Is there a big difference between this fuel and biodiesel? Regular diesel engines (which most large motor vehicles such as tractors, trucks etc. which I assume is the kind of vehicle you mean here) can run biodiesel with *no* modifications.
IANAFE (I am not a fuel expert) but I believe the line between airline fuel and diesel fuel is pretty thin...
I dunno, as someone who lived through and managed to stay employed in IT in the early 2000s after the dot bomb, it's nice to be back in a position where job offers are coming to look for me rather than the other way around. I still remember how incredibly easy I got my position in 1999 when things were insane and then how hard it was to get the next job after that place folded in 2001...
Maybe there are worse things than being called by recruiters? (not saying they're not annoying, of course)
Interestingly enough, there's a ton of genetic work and application being done in the agricultural community (and I don't just mean RoundUp Ready Maize). The breeders are completely tuned in on things like biomarkers and what that means for their work.
Strictly speaking then, we don't count the following bands as being punk:
The Ramones
The Clash
Sex Pistols
The Stooges
All released on major labels (therefore RIAA)....lots and lots more, but I'm lazy. The whole "sell out" label that holier than thou types throw around with abandon really annoys the piss out of me.
I've been telling my young kids the story like any other fairy tale ("A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away"). They're totally into it. However, my plan for them is to watch IV, V, VI and then try to shield their young minds from the hideousness of the prequels.
Seriously.

if mapping your genomes is something you as an individual want
Of course, if you have multiple genomes to map, I for one would like to talk to you as that would probably make for an interesting paper. (an individual has one and only one genome).
What's surprising at this point isn't that Big Oil sponsors misleading propaganda to sway public opinion and protect their interests, it's that so many people continue to ignore the facts and accuse those of us who talk about these kinds of tactics as Tin Foil Hat Wearing Lefty Scare Mongerers (or insert your favorite slur here).
It's not just this issue, it's a whole host of issues including the 2000 & 2004 elections, the (non) connection of Iraq to Al-Qaeda and others. When will we all wake up?

First off, anyone who includes FanBoi as part of their username automatically forfeits their rights to bash anyone else for being a "fanataic".
Second - the posts above are not blindly busting your post down as you accuse, but pointing out that in your original post you incorrectly state that Windows has functionality similar to TimeMachine and has had it for some time. If that's not true, state your case. But don't cry like you've been unjustly slandered.
...but I really can't take any book seriously titled "Building Scalable Web Sites" that explains itself using PHP and mySQL. I know PHP/mySQL have their place but I just don't think of them as industrial strength.
No doubt there will be multiple posts following to tell me how wrong I am, but that's how I see it.
It's relevant because the nerds who pay attention to this site are interested in the topic. Look, there are already almost 200 comments talking about it.
And how is simply putting the story on the site transparent bias? Because only lefties would be interested in reading a story about government monitoring? Please.
And on a wider topic, can I just tell you how freaking sick I am of reading jaded comments on every story about this or that is not worth of being posted to Slashdot? If you all don't like the stories posted IGNORE THE STORY AND DON'T READ IT or even START YOUR OWN DAMN SITE AND POST WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT.
Oh no! You mean this article was written by someone who (gasp!) has a degree in a subject area that focuses on reading and writing. The horror! We obviously can't trust a word then.
The researchprobablywas doing a search on Monster.com and seeing how many "jobs" cames up (we all know how that works) and then this personprobablytalked to their friend who's heard how much(complete guess) her.NET developer friend is making.
Wow. What an amazing pile of steaming "probablys" and conjecture you got there. Do you have a single actual fact to cite anywhere here, or do you just feel the need to randomly try to discredit an article because it says that the dreaded Microsoft technology remains the most widespread skill set needed in the IT world?
These writers don't know anything.
As opposed to you who clearly are a sage oracle to be paid attention to.
Maybe a bit off topic, but I can't find the answer on Macrobe's site(s) - anyone know what the forecast is for when Flash/Flex etc. will be available as Universal binaries for Mac OSX?
Depends on what "real world" you're trying to apply the examples to, I guess. In my real world, where I do data visualization in Java (and want to further myself), and where there is a quickly accelerating Semantic Web project just down the hall that relies heavily on RDF etc., this book strikes me as something worth checking out.
You bet your ass. It's a great thing about being a developer that (usually) it doesn't matter what I look like. Sure, when dealing with clients face to face it's important, but otherwise it doesn't matter.
I guess the real question is why do IT workers get that freedom when others don't? There's certainly lots of other positions in the world where appearance matters as little. Is it because we've successfully trained the world to diminish their clothing expectations of geeks?
I don't believe that politics has that much to do with the Utah choice. Rather, because so much of the state's population is descended from the original Mormon colonists, and family history's have been well maintained, there is a wealth of genealogical knowledge that can be used along with the genetic data to make connections between disease and genotype.
An even more interesting set of data is the data from Iceland, where the entire population's genealogy is known and recorded and the country has a nationwide health care system. This has allowed extensive studies using the current population's data along with their history (privacy concerns heavily addressed, really!).
Wrong wrong wrong. If it becomes easier/lower cost to create and distribute games, variety will increase are more niche markets are able to be filled. Game makers no longer have to bet on the biggest market out there - indie makers can find a small audience for their game and make enough to get by. All this means *more* different kinds of games, not less.
Now: s/games/[books|music|any content you want]/ and think over the benefits of indie producers again.
Umm, except that you realize that the selection of movies available on the premium channels and pay per view is extremely limited, don't you? As in, there are many many many many more movies out in the world that somebody might want to watch other than the latest Hollywood movie that just exited the theatres.
You might want to check out some of these movies. Many of them are quite good. Try "Citizen Kane" and get back to me on how everything you might want to watch is available on cable now.
I don't think you thought too hard before posting that.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. Never has there been a president more intent on making sweeping changes and pushing an agenda that upon final analysis is fairly marginal (and more truly radical than most realize).
Supreme court appointments are no joke - these appointments will likely have more long reaching consequences than any other actions taken by this president.
But they're storing MUCH more than just raw NT sequence -- they're storing all the annotation data around the sequence (which includes what genes are where, what papers have been written about those genes etc.) as well as a massive amount of data generated from experiments aiming at figuring out exactly what everything does and how it can be affected.
It adds up quickly. The nucleotide sequence is just the starting point.

Couldn't those machines run on biofuel as well?

Looks like they may have some interest in "web as application platform" after all:

Read the novel. The character she plays spends time interned in a detention/concentration camp.

You mean the making a movie part was done...we're still waiting on the good part (hee hee).
