If this is legit material, than perhaps the movie industry should worry more about security than howling after the fact
The logic of this is that if I leave my front door open and somebody steals all my videos, it is my fault for being stupid enough to leave the door open.
The level of security breached is irrelavent, the fact that theft occurs is.
I do really hate having to point out that GATSOs (aka Speed Cameras) are not surveilance. If you are breaking the law by driving too fast then they will take a picture of you speeding and fine you, which is nothing less than you deserve.
You do not have a right to drive whatever speed you consider safe. Owning and driving a car entails certain responsibilities.
One death through speeding is one death too many.
Sorry it's offtopic but motorists really do fucking piss me off sometimes...
If we were creating a new species then prehaps I could get worked up about this.
But all he did was breed (not genetically engineer) two existing types of chicken to produce another breed without feathers.
This is no different to breeding dwarf wheat or pit-bulls.
This is of cause good news for G.W Bush, who is trying to, and will ultimately suceed in banning the use of stem cells from embryos. A slightly old European viewpoint of this can be found at the BBC .
Until we actually start teaching kids to THINK, to constantly question what they know, and to take nothing for granted,..
The point of education is not to get people to think but to accept . If people started thinking for themselves, and accepting what they told by the media, etc. , the whole world would be different....
No one is going to read all the e-mails by hand (eye?), but possibly they'll all be searched for key words, sush as assassination, jihad, revolution, etc.
So overload their systems by changing your pretenious sig for a list of key words.
All your e-mails, even the boring ones to your wife asking her top pick up stuff from the store, will be forwarded to the MIB, hopefully making the task of searching for revolutionaries harder.
The thoughts of a biologist

Bioinformatics

Two threads here;
Firstly, Bioinformatics will hopefully be grater than the sum of its parts. It is moving forward under the steam of computer scientists who have the knowledge, to be able to manipulate large amounts of data, the people who are asking the questions are biologists who have an implicit understanding of how natural processes, such as how evolution proceeds; how genes and proteins interact in organisms. So in my mind the perfect bioinformatisist would be a evolutionary molecular biologist who can also produce code.
Secondly, is the increasing importance computers are playing in driving what is possible in Biology. It may be a bit nostalgic but I remember running my first analyses (to produce a phylogenetic tree), I bought a beautiful Powerbook 165c, which at the time was incredibly fast, but it still took 6 weeks of constant run-time to churn through the data. I recently had to re-analyse this data, and it took 2 hrs. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The algorithms were based on branch and bound searches but increasingly popular (and more biologically realistic) are algorithms based on probability assessment. These algorithms, and those which compare sequences with each other, assess the likelihood of basepair changes/matches. They are computationally intensive, so the quicker the machine and the more efficient the code, the quicker the cycle between hypothesis and result.

Since when was reading the article a handicap to posting. I certainly haven't read what you wrote and I'm posting a reply to it.
But of course if a low-caffeinated coffee was bred from natural sources, and then contaminated the germplasm that would be OK?

You mention that Flash is $500, how many developer hours does that buy you?
.as there appears to be little Science being discussed.
