Certainly if by survive you mean supendining metabolic activity, in a bacteria context it's called sporulative form as oppose to spores in fungi which is more of a "seed-like" form. The bacteria in the article are spore orming, When growing conditions aren't right, they form spores and go into a hardened form of bacteria "suspended animation" until conditions improve. Anthrax does this as the article mentions, I've heard of anthrax spores being infective on the order of decades.
You're going to have to heat the water close to boiling (of Water) to get the disolved O2 out anyways; that's where all of those bubbles come from when you heat water to about 75 C, it's the O2 disolved in the water. It's also why heated water freezes faster, less disolved O2 in it. What's wrong fossil fuel power plant, obviously CO2 and worse emmisions are wrong but those are increasingly controllable at large scale point sources, but the alternative is basicly nuclear fission and we all know the emotional baggage the nuclear option has. With these bugs, a plant can be tweaked to produce predominately CO, the bugs converting to H2 plus sequester the CO2 as bacterial sludge, and any escaping can be captured by technological means at the exhaust stack. Small scale sources are much more difficult to capture emmissions economicaly, things like cars so we switch them to cleaner H2.
Hear Hear, we should all be a fraid of the US-centric administrations given their historic propensity for shoving free-trade down everybodies throats at the expense of domestic trade-unionists! Imagine buy a freaking Chevy that's 60% Mexican made, and 25% Canadian made, at this rate illeagal Mexican imigrants will be going home to find work!

Their website has extensive news in english as well as arabic. I was there quite a bit durring the first part of the war. Their version of the news seemed very slanted to what their intended audiance wanted to hear, which was no real surprise. If your a neo-con right-wing american slashdoter like me and want to get a handle on what stokes the fires of arabic-muslim passion, there is no better place; if your looking for objective coverage, stay away from Al-Jazeera, Fox CNN ect. and try BBC world news instead.
And UN governance would solve this problem in which way? MIT's and Stanford's IP address space is a done-deal unless what we are really talking about is a comunistic style redistribution of wealth via some kind of UN fiat. That is why the US is opposed to psuedo-govenamental influence over ICANN. If China wants more IP addresses than IP4 will allow, let them use IP6, if EU wants more address space than IP4 will allow, let them use IP6, when enough use IP6 to make it difficult to use IP4 then in a blink of an eye everybody will be using IP6.
The reality is that the internet governace is driven bottom-up rather than top-down. The thing that got ICANN off its' ass and open up more gTLDs wasn't the dept. of Comm's influence rather it was offerings from openNIC and others; of course they'd never admit that because it's important to keep up appearences after all.
All of the time, you look at the posting, and a/. editer posts that a second party is writing a brief summary of a more indepth article that clearly listed as the source and with a link to the material in its original context, then puts a more sensationalistic rant at the end. If the "pro" had done the same it wouldn't be plagerism. It would have been interesting to have had links for us to do our own comparisons, especialy if the blog was hosted on a site that automates the inclusion of time stamps.
I'm still baffled by the concept that anyone with a blog would say anything even remotely worth plagiarizing. So if you bloged on a website that expanded on your previously published works in a more chatty tone and give ongoing examples of where your ideas were correct, it would be utter rubbish not worth plagerizing? Bloggers vary from hacks putting out opinonated and unsubstantiated tripe, to authors publishing well documented insightful works just like dead-tree publications. Maybe you're just reading the wrong blogs.
If I had a choise between fiber from Verizon, comcast cable, fiber from the gas company, DSL from a phone company I'd be happy. unfortunately the gas company isn't interested in reading gas and electric meter via fiber and sell me the unused bandwidth, Verizon doesn't seem interest in my area and I'm 28,800 feet from the co and SBC isn't going to change that so my choises are comcast or 28.8Kb dial-up because the copper is that crappy. At least comcast isn't to bad because of competion from the satelite company.
Acutaly if they start discriminating between packets of different origins, it could interfere with their comomon carrier status. If they can expidite packets from let's say yahoo, then they can route packets from a kiddie-porn site to the bit-bucket, If they do discriminate between packets, an arguement can be made that they are responsible, for what's inside those packets. Now they aren't responsible because they move the packets equally. Bell South needs to get their lawyer's involved before they actualy do anything, they probably should have before they started spouting off in interviews. This is a can of worms that they might later wish hadn't been opened.
SCHEDULING is the primary function at my Corporation I wouldn't consider any of the descriptions of the outlook/exchange to be scheduling, to me if it's scheduling software I should be able to have the software search the calender's of all parties involved and present me with a list ordered by best fit with minimal impact, If I'm the VP of Software Development, I sould be able to override events in my progamming and QA Departments because I'm the boss.
