I third this recommendation. It is also fun to monitor what companies sell you out and to whom. Since each address has a unique label you can watch who starts spamming it. And of course it then self destructs after it reaches the threshold and then no more spam.
Although it is just a matter of time until spammers start extractng spamgourmet.com addies and then create their own randomkeyword.99999.yourusername@. Then you still have the option to block specific senders, but it would start getting too troublesome to even bother.
Epicurious does have a huge repository, but I have had a handful of the recipes turn out nasty or just blah. Fortunately, they have a recipe review section where people can comment and add helpful comments like, "Don't use the 4 cups of salt in the chocolate cake that the recipes says to."

These are good points unfortunately Nicolelis' group has never done any controls on their 'scientific' work. All their papers are gee-whiz engineering work.
And you would be dissappointed to hear that their training set includes closed-sandbox X,Y,Z positions and not just movement vectors or specific muscle controls. Additionally, their 'online' processing is really not real-time.
But the Nicolelis project does not currently stimulate neurons. The implanted electrodes are strictly used for recording.
BUT there are plenty of neuro labs that are working on stimulating experiments in awake behaving animals.
Potter has done a lot of work on the project since then and electrodes were defintely incorporated. He has linked the cultured network up to a variety of output devices, including a stylus device to 'draw', onto a robot to manuever, and a DOOM-like virtual environment.

Yeah I could have sworn they presented something at a conference that showed the different signals they were getting. They even rigged the net up to a DOOM like simulator and let the neural net learn to navigate.
UCS petitions get forwarded around science labs all across the US and often blindly supported. I have seen on numerous occasions ivy league grad students and well-known professors blindly sign off on these petitions without ever having seen the literature in question (or the supporting literature for that matter). I don't put much faith in their numbers as a sign of rigorous and unbiased scientific support.
This is just to say that the organization's name and projected image should not in anyway influence the strength of their arguments.
.OB denotes that the stock is traded on an Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTC) rather than on the open market.
There are any number of reasons why a company would prefer to be traded OTC. Low trading volume, inability to meet an exchange's listing requirements, (which can also be because the company does not want to abide by disclosure policies of an exchange). SpaceDev has never been kicked down to OTC from an exchange listing. They started ground up from OTC and seems like they are doing pretty damn well.
taken from their mission statement "...The NanoKids(TM) educational outreach program, headed by Dr. James M. Tour, Chao Professor of Chemistry at Rice University, is dedicated to increasing public knowledge of the nanoscale world and the emerging molecular research and technology that is rapidly expanding internationally....".
I seriously hope research was not done into the synthesis of anthropomorphic molecules just for this NanoKids project. Like these kids who know dick about chemistry are going to appreciate if their little computer generated cartoon guide/tutor is chemically stable and in realistically viable configuration. I have no problem with the NanoKids(TM) project as an education venture sponsored by NSF to help promote interest in chemistry and nano-scale, but please...don't stretch it.
I haven't seen the film yet (and I really hope they release it near me), but I am pretty sure its going to be a play on words...
Hotep or -hotep is ancient egyptian for 'peace'. The meaning chagnes depending on the context, so could mean 'at peace', 'to grace', etc.. That root is often used in honorific titles of pharoahs/gods and very important folks i.e. Amenhotep.
So that is probably the case, Bubbahotep... something along the lines of 'Blessed Bubba who Graces us'...
shad'up and enjoy the movie...
I tried Homelands because several people told me it was similar to Sojourn, but a nice change. I have to say It has an overwhelming cheese factor to it...It has tons of races to choose from and classes, poorly balanced because of all of these choices. The ANSI made me ill...the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
That doesn't really tell you how much you are getting...you generally buy custom oligos at a certain synthesis scale... ~200 ul of what concentration?/end nitpicking
Yeah, then if you change a few TaqMan base pairs enough to change its configuration into a stem-loop structure...even though it is essentially the same sequence with a few base pair modifications you will be paying over 3x the TaqMan price, because you have stepped into the molecular beacon patent. Friggin' ridiculous
But since (amazingly) the process is patented you can't make a buck off it unless you pay some licensing fees. But yes, those that have paid those licensing fees have made RIDICULOUS profits from 16 well cyclers.
