Windows XP SP2 has been out for long enough that their is no excuse for an application that can't run in a LUA environment; the only company that has gotten it right is Sun Microsystems, installing Java is standard for how all software should install on windows. In most software you have to jump through so many hoops to get it installed that most people give up and just run everything as admin. Here's the killer aunt Millie goes to a website and needs to install a plug-in to see all of the content, let's say Flash for Grins and Giggles. She kicks yes and saves to the desktop and now she's stuck it won't install, the easy way around it is to switch users to admin, (wait for all of the crapware to auto-load) and try to remember what site and plug-in she needed and of course she can't. So Now She gets and inspiration, and clicks though my computer, Documents and settings to her user area and access is denied! Curses, not she whiches users back and try to right click the installer and chicks run-as admin, still admin has insufficient privileges to open the file, Aunt Millie is stuck and from now on Aunt Millie is going to run as Admin because its easier and her computer is going to be part of the next bot net.
The problem is you say so many legacy apps need to run as root but in windows their is no root, root is the trusted superuser in *nix, in windows there is admin, the untrusted semi-superuser. Root is your Priest/Rabi Doctor and Lawyer all rolled in to one in the computer context, root is privileged as in Dr-patient privilege, Admin is the asshole one level up trying to get leverage over you or the car mechanic in a one horse town ready to cut your fan belt in the blink of an eye as you pass through.
OBTW do you know how to install software saved on a LUA's desktop? Took two years but I figured it out.
C3 is a computer security rating, basically you can't use windows in a classified environment unless the network is disabled or air-gapped, only connected to computers in the same environment. C4 is the plastic explosive cool stuff, you can jump up and down on it or hit it with a hammer or you can light it to heat your food, no probmlem, just don't jump on it when it's lit or you'll be picking your toes through your nose.
Psst, It's Bob, the avitar that went underground years ago, he's the mastermind behind it, Clippy is just the stooge up front to thake all of the heat, Kill Bob.
Just about anything involved with copyright is like that, historically authors of works got paid very little, because the publishers had everybody by the short-hairs, recently that's reversed somewhat yet still its the residuals that are most attractive. Now self publishing is very possible, it's getting shelf-space that's difficult.
well that can of worms has been blown open: they are suing that the scores are copyrighted for 70 years after the authors death in Europe and 50 in Canada, that he is responsible for any infringement because he the admin, that because it's possible to implement a IP address filtering system to restrict access to persons based on their countries of origin, he responsible to do so in order to restrict access based on the country of origin's laws and that they are going to sue him in Europe and Canada will enforce any judgments.
Maybe they should move the operation to Russia where there is still a chance to be free of being bullied by a foreign country's laws. Boy that's sad, moving to Russia for freedom, who would have though.
Established in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology information, NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information - all for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease
Basically if you publish any peer reviewed scientific papers on gentics, or protiens the sequences have to be entered into the database so just run down to the book store, pickup a copy of "Bioinformatics for Dummies" and have at it.
I think that is about to change, when I grew up everything was OMG red dye #2 and artificial preservatives are so bad. now our kids are going to school hooked on amphetamines for ADD, asthma is epidemic. Clearly the mycotoxins in our food are alot more toxic than the preseritives that were taken out; maybe Grace Slick had it right when she sang "what's preserving your food maybe preserving you".
Wonder if Monsanto will be able to resist making their food crops addictive? After all, they have many times been successful in getting the government to look the other way. no its not patentable, we'd just use SG1 as prior art.
The problem is when you show that their terminator gene destroyed your crop of seed, they counter-sue for patent infringement. They bring in 5 or ten Ph.d.s to depose as expert witnesses at $300.00 an hour and pretty soon your talking a million dollar defense.
The Monsantos and big pharmacoms of the country would love to have their investments patented forever I really don't think so and here's why; study after study has shown plain old ibuprofen is just as effective a pain releaver as anything on the market. So what do people take, whatever is "new" and being advetised on TV that has generated "brand recognition" that's what. People will go to their Dr. and demand an expensive and addictive pain reliever or one with horrendous side effects like death, that isn't anymore effective than taking Motrin in the propper dose. It's all becuse of the marketing hype, and that's expensive to keep going after the new has worn off a drug. People will always want the "new and Improved" over the "tried and true" even if the new isn't improved. I don't see seeds being any different, you get two farmers talking over the fence, on mentions that he just planted the new GM in the back 40 and the other get worried and does the same to keep up with the Joneses.
I Guess that just goes to show you how bad botched Vista.
this one went straight to the chicago trib site, so unless he's got an ad placed on or an agreement with that site he get's zip. I don't think they are submitting his articles if they link to his own site anymore.
actualy tomatoes and tobbaco are supposed to be closely related, i think they are working on a hybrid where only the leaves have nicotine so the fruit is still edible. The nicotine in the leaves would kill the toamatoe worms; they used to use tobacco dust as an insecticide before they used chemicals and it's still available in seed catalogs
He's a professional bloger, probably has several assistants on payroll, and most of his submissions linked to his own blog with numerous adverts getting the slashdot effect. Lately/. haven't been accepting his submissions when they were link to his blog. So yes he just submits article all day long, hoping to get a few on the front page. Honestly other than the obnoxious factor, his submissions are pretty good.
The most common gene in our genome is for reverse transcriprase, a retovirus emzyme, there are 30 full and partial copies of it in us. We carry whole viruses in our DNA and have done so for long than we've been human.
Inserting foriegn chromosomes into plants was my high school science fair project and I graduated in 1973! With a little colchicine you can get some realy bizzaro plants.

It's really hard to read a patent anymore, but some of the claims also sound like a patent on patent trolling.
Like anybody is realy going to run UAC exceoppt Linux geeks who don't know any better, of course you can actualy run that way in Linux.
Maybe they just forgot to reboot the server so the changes didn't take effect

one idea to steer hurricanes is to pull "plows" through the ocean to dredge up colder water to the surface
The other problem is that there are treaties against use weather as a weapon; one mistake and hit Cuba and the whole world will act outraged.
That one was always at least luke-warm.
Yeah they have such killer hurricane in the Mediterranean sea!

There is no death penalty in the US for illegal drug manufacture.
well that can of worms has been blown open:
they are suing that the scores are copyrighted
for 70 years after the authors death in Europe and 50 in Canada,
that he is responsible for any infringement because he the admin, that because it's possible to implement a IP address filtering system to restrict access to persons based on their countries of origin, he responsible to do so in order to restrict access based on the country of origin's laws and that they are going to sue him in Europe and Canada will enforce any judgments.

We'll just release some plants under the GPL v3 and if the patented plants contribute their code to our GPL'ed code, all their patents are ours!

One might argue that because plants are competative that naturally selcted plants would be more likely to aquire toxicity to gain an advantage.
