases without steric hindrance. The data report directly on polymerase dynamics, revealing distinct polymerization states and pause sites corresponding to DNA secondary structure. Sequence data were aligned with the known reference sequence to assay biophysical parameters of polymerization for each template position. Consensus sequences were generated from the single-molecule reads at 15-fold coverage, showing a median accuracy of 99.3%, with no systematic error beyond fluorophore-dependent error rates.
All I need is a few of these cells in my fingertips ...
Yeah I liked the old episodes, just go in expecting that and not alien ships emerging from Antarctica.
I can see how some would not like it though.
Just saw the X-files movie. No spoilers here but it was just like watching one of the old TV episodes. But longer.
...More importantly, something which interfaces with bibliographic software well, and produces high quality PDFs. (Bibtex does a decent enough job, but I find that it's plagued by the same problems as LaTeX.)
Endnote to BibTex isn't that hard. Look I even wrote a tutorial: http://www.rhizobia.co.nz/latex/convert.html
Oh no, and I though it was just a movie...
Serious question. Can Open Office do track changes?
Thanks, I'm on windows now, havent tried a linux distro in a few years (apart from data recovery boot cds).
I have a Cort Action bass, with an Ibanez SW20 amp.
I found that Audacity can reduce tempo without changing pitch, but it "sounds weird" to me somehow, not just slower.
I appreciate the help.
I have just started to learn bass. How can I strip out the low end in audacity?

But they accept PDF right? so just run it through pdfTeX
Are you suggesting you can use TeX documents in `Goffice', because that would solve a few problems of mine.
errrm, actually 1 mL of water weighs 1 g not 1 mg.
We have had this in New Zealand for a while now, the product is Ripe Sense invented by scientists at Hort Research New Zealand.

Well all genes start with the sequence "ATG" and end with a stop sequence eg. "TGA" (there are several). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codon
There are a lot of exceptions to all of this, eg. stop codons, RNAs, psuedo genes ect.. But it is generally true from a computational point of view.
