You're already covered in SA, the MR part just means if it gets into parts of you it shouldn't you have extra issues. It isn't particularly worse in terms of pathogenicity versus vanilla Staph apart from that our treatments don't work.
These aren't anything that weird, just bacteria and archaea. Encased in the crystals, their spores were preserved from the exterior environment. Underground, minimal radiation to poke holes in their DNA while they were dormant. You're still probably looking at multiple log reductions in viability.
The reporting relationship is why it is more concerning than if it was a peer. Authority changes things. A cop could ask you on a date, and it'd be fine, but if they pulled you over first...
That's why research like this into life that derives its energy chemically is interesting for exobiology. You take the factors you mention out of the equation.
How much material does one need to perform a carbon dating test? Given they will have at least some motility, the matrix their in isn't necessarily the same age as they are, and you can culture bacteria from amounts far smaller than necessary to perform some chemical tests. Perhaps there isn't enough until after you've grown them up, at which point the carbon test won't tell you anything.
He doesn't think he has the authority to do it. On the other hand, they could release guidelines and give them a fancy name (ie EnergyStar) with a list of criteria to qualify for slapping that on your advertising. Then there is market incentive to slap FCC certified SafePhone! or whatever on the box with the FM radio enabled.
I'd read about these ideas a while back it and from what I read making the embryo would be far easier than implanting it, there were some issues with elephant wombs and narrow implantation window, as I recall. Reminds me of a Stephen Baxter book where some aliens recreated historically extinct Earth fauna by messing around with the genomes of their descendants, amongst other things.
Well besides that when they see the encrypted portion where the work connection software resides they're going to try to claim he's required to open that, too, at best they'll have a record of what software you're using. Even the best software is going to be more vulnerable if it is easy for the attackers to know what they're up against. At worst, once open, they put in some NSA software that will phone home once they log into the secure vault on the phone. You have to treat it as compromised even if they didn't get into the authenticated VPN client.
The average TSA guy isn't going to comprehend anything that is export controlled, anyhow, even if it was in the clear, but that doesn't mean letting him in to poke around is a good idea.
They could remote wipe the phone, but he probably wasn't allowed to call it in... if they copy the encrypted partition before giving the phone back then the bad guys have however long they need to try to crack it.
You're not allowed to show classified information to people--even with sufficient clearance!-- if they don't have a 'need to know' the information. Border Patrol most certainly does not have 'need to know' anything scientific that is a matter of national security.
If the work phone can get into the company network, and it is compromised, then the company network is compromised... of course he doesn't have that crap on his phone, but the TSA can make you open your laptop too.
You've a far better respect for the patent office than I if you think they wouldn't issue slightly different patents for more or less identical procedures, especially with computer related activities...
IANAL, but if you claim that you're operating under licensed patent from MS, and the troll claims that you're violating their patent, don't they have to go fight MS now? If nothing else, letters from MS lawyers would probably send them scurrying for easier pickings.
Ha! 'Earthquake' probably is too small a term for what would happen if we compressed geological history into that timeframe. I expect Marvin the Martian would be impressed.
All sports are like that to an extent. I think football's success is due to its frequent pauses between plays allowing for extra advertisements (which in turn fund the whole thing) and a mix of strategy and athleticism that translates well to TV. Basketball, for example, can go quite a while without a pause in the action, which is great in some respects, but makes it somewhat less social to watch because you will miss more if you turn away to converse with your friends. Baseball is a sport I enjoy watching in person but can't get into on TV. I think the reason its heyday was in the radio dominant media landscape is because it is easy to describe what is happening. Football is ok described on the radio, but basketball is too visual in my opinion. My opinions will be a little outside the norm, I don't actually enjoy pro-sports much... for some reason that the athletes are so beyond the pale of normal humans in skill makes it less interesting for me than college or minor league.
As a person interested in historical woodworking, I can say that you can do lots of division and geometry without using numbers. It is actually a bit easier not to use numbers, since you add some imprecision doing measuring versus doing ratios and divisions of the parts.

Only for peers, parent post is correct.

Mmm... lactobacillus....

If you're sufficiently fancy in your application you could avoid editing your germ line DNA...
Good way to keep the TSA out of your email and Facebook I guess.
So... you didn't finish reading his post?
It is actually a bigger deal to lie about doing things than to have done questionable things as far as security clearances go

That isn't remotely true, you don't even get a fun badge or anything with security credentials

The ruling politicians sent their political opponents out to investigate the issue, but they never returned for some reason...

Wouldn't surprise me to see it go that way... if there's an encrypted container of some kind that the movie goes into then it may not be blank at all.
