The GOP presidential candidate called, he wants his false equivalencies back!
You saying it's a false equivalency doesn't actually make it a false equivalency.
New York Medical College Professor of Cell Biology and Anatomy Stuart Newman calls the use of chimeras as entering unsettling ground which damages "our sense of humanity."
Using baby parts because the mother decided "she didn't want to" damages "our sense of humanity", too.
Are you really trying to form an equivalency between genetic construction of a Chimera, and research on harvested fetal stem cells?
I'm not trying to form a moral equivalence between the two.
And really with the political shit? left-wing?
Opposition to Bush's fetal stem cell ban certainly didn't come from the Right.
(I think... hard to say these days)
That's true.
Try to look at issues by their merit
That's such a (pun intended) God awful slipperly slope. After all, lots of Russians thought there were ten metric ass-loads of merit in the idea of raping hundreds of thousands German woman and girls. Japanese thought their actions in Nanking were highly meritorious, too. Fritz Haber thought it was highly meritorious to develop chemical weapons for use by the Fatherland in the Great War.
Shall I go on, or do you get the point?
instead of whatever your coach tells you your team is all about.
No man is an (intellectual) island, entire of itself.
Though many pretend to be, many want to be, and parents+teachers say that everyone is, in reality only a (relative) few are actually talented enough for their creativity to be worthwhile.
Efficiency. The gains from going 1,200 MPH instead of 600 MPH aren't worth the extra expense. Amdahl's Law -- though aimed at computing -- comes to mind
And wind, snow, etc. It doesn't take much imagination to guess what would happen if you installed one of these anywhere it snows more than an inch a year, or there's strong winds and heavy rain.
but as of a few weeks ago my connection is completely useless for regular non-text based use
When this happened to me, I logged into my cable modem (SB6141) and looked at the signal strength status page. It was waaaaaayyyy down, so I called Cox -- on Saturday afternoon -- and they came out Monday morning. After replacing a bunch of cable and connectors from the pole to the corner of my house, the signal is much better and speeds are greatly improved.
If we could somehow convince the big traffic jammers (big-rigs, perhaps) to run between 8pm and 4am, that would alleviate traffic for the average commuter.
Like torrenting stuff instead of using Netflix...
(Is there a way to tell Netflix that you're going to watch some movie or TV shows *tomorrow* night and have it download the data for you from 10PM to 6AM?)
What the hell are you talking about? There's nothing in my local ISP (Cox) that's the same as it was 15 years ago, much less 30 (when I was just a cable subscriber). Heck, even the last 40 yards of coax from "that box on the street corner" has been replaced a couple of times.
At some point when I wasn't watching, Cox bumped my cap from 250GB to 700GB. (No, I wasn't getting any usage warnings, and my bill hasn't gone up either.)

Note: You started this partisan bickering....
What's your point?
You assume that religion is required for those thoughts. Very disappointing.

Where's the moralistic left-wing outrage like what they did against Bush?
Of course the Portland Trail Blazers rely on human flesh to maintain their human appearance... LOL
Who else thought "NID" from the Stargate universe???

And what's twitter doing to stop China and Russia from using it's APIs?
So, so young you are.
Synthetic fuels and biofuels are easy sustainability solutions
If they were easy sustainability solutions, we'd be using them by now. But they're not
Bio-fuel powered flight
Biofuels are not the same as synthetic fuels.
Synthetic fuels
As in "using energy to combine carbon monoxide and hydrogen"?
We also stalled out with SST. Why?

It affects peoples lives the way all NASA conspiracies do: N.W.O.
And reptilians from Nibiru. Can't forget about them!
And wind, snow, etc. It doesn't take much imagination to guess what would happen if you installed one of these anywhere it snows more than an inch a year, or there's strong winds and heavy rain.
It doesn't rain in Dubai.
But it does where sane people live. (SoCal isn't sane.)
molten sodium to store the energy
Doesn't that jack up the cost?
I also can't prove that you aren't capable of reaching out with your thoughts, grabbing the Moon, and hurling it into the Sun.
I'm going to steal that, and you can't stop me...
I don't quite see the advantage of "real time" though
It's easier than the IM prog printing "John Doe is typing a message". Also, people used to TTY/TTD are used to it, and probably don't want it changed.
This is really, really old technology.
VAX PHONE did this 37 years ago, and I'm sure that RSTS and other PDP-11 OSs had something similar.
My (large) ISP is not in the content creation business.

God-worshippers aren't going to adopt all those babies.
Amazingly, the determination whether or not life begins at conception is divorced from one's concept of the supernatural.