I just don't understand MS's security paradigm, the other day I downloaded an upgraded flash player and stored it on my desktop, then I right-clicked to installer and clicked run as admin, Windows XP said I didn't have suffient privelages to open the file! Admin can't open a file saved by a normal user; WTF, that's certainly an unexpected behaviour, especialy to someone who is used to
su -c"rpm --install whatever"
. You'd think that they would write and compile a program
main{exit(0);}
I could just copy it to
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\KVG.exe C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\keks.exe C:\windows\all.exe
He's an intelligent enough man to recognize libel. appearantly he missed the "For a brief time, he was thought... Nothing was ever proven." part which to me says he didn't do what he suggests is libel for saying he did. I bet with very little effort I could find people who think that:
1. Fidel Castro and the Cubans did it because of the cuban missile crisis/bay of pigs. 2. the CIA did it because of the above. 3. The Pope and the Knight of Columbus did it because he didn't cowtow to the Holy See enough. 4. The Mason's did it because he was Catholic to begin with.
Just because a thought is worng, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The Kennedy Brothers were and are very polarizing to the nation; and they steered us through some very perilious times with a combination of machismo, chutzpah and pure luck, we are lucky the world as we know it survived. They were deified and demonize as was anyone associated with them, reporting that it happened isn't libel.
What I like about Wikipedia is most artiicles are extensively linked to external works that I can examine with a click; this means with a little thought I can judge for myself the validity of opposing points of view by checking more authoratative sources. Of course the masses that are used to being spoon-fed the pablum that passes for learning now will not appreciate that nor the people used to spooning it up.
John Seigenthaler Sr. was the assistant to Attorney General Robert Kennedy in the early 1960's. For a brief time, he was thought to have been directly involved in the Kennedy assassinations of both John, and his brother, Bobby. Nothing was ever proven. How is that untrue? I was alive then I remember at first it definately a guilty until proven innocent time until the shock died down. Additionaly tin-foil hat conspiricy theories about the event is a cottage-industry,somebody somewhere thinks Seigenthaler was involved even though the wikipedia article clearly says he wasn't by the For a brief time, he was thought part, personaly I read that as wikipedia exhonorating his name by acknowlegely some knee-jerk suspicion was untrue; which he hadd them take down!

Most of these cars are bought at repo auctions so it goes like this dealer A buys car at auction for $2000.00 dealer A details car and sell for $5,000.00 buyer A gets car and pays $1000.00 before he defaults dealer B buys car at repo auction for $2,000.00 buyer A own creditor $2000.00 ($5k - $1K -$2K = $2K) dealer B details car and sell for $5,000.00 buyer B gets car and pays $1000.00 before he defaults dealer A buys car at repo auction for $2,000.00 buyer B own creditor $2000.00 ($5k - $1K -$2K = $2K) ( a $2K car has generated $6K in sales in probably 18-24 months!)
Wash Rinse Repeat, the only thing this system does is makes sure the the repo man doesn't have to look to far for the car.
I've seen that myself a couple times. I've actualy been involved in events which were unrecognisable when reported, it must be like that game telephone where several people pass along a meassage or story.
Actualy I recently read a guest article in the WSJ written by a law profesor who even quoted the law and made a strong arguement that the law didn't apply to the CIA agent for several reasons, mostly because it's designed to protect field agents rather than desk-jockies that have been at headquaters for more than 5 years.
If you don't know and understand the background of the subject matter then how do you ever hope to be able to know if your getting the facts, carefuly selected facts to spin an article in a desired agendas direction or a bunch of fadist bullshit? Oh sorry I forgot every backwater paper has a Lou Grant type Editor to sort it all out.
We have a fair number of free advertising only or mostly papers in our area. The truth is in the local paper about all I read was the comics, Ann Landers, and the letters to the editor. There was a time I was reading the local articles pretty consistanly, but it not to often your city's mayor gets sent to prison for child molesting.
The Wall Street Journal is actualy a very good paper, reporters have a good deal of expertice is their areas, and the paper has quite a few guest comentators and reporters with 3 letters after their names. I know alot on/. will dismiss the WSJ as a right-wing pro-bussiness rag, but they have also had a series of articles on the front page about drug companies, orphan drugs and such that would compare favorably to any uber-left-wing evil-big-business is evil ranter on this site.
It was weird, but a while ago, I had my Linux box and a WinME box sharing files back and forth, and I'd swear that each OS would load file over the network from a foreign OS faster than they each would off their native hard-drive.
Most company cars are plain stock out of the fleet catalog vehicles like the Crown Vics your city officials probably drive and but some fleet vehicles have 700 cubic inch Keith Black Hemi engines, Nitros oxide, Wrangler run-flat tires and armor plate that'll stop anything short of an anti-tank missile. The right tool for the right job.
You would be right at home in Germany, anything other than a cosmetic change to an automobile needs a safety certificate from the manufacturer, same token if your buying a database server, your going to run the hardware and software that Oracle certifies. Let an Employee use a laptop or desktop do you give him the Admin/root password, change hardware or worry if he can't watch trailers from the porn site or listen to Sony-BMG CD's?
