There's a few good books that are English translations of books published in Japan. Research has been continuous in Japan, unlike the US, and Japanese researchers have a much better handle on the science than US researchers.
Virtually none of the real-mode code in the BIOS is ever used anymore. Any system that can boot DOS bare-metal would have plenty of room for code that is never used on normal systems.
She wasn't "the" mitochondrial eve of humanity -- she was "Mitochondrial Eve" -- a very specific discovery. There's no suggestion that "Mitochondrial Eve" was Eve in the biblical sense. She wasn't a great great great (great... great) grandmother of everyone -- she just happens to have the oldest set of mitochondrial DNA that is common to all currently living humans. There were likely a huge number of people when she was alive with that same mitochondrial DNA, and it was that population that survived.
Now with BSG its a little more interesting, since her mitochondrial DNA was Cylon. There's a subtle implication there that the reason we have two completely different sets of DNA today in our cells is because part of it is Cylon DNA. I think people may have missed that subtlety because people may not be widely aware we have two completely separate sets of DNA, but I thought it was a really cool "twist" to the story. (And a twist that couldn't have been told without the flash forward to the present...)
If anything I think that may have been the entire point of the finale, and perhaps even the series... that race doesn't matter, that politics doesn't matter, that theology doesn't matter.
While I agree with some posters that the show should've ended with Adama on the hill, I think the bit with Hera *was* the point... probably one that assumed too much knowledge on the part of the viewer.
You must not have a lot of work to do if you've got time to dig through a Subversion tree looking for submits by a candidate.
The GP is right -- glance at the resume, see if they've got relevant experience, into the round gray file if they don't.
Discussions of what open source they've worked on, or their hobbies or anything else might come up in an interview.
The answer to the original questioner? Start at the bottom, or find some small company to be a big fish in a small pond at for a few years and work your way up.
Its probably a bad assumption that the human experimenters have free will -- there's no real evidence to support that and a reasonable bit to suggest that free will is nothing but a "fantasy" our brains make up after the fact to justify a decision or action.
Sort of a dirty secret of cognitive science. If there's free will, there's not much chance its concious free will.
While you may be correct in this case, being good at one thing doesn't mean being bad at another... not having been exposed to something does.
If a bacteria that is resistant to heat or antibiotics was in a high UV environment, there is nothing that requires, or even suggests, that it would lose its previous resistance as part of gaining a UV resistance. I'm not even sure where you'd get that idea?
Now, its likely if this bacteria has evolved at that high altitude or came to be there through some sort of exogenesis that it hasn't been *exposed* to high temperatures or antibiotic chemicals but its lack of resistance to them has nothing to do with its UV resistance.
Perfect example (and unfortunately I can't back it up but the source I read it in was reputable, even if I can't recall where it was...):
It would take saving 5000-7000 paper cups to break even on the energy and resources used to make a ceramic mug when you take manufacturing and washing into account (unless you recycle the paper cups, which counterintuitively makes the ceramic mug break even vastly sooner).
Its easy to assume incorrectly which side of the throw-away vs recycle vs reuse equation actually comes out ahead.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually in most cases cable companies lease pole and underground conduit space from the power company... the same as the telcos do.
RIGHT.
Thats what I was going to say.
Or we'll have discovered it WAS aliens all along!!!!!
Unless they hook them up backwards, then the magic blue smoke comes out, too.
What is this in-flight meal you speak of?
No, not the NID -- that was just another branch of the Airforce, but the NID had their fingers in it from time to time.
Remember, Carter worked at Area 51 for a while.
Oh jeez, I'm about to nerd myself here... but no, the American one was the Russian one on loan to the US...
Yow, just be careful where you sit.
Not that there is anything wrong with that ...
Its EMS for the new generation!
(And yes, I just dated myself...)
If only Google would add number porting...
They talked about it for ages with Grand Central ...
All right, but apart from the Pretty Pictures, Light-Emitting Diodes, Infrared Ear Thermometers, DeBakey's Ventricular Assist Device, Artificial Limbs, Aircraft Anti-Icing Systems, Highway Safety Grooving, Improved Radial Tires, Chemical Detection, Video Enhancing and Analysis Systems, Land Mine Removal, Fire-Resistant Reinforcement, Firefighting Equipment, Temper Foam, Enriched Baby Food, Portable Cordless Vacuums, Freeze Drying Technology, Water Purification, Solar Energy, Pollution Remediation, Better Virtual Software, Structural Analysis, Internet-Connected Ovens, Powdered Lubricants, Improved Mine Safety and Food Safety Systems, what have we ever gotten from NASA?
If they invented the shift key, I'm comin' after them...
This one is also excellent ...

If its not fusion, its sure something similar because transmutation happens with regularity as well.
The article makes it sound like its been 20 years since any research groups have published success with this sort of research.
Thats perhaps true of the US, but its been studied, published on and researched consistently since politics drove it to be a taboo subject in the US.

Then 150,000 years later it could come crashing back down, thankfully cloaked, into San Francisco Bay!
Pointers?
I asked a question about pointers in an interview once... the answer, paraphrased was:
"Pointers? Here's a pointer. If you're not writing device drivers, use a language like C# or Java that doesn't have them."
He got hired. I needed a Java guy who solved problems in a Java way.
*unzips*
I hope so!

Or someone who never owned an Alpha system.
Strictly speaking you COULD run x86 apps on them, but the performance was abysmal.
I ran my old Sony Ericson T616 through the wash, not once but twice.
Worked fine after. Probably still does years later.
You assume that'll ever balance out.

Apparently neither of you have been to Massachusetts ...
