Its not only that they post so many dupes, they also ignore decent stories.
As recent story is that some science museums with Imax theaters are rejecting any films that mention evolution or the big bang because some people screening the films have called them "blasphemous."
Science museums. Worrying about being blasphemous.
And slashsot rejects that story. Probably to save room for more dupes.
Pointless. Having your DNA at a crime scene only helps if then already know who you are and you are a suspect... they use it to confirm you are the bad guy. If they have no clue who you are, they can't use your DNA to find you.
However if you use your DNA bomb, then they can narrow down the list of suspects to people with access to DNA - blood band workers, etc.
If you weren't a suspect already, now they can possible find you because you've given them a clue where to look. And if you already were a suspect, then your blood bomb is going to finger you almost as much as the DNA would.
I bought four 220 disc holders last month that seem pretty good, from supermediastore.com (I am in no way affiliated with them.)
They have a carrying strap and they zip closed.
Well, I have seen one digitally projected "film" (can we even call them that anymore?) and I will never see one again. It was HORRIBLE. There I was in a friggin movie theater and I could see individual pixels even more clearly than I do when watching some crappy divx-encoded file at home.
I wonder... if the DRM is applied to the file AFTER you have downloaded it, and you simply bypass the process that adds the DRM but after you have legally purchased and downloaded the DRM-free file, would this really violate the DMCA?
After all, you aren't defeating copy protection, you're simply not adding it to a clean file that you've already legally downloaded.
Seriously, I have an ATI AIW 7500, and I have officially given up on it. I've had it for a couple years, put it in a new machine I built this summer, and can't get the TV function to work unless I do a totall uninstall and reinstall of the drivers and catalyst software every time I want to use it.
And isn't it odd how the poster tossed out the general term stell cell research...instead of clarifying adult or embryonic... ...Keep your side politically motivated comments to yourself people. Post the fucking commentary and article...stick to it or don't bother.
What the FUCKING FUCK are you going on about?
He said stem cell research, as that another possible medical technology that could be used for treatment. That is related.
He did NOT say "Stem cell research that evil Bush wants to ban." Furthermore, he did not say any of the following:
"Spinal Stem Cell Research, the good kind..." or "Embryonic Stem Cell Research, the evil kind that kills babies..." or "Embryonic... the kind Bush would ban..." or "Spinal... the kind that is still allowed..." or "Embryonic... who needs babies anyway..." or any fucking other thing.
To use anything more than a general term would be a politicization, because it would have NOTHING to do with the issue at hand, would NOT be in any way a clarification, but instead would serve only to introduce some opinion or bias.
Precisely.
For example, Fox News routinely headlines its news shows with retractions of and corrections to stories where they have been inaccurate or just plain wrong.
here's the line that struck me most out of the entire article:
Q: Let's move to politics for a moment. As a lifelong Democrat, your appointment to the MPAA was criticized by several Republicans who said they felt a member of their party should have gotten the nod, since Republicans were in control of Congress. And there have been some reports that Congress withheld its support on some recent MPAA-supported bills in response.
Benito Mussolini, inventor of Fascism, once said that it could more properly be called Corporatism, since it is the merging of government and corporations.
Read the above quote again, folks. We live in The United Coporations of America - a fascist country.
I downloaded the installer, and it wouldn't install, it gave me the message "Windows Media Player 10 must be installed..." etc. Well, as you may know, WMP 10 includes no improvements at all, but mainly exists because it has strengthened digital right management tools. It actuallys lets you do less than WMP 9.
... its good to see that genetic engineering will be used carefully, and to solve the major problems hurting the world and humanity, rather than just being thrown willy-nilly at whatever fad or amusement will bring in quick bucks.
Excellent point. Most people are unaware that NASA mission have had a direct impact on our understanding of Earth. The theory of global warming came about in part because of our Mariner and Pioneer missions to Venus. We had to figure out how to explain what happened there, and from that we started to realize what could happen HERE.
Which is why it always drives me nuts when people cry "We should fix things here on earth before wasting money on space exploration."
If it turns out that global warming is true, and we have had enough of a heads-up to try to stop at least some of the negative effects from it, then those missions have been some of the best investments humans will have ever made.
so what's the difference between $3,000 and $100,000? In my case, absolutely nothing. They can sue me for 50 million for all I care, and they'll get the same thing from me - jack shit.
The girl was not arrested.
We were just sitting on the church steps.
The cops (two, actually) pulled up onto the sidewalk and grass in the car... I looked up and saw him leaning out but didn't catch what he had said, so I asked "do you want us to leave?" He laughed and said they wanted ID, etc.
The reason for this was that I was an 18 year old, looked like a punk, essentially, and the cops in that area routinely did such things to exert their "control."
I was at an antiwar protest a few months ago. One of the people near me was being hassled by a cop, so he asked the cop for his badge number.
The cop said "You want my badge number? HERE'S my badge number!" and he flipped the guy the bird. I had my video camera with me, and I laughed and said to the cop "whoa! Do that again, let me get it on tape!"
The cop grabbed me by the collar and yanked me toward him and growled at me "you want to get arrested, asshole?"
You live in a fantasy world, my friend. There are reasons citizens have protections against abuse of power - because people with power often abuse it.

According to my logs, almost NOBODY that accesses my website uses IE.

Let me guess - you're a fan of Lexmark printers too.
tried that, and about every variation I could think of. No go.

peerguardian blocks that site.

Get a fucking grip.
A more pertinent question might be - who should be in charge of our national science policies - scientists, or clergy?
Precisely.
For example, Fox News routinely headlines its news shows with retractions of and corrections to stories where they have been inaccurate or just plain wrong.
You still have a trs-80 in the attic, along with a vectrex and every cart, 3-d goggles, etc.

Comparative planetology is very valuable.

We just lost one of those protections.
