I like Triops better. I'm growing some right now. I've got a webcam on them do I can watch them swim about. They grow fast - they can double in size in a day!
I don't believe that "a fast track through the FDA" is ever advisable for any new drug meant for human consumption.
I respectfully disagree. I think FDA should allow a terminally-ill patient to volunteer to participate in an advance human trial, given that some VERY BASIC toxicity tests have been performed (by which I mean that it won't outright kill humans at the lowest intended dose). This may help the individual, but will definitely help the research into the drug for everyone else.
I must agree that the TV's in Scotland are as described. There is a physical switch marked "Power" on the device, and a button on the 'mote marked "Standby".
Not to me in this image. The line looks more like a merging of the surrounding material with an external source of stuff, kinda like a weld. It doesn't seem to be raised or depressed, just disturbed.
The lines and blobs look a whole lot like the spatter and slag that results from arc or MIG/TIG welding. Perhaps the lines and blobs were formed from molten material landing back on the surface after an impact.
Way to go! 5 WPM Morse code is not that hard to learn - there are practice programs out there that really help. You'll love the adventure of HF radio - I remember chatting with a ham in Russia using a 25W 10m mobile radio whippin' down I-64 to Virginia Beach.
...a gun and ammo so this stuff doesnt get stolen...
I'm very pro-firearm, but in this case be careful transporting and possessing firearms across state borders. Law differ wildy; you could find yourself in a heap of trouble totin' a gun around. Also, unless you're well-trained and experienced handling a firearm, you're probably better off leaving it at home.
My 60GB iPod photo screen is terribly scratch-prone. I carried it home in the fleece-lined pocket of my coat, and it got a huge round scratch from the earbud - with the fuzzy cover over the earbud!
They think the mere fact that an embryo has the potential to become a human being gives it moral value, makes it "worthy of being saved." This is because they know human beings have moral value, and so conflate "a thing with potential to be something of moral value" with "a thing that has moral value."
I think you overlook the millions of people that believe that an embryo is a human being, not something that has the potential to become a human being; therefore making the rest of your argument spurious.
Thank you for a well-reasoned and informative reply! IANAAEBIDMIP (I an not an astronomer either, but I did minor in Physics).
On another tangent, wouldn't a magnetar's extreme magnetic field work to either trap or expel any unbound electrons either in the star itself or around it? As I recall, magnetic fields exert a force on a moving charged particle something like -qVxB, forcing the particle to travel in a helix. What effect would such an extreme field have on electrons inside the star? If there were differential motion between the field and particle, I could imagine the electrons churning inside the star in response to field fluctuations, generating heat, if not higher frequency emissions.
There are millions of neutron stars in the Milky Way galaxy... [some]... of which are called magnetars.
Ok, so a magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field. Also from TFA:
A magnetar's interior is a dense, liquid-like mix of neutrons, protons, and electrons...
So, is it a neutron stat or not? I was under the impression that neutron stars were called that because the immense gravitational field squished all the protons and electrons together into neutrons, forming an all-neutron star. It would seem that Wikipedia's definition supports the idea of a non-homogeneous neutron composition. When did it change from being all-neutrons to having a yummy mostly-neutrony center?
The gullies simply did not exist on July 17, 2002.
After looking at the images, I'd say that the gullies became more prominent, but not that they didn't exist. I can clearly see evidence for the source of the more 'northerly' gully as well as a channel leading to an eroded area in the valley for the more 'southerly' gully.
I agree that the findings are very interesting and important, but to state that the gullies "simply did not exist" is overstating the facts, IMHO.
Thanks for the reply. I guess I wasn't clear. That's what I meant by right-clicking in the the original post, "Drag and drop works, as does right-clicking. AARGH!!!".
The most annoying thing about winzip is the apparent inability to create an archive starting with a directory! For instance, if I've got/home/fred/myProject/..., I can't seem to get the winzip wizard to create a zip with the directory myProject and its contents - it always descends into the directory! Drag and drop works, as does right-clicking. AARGH!!!
The gullies may be sites of near-surface water on present-day Mars and should be considered as prime astrobiological target sites for future exploration," said Jennifer Heldmann.
I asked myself the same question. Recently as in the last 100 centuries, or 100 days? I take the above quote to mean the latter.
I'd love to see references to research on this. What else seems to be related to body size? The first thing that pops into my mind is metabolism. Mice burn energy fiercely, humans and elephants less so. Could it be that sleep is required to offset some side-effect of the basic metabolism of energy?

That's funny - just because there are web hits for something, it must exist! I suggest you look for "Perpetual Motion" - 2,510,000 hits on google.

How long do hummingbirds sleep?
... if they incorporated research into sonic boom supression/elimination like this, or this.
I think finding a way to supress the sonic boom so that it can fly over any country is critical to the success of any future supersonic plane.
