IIRC (and it's been a few years), bacterial transposons can move DNA from one bacterium to another, and even incorporate it into host chromosomal DNA, but this discovery does seem to be unique. The whole frikken' genome is there! Sounds like a goof on the assembly line. I blame a god.
My 60MHz 6100, 66MHz 6100, 66MHz 7100 and 80MHz 8100 all decode an MP3 just fine
That's not fair! Your slippery wording reveals the truth! You obviously made a Beowulf cluster of them, giving you (in total) a 212 MHz PPC, with a Total Model value of 21000 (or average model value of 7100).
Is that stuff running in the background? I just thought it was some icons that some programs put in so you'd have quick access to them. Seriously.
Look, I'm a Mac user by night and they make me use a PC at work and no-one has ever said "hey, these icons over here are services still running". (why is the volume control there?) and even if they did, I wouldn't expect anything untoward out of them. F'rinstance, iTunes still has a service (of sorts) running after I quit iTunes proper, but it's not at the store listening to music AFAIK.
The punishment I mete out is to try and prevent an action that will have far worse consequences than the punishment.
In the God case, the punishment (eternal damnation) seems to be far worse than the action or behaviour it's trying to prevent. Surely a minor smoting would be sufficient?
Not really - the person with cancer, skin boils or leprosy will still behave as a person is expected to behave (i.e. no sudden outbursts of violence). Those with certain infectious diseases may be segregated for infection control reasons, but not because they are expected to do anything weird (unless they have rabies, which does affect personality).
I don't think too many people are being stuck in mental institutions for "not conforming to societal norms". It's hard enough to get a bed for the genuinely mentally ill these days. Deinstitutionalisation is a wonderful buzzword, but it means depleted mental health budgets.
I hope you're not trying to paint mentally ill people as merely misunderstood free spirits who society just doesn't understand, because free spirits don't usually try to slash themselves.
Now that I can agree with. However, while on my high horse, I would like to say that the stigma associated with mental illness is something society needs to alter. You can't "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" if you have cancer, right? Well, since when is a neurochemical imbalance anything different?
The difference is that a person with cancer is still basically the same person as they were before they got cancer. People who know them, or even people who don't know them, can assume their behaviour and reactions will fit usual societal norms. Someone with a mental illness isn't like that. In a given situation, they may react unexpectedly. Or they may act unexpectedly with no provocation, where 'unexpectedly' could be anything from odd behaviour that's unexplainable and unsettling to those who witness it all the way to self-harm or violence to those around them.
The stigma associated with mental illness is simply a form of self preservation.
I speak as one who has a family member with a (now controlled) mental illness.
Well, maybe I'm *hoping* they'd take it back for 20 cents. Chances are the return is too low for the youths old enough to push trolleys around safely, and shopping centres probably don't want 8 year olds pushing them around for pocket change. One flattened kid just isn't worth the hassle.
Cue the "Back in my day, you could buy... for 2 cents" speech.
Well, I kinda like having ABS, airbags and crumple zones. The aircon is pretty nice, too. My first car had a fan system that blew hot in summer, cold in winter. It also had windows that were hard to roll and doing a three point turn was a bitch. So if it turns out that I need all the electroninc systems to save fuel so I can have my safety features and creature comforts, so be it.
We have that at Aldi stores here (Australia) and it has been tried in others, but they dropped it.
Sounds like a good idea, but you try and juggle all the shopping and two little kids, the last thing you are going to do is take the damn trolley back. So you get pissed off that you've been charged a dollar for the privilege of shopping there, so you go to the supermarket that doesn't charge that.
You may end up paying more, but you're shopping somewhere that doesn't treat you like a delinquent for not returning your trolley.
If it was 20 cents, I'd gladly leave it in the trolley for enterprising youth to claim, but a dollar is a tad high.

I suppose the difference is that you go to a doctor to try and get something fixed. This guy didn't want the cop at all...
Get a DNA test. You may have gotten the gene's from your neighbor's father...

You should have used the TimeCube function.

Live and learn...
So, do you own a Macintosh and a McIntosh ?
i'm not sure if i could take the added excitement!
live television coverage of paternity determinations is already a thrill aminute!

Why? What have you seen? I was just trying to jump over her and I got stuck. Naked.
Another vote for MTR + Toast.
Made one recently of a Pink DVD that didn't work very well however. Maybe Pink has access to some funky copy protection stuff...
Do you know just how smart the guy who invented BD+ was?
Let me put it this way: have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Morons.

>>who prides himself on the BMWs he's owned
What? Four? Ranging in age from '88 to '06. Hardly indulgent of him...
>>and lists his top 'interest' as Apple?
We are ALL interested in Apple. That's why we click on the stories under the heading "Apple".
You so silly! You make me laugh.
Hang on. Didn't those movies suck? Maybe Adam is the film equivalent of Ted McGinley?
Do not be unnecessarily confrontational with your wife. This is the path to happiness.
am too. my mom told me i'm the kewlest kid she knows. and i'm 42 so that must mean it's true.
