Well, it would seem to me that cells would stop multiplying due to some external factor, since there wouldn't be any other way for them to know what to do. Maybe the factor that causes cells to stop multiplying in rats is different than in humans (it would seem likely to me.)
I think that using rat cells would be a lot more informative in this study than using human cells. Using stem cells from another type of animal is just introducing another large variable, which would seem to be a poor experimental design.
Besides, even if they did stop when they were "supposed" to, a human brain is larger than several rats put together. Maybe it would have stopped eventually? who knows? And, a comparative study might even allow discoveries of cell-dividing factors that could lead to treatments for cancer, etc.
On the other hand, maybe it would make sense to try to use rat cells in a larger animal... since these are cells just used to produce dopamine, not produce cognitive function, maybe they would work better in this way.
It sucks to have to say that I think it's a stupid study, since it was done at my school. I'll have to find out where this guy's office is and point it out.:)
Are you sure that's what it means? Guantanamo is a military base, and Iraq is technically a different country (with its own separate listing). I'm curious to know what this actually refers to.
I reread the article, and it was human cells. This makes no sense. Why would they expect it to work in the first place? Seems like you'd want to test rat stem cells in a rat.
Maybe that's why it didn't work. And, if it would work, why couldn't they just use rat fetus cells in a human?
Practically everyone recognizes that, if private individuals are allowed to own fully-automatic AK47s, there will be serious problems enforcing civil order.
" it is noted that there are about 420,000 assault rifles stored at private homes, mostly SIG 550 types." I never hear about any serious problems enforcing civil order in Switzerland.
Usually, I find a forum where the question is asked, but nobody answers. All I've determined is that someone else doesn't know either, and it's a waste of time.
If the information you want is in wikipedia, it's far more pleasant than wading through all the irrelevant ads and garbage that come up on Google.
I'll use google if I want to buy something, or for specific sorts of preprogrammed searches, like Google Calculator, or tracking UPS packages, or if I already know something is on another site, and then include the site address in the search. Looking for anything general on Google is just asking for irritation.
So what? Dell makes hardware, and they're profitable. Sure, not every business has a high a margin as software (actually, very few do), yet there are still businesses making other products besides software. It's like saying that say, Nokia should just make firmware for cellphones and sell that, since it's a higher margin than actually making the phones.
I don't suppose that tracking and focusing on known terrorists, or communications with sites with known links to terrorist organizations, figures into that.
It doesn't. If they suspect/know of a terrorist, they get disappeared to a secret prison and tortured.
It's a lot like buying cigarettes at a reservation. Legally, you can possess (in NY anyway), I believe two cartons of untaxed cigarettes. The reservations do not charge cigarette tax. It is perfectly legal to go to a reservation, buy two cartons of cigarettes, and leave.
However, it is still illegal for a store to sell untaxed cigarettes off the reservation, or for you to sell any of your cigarettes.
I'm curious to know the date of when your spam started (Mine started Sept. 26), and whether you used Chronopay (I started getting them a few days after using it). Otherwise, I had the account for quite some time before receiving any spam.
The same thing happened to me. I run my own mail server on a private domain, and give one-time addresses to companies. There is no possible way for these addresses to receive spam by chance.
I started receiving these spam messages on Sept 26, 2006, ten days after using Chronopay. The account had been longstanding at allofmp3, which leads me to believe that Chronopay is selling the email addresses. In the (almost) month since they started appearing, I have received 334 spam sent to allofmp3@(my server).

Who cares? It's a rat fetus.
I like seeing how people got so upset about this article. It's a goddamn rat fetus.
It was probably a rat fetus.
If it fails 100% of the time as predicted, it's not useless, since it validates the model. It's useless if it only fails half of the time.

So what if the text hasn't changed. The text of the 2nd amendment hasn't changed at all, but the interpretation has. Same with the bible.

It's not wrong. He said "It might effect profits", meaning it might bring about profits.

No company is altrustic, but most realise that token displays of good will can also be good for business.
I usually hear the law expressed as "Data expands to fill its container", sort of like air.
Brain Age is horrible for the casual gamer. It makes me feel guilty if I don't play it every day.
Because you should use remote X sessions via SSH.
Yeah. it's on Fox News, right now.
We already know the answer to the question is 42. We can use them to find out what the question was.
Hey, it's a valid question, in as much that i've been reading the comments for a half-hour and still don't know the answer.
Yet, nvidia links against the kernel and doesn't release source code. I guess it's just a question of which has more lines.
According to http://games.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=199749&c id=16358341, it's just a rumor.
