That is not correct. They are running the worlds largest tracker, not just hosting the torrent files. The tracker is organizing every single download from the page. If they would turn the tracker off, the dowloading would stop.
Whatever they say, running this kind of massive distribution of copyrighted content is NOT legal in Sweden. The only reason they have been allowed to run it this long, is because the guys that is supposed to stop them is incompetent idiots that don't understand the technology.
But now, with this massive attention it's been getting, it is only a matter of time before the site is down, probably in less than two months. And the guys running it will not get away unpunished. I would bet on a year in prison for each of them. I think they have been very naive about how the law works in Sweden.
Dr. Pritchard's list of selected genes also includes five that affect skin color. The selected versions of the genes occur solely in Europeans and are presumably responsible for pale skin. Anthropologists have generally assumed that the first modern humans to arrive in Europe some 45,000 years ago had the dark skin of their African origins, but soon acquired the paler skin needed to admit sunlight for vitamin D synthesis.
The finding of five skin genes selected 6,600 years ago could imply that Europeans acquired their pale skin much more recently. Or, the selected genes may have been a reinforcement of a process established earlier, Dr. Pritchard said.
The five genes show no sign of selective pressure in East Asians.
Because Chinese and Japanese are also pale, Dr. Pritchard said, evolution must have accomplished the same goal in those populations by working through different genes or by changing the same genes but many thousands of years before, so that the signal of selection is no longer visible to the new test.
This implies even stronger that theese genes were selected for vitamin D reasons. About 6600 years ago agriculture started and people started eating more rice and wheat food and less meat. Therefore they got vitamin D deficiency, and had to produce more vitamins in their skin.
Absolutely nothing! Here's how you do it:
1. Buy a ticket to Eyam.
2. Find a girlfriend.
3. "Perform the insertion operation"
4. Welcome your new AIDS/Black death-resistant offsping overlords.
Thats stupid, everybody knows that Pluto is named after a Disney character, not a god. This new planet is Plutos bigger mate, naturally its name will be Mickey Mouse.
'Why in the world would you think your (cell) phone would work in your house?'
Why would anyone get a cellphone if they wouldn't work indoors? Unless you're a lumberjack or something you spend 95% of your time indoors. Areas with no indoor coverage is areas with no coverage.
Tha small screen makes the reading quite a bit slower than usual. On the other hand it's very handy to have a good book with you anytime you get bored. And there is a lot of free books availible for download on the p2p networks.
The reason the prosecutors want a prison sentence is this: According to Swedish secrecy law, the ISPs can only be ordered to reveal the identities behind IP numbers if the crime is worth a prison sentence. This case will serve as a precedent. If this guy is spared from prison (very likely), ISPs will no longer reveal file sharers identity.
This is just a signed applet. Signed applets have been used for at least 7 years. There is absolutely nothing new about this. Running a signed applet is equivalent to downloading and running a.exe file. If you call this a security exploit then so is.exe files.
Sexual reproduction is best explained by "selfish genes".
It is obvious that sexual reproduction increases the rate of beneficial mutations, thereby helping the species to adapt faster to a changing environment. Good adaption leads to further reproduction and so on. On the other hand, the mutations is slowly changing the entire organism, effectivly deleting the original genepool.
This might be seen as a contradiction; if the genepool of all species with sexual reproduction eventually are deleted, there should be no such species left.
By taking focus of the species and on to the individual genes, we see that there is no contradiction. Clearly, the only genes which benefits from sexual reproduction in the long run, are the sex genes themselves. And that is all that is needed, that they can copy themselves to new generations.
The avida program will have trouble explaining sex because 1) the "genome" is to small and 2) the genome is not divided into genes.
Chickens and birds in general have less junk-DNA than mammals. The reason for this, is to save some weight and make the flying easier. A little bit of DNA in billions of cells, actually adds up to some percent of the total body-weight.
