Well, the difference is that these are cancer stem cells. Cancer seeds, not cancer. From the article:
MIT scientists and colleagues have found a way to create in the lab large amounts of cancer stem cells, or cells that can initiate tumors.
If you could find a way to kill the seeds, then perhaps all the other techniques we are working on to kill the tumors will become irrelevant. Maybe the seeds are easier to kill than the tumors they sprout into. Prevention is the best medicine, after all.
It's not worth it. Slow, laggy performance and you have to wade through pages of premercials before you get to the crappy player. I've tried it a few times and it's such a lousy experience I don't bother anymore.
They should simply strike a deal with YouTube, take a percentage of ad revenue from pages with Comedy Central clips on them - and let the pros handle the video.
Right around 12-14% concentration, which is what wine is.
Basically, the yeast die out when their own waste product strangles them out of their environment. Sort of like if you put a person in a perfectly airtight plastic bag. They'd live a while until their own co2 strangled them.
Probably the same with these little gasoline critters. Soon as their waste product reaches a toxic level for them, they croak.

Seriously, these guys have a lively forum board up with a lot of users. I wouldn't call it 100% secure (what is?), but there is some semblance of peer review going on there. Nobody AFAIK has had any hackerish problems from using Autopatcher. All it is, is the MSI files pulled from Microsoft Update bundled together for the most part. Some registry tweaks and other good stuff, like the latest Java also bundled in.
I wouldn't recommend it for corporate use, for the exact same reason you brought up. But I think it's probably ok to load it onto your game machine at home and feel good about it.
Those are cool, and if size is important probably a pretty good thing. But I still don't think they fit the modern definition of PC. They're just not as expandable. Sort of reminds me of the Packard Bell PCs from a decade ago. Everything in it was so custom you couldn't upgrade it.
These would be good for office work though. Saves on desk space, and office-types hardly ever do upgrades.
They're x86 boards compatible with PCs. Big (ahem) difference.
Me, I'd imagine these would get the most use in industrial control. Medical equipment, highly interactive process control with lots of graphics. Stuff like that. Or maybe for a home-PC type application that you don't ever intend to upgrade. Like a MAME cabinet or a homebrew router or something like that.
They're useful, and it's great engineering...but yeah, not really a PC even though you could use them as one. Sort of like how if you really try, you can use a hammer to drive screws. Works, but not the best way to go.
Making a more efficient solar cell is an excellent step, but I'd be more interested in a more *cheap* one so they can be taken up on a mass scale.
More efficient cells would go a long way towards achieving that goal. From the summary:
On a roof, such cells would require less than half the surface area to produce the same amount of power as today's standard solar panels
Assuming that they are similar in price to construct, you'd pay about half to purchase these efficient cells versus the older ones they're being compared with. And half in mounting hardware. And the failure rate (again, assuming they are similar) is half as well.
More efficient cells are an excellent step towards affordability.
Don't mind the trolls. Soldier on and keep at it. The art of writing is something that is sadly becoming lost in this age.
One of the best books I've ever read is from my wife's collection. It's a collection of love letters from World War One. Probably some of the best writing I've ever seen. Very moving stuff, and it makes us "modern" folk look like absolute idiots when it comes to the basics, like expressing yourself.
Slashdot Mirror
Computerworld reports that as of September 17th, the database will be shut down.
You can trust me - I'm from the government. Would I lie to you?
On a more serious note, how in the world could anyone actually verify this?
He's a slashdotter. He cannot prove either.
This seems like a better option.

Here 'tis.
And now, if you're the right age you can have that theme music stuck in your head too! ;^)
I have found my new winter project. 25% alcohol mead. I can't wait. =)
If I had mod points I'd mod you up. Damn good ref. Now I'm gonna have the theme song stuck in my head the rest of the day. =)

I know, you've had a bad week. Here, have a cookie.
Oops! We must have been typing at the same time. Sorry 'bout that.

If the international community became concerned about global arse-wiping inconsistency it could ultimately become an ISO standard.
I'm imagining the worst ISO audit ever.
And yes, it runs Linux. =)

I believe that's called a traffic jam.

Hardware: Seagate to Drop IDE Drives by Year End
They don't work so well after dropping them. I, for one, will not buy one of these dropped drives at any price.
Peter Hirschberg. Take a look at his basement arcade!
How's that for ambiance?
Also, with 2 Gigs of RAM, most people would have absolutely no need for swap space.
Not so sure about that. The article did mention it came pre-installed with Vista, FYI. And the reviewer said he uses Photoshop on it.
1) Make article full of outrageous claims that will infuriate geeks
2) Put advertising on all ten pages, post link to Slashdot
3) Profit.
