What about adding citrus smells to human skin to stave off mosquitos, and eyes like a cat to see better in the dark. Sure, you wouldnt want to create something less than human...but an improvement. Would that be such a bad thing, or is there fear of creating something that would supercede us?
Kick your kid in the butt, throw out that Nintendo, chat rooms, demented TV shows, or better yet, sit down with him/her and teach them something. Make sure your kids study for at least 3-4 hours a day (plus or minus depending on how smart they are) and you'll see the results. What? They don't want to? Well, that's where you come in as a parent to make sure you make them. It's either that or let your kids be educated not by books, but by Hollywood and the rest.
Thats assuming our American parents can even teach us things. When I was 15, the math I was doing was simple geometry. I consider my parents intellegent in their own way, but math skills, they did not have. But I agree that a parent, if unable to help their children directly, they can always seek some way to get their child help. Be it a tutor or a friend or seeking extra help from the teachers. My father was from Italy, in the south, where education takes second fiddle to farming, but he actually went to get his High School equivalency at 40 and went on to get a real estate license. He was already a successful resturant owner, so his education was for himself. This didn't quite qualify him to help with my trigonometry homework, but I think if more parents set better examples,.children might try to follow.

AOL has 21 days to remove all 3rd party source code from the builds of all of the products Redhat is acquiring. One of the key components of Enterprise Mail server is the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA).
The MTA is written by Innosoft International (www.innosoft.com). So the question is will they be leaving out a vital component of the mail server or will they just have to give away the MTA as well.
There are theme parks...Jabbas palace is -6000, -6000. Emperors retreat on Naboo, and dozens of other random NPC's who give out these type of missions ranging from criminal to heroic. There are plenty of static spawns to be found. Again on tatooine, there is the jawa-city, tusken raider outpost, krayt dragon graveyard...all of which have those types of creatures spawning there for you to hunt. Heck, you can even get faction points for tuskens and jawas and do missions for them!
The developers are working on the issues of no vehicles, creature mounts, and player cities, which will be released in a decent amount of time. True this game might have benefitted from waiting to get some of these features in first, but investment doesnt last forever and Lucas is the emperor himself. Space expansion is also in the works so you can be that scoundrel. There is a smuggler profession, though it is severly lacking, you can get the ability to pick locks, and hack terminals to give you more money per mission, as well has hack your weapons and armor to boost its features.
The missions from the terminals do get a bit blase as the article said. Go here kill this, or go here and deliver this. But there are some decent missions in game you get from NPC's(Non player characters) that are a bit more complicated. Some missions require you to escort an NPC and hope they dont get killed. I have also seen multi-part quests back in beta where finishing a mission would spawn part2 of that mission...for instance kill some bandits for a mission and he might drop a disc with the location of some hidden loot. You get to the spot and it spawns some guardians you need to kill before you can claim your finders keepers.
True there are no mages per se...but there are for some lucky people who figure it out, jedis. And who would not want to be a jedi, although their live expectancy is short in this game. Basically you unlock another character slot, and that character is a jedi. But unlike your normal character, they can be permanently killed after 4-5 deaths, meaning you have to start them all over again.
The review also didnt touch on the PVP aspect of the game which is important. You can chose to be Rebel or Imperial. If you are openly factioned, you are fair game to be killed by anyone of the opposite faction. Likewise you are free to blast anyone on the other side as well. In addition, the game also supports PA's(Guilds/clans) who can declare war on each other as well. There are battle fields where you can build and fortify a base, and there are no innocent bystanders. You have to chose a side before entering a battlefield. You can place mines, throw grenades, place gun turrents,and wipe out the other side. You can also chose to be a covert rebel or imperial, meaning you are kind of like a sympathiser. Normal overt imperials or rebels do not know you are on the opposite side unless you do something to give your self away, in which case you are temporarily attackable by the other side. Add on the fact that you can command squads of stormtroopers, and wear the armor, and its pretty darn cool.
If advise could be in any form, it would be to enjoy my parents company while I still have them, stay away from the WTC on 9/11/01, and if I ever meet a girl named MJ, give her a kiss because she really would have kissed back.
Since there is no way to make it retroactive, and since there is sure to be a hack for it to circumvent any sensor system, and since you will probably be able to get around it somehow, and since you will be able to buy guns from somewhere that dont have the technology,it is just a means of making it harder to get guns like this in the state, and so that parents who have firearms in the house can feel safer knowing that their child might not find the hiding spot and accidentally kill themselves or someone else.
I think the thing that people need to know is are we using these stem cells just for the research phase, in which we will figure out either how stems cells do what they do so we can turn on these genes in the area that needs fixing, or is it a matter of learning how to make artificial stem cells so we dont end up having to waste a potential life to save a new one...OR will it be an indefinite cycle of always using an stem cells from an embryo to towards a person needing the treatment that they might provide.
Im pretty sure its the former and not the latter, since giving up a potential life just to save another is pretty immoral since that potential life does not have a say in the matter. Im sure it would be very noble of that potential life to want to sacrifice their own existance to save someone, but since they cant quite answer that question themselves, we cant very well allow it.
I am all for the research though. So long as its not always one to one, and there is only an initial cost of so many to kick start the process of knowing exactly how these work or make sythetic ones. We are pretty close I think to understanding it. We know that the body is formed in sequential order in vertabrates as the genes for that process are adjacent from head to toe. We also know about telomerase which trys to fix up the buffer of gene trash that gets used up whenever cells replicate. But these information is much easier to gleam from developing cells which still have these genes turned on or turning on, and off as well.
I have at least 2 good friends I work with at my job, one of them ended up being my roommate. My department is pretty close knit, and we have all hung out after work for beers, or to watch a fight on pay per view, and yes, at a bar-b-que with significant others involved. We each work on seperate projects, but they do intersect from time to time, and I dont find it to be tedious to hang out with them. I met my girlfriend at work, she sys-admins, I engineer, and that works out fine. I think as the current IT industry gets older, and friendships made at work mature, we will see more of the get togethers described in the question above.
I work with a lot of clueless people who have the title "sys admin". Its mostly in big companies who care more about filling seats so they can say we have n people on staff at all times.
I started at my company having a BS degree in Comp Sci, but there are people who I work with who went to school for totally unrelated majors
who do the same thing that I did when I started. Some of them actually do it quite well.
The problem is that for most entry level Sys-admin jobs, once you get over the learning curve (which isnt that high) it gets a bit mundane. Basic trouble shooting includes clearing disk usage, checking to see if a machine is pingable, restarting server processes, checking that backups ran ok, and reading logs. Thus as stated above, anyone can do it. Its second level support and above that gets interesting. You get all the problems no one else could fix.

why did they use her on milo, when there are just as many other geek hopefuls working there, and according to the chap in the beginning who said not many people come to nurv with girlfriends...what makes him such an uber-coder that they need to keep someone on him in case he does start to suspect things...its all too contrived...
