I sincerely doubt very much anyone would give a rat's *ss if instead of human eggs for clonning research, his lab worked with human hair for cosmetic research.
Which is quite ironic, since one of the main points in his whole field of research is that both things are to be approached with the same ethical guidelines.
One excellent idea. Specially considering that you can use a fake (and safer) picture to advertise your idea to your neighbours, but have the roof panels actually composing the goatse masterpiece.
Imagine, you'll become a neighbourhood legend when the final result appears on ESA's website.
That's a very poorly informed opinnion, and you should seriously consider reviewing it.
Brazil may have a lot of poverty, but the educated class (the ones with a degree, or at least complete education) are usually very efficient and hard working professionals, even compared to international levels. On all fields. When we speak of Market, specifically IT market, that's the people we are talking about here.
The problem is that this educated class is dwarfed in comparison to the poor/uneducated masses, and being poor is not a choice, much less a matter of lazyness. We're talking about a government that does not provide easy access to public schools. That does not guarantee some access to education on any level. And yet, has the highest taxes (either on income or services/production) of the entire planet.
Pirated software around here is usually 10 reais (around 3.50 dollars) per CD. You can bargain for a discount for mutliple-CD packages.
And that's true for $100 software or $5000 software. Everything's the same price (per CD) on the pirate market.
Definitely a must see, the Artur Dent choice of actor couldn't have been better.
It is still a bit disappointing that Zaphod does not have his 2nd head on the movie. It was the source of much humour. And Marvin looks like just a guy in a robot suit, Teletubbie-style. I thought the whole "brain the size of a planet" thing was more like a metaphor for his immense intellect, not just a huge head...
I`m personaly still recovering from the shock of being intentionally infected with envelope remains of the Polio virus, in my childhood.
Outrageous! I demand reparations!
You'll laugh, but in portughese, Count Dooku sounds like "Count Of Asshole".
Believe it or not, they had to rename him to Count Dookan (in the subtitles) for the Brazillian audience.

Khan academy should have a Day9 section.

I guess this explains the overall obsession for the theme... Warcraft II: Orcs vs Humans
Glad to know we beat them in the end!

Slow day on slashdot. Pretty much any crap gets greenlighted for the first page.
Truly, there's nothing sadder then a failed FP.

In Rio we have some summer rain in March, and some cloudy/windy weather in July.
But that's about it.

There is no dark side of the moon.
There is only the far side of the moon, which gets as much sun-light as the other side

Don't forget the buried black soul-sucking spider ship.

Maybe disguised as chubby, trashy pop star clones.
