Programmed cell death is a natural cellular process (as natural as cellular respiration, for that matter)
It is vital to development of many tissues, such as nervous tissue in the spinal cord or the brain. Death of a human is not massive PCD.
Programmed cell death / apoptosis is caused by intercellular communication.
Apoptosis can be stimulated in a cell through a variety of ways, for example in an antigen-presenting immunoreactive T-Cell which binds through a Fas / FasLigand compliment, the t cell will undergo apoptosis and kill itself so that it cant kill the other cell.
So in reality, no, it has nothing to do with human death, just regular cell death.
After working for several years at an Immunology lab at Harvard, It's very nice to see people finally get credit for discovering apoptosis. I use it in the lab as a core immunosuppressive therapy, only in mice and monkeys as of yet -- and by harnessing the power of apoptosis (PCD) we have so far created a treatment which acts like a powerful immunosuppressant to transplanted allografcts, without all the harmful side effects. . While it may sound pretty violent or harmful, Apoptosis is not only a natural process, but it has also opened up new gateways into research in many different fields.
Slashdotting in itself is funny, but slashdotting a lisa 2? three users at a time could probably "slashdot" a lisa 2.... I'd be surprised if the traffic didn't set the thing ablaze!
so you would rather have people die of hunger / no healthcare / etc. so you can have better free software? Im not suggesting we give everyone in need direct cash, but im implying things like food kitchens/etc that are vital for the survival of people.
To me, this whole thing seems a bit shallow. sure i am writing to an OSDN site, coded on open-source slashcode, running on an open source webserver, but i think that the people behind the code are not who really needs the money. They are all educated enough to write copious amounts of software, and through this they could get jobs for money probably very easily (most of them probably do during the day anyways). But there are SO MANY PEOPLE who dont have the ability to get jobs, and who need the money to eat rather than get a fatter pipe or faster compiler. i just think that giving money to people who are in need of so much more is more important than free software.
either that, or contact the ISPs that control the various routers en route to the SPAM servers, and have them block certain IPs Packets from being forwarded.
IPv6 is going to take forever to implement! The whole net infrastructure is IPv4, and to upgrade software, NICs, Routers, Firmware-of-net-devices and the like will cost fortunes and be a lengthy switch.
sure I'd love to see the day when we all can have 100s of IPs, but i dont think it will happen soon.
a split could become a serious threat to the internet as it expands. With ISPs choosing higher capacity lines in order to keep their customers happy, the companies with the fattest pipes will get all the connections. If the routers that control the traffic on these high bandwidth lines get overloaded or hacked, there is a potential for the internet to split apart.
I am quite certain that NORAD could track those planes, however, the government lacks any method of stopping (steering/taking control of) planes remotely. in the case of the WTC, its not a radar problem, its the lack of nationwide airspace security
well i do it every year, and most everyone has probably seen it, but this is a scientific article (dont worry, it's hilarious-- from the online "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy) into the existence of a santa claus.

It doesn;t seem like a scan, just appears to be a reseller. Read the fine print. From thwate.com, "© Secure Hosting Limited, providing secure server hosting and reselling Thawte SSL certificates to our clients. This site is not owned by Thawte."
... Which is why all of Microsoft's mice work out-of-the-box, without drivers, under Mac OS X.
I doubt OpenGL will die because it is used at a very low level in mac os x. Apple will die before opengl does, and that won't be for a long while.
and just what do you think the odds are of Apple implementing any sort of hardware copy prevention?
very slim I say.... Maybe all this copy protection jazz is just what Apple needs to boost it's market share?
psst... i think he means APIs nonetheless, it still makes no sense
my .sig is as right as it's going to be, and nobody is going to change that.... no, not even you
as long as it's better than any of RealNetworks Codecs, how bad could it possibly be?

Do they give any explanation? I was looking forward to new games from Loki!
*sigh* back to TuxRacer i go....

its NORAD... what can't they track?

even though i can now see the site, no images load. with the quality of this site, i'd say its hosted off of a rice cracker running dos.

with such a price/performance ratio, what are the limitations that would affect the ability to hook up many PS2s to form a cluster?
I already cant wait for TuxRacer to be ported to PS2... the ice will be... so... real...
