You don't need intact cells, but rather fairly intact nuclei. Nucleus is a more robust structure than the cell membrane, and I would't be surprised if we could find relatively intact nuclei in the tissue, depending on the amount of time that passed between the animal's death and the freezing of the body.
Any major website, such as Google, Amazon, Ebay, etc... should have this information at hand... I would say that the percentage of google users that use linux is a good indication of the percentage of computer users that use Linux.
Maybe it's just me... maybe it's because I was born in the USSR... but I simply assume that all my communications are monitored by the government 24/7. I am lucky in that my ISP is a university, and a rather liberal one. Other than that, I assume that all of my plaintext/voice communications are compromised to begin with. If I want privacy, I will either meet in person, or use encrypted IM (via 2048-bit DSS in Gaim) or an encrypted email (thanks OpenPGP).
ATI and Creative drivers suck for windows too. Except for windows there is nothing you can do about how much they suck. After replacing about $400 worth of components I finally realized it was a stupid Audigy card that was making my PC crash. I tossed it out of the window (literally) and got an M-Audio revolution. Things have worked fine ever since.
1. Just download the codecs... automatix does it as a GUI. It may be illegal, but it works. 2. Can't comment on it, although setting up my Uni's Cisco VPN for WiFi is a huge pain... so I feel you there. 3. Most new machines I've installed Ubuntu 7.04 on handle hibernate without issues, if they have an Intel video card or an Nvidia video card. With regards to ATI, I still haven't managed to figure out how to hibernate from an XGL session. 4. Really? I think the layouts and menus are far more user friendly, and if you like pretty, then Beryl/Emerald either matches or surpasses anything and everything either Windows or OSX can offer.
I think for the watches, the amplitude of the "vibration" needs to be much higher in order to swing the arm. I doubt tiny little vibrations would do it, so for an application such as pacemaker, such a technology wouldn't do.
But yes, this looks extremely promising. Couple this with a nice, but small capacitor, with a capacity for 2-3 shocks (probably 5-15mA per discharge will be sufficient), and you've got a nice little pacemaker that recharges itself.
Or the website could have a feed of all new patents being filed, presented randomly, or searchable. People could "challenge" these patents on grounds of prior art or obvious, and I am sure some law firm somewhere would take up the case for the patents that get a lot of votes for being ridiculous.
Because grown ethanol is carbon-neutral. You burn the fuel, CO2 is emitted, plants fix CO2 into carbohydrates via photosynthesis... you make ethanol out of these plants, and burn it, emitting CO2. Rinse and repeat.
Just like nearly every other system on the face of the Earth, it's just another way of using solar power.
"In point of fact, Bill Clinton was impeached and disbarred for the same crime."
As I see it, perjury is different from treason. Yes... that's what Mr. Libby did - a conspiracy to reveal the identity of an undercover CIA agent is treason... and the he should've been punished accordingly.
No, it's not like painting a tank with a laser... it's like hanging a bomb over the tank using a crane.
All they demonstrated was that if you add LoxP sites to a DNA sequence, you can then cut the segment out using Cre recombinase - something the scientific community was doing for a decade now, when we design conditional knockouts. But just cause the DNA sequences happened to be HIV, this is now ground-breaking news?
A good analogy would be an article about a new way to identify Iraqi insurgents among the civilian population and kill them... with the NEW method being that we dress the insurgents in bright orange jackets with a big bullseye on the chest and back... then shoot them from point blank range.
The US still is under the impression that sanctions and trade embargoes will actually cause regime change in these countries.
And this impression is absolutely right. As the sanctions damage the economies of the countries in question and perpetuate the strife, the regimes do and will continue to change: from anti-US, aggressive, and violent... to MORE anti-US, MORE aggressive and MORE violent.
Autism is a syndrome, which can be caused by a number of underlying conditions, most of which remain elusive thus far. Fragile-X is just too easy and crude of a model.
Whenever I hear "Intelligent Design" and "theory" in the same question, I want to bash the speaker's brains in with a dictionary.
Intelligent Design IS NOT under any circumstances or interpretation, a scientific theory. It's a lets-do-the-god-thing-but-pretend-it's-something-e lse kind of a supposition (or should it be 'suppository').
Go to http://www.apple.com/iphone/ then watch the launch keynote. Then try to honestly say you'd rather have that current ugly lump you call a phone. I am not a fanboy, but I realise that there is the iphone and there is the rest.
<br> So I should get the iPhone for $500, and dump my Samsung Blackjack, which is smaller than the iPhone, slimmer than the iPhone, lighter than the iPhone, gets 800kbps in Manhattan via 3G HSDPA, has a finish which is almost impossible to scratch, has a real full QWERTY keyboard, and cost me a whole of $50. <br> Yeah, right... find another sucker.
You can either go off starting random wars of aggression, or you can conduct planetary exploration. The American taxpayer, quite rightly, doesn't want to pay for both. Many don't want to pay for either, frankly.
And many of the latter have the intelligence of a tree stump, and the foresight of a drunk gerbil up Richard Gere's asshole. Doesn't mean we should listen to them.
Yeah, I know... what kind of an idiot would even think about getting to the moon. If God wanted humans to fly, he'd have given us wings. If God wanted humans to fly in space, he'd have given us rockets.
I agree with the first part. His perfect phone certainly looks very different from my perfect phone.
Currently, I own the Samsung i607 (blackjack) which earns about an 8/10 from me, which no other phone ever did. It's very thin, light, durable, and has an easy-to-care-for matte finish. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, and a very nice screen, fast processor, 3G, etc... If it had a 4-day battery life instead of 1.5-2 day, and a standard bluetooth stack that would let me sync and tether with ease from my Ubuntu laptop, it would match my dream phone... Not so hard, really...
It's not a myth. It becomes apparent when people get their blood typed against their parents... for transplant and transfusion reasons. When the mother is AO-, the father is AB-, and the kid is O+, it's pretty easy to see what happened.
Well, you can go ahead and try to find $20'000 for an M16 (which is not fully automatic by the way, and only fires 3-round bursts, unless modified or the A1 version, which nobody would ever want anyway).
While you collect the $20'000 for the M16, I can get 10 AK-74s and 50kg of ammo... and still have some money left over.
See - you don't need money, just some common sense.

The players probably cost $20 to make.

None of us can do much about legislation that limits legal DVD playback to corporate shills.
Now that octosquid is here, could the OctoParrot be far behind?

Oh, wait, we're talking about Mars?
Firstly, Pan's Labyrinth is in Spanish, not Italian. Secondly, only an American could say that a movie sucks because it's in a different language.
My take on that is that you should kill yourself, for the benefit of the human gene pool.
That's bullshit, I have confirmation from a Dell representative that hardware warranty is honored irrespective of the OS used.
