  2. Re:Prior art on Whole Organ Grown In Animal For First Time · · Score: 1

    Longer, if you think about it. Before you were distinct from your mother, you were a parasite within her. Before that, you were an egg cell in her ovaries. She was born with the egg that later became you intact, so you are as old as your mother is. But what is true for you is true for her; she is as old as her mother. You are as old as your grandmother. You are as old as the predecessors of humanity. You are an ancient entity that has periodically (no pun intended) remade itself based on external genetic material.

    Most of /.'s opposition to government mandates (laws) about firearms aren't their concern for hunters and hobbyists.

  7. Re:2,500L @ $1/L vs. $millions. Liberal math. on Walmart Unveils Turbine-Powered WAVE Concept Truck · · Score: 1

    I propose that the weight savings will result in trucks that are more heavily loaded, not lighter trucks going down the road. Logistics is expensive, and if you're running into legal weight limits, a lighter trailer cal allow heavier loads --> fewer trips --> greater savings in driver time, trucks, maintenance, fuel, etc.

    This may be negligible due to the low density of packaged consumer products and volume limitations.
