No, I don't think jargon is right either, since that would generally tend to indicate technical language used correctly. I think 'reporting' might get at the jist of what we have here: A buzzword being used incorrectly to create more sensationalism (unnecessarily, I might add).
What a great technology this looks to be. However, I would hesitate to call it 'nanotechnology', since it does not appear in any way to be 'molecular manufacturing'. Indeed, while the article didn't specify the means of production, making peptides sounds like chemistry to me.
ISPs' rhetoric is increasingly strident about content from outside providers raising the costs of their networks," said Jupiter Research analyst Joe Laszlo. "But I haven't seen hard data that suggests the volume of legitimate video is coming close to swamping ISP networks yet.
I think I understand. ISPs (whatever THAT means) are annoyed that they will have to... how do I put this... Provide Internet Service? Shocking.
Same here. My VIC-20 led me to true geekdom, all because I entered a few BASIC programs by rote and then tried to figure out how the hell that bouncing ball showed up on my screen.
This is not T. Rex, though. Merely the earliest known ancestor which can be considered 'Tyrannosauridae'.
T. Rex itself, a favorite of schoolchildren everywhere, is notable for being:
1) Found in the USA 2) REALLY big, although it seems there may have been larger meat-eaters after all (see Giganotosaurus). 3) Rather short of reach. This early ancestor had much more 'normal' length arms. 4) Recent. T. Rex was around at the end of the age of the dinosaurs. This guy was around nearly a hundred million years earlier.
I am not a paleontologist, but I have a five year old.:-)
I cannot say for certain, but given the current perilous status of the NTP patents, it may just turn out to be unnecessary. It seems the Patent Office is overturning these things, but operating even more slowly than the courts.
Flags? Who the hell cares about a piece of cloth, anyway. Just makes more business for flagmakers.
Here's what burns me: We've got radicals who have done awful, awful things, things which should be decried from every mosque on the planet. Flying planes into buildings, killing olympic athletes, sawing off people's heads, blowing up children, shooting children in the back...
And none of this raises any serious objections, concerns, or protest in the Islamic world. Sure, we see the occasional newspaper column decrying the violence, but it simply does not seem to be important to the man on the street that his religion is abused this way.
Publish a cartoon now, and we get vast outpourings of outrage.
There's something *so* very wrong with this picture, I don't know where to begin.
Disgrace and shame is better than folks like this deserve, but it's the best we can realistically hope to see. The appointment of political officers to oversee scientific speech smacks of the bad old days of the Cold War, and I mean the BAD guys.
Unfortunately, this is only one small win for the side of truth, justice, and the American way. We've still got a *long* way to go before honesty and integrity are restored to the government.
[Deutsch's email] continued: "This is more than a science issue, it is a religious issue. And I would hate to think that young people would only be getting one-half of this debate from NASA. That would mean we had failed to properly educate the very people who rely on us for factual information the most."
Or is that the worst part? It's certainly the scariest.
It's best not to defrost your food at room temperature. Indeed, that's inviting pathogens to grow on the surface while you're waiting for the center to thaw. A couple or four hours is no big deal, but you don't want a piece of salmon sitting on the counter all day.
Better is to put your food (in plastic!) in a bowl of cold water. Better still is to remember the day before (or three days before for a turkey) and put the item into the refrigerator to thaw. Then take it out about half an hour or 45 minutes before cooking time to begin bringing it up to room temperature.
There's no need to be paranoid, but there's no reason to be reckless.

And thus we see the problem with using Wikipedia as a source.
Publicity? Claim they're using embryonic stem cells.
Funding? Claim they're eliminating the need to use embryonic stem cells.
Both? Claim it's due to the power of prayer, and everyone should send in five dollars.

Will they get more than an '80% POSIX complaint' OS out of this effort?
And does anyone who uses a real UNIX actually care?
Onions, bell pepper, celery.
BAM!
Not entirely:
THIS will have a battery life of about 2 hours, maybe 3 on the outside.
Working for the Bush administration, are we?
'Cause with all the BS they're spewing, I think we've solved the world's energy problems.
From the article:

So... It's running Windows? Hey, stop hitting me!
Seriously though, this statement made my day: "A non-running computer produces fewer errors," says Hosten.
How do I convince my boss that I can work this way, too?

Right. It's not a lot. In fact, it's positively miniscule.
If you can think of a better way for NASA to get the technology it wants for damn near free, let them know.
I think he should be on lauch-pad sweeping duty.
;-)
During launches.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!

You left out the very best part!

It works if you fill up with E225
It's modded funny, but I believe we need a 'Tragic' modifier to cope with this reality.

Words have gender, people have sex, and slashdotters have monkey-pr0n. :-)
It's rather like President Lisa Simpson's "temporary refund adjustment."
