So, other patients should die because these cells came from a fetus that was aborted, because we are against abortions? The fetus will be dead regardless, while you still have a choice with the patient.
First you have to show that the food is potentially dangerous before you use it against people who realize that organic food could only ever feed a small fraction of the world.
"that is why it will never be taken seriously with anyone outside the community."
And that is exactly how doomsayers make their money. Shout the most sweeping statements (in your blog, for example), and you'll get the most attention, the most hits, the most $$$. Ask Paul Ehlrich's taxman about that.
Actually, the German Wikipedia has an experimental "Bounty system", where people trade work/money/anything to get articles created or brought up to Featured Status. Say, for example "I'll create 20 physics-related articles if you'll bring a geometry-related article up to featured status", or something equally exciting....
They will evolve similar appearances and superficial mechanisms to adapt to their environments, but not the same DNA. That's why certain snakes take on the appearance of poisonous snakes while being harmless. Unless an animal's natural predator has a built-in DNA scanner, there would be no motivation to move toward similar DNA.
I never asserted that DNA structures differ greatly througout the universe. I'm talking about evolution--that's how it works. Species' DNA become more different with time, regardless of how their appearance changes. You really need to take a few courses in evolution.
" Seeing as how we do not behave exactly like every other animal, would there be a way that we could have come from Mars? "
It would be damn near impossible for humans and chimps to be so similar genetically. Species don't evolve toward eachother genetically.
"Mars currently has no global magnetic field of internal origin but must have had one in the past, when the crust acquired intense magnetization, presumably by cooling in the presence of an Earth-like magnetic field (thermoremanent magnetization). A new map of the magnetic field of Mars, compiled by using measurements acquired at an 400-km mapping altitude by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, is presented here. The increased spatial resolution and sensitivity of this map provide new insight into the origin and evolution of the Mars crust. Variations in the crustal magnetic field appear in association with major faults, some previously identified in imagery and topography (Cerberus Rupes and Valles Marineris). Two parallel great faults are identified in Terra Meridiani by offset magnetic field contours. They appear similar to transform faults that occur in oceanic crust on Earth, and support the notion that the Mars crust formed during an early era of plate tectonics."
That phrase you complain about is a phrase that is often used in math/logic problems, as other posters have pointed out to other people complaining about the wording of that phrase, "or twenty times, or any number you choose". That means "finite, but unbound".
This has the proper structure of the solutions I've seen, which only 1 other person's had that I noticed (although I probably missed some). Assuming you didn't make a mistake in the minimum requirements, it would be a valid solution.
Finally, a suggested answer that fits the structure of a real solution! (although I might have missed one) Let others look at it and see if they find is a problem.
Well, firstly I didn't write the problem. It seemed pretty clear to me that they must know k in order to have any chance of solving it, so I didn't think it was an issue. Of course, it seems people are choosing the lazy route by assuming there is no solution. That's fine, I don't care.
Slashdot Mirror
Did I say you could copy and paste my text without permission? That block of text wasn't GFDL. :)
"Finally, my parole hearing has come and I'm ready to see my family again!"
"No, actually, it says here that you're scheduled for execution. Any last requests?"

" To me it looks like a pair of breasts. A pair of breasts with pointy nipples."
So is the refresh button a titty twister?
The "Go back" and "Go forward" buttons have merged into an all powerful "stay here" button.
Maybe someday Slashdot will allow you to edit your posts. That gets rid of the infinity.
You forget that this is Slashdot, and nobody really cares about getting anywhere here. It's much more fun to troll/flamebait, as we both have found.
Actually, I was referring to the doomsayer's blog in TFA.

Exactly!

Am I the only one for whom "click on image to start animation" seems to mean nothing?
I only pointed out that the header doesn't agree with the text, I never even mentioned the article.
A 1.0.7 exploit that only affects everything below 1.0.7!

He's just one of the few that seem to understand the problem's intricate wording (I didn't write it)

You can't just stop calling in one of the prisoners. Eventually, that person must be called in again.

You've really misunderstood the problem. There's a difference between infinite and "finite but unbound".
