I work in the organ transplantation business. typically, organ donations from cadaveric donors must come from heart-beating donors -- in other words, brain-dead. Once the heart stops beating, necropsy sets in. even hours of stagnation can be severely detrimental to the organ. once an organ is past about 24 hours of stagnant existence (less if its not on ice), its nearly worthless.
absolutely true. mod parent up. For the methane on mars, as far as we know, biological production is the BEST answer. It's not the only answer -- but right now, its actually the most likely.
I think that it's pretty much assumed that MIT isn't the first to think of this major. They're just a notable school in related fields and for them, a Respected Institution, to create the major not only lends credence to the field but also to schools (such as yours) who have already created the major. That's why it's news. If Podunk School of Mooing adds it, so what? Even if it's a great program, that's only minor news. But when MIT adds it, well it not only makes a splash in the industry but it also lends some credibility to the PSM program.
In other words, don't be offended that your school wasn't mentioned previously. Don't be offended that no one really cares (broadly speaking) that your school was "firster". Be glad that your school isn't insane for having the major, and now has academic respectability for the major.
The problem here is that when a user tries to install something, like a game, or maybe TurboTax, they have problems. If they can't figure out how to keep their computer clean, they're not going to understand why they need to be restricted on their own personal system. And they definitely won't be able to understand how to log in as admin, install, set permissions on use, log out and then log back in as the regular user.
It's just too inconvenient for the neurotypical user.

NO! irregardless is not a word!

There's a guy down at my local Home Depot that engineers keys just fine. Maybe MS will just hire him.
I already thought of that. Too bad I dont have the design and marketing skills necessary.
I couldnt even find the self-help section at my local bookstore, though I did see a sign telling me not to help myself to their merchandise.
It left me thoroughly confused. Can you recommend a book to me that will help me help myself?
And technically, isn't every section of Amazon.com self-help?
the moon is currently slowly moving away from earth.
Do you mean AWWEs?
wait, you're posting on /. and calling someone ELSE a nerd?
Hey pot? Yeah. This is kettle. Just letting you know, you're black.
What if we're descended from Mars gunk transported to earth?

type a little too fast, and one seemingly innocuous ' gets thrown in there, and bam -- grammar nazi food.
sigh indeed!
I was using 'tabs' in my file cabinet before that.

Didn't Netcraft already confirm it's demise?
The reasons for the fall of the roman empire are varied and complex.
the reasons for the fall of microsoft (if it is, indeed, impending) will be veried and complex.

There's some "real" info on howstuffworks.com -- take a look for it, they give you an equation.

Just let Europe research it and if it all works out, we'll adopt it.
Still looks to me that nuke has the most potential.
