Yes, but only when the body is frozen immediately after the treatment. If you'd leave the body to rot you won;t find your nice RNA markers but just random degradation
As I'm a PhD in molecular genetics I sorta know about this
Apart from this being highly unethical there's these points 1) the GENES have nothing to do with it. They're measuring mRNA expression, which is not the same thing. Strangulation does not change your genes dammit. 2) It's a bit bloody obviuous not? Strangulation has known consequences, and we've known for ages that shortage of osygen has an effect on gene expression levels. So in the very specific case thay could have made the distinction. But just observing the body will give you more info in 5 min than the $1000 microarray will give you in two days.
'The terrorists' are the guys that have the finance to develop and use illegal-level encryption (it's not really the biggest crime they'll commit). Same goes for other big time criminals. They have more to lose with low encryption (which the police can read) than high encryption (which wiull just give them a $20 fine)
Only small-time criminals with no resources and normal citicens will be forced to downgrade their encryption, making it easy for big brother to read their email....
"average users" who will cry for binary drivers because compiling themselves is so hard.
See, you're not helping anyone by 1337 ing linux like that. Hell, in most cases compilations *do* go wrong and I'll have to fiddle with documentation and configs to get it to work. The thing is not that I cannpt do it, I just don't WANT to spend hours to get my modem running. I don't WANT to know how my video codec's API works. I don't even want to know what a compiler is. I just want to buy a new video card, jam in the install CD and get it running within 5 minutes. Sure, It'll take a reboot with windows, but that is still a lot quicker that reading through all the docs so you can compile your own drivers.
how do I find out which projects could use my skills? Would it be usefull for e.g. sourceforge to have somthing like an "employment agency" in which projects can advertise themself and put ads for wanted skills?
By increasing market sharing, hardware producers will start producing device drivers for new products, one of the thing linux is definately lagging behind apple or MS. I would also expect an increase in commercial software for linux (Macromedia software is the main reason FOR ME not to use linux on my desktop)
Sure. I'd like to contribute to linux by answering newbie questions (even though 90% of these can be found by a google search or the first 5 lines of the man page)
However what annoys me most is some GUI features of linux. I'd really like to help improving that. Now the problem is that I doen't speak C++, and I don't want to spend years learning it. I would be able to make a drawing about possible improvements, but I do have the feeling that peaople that are not 31337 just won't be taken seriously by true coders. So: Would there be a way for non-coders to make a contribution to GNU software?
email adresses, antivirus, bit of webpage. Guaranteed to work with your mac computer. No hassle or technical knowledge required. For just 100 bucks. If I had a Mac I'd sign up today
Yep looks great without anything in it however itt will look pretty crap with my beige floppy/zip/dvd/cdrw in it (although the top slot has a flip top by the looks of it)
A good example of this is that NASA still uses 8086 processors: You know exactly how they work. New things mean new problems. If you're having a system which does its job, why upgrade to a higher level kernel that can support hardware and protocols you don't need, but brings in bugs you don't want.
Yes I can manage to ge a front end hooked up to MySQL. But the thing is that with access, it is all in one convenient package. the linux way makes me install and secure MySQL, X at a good resolution (which took a lot of work with the configs) PAM or LDAP or some authentication etc etc etc. It's not my hobby to do things like that. I just make easy-to-use databases with build in UI. Access will give me that and no other single prog will. Hell, in the end I just give the.mde to someone and I know it'll work. in linux I have to come along and install all the bits and pieces. (recompime everything to get the switches ok)
bottomline: yes there are other ways to do what I can with access; but these are not as simple. Therefore they are not an option
There is no good equivalent of Access, and the scripting language of Excel -for me- is easier to use than OpenOffice version (even though that one is technologically superior or whatever). I've tried adabas but it just doesn't have it.
Keep your comments about Quark to yourself. If you don't like it don't talk about it. At the oment it is still the only good program for multicolor prepress work. Why don't you write something better if you have such an opinion about it?
The only reason why I'm using windows is because MS office is still superior and there is no substitute for Director, Dreamweaver or QuarkXPress on Linux. So if palladium does become reality I'll have to swap over to Mac.
But wait: doesn't M$ 0wn apple? (25% stock?) Does anyone know about DRM plans on mac?
"Much like glass, Liquidmetal softens when heated -- the earliest alloy at about 750 degrees Fahrenheit. By comparison, steel becomes malleable at about 2,100 degrees.
Cost also limits Liquidmetal. The raw materials run at $10 to $15 a pound, about as much as titanium, while aluminum costs about 50 cents a pound.
The heat-resistance property might make it not such a good replacement for titanium in space industry.
Although the photos section mentiones that the wheels are not quite necesassry, they are indeed:
The motion of the counterweight falling tries to pull the treb over. A counter to this is to put the trebuchet on wheels. So, as the counterweight falls, the treb rolls forward, allowing the counterweigtht to fall more vertically. This also dramatically increases the distance the treb can make.
When a post concerns something that is only applicable to the US it should: a) be filed under 'US' b) at least *mention* the topic concerns only the US.
Now mod me down as anti-american flamebait or whatever. I've got karma to burn for this.
Now that there aren't so many posts yet... Could we try, at least this time, to have a discussion about the post / story for a change, instead of yet another Jonkatz bashing fest? If you don't like Jon, ignore the storie and change your settings accordingly. Not that I'm a great fan of JK, but I'm getting sick and tired of hearing the same old anti-Jon BS every time he's posting something
Right. Try having a public speech in support of forming a Nazi party and see how free you are to speak.
Isn't it typically american to prove their freedom of speech by the ability to propagate tasteless Nazi crap.
The fact that the US allows Nazi propaganda but disallowing anything remotely associated with communism or Islam is one of the reasons I want to stay as far away from your country as possible.
If this is offtopic than so is the parent post. Anyone modding only one of these posts is as racist as mentioned in this thread
I just hate it to see those 'home-videos' that just last forever because the owner hasn't got the equipment (or time) to make a nice edit.
Now that we'll be having DVD recorders it is quite easy to jam your home video from the camera onto the DVD
and use software like this to cut out the boring pieces. Not as good as the professional solution but you would also
not need 2 VCRs, editing equipment and 4 weeks holiday
However ther is a significant difference: at the WTC the the 6000 deaths were actually intended (murder), whereas traffic kills are mostly accidents, i.e. no intention to kill. Still: I don't see much difference between terrorism and civil war, and in that light you should also consider the amount of innocent peoply dying in, for instance, Sudan (3 MILLION).
If you want to have a war against terrorism, you should also be bombing Ireland (IRA), Spain (ETA) and a load of African countries.

because nobody ever reads the articles anyway:

IN the same line of thinking:
-could, for instance, parsing the kernel through his routine create a 'kernel-hacking' keyboard?
i.e. specialist keyboards to do a specific job?
(and I would have CTRL-ALT-DEL right in the middle of my MS-Win-biased keyboard: now that would speed up things =)
I've said it before and I'll say it again:

This will definitely get modded down but...
If you start a discussion that is solely meant for americans, the thing should be filed under america, instead of hardware or anything else.
