Researchers are likely to try to introduce the genetic mutations into mice as part of their work, but they said many other genetic changes would likely be necessary to produce a talking animal, and several said they doubted anything of the sort would ever be possible, let alone desirable.
I know less that 1000 people, and I know a couple of very good programmers.
So what I know less than 1000 and I know at least a dozen, because I work in IT. My father knows about a thousand and He knows none (I would not consider myself a good programmer). One can not use who he knows/what he knows as an extrapolation of the world at large.
The bigger question about which is worse is 'what are the looking for?' In China they are open about the fact that if you have a religous belief which is not state approved they will bust your A$$.
In the USA They dont tell you outirght they are looking at your stuff but I can write the think Bush is a moron, the brach dividias were right, and USA stinks and not fear recrimination.
We can march on our capital for any reason 'million man, & mom' today, Vietnam and Civil rights 30 years ago. We do this without fear of ebing run over by tanks.
Is the USA perfect heck no, but you make youself look like a moron when you say you would rather live in china because while the boot crush your head at least they warn you.
Those Kids(China/India), when we went to the moon do you know what we would have given for a 386, hell a TI graphing calculator was a dream. You and your 'were going to the moon', We went uphill both ways..
Im no legal expert, But I dont think that matters much. The fact is if I made a web site N3WBZilla With a little dragon, I would be gaining market penetration through the Godzilla(tm)(c)(r)(ltd)(wtf) name recognition. I think it sucks because one has nothing to do with the other but you are using thier trademark property to push your own..
While I never thought that Mozilla and Godzilla had anything to do with each other I would probable still be using Netscape or Opera if not for the fact I said to myself 'hey clever name' and checked it out.
Come on, lets be serious davezilla and mozilla were inspired by Godzilla (little dragon guy). While I think that the trademark owners are being totally stupid about this its their right.
Its not just the Zilla or the God they are going after its the theme. If Dave really wanted to use the spider or plant meanings of the word why the hell did he put a little dragon at the top by the name (same goes for mozilla).
Lets not be so totally anti-corporate we end up being so blind that when someone does really infringe on a trade mark we say ok.
I have no problem with M$ using a gui which was to designed to feel alot like a Mac (I believe it was MacOS7 in 95), Because to me the look and feel of a desktop os is like the color of a car. It something really unimportant, you may want a black rice rocket, I want a black mustang..
My problem with the post was the slamming of an X interface tweeked to look like M$ as being proof that windows is somehow superior to Linux, its the color of the car. For a someone to say "hey you guys are copying us so much we must rule", where *US* is an OS the themselves have copied not only the look and feel but the underlying code (tcp/ip stack) of others work is moronic on its face.
so before you try to attack me as being a foaming at the mouth anti-windows person use a neuron or two and think about what I wrote.
Whats funny is that X got more and more useful with the expansion of the Internet, the fact its built for use over networks makes it an awesome tool.
Example, I can sit on my PC at home and with nothing but VPN connection and a base Linux/X installation and have everything available to me that I do at work. Beyond that I can have a 486/32mb Ram/1gb HD do it. If I really need to access the windows side of our network I can use rdesktop to interface with a win2k terminal server.
On a windows box I would need either VNC (kind of nice for the price, but very limited in it use) or Hummingbird ($expensive$ and memory hog). Or I could use the terminal server client to access the windows side (which of course I have to pay for).
Is X perfect? no, I have had more trouble learning it than anything else on the Unix side (I am a n3wb) but I am sure some really smart guys somewhere built a gui for that.
I would say faster and cleaner not easier. Keep in mind that most of us know to use a/boot when using disk druid (im a newb), Most ppl dont know that.
I can hand my mother a copy of windows and a PC and she could probably install it, she cant do RH7.3. Linux is getting there but its not for the average user yet.
Remember that at most company the techs dont make the decisions.. I work in an itdev shop and we had a PM come up to us and demend we screap of linux/apache web server and replace it with IIS because he like some of the widgets...
1) That was only if your hak caused death.
2) The Police have to *DIRECTLY* answer to a body elected by citizens, the RIAA does not.
3) Wire tapping is different than actively hacking my PC, one is active and the other is passive. Not that I think either is ok but for the love of God stop comparing apples and oranges
Well for starters, this is a very touchy issue. In all honesty we all know P2P is used PRIMARILY for piracy. I think the MPAA is well within their rights to try and remove movies from peoples hard drives.
No they have no right to remove a movie from my hard drive, maybe I bought it and put it their, I may very well use a PC as the brains of a home entertainment system. The darn police cant come into my house (or my computer) without a warrent, but you think record/movie execs have that right?
The comparision of a pirated dishtv is off the point, they are not coming on to your propertity checking out the config of you dish and arresting/taking $ from you if you are suspected of doing something illegal.
My computer is property same as my house, and car. If cops cant get it without a warrent than they have no right period!
I am a linux newb, been using it heavy for maybe six months. Right now I have two PC's my win2k box that I use when I want to play games/VPN into work and my RH7.3 Box that I am tuning to use.
I was going to keep doing this until I could get civ3, snnnrubspace, and VPN to work right on linux, but I cant wait any longer. All I need is to have a windows box open on a cable modem, its bad enough there are PFY that try daily to get on my box, now I gotta worry about money grubbing corps trying to see wht I am running?
At least with linux I know that it would take enough effort that they may actually want to have a real reason first.

Other then the fact X had some trouble picking up the video card they have been awesome for about 6 mos now.

Your opinion does not look very objecteve to me so before you slam my home put your own house in order.
I have a bunch of poweredge that were running windows. Had no trouble getting the raid controller to work when I moved over to Linux.
Ma & Pa will buy with windows if it cost the same, if they were saving a couple of hundred dollars and had a geek kid/friend they might go OSless
Those Kids(China/India), when we went to the moon do you know what we would have given for a 386, hell a TI graphing calculator was a dream. You and your 'were going to the moon', We went uphill both ways..

Baseless, what I have seen of OSX (aqua is the interface I believe) reminds me nothing of windows.
Example, I can sit on my PC at home and with nothing but VPN connection and a base Linux/X installation and have everything available to me that I do at work. Beyond that I can have a 486/32mb Ram/1gb HD do it. If I really need to access the windows side of our network I can use rdesktop to interface with a win2k terminal server.

Is X perfect? no, I have had more trouble learning it than anything else on the Unix side (I am a n3wb) but I am sure some really smart guys somewhere built a gui for that.
A question to you, how the hell can any M$ person complain about taking the look and feel of another OS, they ripped so much off of apple its sick.
I can hand my mother a copy of windows and a PC and she could probably install it, she cant do RH7.3. Linux is getting there but its not for the average user yet.
Remember that at most company the techs dont make the decisions.. I work in an itdev shop and we had a PM come up to us and demend we screap of linux/apache web server and replace it with IIS because he like some of the widgets...
