Throwing out data in order to be able to analyze other data, especially when it comes to genes and how they interact, sounds like one of the worst ideas I've heard.
This is already the case in our company; salaried employees are marked as "Exempt"... which means, exempt from getting paid overtime. How is this a government legislative issue??
Where I live, there have always been plate readers.
We call them 'Sir'.
They register plates that seem suspicious to them and store them in little black notebooks that they keep 'til retirement, half a century sometimes. They work only 8 hours a day and want wages, uniforms, typing machines, unions, sick time, vacations, retirement money and other stuff the new ones don't need.
The new ones are much cheaper for us taxpayers.
They also know every fucking stolen car's plate by heart and can't be bribed by a doughnut.
When we want to be anonymous, we walk or use a bike and not a car which have had license plates to identify them since the last 100 years.
I guess that this new stuff is definitely eroding the right to drive a car in public that is registered as stolen, used in a robbery, kidnapping or murder.
Your observations are spot-on in a world where 1984 is only a fictitious book by George Orwell. Otherwise... not so much.
Reinventing their cell walls is an evolutionary step that would also imply other things (i.e. would the bacterium be able to survive with the new cell wall structure; would it be less susceptible to alcohol but more susceptible to something else; would it be able to replicate the new structure, etc). I'm no bacteriologist but aren't bacteria in endospore-mode not susceptible to alcohol?
If they did that it might lead one to believe that they aren't capable of competing based on quality of product -- that or they have no faith in their own ability to continue to innovate.
The problem is that the legislative body becomes deadlocked on just about anything they debate and thus "free market" decides. Unfortunately, Free Market is essentially Mob Rule. And the mob are idiots. Legislative body isn't much better.
To some degree this is correct; however when you let Cheap and Plentiful run rampant you get what you have now -- everything made to last for about a year, landfills full of cellphones and similar that will be intact a thousand years from now, etc. Our planet simply can't sustain that kind of mentality.
It seems as if you're not taking into account the subsidization by the Chinese government that takes place so that Chinese products almost always undercut domestic-made products in price, driving domestic companies out of business. It's one thing to "compete" on product quality; it's another to simply flood the market with subsidized waste.
6: And the big one; fewer and fewer people will have traditional jobs, letting the robots/computers do the admin / manual work for them. Instead, we'll be exploring, learning, creating, having fun, or socializing (eventually mankind will realize that higher unemployment is a good thing, and not a bad).
The problem with this is that it's exactly what they said would happen back in the 50's... we'd have all this leisure time and it would become a problem since no one had anything to do. I don't know about you, but I have less time for anything now than ever before.
Does this also encrypt the traffic for the link you click from the search results? If no, then Verizon still has the site you're eventually destined for and the search itself is moot.
So perhaps it should be renamed to "dark force" (or something not so ridiculous-sounding) so as to not make it sound as if it describes an actual physical thing (i.e. "matter" which has mass and occupies space.) While this seems to express some of the qualities of matter (gravitation) we haven't actually seen or recreated it as in antimatter.
"Transforming brands that transcend competition is the core value that drives Landor. It is what we've done for over 60 years. Our clients come to us for many reasons. Their single commonality is their desire to change perception..."
As soon as that happens on a wide scale, THEN we can talk about a surveillance society.
So basically, tracking people from their houses to where ever they go and back again isn't a surveillance society, just as long as we don't know when they're using the toilet, is that it?
Libertarians are Statists who want smaller government or more local government. Anarcho-capitalists are either Voluntaryists who believe in
-Ist's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ist, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.
You're completely missing the fact that this means that SP3 will come out a year after Vista ships. This means that, in effect, enterprise systems will have to decide if they want to remain with unpatched XP systems or upgrade to Vista.
This is obvious planning by MS to not cannibalize their Vista sales by giving an "incentive" to "upgrade" to Vista.

Apparently their increased popularity has not gone unnoticed by malware writers.

Wouldn't it be spectacular if we as a people would get the fsck out of our own way?

Next you'll tell me that FidoNet is going away!

Hox genes are defined as having
- a DNA sequence known as the homeobox
My surprise at the fact that "homeobox" has not yet been appropriated to name some useless piece of merchandise knows no bounds.

Shouldn't we absolutely, unequivocally prove that dark matter exists before positing the existence of a particle that explains it?

I thought Al Gore planned the Interplanetary Internet...
This patent application was filed at the end of 2005... why is it just now coming up?
Indeed. From http://www2.landor.com/?do=cCapabilities.home :
"Transforming brands that transcend competition is the core value that drives Landor. It is what we've done for over 60 years. Our clients come to us for many reasons. Their single commonality is their desire to change perception..."
I think I experienced this back in the 80's.

Only on streets. Not in peoples' houses.
