It's not old news. You heard the discussion about doing this a few weeks ago. Barr didn't file the suit until this morning. There was a lot of discussion in the Libertarian inner circles whether it was worth the effort, because it will almost certainly turn out to be wasted effort.
No, it's actually quite cheap, and easy (I teach an undergrad general bio lab where they do DNA comparisons, and believe me, if it cost anything, the school wouldn't pay for undergrads to do it). The DNA Who's-My-Daddy labs just charge a lot, because they can (or because they get government contracts). Just like cell phone providers and text messaging fees.
Tungsten, baby! Tough as hell to scratch or damage. And after the apocalypse, you can melt it down to make some replacement light bulb filaments! Now if only you can find some argon . . .
. ..the incumbent has voted in line with the Kansas Association of School Boards only 10% of the time in 2006, despite his claims of supporting "Quality Education". It's hard to imagine Sean doing worse.
Wait. . . the incumbent is usually voting against the Kansas School Board. . . the same school board that only wants Unintelligent Design taught to school children? Well, he's got my vote, now!
Chances are half the guys at the office, the taxi driver if you use one at any point, at least one of the clerks at the supermaket you visit, maybe even one of the doctors who've treated you, etc, are into porn.
Half? I'm not sure I can name a single male I know who isn't into porn. Even my 68-year-old father is, as well as my girlfriend, my roommate's g/f, and my friend's g/f (enough to weird him out, actually).
You are right, and generally, the Space Shuttle missions are launched using 2 solid-fuel rockets, composed primarily of ammonium perchlorate, so it is certainly a possibility; but one should consider that if the probe itself is contaminated, it should be detecting perchlorates in all of the samples. . .
High-pressure reactions are an almost completely unexplored aspect of chemistry; and the research that has been done shows that atoms and molecules behave much differently under high pressures. For example, a lot of research is being done now utilizing ultra-high pressure water as a replacement for organic solvents, for greener chemistry. If there's one thing we've learned from these high-pressure experiments, it's that everything acts different, so it really doesn't go against our "dogma" at all; it just goes against the "dogma" of STP reactions, which makes sense, as this was not an STP reaction. It's an incredibly cool finding; just not something that's going to turn all of our current chemical understanding upside down by violating "dogma."
Dan Nocera is one of the top ten names (American, anyway) in this field right now, and he has been working on this with several of the others (such as Jay Winkler and Harry Gray). I've sat through probably 10 of his seminars at American Chemical Society conferences in the last two years, and he was pretty close in April (and seemed really excited about a new development, too). My guess is that he's spent the intervening time repeating the experiments, to guarantee it works. And as to corroborating sources, I'm sure that his cohorts from CalTech, etc. are double-checking everything, too.
Anyway, I guess where I was going with this is that this isn't some fuel pill, or Al Gore rambling on about things he doesn't understand. Nocera is to water splitting what Miyamoto is to video games, and if he says that he's done it, I'm sure he's done it.
Satellite radio is awesome, whether anyone realizes it or not. There is NO CENSORSHIP WHAT-SO-EVER.
That's not entirely true. There is self-imposed censorship. We listen to Sirius in my lab, and I have heard one of the channels (the top 40 channel, I think), censor "fuck" out of the crap-rock songs (Nickelpark, or Linkinback, or whatever the hell is popular this week).
I was really quite annoyed when I heard that, because I was under the impression that there was no censorship, either.
What amuses me is that Obama voted for it, while McCain did not vote - whether this is because he abstained, or was not present, the roll call page does not make it immediately clear; however, Kennedy is also listed as "Did Not Vote," and as far as I know, he's still at home recuperating. If McCain did abstain, it definitely makes things interesting, because it's essentially a vote against it, while allowing him to avoid flak from the Republican party. . .

Lets just prove it is not cancergnous...
Cancergnous. . . is that some sort of rock I heard about sleeping through geology?
Wow. I actually want to belong to a religion, now!

I guess knee-jerk Bush bashing is more popular than I thought.
And where have you lived for the last seven years?
Am I really the only person for whom the first thought was "Sexbot?"
It's considered an upgrade because you are paying money for it. Doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not.
Shit, he's on to us.
You're right. We'd better go Reiser on his ass.

Sounds like an unreasonable estimate to me.
I would be much more interested in the percentage that has already stored such information just in case such an eventuality occurred.
Que?
Didn't Asteroids have prior art on this..? :)
That's what I thought when I read this sentence:
Puzzles from the original Gauntlet were memorable -- and more than likely, that wasn't the first game to use teleportation as a gameplay mechanic

For biodiesel one can use Rapeseed, for example...
You can use crappy hentai for biodiesel? I'm rich!
Since when is she into ornithology?
Where's the "Depressingly Funny" mod when we need it?

Good programmers!
And not five years ago, before all the SUV drivers burned up the peak oil that us poor people could be using right now. . .
Why be just suspected of meth production? Those PS3s ain't gonna buy themselves!
