Not exactly - you've got your *definitions* confused there. How is Apache biologically inspired? Ever seen a fish serve web pages? The biologically inspired computing discussed here is more inspired by crowd/swarm *behaviors* of animals than by human thought processes. It's a model and some algorithms to go along with it.
To be precise there were 48 Nobel laureates who singed that document mentioned in the article. You seem to imply that such people would put their signature on any document just so that the annoying organization bugging them to sign it would get out of their hair. I do believe this time it's different and they actually mean it. When will you start believing Bush needs to go? If only for the damage he's done to science and ecology.
Whoever submitted this story sounds like s/he is really rooting for backup tapes... perhaps even has tape vs. optical storage showdowns at home while watching "Myth Busters" on Discovery.
You can always use genomic data - there's plenty of it to go around for everyone. Following is a link to some downloads for mySQL: http://www.ensembl.org/Download/
Forget the LSR - not exactly a beginner camera. I researched extensively and finally decided on a Canon Powershot A80 and I couldn't be happier. Easy to point and shoot or go creative if you feel like it. The quality of the pictures is also amazing. Camera goes for around $300.
I dislike this patent as much as the next guy but this is NOT an example of prior art. It's just a theory that Mr. Bayes discovered some time ago. The patent itself is about applying that theory to the particular problem at hand - which is filtering spam. You need to find an example of using Bayesian theory for the same problem in order to consider it prior art.
Nielsen's Law of Internet bandwidth? Puh-lease... Anyone quoting themselves in anything but a scientific paper sounds rather pompous and pretentious.
Nielsen may be a fine usability expert but as a futurist and visionary he is lacking in the imagination department. I strongly recommend the Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson for an inspired read of what computing may be like many years from now.
Prions do not have cell walls. In fact, prions are not living organisms at all. Prions are mis-folded proteins that somehow manage to cause other proteins to misfold as well. This is what causes the brain-wasting effect in infected hosts.
but I would wait to see if this is actually a viable stable solution to the problem. The article mentions briefly that the real HIV and the manfucatured cure could mutate around each other and produce yet another deadly virus. This is only mentioned in passing in the article but IS a real possibility considering the fact that HIV has been known for its outrageous mutation rates. HIV contains POL which is a reverse-transcriptase and is responsible for translating the virus RNA. In the average HIV-infected person there are over 1 million (!) different mutant variants of POL.
What makes him think Microsoft wants to do business with Real? Didn't Real just go behind Microsoft's back to ask the EU to have their player pre-installed in PCs sold in Europe? Correct me if I am wrong but Microsoft would rather let Real squirm than do business with them.
Actually in zero-gee once you get the right inertia you can just go gliding with a simple bike on the inner side of a very very VERY large round wheel. Hence both the bike's wheel and the road are wheels so to speak. Cheers!
This is not entirely correct - there ARE, in fact, flowcharts in OOP. Besides the Rational model IS extensible so you can create your own diagram types. It depends on the vendor that supplied your modeling tool - some vendors don't offer the flowcharting diagrams. I am not saying that flowcharts should be used for modeling designs. But they are very useful when you are doing presentations in front of customers.
So now that we've found out how cheap their launch vehicles are and Boeing is trembling from fear of being made completely irrelevant all SpaceX need to do is have a successful launch. Minor detail.
It's not a question about who gets to index more webpages. It's a question of control of the flow of information. If you control the flow you can pretty much demand any price for your services.
Hmm so if I understand correctly the location of most stars visible with a 3'' telescope are known and so the chance of finding a new one is equivalent to spreading a bunch of candles on a football field and waiting for one of them to spontaniously combust?

This is the lamest statement from a corporate lapdog I heard in a while.

Are you going dumpster diving?
"Tech support, code monkeys, developers, systems analysts/architects, network admins, management that still does code reviews/coding"
I think your list is redundant so I've shortened it to:
monkeys

I love it how you readily accept that it is "safe" for the atmosphere. Next thing you know you'll be using it as a vodka chaser?!

Sorry to pop your balloon but "soyuz" has nothing to do with soy - it's Russian for "union".
