Separated for so long before trade and slavery began to redistribute people, humans too became where they would not mate with populations of a different color.
Maybe my humor detector is broken. You seem so serious, yet that statement is so ridiculous.
There sure was too much breathless fawning in that article. These men are extremely sharp. Let there be no doubt. While I cannot rule it impossible, I have never heard of someone who needs such air filters. I have heard of hypochondriacs. It's praise praise praise. It might be perfect for a New Yorker reader who does not know much, but wants to feel edified.
I remember how top colleges viewed financial need back in my day, extremely unrealistically. Compared to many families, they had very different ideas of how much burden and debt a student and the student's family should assume.
I rembered the story about the boy shot through the heart with a nail gun. His doctors tried injecting bone marrow cells. Maybe it helped; maybe it did not. See old stories from CBS, Heart Center Online and CNN.
This story discusses the controversy surrounding heart stem cells and whether bone marrow cells can differentiate into heart muscle. AFAIK (not far), you are right about identifying a true stem cell for heart muscle.
Both the normal protein, called PrP^C for prion (related) protein cellular, and diseased form, called PrP^Sc for scrapie, are the same stereoisomer as far as we know. They are different conformations, different foldings of the same protein. Stereoisomerism and chemical conformation are not the same. Read more about prion.
Yes, heart cancer is extremely rare. Heart cells are post mitotic; they do not divide. Considering that cancer is the result of too much cell division, the rarity of heart cancer makes sense.
The flip side is how little the heart can repair itself. Recovery from heart attacks is consequently poor. Heart tissue dies, and it stays dead. The undamaged heart muscle can compensate somewhat. The dead tissue may weaken and even rupture. Using stem cells to regrow heart tissue may work someday. A few clinical reports have been promising.
Lung cancer would be rare, although not as rare as heart cancer, if not for cigarette smoking.
Bloglines tilts my axis. RSS readers are cool, but I read from multiple computers. A single tracker is excellent. It also provides pretty good links to related feeds and has a few nice sorting features, such as sorting feeds by the number of unread entries.
The JennyCam slashbox was iffy. I added it. Then I deleted it to avoid over the shoulder embarrassment.
Now it seems backward that I largely read/. through RSS and mostly visit the real site only for a longer article or a potentially interesting discussion.
Thank you for your reply. Is it easy to get to the memory slots? I imagine so. I'm just checking. Do you know whether there are any warranty problems? Apple seems like a fair company in honoring their warranties unless I actually cause the problem with my upgrade attempt.
The new PBs have 5400 rpm drives. My current Intel based laptop has a 5400 rpm drive, and it's passable.
I agree that the changes are underwhelming. I think I am ready to switch for two reasons. First, I doubt the line will see any big changes for a few months. I'm unlikely to get caught just before the great new product appears. Second, the prices dropped a little.
Are there any problems with choosing build to order (BTO) options in terms of quality or warranty? I am considering buying a 15" PowerBook. 512 MB is too little memory. Should I get 1 GB through BTO? Should I buy a 512 MB stick elsewhere and install myself?
The video memory upgrade looks tempting, too. Is the difference noticeable?
The upgrade to a 100 GB hard drive seems way overpriced.
Finally, are there any adapters or accessories that are so useful that I might as well buy them with the laptop?
I got some more information, so I'm following up my own post.
El Gato's software will allow multiple EyeTV or compatible products to be connected simultanously. Live viewing should work, but scheduled recording will not work reliably because the scheduling program will just use the first available unit. There are plans to implement scheduled recording using multiple units, and the latest software allows experimental use.

Libraries are for holding knowledge.
Computers are for figuring.

Once a year leaves only 364 days for the usual nonsense.
Are you trying to tell me that my wishlist is a joke?
Actually, you would have to have an iPod and a Treo, too.
Errors are extremely common. The only reason why we survive is our body's repair mechanism.
It is not the only reason. Many errors have no big consequences. Other errors cause a cell to die, and a few dead cells are unlikely to matter.

They need a dead person's organs for a religious ritual?
"Doesn't seem very fair to me."
Who is cheated in that case?

A news googling reveals pending bills that would create a ban in Missouri. Other states might try similar measures.

I remember when registration started. I thought, "Why would I register to read /.?" I put it off for a while. Then came worthwhile preferences.
at least by 1984 standards.
You do mean the book, right?
A Beowulf cluster of these things would be awesome.
This RAID array is just meh.
No, War Games is about abused apes.
No, wait. Project X is about the mistreated monkeys.
War Games is about this teenager who is really good with computers and almost accidentally starts World War III.
Your memory is way off.

It sounds a little bit like a computer fan crossed with some keyboard clicking on a bit of a crashter tip.
