No doubt. Powerful stuff. Too bad Kidman won't be there for the rest of the trilogy, but I don't think von Trier will disappoint... 'nuff said. Wouldn't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen
it.

Actually, by Rutherford's time the atomic theory was well established experimentally by
Jean Perrin Rutherford contributed to the nuclear theory of the atom (i.e. that it is composed of a nucleus which holds most of teh atom's mass and orbiting electrons of opposite charges).
...the CEO of Apple's Israeli representative Yeda offered to underwrite the localization work, pay 1million shekels, and assure a pre-order of 2,000 copies from Apple France - but Microsoft Israel declined.
So Yeda offered to take the job upon themsleves. MS does not have to pay anything to add Hebrew. Why does MS still refuse? Could it be they like their Windows platform better than Mac-OS?
Monopolies are legal in Israel. But, if a company/corporation is declared as a monopoly, it is subject to harsher regulations, as power abuse has much harsher market consequences. Microsoft is a monopoly. The anti-trust laws are invoked due to an abuse of monopoly power, not by being a monopoly per-se
Actually, Apple does support Hebrew, system level, and there are several good non-MS bi and tri- (Hebrew, Arabic & English) font products on the Mac. Trouble is, non of them are MS-Word compatible. Or rather, they try to be, but MS-Redmond & Tel-Aviv keep changing the rules. The Hebrew/English MS-Word is horrible (I spent quite a bit of time on it). Imagine the compounding bugs that crop up due to the requirement of cursor direction reversal, and added fonts and you get the idea. The Mac & the 3rd party products are a bit cumbersome, but by far less buggy
Once Linux achieves desktop world domination (or a slightly larger market share) would there not be a lot more script kiddies writing viruses to disrupt Linux? Viruses will always remain a headache, though hopefully not as large as the one caused by MS platforms. Any opinions on that?
Of course they should. And Linux Journal should explain in every issue what LDAP means, and Dr. Dobbs should explain what's the difference between the more legible text that comes after//, and the less legible one that reads like
for (i=j=0;s[i] != '\0'; ++i)
Point being: specialization is exclusive. Sorry. Re-explaining basic ideas in every scientific or technical paper is impossible. Nature & Science have actually done an excellent job on their sites and on paper in bringing the highlights in clear language. If you want to write a scientific report which is concise on the one hand, but contains enough results to be reproducible and critically read on the other, you need to use highly specific terms. These are not layman's journals, and their impact is calculated based on the number of times their articles have been cited by other specialists in other non-layman's journals.
On a final note: "Microbiologists" are scientists dealing with microorganisms. last time I checked, Nature/Science also had Physics, chemistry, astronomy, geology, and in the life sciences: neuroscience, endocrinology, cancer research, etc. etc. These articles are not read by everyone in the scientific community, nor by everyone in a single field.
Actually, maximal marginal tax in the US is 40%, one of the lowest in any developed economy. So are the various State sales taxes. Of course, weekly work hours are longer, and health, retirement and pre- and post K-12 education are mostly or fully controlled by the private sector.
Tradeoffs.
Actually, you cannot copyright a gene. Reason: you can only copyright written material, and a gene is not. You can patent a gene (or OneClick), and many companies, and even Universities and other NGO's do that as a matter of rote. You cannot patent a whole genome, as that is too general, but you can work an en-masse system to patent the genes within that genome, as has and is being done for various genomes.