These are a few of really amazing MUDs at the top of my very short list:
* Sojourn / TorilMUD: I have been playing here since the early-mid 90s. It is a Forgotten Realms based setting w/ both good and evil races. The Imms have put a lot of time into balancing the MUD and creating a truly unique world. The quest system and zone creation is absolutely amazing. BUT this MUD is really for folks with a severe lack of a life and serious time commitment. It is not uncommon to require 4-8 (with MUCH higher requirements for CRs) hours of uninterrupted playtime in order to do some high end zones. This is also where much of Everquest was based, since some their original developers used to play back in some of its previous incarnations. *NOTE* as of Oct. 1st, Sojourn will be changing its name to TorilMUD. http://sojourn3.org http://torilmud.com ?
* MUME: I believe this is mentioned above. This is one of the first MUDs I ever played and is a great environment. Tolkein-based Middle Earth setting, a great player-based justice system, and race wars.
* SneezyMUD / GrimHavenMUD: This is one of the coolest codebases I have ever seen. This MUD is so unique and so much fun, but it has an ubercrappy playerbase. It has been around for as long as I can remember and has so much potential. http://sneezy.saw.net
* Carrion Fields: The PK MUD I play when I need to blow of some steam. This MUD has a very stock/cheese feel, but has a pretty well developed combat system and is a lot of fun.
I used to have wet dreams about a MUD running with a SneezyMUD codebase, using Sojourn's Zones and quests and area builders, and using some of Carrion Field's combat system...yum
One of the 'advantages' of this technique is that you don't necessarily need fingerprints. They can be wiped away. DNA is harder to wipe away. It tends to stick to surfaces, particularly textured or naturally charged surfaces.
The significance of these findings is greater than using DNA as a level of redundancy to fingerprint evidence.
DNA extracted from the region of a fingerprint does not prove that the DNA came from the fingerprint. Residual DNA coats every surface and depending on the environmental conditions, whether it is inside or outside exposed to the sun, many other sequences will be present.
Current sampling and extraction techniques can not avoid this contamination and if your favorite hangout turns out to be a murder scene, well you are in trouble. While control samples taken at the scene in areas where 'no fingerprints' occur can be taken to test background DNA, it certainly is not foolproof.
Additionally, races and skin types slough skin at different rates and have significant oil-content differences, so there will also likely be a discrepancy in who gets caught. tough luck.
We offer our locals a variety of courses and are always taking suggestions. When an interesting idea is submitted we usually set up a sign-up sheet and post a notice in the paper to test the interest levels.
Our regular classes include:
Building a Webpage
Intro. to Windows
Intro to Macs
Office 101
Using E-Mail
Finances and Bills with Your Computer
An Introduction to Digital Photography
And depending on your community...We have a lot of immigrants in ours and we offer a lot of computer-based ESL programs/courses
Good Luck!
tradesports.com has had a section for trading political events for some time now.
The events they have listed now are not as untasteful as DARPA's creation, but they did have quite a selection during and before the war with Iraq. Hell, you can trade weather too...
You can keep selling the alien's armor for 45 bucks. not the cop's. you also get +score each time.
Note the game has a cash limit and flips back to zero, but you can get a perfect score after harvesting armor for awhile. =P
Designing probes and new ships just changes the vehicle in which experiments are carried. While that may help probe-based scanning/roving missions, it doesn't address the majority of scientific missions performed in the shuttle.
I agree with your position, but at the same time IF we are to shift from human-based missions we need to puts lots of money into jack-of-all-trade robots for performing experiments and collecting data _inside_ the vehicle.
