Or the new alterations could make them cure cancer. Stranger stuff has happened where genetic mutations are involved. In 500 years for all we know mosquitoes could be a symbiotic relationship with human kind as important as the one we have with the bacteria in our bowels.
The approach exploits the fact that the health of infected mosquitoes is itself compromised by the parasite they spread. Insects that cannot be invaded by the parasite are therefore likely to be fitter and out-compete their disease-carrying counterparts.
The only advantage the parasite free mosquitoes have is that they don't carry the parasite. Its not like they increased their breeding rate or anything. When there is a source of uninfected blood the GM mosquitoes lose their advantage.
The moon base could theoretically become self sustaining. If they could get a good source of water they could supply themselves with pretty much everything else they require.
Like many other Alabama laws there is little to no enforcement except when the politicians need to rile up the voters and start up the "OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!" talking heads.
Ah my home state. We may be dead last when it comes to education, but damn if we aren't the number one home of useless laws.
Overhead mostly. Also there is a good chance of important data being lost when one of the computers holding part of a critical application goes offline. Sure you could add redundancy, and rate the importance of certain things so they would go to dedicated systems, but then you have even more overhead.

Please. Have you ever seen a cow? They look at you with dead, dead eyes, and you know that if they had opposable thumbs they would pick up the nearest rock and bash you over the head to feast on your sweet, sweet brain meats.
I don't read Slashdot for half-assed recycled jokes like this or "you must be new here", I come for an intelligent discussion. You really must be new here. Half ass jokes and personal attacks have been a hallmark of Slashdot from the beginning.

What about women's heart disease? It gets far less attention than breast cancer, but kills far more women.
But would they set the mines off? What if they have impact sensors instead of pressure sensors?
Thats why the mine clearing things we use now have a big rotor with chains attached to it to beat the ground.
Fortunately since solar power would be feasible on such a planet they wouldn't have to worry about global warming.
So you mean like right between the two suns? Wouldn't that be a bit hot?

Debts aren't inheritable. The creditors can grab what there is of the estate, but other than that they are up a smelly creek.

In a few million years they will become sentient, and very violent.

20.
Since 100 is an average IQ then the opposite of a number 80 points above average would be a number 80 points below average.

Yeah, since I started playing Natural Selection I sometimes find myself fighting the urge to drop from the ceiling and parasite, chomp, chomp someone.
Actually 50% of them have no dick at all. We call them females.
I would be more concerned with putting a laptop with a magnet based storage medium on a desk with a powerful magnetic field.

Just used the colored stuff. Nothing says sealed for your protection like a red piece of plastic over the toilet.

Or is that zombies... I can never remember.
Because someone came up with the idea to do a "What do we know this year that we didn't know last year?" column and needed to fill out 100 items.
Yeah and women eat chocolate to fill a psychological need.
I don't know. He may be on to something.
Bah I just dislike 20 feet of man-ass. I never wanted to see that much of Keanu Reeves.
Like these?
You just do what the voice in your head tell you to do. Seriously, read up on the Holy Spirit.
