While mammals have many things in common the gut fauna of humans is different of mice's. They were immune to diabetes to begin with, so I think they are not a good model at all for these studies. Sure, the researchers found a way to give them diabetes, but that doesn't mean that human diabetes has the same cause.
I think it's no surprise that after the radicalization of the copyright lobby the Pirate Parties that appeared to counter it also became very radical. The problem is, if they want to win the public that is infuriated by the overreaching copyright laws, they have to offer a viable alternative. But that would require more thinking and intelligence than the "abolish all copyright laws!" mantra.
These are the costs record labels charge for their own services. The problem is that record labels are just part of the Big Media conglomaration that owns studios, radios, TVs etc. And it's very hard to get around them, an artist trying to freelance will not get any radio or TV time because they are owned by the same cartel that owns the record companies. Now with online stores and radios starting to gain popularity, there is a way to circumvent them, and this is what makes these companies really afraid, not piracy. Piracy has been there for generations, but now there is a new business model that could turn the whole market upside down. This is why the media cartel tries to outlaw any technology that could be used to compete them.

there are several different ways of measuring the distribution of dark matter among various clusters of galaxies, and they are giving remarkably consistent answers.
Those ways (like this one) measure gravitational anomalies. They are not proof that these anomalies are caused by some kind of non-radiating matter.
The main problem with dark matter theories (mind you, there are many of them that each have a different candidate for the role of dark matter), is that they are not full theories. They don't tell anything about how this matter would behave, so no predictions can be based upon them. If some of those theories got refined to the point where a prediction on the distribution of the matter could be made, they could be compared with the observations. That would be the true test of these theories.
Still, it seems to be the most logical explanation at the moment, at least most of these theories don't require a change in physical laws. It might be the case that GP merely confused this with another set of dark matter theories that aim to explain the galactic rotation curves, those have much more problems.
This is still just speculation, even if the company is a propaganda device, it's not necessary the CIA that is behind them. And if they were, they wouldn't just tell it to every developer. The whole point of a front company is to keep the identity of its owner a secret.
Batteries are more efficient in energy/mass ratio than feeding is. Which means, the insect either has to bring food with it, which is inefficient, or have to find some and feed on spot, in which case it can't be remote controlled.
A nuclear plant needs to be secure constantly, it's a very bad idea to build one in an unstable country. What will happen is that the UN will have to guard it every time some fights break out.
Unfortunately it's mostly academic for now because few displays are capable of accurately rendering a great deal of the tonality those color spaces represent, because 1) DVI is limited to 8 bits per component, and 2) at a certain point you basically need more physical color components, like yellow and violet 'subpixels'. Example: the expensive LaCie monitors some professional designers and photographers like to use can render 100%+ of the NTSC color space, and 98% of Adobe RGB 1998, but still, the human eye can see a lot that these color spaces can't produce.
While a display might not be enough, the extra detail comes handy in photoprinting.
So you've factored in 'possibility'. What about 'impact'. So are you saying that nuclear accidents are so rare that it is OK to kill off or severely impact or shorten the lives of dozens or more people whenever it does happen? That's a pretty stupid notion if you ask me.
Every industry has a risk. It's sad when accidents happen, but we can't defend against everything. If they become widespread, those hospital robots could help far more people than nuclear accidents would claim.
With nuclear accidents being extremely rare there is no point in designing robots specifically for them. Those models would most likely become obsolete without ever being used.
While my comment was admittedly cynical, I do believe in democracy (maybe because I'm still young:) ). People have, in fact become much more educated over time. 100 years ago most people spent 4-8 years in school, now it's 12-20 years. Society developing, and in places where democracy has been around for long enough (like in Western Europe) it starts to stabilize and become more and more effective. Sadly, this is a very slow process, and sometimes I get the feeling that bureaucracy, legal and financial systems and even technology develops (and gets more complicated) faster than society can learn.
What I meant in my comment is that the of the leaders are tied in this matter because the public opinion became anti-nuclear after the Fukushima hysteria.
You are confusing the legal meaning of opinion with the verbal meaning of the word. When you say that someone is an idiot, it counts as your opinion, and you don't have to prove that the person in question has some kind of mental illness.

Contrary to popular belief, balloons still can't fly in space.

They are planning to add all Google services, not just +.
Or at least make it optional. When I search the web, I want to search the web and not my emails.
Because the CEOs of big companies will spread their own agenda instead of technological insight. Also, a Google representative was already heard.
What is needed is a modern typesetter profession
Webdesigners?
You might not, but there are many people who already do. Imagine what would happen if all of them were let out of prisons tomorrow.

Because it would give the big studios an unfair advantage.
Any artist of any form worth their salt is doing it because they geinuinely like the artform, and would do so pay or no pay.
They may like it, but if it doesn't pay the bills they will have to find some real work, degrading art to only a hobby.

The fact that even 45 year olds showed decline indicates that it starts earlier than the sample.

I'm curious about the legality of blocking another EU site, it is contrary to the single market.

The tidal wave was expected to happen 1000 years later, actually.

There are days when I think the inmates are running the asylum.
You have just described how democracy works.
If they can't guarantee a safe lifetime of 40 years, they won't build it in the first place.
