Discovery Channel
on
A Flu Pandemic?
·
· Score: 5, Informative
The Discovery Channel will be having a special on about this at 10:00pm EST, it was on last night and I believe it was nearly a 60% fatality rate. In Holland they had to slaughter nearly 30 million birds (mostly chickens) because the disease spread there. The most cases and deaths have been reported in Vietnam, 41 deaths out of the total of 62.
You might want to watch this special, it even talks about how they found out the 1918 flu was originally a complete avian strain, much like how this new one is.
This is basically a new surrogate mother approach. Nothing more. The article still mentions the need for sperm.
"The result would be an embryo with pronuclei DNA from the parental egg and sperm but mitochondria - and mitochondrial DNA - from the donor egg."
Blah, I submitted a much more verbose version of this to YRO last night. News Corp. owns FOX. They bought Intermix Media Inc.which owns MySpace.com
Quote from Yahoo!:
"The thing about MySpace is that it's a growing audience," said Jupiter Research analyst David Card. "Its users are pretty loyal. They get a lot of time spent on their pages. And the personal information they get from users is pretty reliable because they want to meet people. One would think this information would be pretty useful to advertisers."
Yeah, good enough reason for me to remove my blogs and other information.
When I first looked into college, I wanted to do the whole computer science thing... but then I opened my eyes and saw something, VIRTUALLY NO DEMAND FOR IT! And the demand that existed wasn't very rewarding...
So, I looked at other options and ended up picking a business major. I figured this would be a more useful degree in landing a job. I'd be more likely to land a managerial position than some grunt job this way.
Any computer science skills (including web design and other misc. things of course) I have I've learned on my own time. It's mostly a fun hobby for me and I'd like to keep it that way. It's more rewarding and productive as a hobby skill.
Just my little rant... I'm off to my accounting course.:P
If I remember my business law course correctly... Unless that employee signed a contract or some other form of agreement saying that he can not work for a competitor, then Seagate has no official legal leg to stand on. And there is a chance the employee never signed one considering he worked with Seagate for 17 years.
You can't really blame Seagate for wanting to protect their trade secrets though. I'm just wondering how much notice this employee gave Seagate before leaving like that. It is rather suspicuous for someone to just switch companies like that... There could be a lot of money behind this!:O
