It is always interesting to see how they ignore gene expression, the role of the extracellular matrix (where much of it happens), the importance of mechanotransduction (tensegrity, see Ingber) and thus posture (as a way to cope with gravity as a constant stimulus) when it comes to causes for deseases.
Well, salesdroids of the pharmaceutical industry, IMHO.
"Scientists have discovered why atmospheric levels of methane have stabilised in recent years, but their findings are bad news for industry and agriculture where rising emissions of the greenhouse gas have been revealed.
The scientists, including researchers from France's Climate and Environment Science Laboratory and Australia's national science agency CSIRO, found that a reduction in natural emissions of methane from wetlands has been masking rising emissions from human-related activity."
Sic! Intuition still works, and, believe me, I did not read this before.
You've only listed the "natural" sources of Methane.
I quoted so: "sources.html#natural". I based my guess on the figure that man is contributing 60% (as they say).
I assume that the 544TgCO2 Equivalents/year you cite are from the table which gives figures for the U.S. alone, while the 190Tg/year are on a global basis. The 154.1TgCO2 Equivalents/year is also U.S only. So I see a problem.
Not the method, but the concept, IMHO. Like in: keep record of your products (file cards, inventory), have a way to display it to your customers (printed catalog), have a way to tell them what they want (mail order),... you got the point.
To make it short: software (among other things) cannot be patented. Imagine someone comes up with a "real" AI passing Turing. Get sued, you "improperly" make use of IP.
this is very interesting for Google, they could absorve all the Web into their datacenters
Which is what they are up to - like creating the biggest (post TV & print) market research engine & advertising machine ever thought of. VNU, Taylor Nelson Sofres etc. will be dwarfed.
Not so much better than children can. Mines will get improved for better killing capabability, robot proved, optimum price/kill coefficient. Humanity? Fuck it!
Perfect target. And, no, I do not hate Americans (nor do I hate bushes). We will get this too, and be in scope as well. But, as you follow the site, polititicans... (no need to enlarge).
I'm not American. Apart from that, I agree on all points:)
I just missed the ":)" (about to prepare a flame). You beat me, however, I am not in a real good condition. No real insult intended, though. OOps. BTW, just curious like a cat, what nationality?

is a result of the person making the report not knowing how to read a patent application
s hot.html
Claims, yes. Disclaimer: IANAL, nor even a U.S. citizen.
In the rare occurance that such a patent is granted
Like here: http://www.slingshots.com/html/wrist-braced-sling
it is never enforced because the lawyers who are called upon to enforce such patents know they won't be able to
Yes, enforcing surely would not conform to business ethics.

Wetlands 76%
Termites 11%
Oceans 8%
Hydrates 5%
http://www.epa.gov/methane/sources.html#natural
So my first guess would be a global reduction of wetlands. Nope, I shall not look for evidence now, it is 3a.m. .

if the method can be explained in a sentence this audience is more than willing to call it "obvious"
And I would bet that many other audiences would do as well. Those are commonly believed to have common sense of sorts.
