With new modern recycling methods we can remove almost all the re-useable stuff out of computers, so what 'US junk' is china preventing from entering the country.
I mean if they were trying to block old 486's from coming in, why don't they let them in and build a Beowulf parallel tasking computer that would rival that of NASA's supercomputers.
Or perhaps this is just china trying to say 'we don't need the USA. The USA needs us. We are in control' as china is shipping us tons and tons of computer parts, and etc that will be 'junk' within the year.
If you don't try, you will never gain the opportunity to fail.
If Lucas is a greedy as everyone makes him out to be, then it would make sense to release as many different versions onto DVD as possible. This would allow us geeks to get the version of start wars we want, while still appeasing the general public with the digitally modified and improved version. This might even result in lower prices if there are 3 DVD's of each movie put out (Original, Special edition, post Episode III modified version).
As much sense as this makes, perhaps this will just be a oversight to Georges greed, and he will just go on and release whatever he wants, completely ignoring everyone.
In my opinion the day that Lucas finally allows the people that understand star wars to work on the movie, will be a great day of celebration on slash dot, however that day might come when George dies

Well, caffeine molecules absorb free radicals... Then again, caffeine is a mutagen...
Caffeine absorbs free radicals, so there is less stuff that is likely to damage DNA (cancer is Damage to DNA, and the process that regulates cell division)
However without adenosine regulating sleep (and body regeneration), you could only wonder what more short term problems are more likely to happen then Cancer
As for mutations Caffeine is a "base analogue" of Adenine, and in fact can sometimes be incorporated into a growing DNA chain, instead of Adenine. Caffeine is a weak mutagen, for this reason. From http://fusionanomaly.net/caffeine.html
Caffeine can be used IN DNA yet another use, but digressing, the damage that could be caused by caffeine possibility replacing C/G/T in DNA with pseudo-A could be immense, but I am yet to here of a story that mentions Caffeine as the major cause of cancer, or another genetic-based disorder

The Plague of Frogs
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I would wonder if the frogs would set up rehab centers, or would they just take it cold turkey.
Seriously
Caffeine withdrawal in frogs could be quite a interesting phenomena,
The website
Neuroscience for Kids - Frogs and Caffeine mentions that a overdose of caffeine is lethal to frogs.
Boy Not only does caffeine stimulate the central nervous system, increase blood pressure, constrict veins and arteries, and suppress you bodies natural sleep chemical, but it kills frogs!!!
Next headline: Coffee and jolt cola found to help cure cancer
Could you also imagine getting hold of the powder they use, better drink mix the alcohol
This decision will hopefully create a legal presedent, that anyone, even from Large companies to single users, cannot abuse the internet and its services.
With this decision in hand hopefully the government can make some sort of new law that says that if you send out a large number of e-mails (spam), that your account is disabled immedatly, pending a full review. A law like this could reduce the internet bandwith signifigantly, and allow legitiment users to gain faster access to the services they desire.
Lets see what this does in the ongoing war against internet abusers
This story reminds me of article I read in Scientific American that says that Virus are being developed to be super-effecive anti-bacterial Agents that can target only a strain or two of bacteria.
It is only natural that we are using the simpilist form of life on earth to help us build technology, as viruses are (deadly) efficient. But when we start to inject viruses into humans, we need to modify them so they die soon and cannot reproduce.
None the less this could be a major development in world of Technology.
Ogg is a relativly new technology, and open source, so history should teach us that we still need to wait a few years before us 'geeks' convince the rest of the world (including the markiting directors at companies that make music players) that OGG is a viable and useful format.
Just because MP3 is popular doesnt mean that it is the standard for all time!
The pictures let scientists figure out stuff like the rate that the universe is expanding, the physics behind other solar systems and galaxies and it feeds the human intrest to explore into new places.
As when answer more questions about life and science on EARTH, we will look twards other space and the vast array of puzzles and problems that await us
On Windows systems there are many 'shredder' tools such as Norton Wipespace that go along and 0 fill all the unused space on a machine
And when you delete a file what happens is the files entry in the rootsector is removed, the rootsector has a list of all files on the drive (that the OS knows about) and where they are. It can also hold other information such as in FAT32 filesystems the official filesize is 8.3 (a clone of fat16) but using a 'comment' sector of the root and other 245 or so odd bytes are stored.
A way to get around the normal FBI or investagtor problems searching in your disks without getting in trouble (for not giving pword) is to get a laptop that has security hard drives. These drives will only work when connected to that computers BIOS. And you can do your work on the laptop, take the hard drive out, and hide the laptop until problems blow over
Its nice to see that every once and a while the millions and millions of dollars that the american government pours into the space project does provide us with great results
With the new advent of space-tourests speding $20 mil to get into space (with russia), the idea of science and research in space is getting put in the back seat. An example of this is when both of the tourists went into space i saw them on the news, but as of yet today i have not heard a peep about this (on the headlines).
Hopefully as more and more people look at space to answers more and more questions , it wont remain a area that is of lesser inportance to popular opinion

If monitors are every replaced with a slot in your cell-phone or funky geek ware glasses, what are we support to hit when something doesn't work.
Besides how many more deaths might this cause then cell-phones, driving down the road typing up a document in one eye and driving with the other.

Or perhaps after they stripped the last plane, they realized that the stuff they had stolen wouldn't work unless they learned English.

It's the part about him using common sense that concerns me, I'm not too sure he has that much left...
If other examples of George's uncommon sense serve to show a precedent, then we are all doomed

Hopefully with the discovery of this DNA code, we will be able to manipulate it and create new antibiotics

That could also work
but it would get expensive in HD-costs,
if security is that inportant to you no measure could be considered to be 'good enought'
