It is believed by many scientists that aging is a protection mechanism from mutation by slowing down metabilism, and thus reduce the need to create new cells. The drawback of course is age-related problems.
This in my opinion would only make things worse. As you live you are exposed to radiation. You're saying the longer a cell leaves its DNA uncopied, the less chance for mutation there is? That is wholey wrong. The longer between copies the more chance for mutation there is. Imagine halving the mitosis rate, and assume that damage from radiation is statistically once per copy. You're now talking 2 damages before mitosis. When those two finally divide, you're looking at 4 new cells with 4 mutations each. had you left it alone, you'd be looking at 4 new cells with 2 mutations each. If you double the mitosis rate, you then have a 50/50 change of mutation, and as a result, you'll be working with DNA much longer.
You have to imagine your DNA as an archery target. The longer it is exposed, the more damage will be done to it by archers. If you zerox the target more frequently, you'll see less holes in subsequent copies of the archery target.
Bacteria recreate themselves several times a day. This keeps a very fresh, intact copy of in circualtion. (This is the reason stomach lining cells are used in cloning, they are replaced a lot fore frequently and therefore are better to get your DNA from.) There is a whole lot less risk of radiation punching a hole in their DNA when it's copied that often, not to mention a hole in their DNA is a lot more fatal when you are only one cell reproducing asexually.
Your DNA will become increasingly damaged. Cancer will run rampant. We'll have drugs by then to keep the cancer down, but eventually your DNA will look like swiss cheese. You can't fix that, unless you can some how store a copy of your DNA somewhere with 0 radiation and copy from that on a regular basis. Failing that, you'll live to turn into a giant sack of tumors. We already know that everything (even celery) gives you cancer.
I'd rather live short and dignified, than to die a blob of genetic mutations.
I have an old empeg. No longer made, but they still find time to make refinemenats toit. They are a bunch of linux geeks like the rest of us. Since Tremor (the fixed-point Ogg decoder) came out, there's not been any reason to not have Ogg. They've got a tight code base too, and if they can find the time, the old empeg people might get the capability to play Ogg, which is something I've been requesting a while. But these discontunued products are last on the priority list. The 3.0 alpha code plays on the player, and when it goes beta, we (empeg owners) might just get Ogg...
I've done side work for years. Never made much at it. My parents told me to never talk about money, and so I feel uncomforable at billing time doing something I enjoy.
I really need to know how much to bill grandma.
$30/hr for a not related grandma? $45/hr for others? $90/hr for PHBs?
Of course it'll vary depending on the work and the client, bit some pricing structure would be of great help to me!
If it is beneficial to the content creator as such.
Here we will legitimately need DRM - in the way that it should be implemented. We need a away to track content to its creaor and not have people reassign the creator.
Then we need a societial or business system that rewards these creators. Gaining an audiance these days is easy, gaining a following is not. Once people see it, and appreciate it, those they have to be able to reward the content creator in some way. Usualy this is money... But that's not what's happening now. We have this Open Content system going on now, and it works. But not as you expect. A lot of open source project leaders start or pick up projects for the recognistion, which then leads to employment and jobs. I've seen this time and time again. Case and point: Linus. At transmeta he was aloowed to work on the kernel all he wanted. At his previous employer too. The talent in open source generally gets recruited for f/t, p/t contract work...
But we're not talking about software, we're talking about media (Ironically, both are covered by copyrights...) and until there is a system in t place (an Open Content recording studio, printing press, or the like) Open Content won't get too far. For it is only in the tangeble items that we buy that we are addured some kind of sales figures.
I'd figure that if you burn out a liver, then it's only a matter of time before your blood turns toxic and kills you. In theory, this should have killed the rats...
This would cause caleries to be burnt all around. The electrical impulse just says "contract" where the energy comes from for the muscled to do that though is your blood stream.
Not only that, but he increased muscle mass would help to burn caliries 24/7.
Take that ATX power supply and hook it up to your muscles. Write a small perl script to control the shocks it gives you while you sit there at the computer. After a month or so you should be pretty damn buff.
While all tooth paste is mildly abrasive, the whitening ones are more abbrasive. You are not supposed to use whitening tooth pastes all the time. Eventually, you'll wear down your enamel.
Remember the key to life: everything in moderation.
Um, like people nt he UK care about their teeth? I've always thought it was a stereo type and/or a big joke. But it actually is true. Worst teeth evar.
Agreed. And I think the biggest culprit is our orbit. If you take a look at average tempuratures for the last couple million years, you'll see a long term cycle and a short term cycle. Combined, they result in a rollar coaster ride that correlates to ice ages and the like. We are indeed in a warming trend, as inicated by our distance from the sun.
But getting back to what I said before, we should endeaver to minimize our impact in all ways.
Even if global warming is natural - either through cosmic rays or volcanoes or cow flatulance, it is irrelevant to the problem at hand. We should always strive to not contribute (read: accelerate) the problem, and we should even work against it in some respects.
Global warming whether natural or man-made is a concern for all of us. We KNOW it is happening and we know WHY and HOW. We can't yet acertain WHO is repsonble and to what extent. We are still figuring that out. But we also do know that our involvement in the equation is at least not trivial. We should at the very least seek to minimize that.

Nah, we invented it. It's ours to own. Hopefully this wil be the motivation everyone needs to geton the ipv6 bandwagon. I mean, enough addresses for every atom in the solarsystem, and then some. And there aren't more Asians than atoms.

You still have to have rights to the memory though. That depends on OS and MMU.
The null-termination thing is without bounds checking. A simple strlen[strlen(str)]=0; is enough to crash a computer. What's more is it takes O(n) time to fins strlen
Vector based strings strlen is O(1), and you get bounds checking and all that.
The other reason is because DLL exports don't match up between versions. They match up enough to get the link done, but a small change of a return value semantics ina function is enough to send most programs into a GPF.
That solution is to do away with libraries, and link to functions only. Rather than have glibc, allow a program to call out to any version of any glibc function in existance.

You can change KDE just as much as you can change GNOME to be some interface that you only see in movies.
Just because yuo don't like the default is no reason to say it sucks. Many users like the fact that the default is so much like windows.
