Thats a good question I hadn't even considered. IANA biologist; but I'm nearly certain that a transplanted limb would still retain the DNA of the donor. Over time, the DNA may be replaced as new cells replace the tissue; but I would think that it wouldn't ever be completely replaced. Hmmm interesting...
1. The quality that makes something laughable or amusing; funniness: could not see the humor of the situation.
2. That which is intended to induce laughter or amusement: a writer skilled at crafting humor.
3. The ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is amusing, comical, incongruous, or absurd. See Synonyms at wit1.
I've had conversations with some of my management already along the lines of "Which of our accounts could we send overseas with the least risk". In my instance, my team is overworked as it is, so its a welcome prospect.
We'll see if I feel the same way in a few months though... !
I got the same results. Lets all compare notes. I got the keycard, crowbar and computer chip. Restored power, then got in the pod. Power, then trottle, then died.
Has anybody found anything else, and has anybody been able to do anything with the garbage chute?
Geez... you're getting oodles of new features and can't cough up the modest price to support the company?
Slow down there champ. Who was saying they didn't want to pay for this? I was wondering if they'd be charging for it or if it would be a Software Update. If its free to owners of 10.2, then great. If not, then I may hold off till the next major release since I purchased Jaguar about 5 months ago.
I'm an outdoors geek too. I'm surprised that I haven't seen many other posts like yours, but on the other hand I'm not Very surprised.
I like to snowboard and recently have fallen in love with snow blades for their high manuverability and nearly non-existant learning curve (diamond trails on the first day).
Hiking / camping is another favorite that I don't get to do as often as I'd like, but will be heading out into the wilds again soon enough.
I'm off for some kayaking as soon as work finishes up for the day!!
It amazes me how many times this comes up on cellphone doscussions and how suprising it is to find how many people have no clue as to the basics of how a cellsite operates.
The general public doesn't study up on how cell towers work?!?! This is an outrage, somebody call James Earl Jones the verizon wireless guy!
Has it gotten easier? In some respects maybe. Has it gotten more effective? Very likely in that more people who go to school to learn something like programming have access to actual computers to work out their problems on and aren't forced to work purely in theory.
A couple years ago as an undergrad I was a lowsy programmer. I was on an all PC campus and had my powermac with me, so I couldn't do any of the programming assignments without heading over to one of the labs. Now, as a grad student we're programming in Java, and I can do my development on my latest Mac, so I can do coding into the wee hours on my own machine. That ability to experiment with the language on my own time has made learning new things much easier.
Slashdot caters to the tech sector. The tech sector is in a slump. Many scores of layoffs have taken place (and still are taking place) across the industry.
The original poster's assumption that many of the readers have seen the effects of this is dead-on. Especially considering the replies.
Great, now I'm going to have that phrase bouncing around my head till I have an aneurysm.
Back on topic, I wonder if volkswagon bugs are a standard unit of measurement that the general public simply isn't aware of. The measure would likely vary in terms of mass depending on the tank being full or not, and perhaps even depending on options purchased with the car. I suppose we'll just have to round to the nearest VW Bug Unit.
Whoah, whoah, lets not get our baretts in a twist there Jaques! We're just having some fun here, no need to beat somebody with a baguet.
Anyway, I'm pleased by the idea of other countries making an attempt to further explore the moon. This will more information for us all, and probably give the US some motivation to care about this sort of exploration again (If nothing else to keep up with the neighbors).
I'm not sure about compression, but there is an X10 joke in here somewhere...
Looking through the links I saw pleanty of images of the camera itself, but no actual images from the camera. Yes, yes, I know they're not going to put the +-1GB image on a site, but a largely scaled down and compressed sample for the gee-whiz factor would be nice.
I must agree. I feel dumber for having read the original question, so I can't help but think that we're not getting the full story. I must believe that the intended project isn't as stupid as it sounds. Fist_187, please for the sake of my hope in humanity explain to us what exactly you have in mind. Based on the description I really haven't a clue.

In soviet Russia; DNA doesn't match you?
Ahhh I dunno; in any case, do you have any more info on that case?

This is no surprise at all. What is surprising is that anybody at all is surpised by this in the first place.
Now; lets see Super Mario Brothers the Movie part 2, and then we'll talk...
Or something, I dunno....

Man I really used to love these games...
unless of course you want to buy some shiny new hardware. (you know you want to)
Well, my credit card has just about recovered from the last Mac purchase; maybe it IS time for a new one.....
*Sigh* Must resist....

No need to get any panties in a bind..
Having purchased 10.2.* I have to wonder what this will cost....
Will it be a downloadable update, or will I have to purchase an upgrade disc? If I have to buy it, how much will that cost???

Yes it did.

You could be updating a program for your company for which the source is lost.

They could have sold 1 million copies of one song. Unlikely, yes, but it explains why they might want to clarify.
I dunno
Aside from maybe getting wet, what other abuse are you concerned with?

I thought the problem with flying in sandstorms was that the flying sand can quickly grind down the spinning turbines and such parts?
"Swiss remain neutral - The Swiss president, Pascal Couchepin, has condemned the United..."
The Swiss find it newsworthy to report that they're neutral!?!?!

Why would you want a fly implanted in you? =P
