>Unfortunately for a great number of people (including me) who don't live in America, the page states 'The beta version is only available to Yahoo! Mail users in the U.S.'
It's available if you are an Oddpost account holder. I signed up for Oddpost a couple of months before they were bought out and received my invite for the Yahoo beta a couple of days ago.
It's not like they had industrial strength santizing dish washers 5000 years ago - over ten years of use, one could imagine an accumulation of residue inside such a container
More than possible considering that a number of cultures use the same vessel for fermentation once it has "learned how to make beer". We know now about S. cerevisiae but in the past there have been all sorts of explanations of the brewing process.
The Hymn to Ninkasi http://www-etcsl.orient.ox.ac.uk/section4/tr4231.h tm (probably the earliest recorded beer recipe) mentions the use of wine and honey in the recipe. So, I'm not sure what's new in TFA due to the lack of useful references. Anyone have more info on this story?
It's not the humour article that's a problem, more the lack of any tech/nerd content whatsoever. Humour is a good sub-category to have, for stories such as the Russian astrologer threatening to sue NASA or anything like the cutesy stuff at the end of the TV news. This is equivalent to showing a "KYTV" skit in the middle of the Nine O'Clock News. Not unfunny in itself, just inappropriate.
C'mon, a link to an Onion article? Slow news day or new crack dealer?
It's not that TFA isn't funny, just that it's inappropriate. If I want a humour site, I'll read Fark or B3ta. Or The Onion. Or anyone of a hundred others. This is not news. It's not even worthy of the "And Finally..." section of news.
Props to all the guys telling folks how to uncheck Zonk. Enough's enough. If only I had mod points today.
Part of me is tired of this whole "search for life on Mars" saga. What type of life are they talking about? An Amoeba? Oh boy, goodie goodie...Yay!
Hey, don't knock it. If it wasn't for the humble Thermus Aquaticus and other extremophiles, we wouldn't have half the knowledge of DNA that we do and PCR-based techniques would be impossible. We won't know the uses for Martian bacteria, let alone something as large as whole cells are until we know what mechanisms they employ to survive.
Of course, trying to explain this to your average Monster-Truck Joe is difficult. "Hey look! There's green bug-eyed monsters, but they're real small and squishy!" may be one way...
That first link is complete quackery. There is NO TREATMENT for Type I diabetes except insulin, PERIOD. I'm a diabetic, I know this.
There's plenty of treatments for Type I diabetes, providing you don't mind ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia, impotence, blindness and all the other fun side-effects.
Mind you, anyone that takes health advice from/. deserves everything that happens to them.
Seriously, this could be quite useful. It is just using the urine as an electrolyte, but a cheap disposable home all-in-one urine chemistry test would piss all over the competition.

Oh really? When was the last time Plato got published in a peer-reviewed journal?
From JSTOR -
"Plato on Population and the State" - Plato
Population and Development Review Vol. 12, No. 4 (Dec., 1986), pp. 781-798
He gets a number of more recent co-author credits, too.
Cheer up. You got a +5 Funny. Your shattered life has made other /.ers laugh, insensitive clods that we are.
MARIAA. That does make a nice acronym.
But how do you solve a problem like MARIAA?
Grazias!

Are Sony going to absorb the cost of the drive to keep the hardware price low or will they pass it on to us?
If they do keep the price low, how much will they be losing on each unit?

I think it's more likely they will fire many missles instead of 1, from different directions at the same time. Have fun shooting them down.

I wish I had mod points. This is far more news-worthy than some of the slashvertising that gets approved.
