the technology involved in fielding an F1 team. Unfortunately, the extreme level of technology most likely keeps other teams from competing, and those that can't compete on the top tier, in a budgetary sense, from winning.

that causes capacitors to leak and ruin ECUs/ECMs on Mitsubishi cars of the late 80s/early 90s. I always wanted a 1g DSM, but didn't want to deal with all of the electrical problems, including but not limited to, ECUs/ECMs dying due to bad capacitors?
Please, don't tell me this is still the same problem almost 15 years later.
Anyone that can get more out of existing resources, especially those that are extremely expensive to initially render useful, is a bona fide stud in my book.

Why can't we get a microbe to produce H2O2 as a metabolic byproduct. I have always felt that biological metabolism and bioremediation are two of the largest untapped resources on planet.

Soybeans were contaminated with genetically altered corn and shipped out. It is a SERIOUS problem on the part of QA and SHIPPING but no genetically modified soybean was found.
Typical FDA overreaction, the GA corn husks most likely coded for overexpression of lysozyme. I think you'll be amused when you determine the function of the enzyme.

As a biochemist/microbial physiologist this post TOTALLY BAFFLES me.
As another person who replied to this, I'd like to reiterate that the chemical composition of DNA is known. Composed of four different nucloside triphosphates (GATC) in an dynamically ordered structure.
If I follow your train of thought, than all of genomes that are sequenced are worthless to me and the scientific community because we aren't "the same company who made the CD".
Look here at the National Center for Biotechnology Infortaion's Genomic Database. I'd assume you would receive something similar to this from Venter's group.
Also one can FREELY browse the human genome and look for differences between your genome and those used to construct this draft of the genome.

No prob with "techno" misnomer. I must admit that my comment is somewhat hypocritical because I usually refer to R+B, rap, and hip-hop as "rap", although, I am attempting to edu-ma-cate myself with the help of my fiance.
I do apologize for the use of the term "electronica", I dislike it myself. The only reason I used it was to illustrate that "techno" was a subcategory of electronic music and not what, IMHO, should be used to refer to the majority of it.
Note that IANADJ (I am not a DJ) but I don't think everything from DI is Euro-cheese. I enjoy that "Hard Trance" selection and find that it's the only place that I can find streaming not-as-progressive as mainstream progressive trance. I really enjoyed some early Platipus albums and some older psy/astral trance but that stuff seems to be getting more and more difficult to find because of the emergence of the progressive. If you know of a streaming station that leans more toward dark/acid/hard trance PLEASE share the info.
I usually spend most of my time listening to recorded DJ sets. In my player right now is Astral Projection - Live at Brotherhood Beach Party 3.8.02, but I'd like to have some variety and a solid internet radio station would be very appreciated.
Human Mesh Dance's Hyaline was my favorite album for the longest time. It got some of my friends hooked on electronic music for a lifetime. We often talk of it and revisit it with a listen when the opportunity presents itself. We usually follow it directly with Aphex Twin: SAW II (2 CD set). Those bring back the collegiate memories.
Also, one of my FIRST emails of all time was to Taylor just as I was being to learn of the "internet" (1994-1995). The mailing list he put out was interesting as I could order CDs without speaking with anyone. It must have been one of the first e-commerce transactions.

TECHNO is not a genre, it's a subgenre within electronic music as a whole. Unfortunately, most people consider any electronic music "techno". The use of "techno" is usually accompanied with the famous line of "How can you listen to this TECHNO stuff."
The fact that you've "been into the whole techno" thing demonstrates the usual laypersons' ineptitude in describing electronica.
Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music should straighten you out a little. While I don't like Ishkur's attitude that he can classify music better than anyone else, it does serve as a goode exposure to what's available in the electronic genre. Also, the music samples are the BOMB.
Techno is one of the major classes of electronic music along with breakbeat, house, jungle, and drum and bass.
As far as ambient, or illbient for that matter, being considered the same as downtempo and lowrecase, that's crazy.
I'd have to disagree with you that a lot of Moby's early works are really "lowercase." Most of his works are ambient and house(rave):
Autechre, IMHO, should be considered Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and it's not very "lowercase". I thought my head was going to explode listening to it and processing all of the sounds.

Aren't certain members of Baculoviridae used as a pesticide?
IIRC, they're rather inert, because they require a pH of 10 for adhesion/replication, and sprayed on the ground and/or plants directly. The insect midgut is approximately pH 10 (imagine that, a virus adapting to its host) and thus becomes active only once ingested, remaining harmless otherwise.
I know this is a very simple explanation of the replication cycle, but it is provided as an example that NOT all virii require an immediate host to be effective.
I went to college with someone working at DEKA Research and Development performing research on thermal-cycle engines. While interviewing for a position, he learned that DeKa lives on his own island and commutes via helicopter to Manchester. Also, he has an arial image of his island with the text "The Only 100% Scientifically Literate Society" (or something similar, as he only caught a passing glance at the image) printed below.
DeKa has some very interesting patents... including something described by others as a robotic tampon.

According to the site, Yahoo plans to charge consumers between $1 and $4 to retrieve files from a specialized database of some 25 million research documents culled from 7,100 publications, including academic periodicals. Yahoo also expects to offer a "Premium Discount Search" option of 50 documents a month for $4.95.
Who is going to use this? If these "research documents" are truely from "academic publications" shouldn't the biggest audience these "documents" already have access to them through their respective academic institutions or research firms.
Even as a graduate student who reads at least a dozen reaserch articles per week I wouldn't consider using this service. It is much easier to use the FREE service provided by my academic institution.
