Jurasic park >>was simply an extrapolation of current technology.
do you have any idea what the half life of dna is. It was no more an extrapolation of current technology than the enterprise being an extrapolation of the space shuttle.
That's rather irrelevant. It's what everyone else buys. And they will buy stuff from the better marketed company. All using my code on a router I bought and yet I can't even fuck with it, because the open company went bankrupt. Unless I used gpl v3.
umm, and GNU cat is no longer actively maintained, while GNU yes is still basically the same app it was from version 1.0. At some point after you have written something you can finish. Other than bugfixes make couldn't really be improved without making it into something else.
>> Or, even more useful: just use C like everyone else does!
or even more usefull, convince everyone around you to use C. Yeah that'll work. Except Celcius isn't particularly good, let's all convert to kelvin. Well now we don't have round numbers anymore, screw it.
Dark matter was created out of a need to explain empirical evidence because the motion of the galaxy did not fit our model of gravity. Same thing really.
>> Can't the researchers just knock off this single gene in mice and get the basic idea of what this protien is all about?
The researcher looking and analyzing this data, might not be the type of researcher that works with mice. Even if he was, he would probably get this paper our once this discovery was made. Another one after knocking the gene off.
This is two datapoints. The evidence for correlation is not strong.
Two datapoints are not statistically significant, for correlation. Yeah, they found a gene that is alot more common in humans than monkeys. There are probably other such genes appearing by chance. They just happened to find one. They can use it as the basis for more study. Though there aren't many conclusions that can yet be drawn.
yeah those artists are entitled. Oh wait. I mean record executives, they get all the money. Despite being a convicted price manipulating cartel. Yeah, go team. Gotta love those executives.
Iran is the country with the worlds second biggest oil reserves. Only saudi arabia has more oil. You don't need nuclear power when you are dripping in oil.
you got that wrong. b offers far less bandwidth than a. However b offers more range. g offers similar bandwidth to a at greater range and is compatible with b.
I'll third that and say that much to my surprise the difference in quality was very dicernable on my builtin laptop speakers. These speakers sound like shit no matter what. Yet the 160kbps sounds quite a bit less shitty.
actually heavier elements get made. It's just that it uses energy to make them. So no more light and stuff gets created and the star doesn't have anything pushing out. It just has a runaway collapse and an implosion.

That's rather irrelevant. It's what everyone else buys. And they will buy stuff from the better marketed company. All using my code on a router I bought and yet I can't even fuck with it, because the open company went bankrupt. Unless I used gpl v3.
>> GNU Make only had two maintainers.
umm, and GNU cat is no longer actively maintained, while GNU yes is still basically the same app it was from version 1.0.
At some point after you have written something you can finish. Other than bugfixes make couldn't really be improved without making it into something else.
>> For example the IOKit c++ based driver model in OS X is far superior.
:d
yeah if overhead and speed are unimportant in your kernel.
MySQL was never stolen, the same people that wrote it also released a commercial version.
>> Can anyone name a notable OSS project released under the BSD licence that was subsequently 'stolen' for a commercial product?
The unixes from back in the day.
>> PostgreSQL, released under the BSD licence has suffered no commercial exploitation.
How could you even know that. Someone could have easily used it in a commercial application. MySQL just has a bigger market share.
yeah, the rest of the world has moved on.
>>Why do you consider Component the best?
The price/perfomance ratio can't be beat. HDMI/DVI cables tend to be expensive. RCA cables in comparison are quite cheap even good ones.

oh you mean like round-up one of the most environmentally friendly weed killers there is
>> they're a few generations away from being able to compete as ONLINE gaming platforms
aside from that it's easier to stop cheaters. That's one area consoles are light years ahead of computers.
>> The problem with those free reports is the first thing they want is your social security number.
yeah, that's pretty much your serial number, it's how they look you up and store you in the first place.

>>Every single one of them is impartially investigated
and there you go. Who would want an investigation? The fact that they are all investigated is reason enough to avoid any potential situation.
yeah, good job on adding a reduntant article.
Options--> dig around a bit --> ask me to send a receipt.
I like to know who the lamers sending the receipts are.
Sometimes I also like to pretend I never got the message.
yeah, I looked at that funny too. It makes sense though if he meant 128MB.
>> You're not entitled to anything.
yeah those artists are entitled. Oh wait. I mean record executives, they get all the money. Despite being a convicted price manipulating cartel. Yeah, go team. Gotta love those executives.

They could always quit and find another job.

they are both the same element. Just a slightly differenet amount of electrons. You really are nitpicking over a joke. Fluoride is still Flourine.
