Hi. "Ethical" vegetarian here. I'm not sure I would consider this meat cruelty-free, I might label it something along the lines of "cruelty-lite". My understanding is that they are cloning muscle cells from pre-existing animals, but from what I read of the article (everything after page 1 was slashdotted) they are cloning pre-existing animal tissue. So you may be able to take one cow (or one cow muscle cell) and produce a much larger chuck of "meat" from it, but the original cell had to come from somewhere.
But hey, I'm not that "ethical". I eat cheese. I eat eggs (from "free range" farms only) and I don't snub my nose at a bite or two of turkey on Thanksgiving. Like many of "us", I wasn't born vegetarian. That said, I'd really like to see something like this take off, although it may be a long time before I can convince my wife to let me bring it into the house.
The part that bugs me most abotu this technology is they are (talking about) producing large quantities of meat from a (very) small stock. I'm sure mutations will thrive there, but IANAGE.
Yikes. Reminds me of a MacWorld Expo years ago (January 1998) when Adobe was showing off it's latest and greatest version of photoshop, on a windows box that crashed 4 times during the presentation.
Apple will prevent anyone from booting OS X on a non-Apple system via their proprietary boot ROMs and vigorous legal defenses.
I could be 100% wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm 100% right here, Apple hasn't used "proprietary roms" to "force" anyone into booting Mac OS on "Apple Made hardware" in years. Several years. This is why I can run OSX on my linux box running PearPC WITHOUT an Apple Rom.
Apple Says it won't "allow" Mac OSXX86 to run on non-apple x86 boxes, but I have a feeling that means "It's illegal" and "we won't support it" not "it's not possible".
Yeah, linux / WiFi can be a pain if you don't have something properly supported:)
She's got a NetGear MA-521 which I got to work under redhat 9 (with much effort) documented here for anyone interested, and there's also a good ndis wrapper tutorial for this card here.
My plan though, is just to get a plain-jane orinoco/hermes card for about 20 bucks... actually already have a "spare" that she could use (I know this particular card to work out of the box on most linux distros) but I already have plans for that in my old POS omnibook.
The motivation for using GNU/Linux is that it fits your needs, not that it is Not Windows
I agree with this 100%. I use linux every day of my life, because it does what I need it to do. My wife, on the other hand, needs Windows for work and play. But she uses Mozilla under windows, her email is acessed through the web browser, with the great leaps that ooffice is making, and now that there is a jukebox program that supports her mp3 player (and not one that requires me to purchase a commercial linux OS) there will soon come a time when she will no longer "need" windows, as she will be able to do everything from fedora. She's looking forward to that day as much as I am.
Of course, this means we will have to purchase a wifi card that linux supports (her current card is problematic at best, but runs fine under windows), but that's not a big deal.
It's almost like there's some sort of back-up "Science RNA". If Science changes incorrectly (The earth is flat and the Sun rotates around it!) The back-up RNA (aka Scientists) automagically re-mutate the incorrect change into the "correct" version.
You are closer to correct (at least, as correct as the bible). The 40 days/40 nights was (I believe) in reference to the flood. 30 days was how long Jesus fasted in the desert. 3 days was how long Jesus was dead before the resurrection. six days is how long it took to create the earth (God rested on the 7th day, where we get the Sabbath, remember:)
Uhhh, except that some monkey do have opposable thumbs, so it can't be the "only" thing. Read the faq (number 23): http://www.primates.com/faq/index.html
They tried this in Oregon, and it was met by a resounding "fuck no". I'm surprised they are even trying this, when you look at the lack of common sense taken to propose this bill in the first place. Take these grossly exagerated examples, for instance:
Vehicle A: A hummer. it weighs 6 tons, it gets 5 miles to the gallon, and it costs half a million dollars to purchase. (yes, those numbers are all made up)
Vehicle B: An 80cc Honda elite (scooter). it weighs like, 100 pounds. it gets 60+ miles to the gallon, costs well under a grand.
Who's damaging the roads? Vehicle A. Who's paying more for gas? Vehicle A. Who can afford to pay more for gas? Owner of vehicle A. Who gets screwed by a bill like this? Owner of vehicle B.
To me it's very simple. INCREASE THE PRICE OF GASOLINE. Those who are responsible with the roads, who drive smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles (gas/electric hybrid, for instance) are being penalized because daddy's little princess (or prince) wants to drive a big road-tearing military grade vehicle 10 miles to work every day. Make gas cost 10 bucks a gallon, people will take the goddamn bus to work, or drive a vehicle that is less damaging to the roads, or pay out the ass, and provide enough money for road repair.
To me that makes a lot more sense than keeping track of every (free?????) citizen's wherabouts.
I couldn't find a download either. and apperently you can buy them for 20 dollars, but they *only* work with linspire. If I'm incorrect, please someone let me know, the only thing keeping my fiance on windows is her Mp3 player, if it would worth with linux she'd make the switch immediately!
We've been a redhat shop for years, and with the birth of "Enterprise" redhat, we've gone with that. Packages with bugs, security holes, etc. are fixed in a very timely manner, and you are alerted when new software comes out, along with what was fixed in it. You can choose whether or not to upgrade, at your leisure. The paid subscription gives you access to their up2date repo's which are (in my opinion) very speedy downloads. 3rd party Hardware/software vendors generally write their stuff with redhat systems in mind, so you have a larger software/hardware supported list. Good stuff. I've played (ran a web/mail/dns server, installed handwriting recognition/X windows on a 486 stylistic, etc.) with debian and while I loved it for it's apt-get command, I didn't see any other advantages over redhat (which are all fixed with up2date), but things that I took for granted on redhat (colorized fonts in vi, chkconfig, a "sensible" place to keep network scripts, etc.) were not "instantly" present in debian. You are more than welocme, of course, to tune it how you want. If you want something that just works OOB though...
If you want something that doesn't require a subscription, then you may want to use fedora, which is just behind redhat's bug fixes, and a bit more cutting edge with new software.
Your mileage may vary, but I'd give redhat a shot.
Our line was the same way, I believe many were for a time. Our first touch-tone phone had a switch on the back to emulate pulse dialling. You'd press "8" and have to listen until the clicks were done before you could hit the next yeay, otherwise they'd step on eachother. it was a pretty crappy phone.
If you have physical access to the machine, there's no reason to exploit it. Best case scenario you edit 1 line in the grub conf anf get root. worst case scenario you steal the hard drives and mount them in your box at home.
While blocking all international email traffic may not be a viable option, blocking all international email traffic originating in "some small poor nation willing to let these paracites[sp] stay" is. Seriously. If all spam originated in, like, "Spamolia", I'd vote to just cut them off.
How did a nation so small and poor get the bandwidth to send all this spam anyway?
'Enterprise' Should change it's themesong to something that isn't completely stupid. How about something "futuristic" or something? I mean, ST:E is still in teh "future", right?

It's just you. Any reasonable person I know does not equate "living in a third world country" with "being a terrorist".

I think it's safe to say they have some OSX machines over at microsoft, what with developing applications for the macintosh and all that.

Wow. This "new" service from Flexcar has been available for at least 5 years in Portland. Nice. Just, really... nice. so new. 5+ years new.

I don't think WW's character was old enough to grow facial hair at that time.
Like my daddy always said, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."
