Weissman has already created mice with brains that are about one percent human.
Later this year he may conduct another experiment where the mice have 100 percent human brains. This would be done, he said, by injecting human neurons into the brains of embryonic mice.
Before being born, the mice would be killed and dissected to see if the architecture of a human brain had formed. If it did, he'd look for traces of human cognitive behavior.
Yyyyyyyyyeah. The abortion/non-abortion people are gonna have a bloody field day with that one.
Anyway, I wonder what kind of processing capability a scaled-down human brain would have. My understanding was that smaller brains actually decrease the length of time it takes for impulses to jump across neural connections, or something along those lines. (IANANeurosurgeon.) Maybe those super-intelligent transdimensional mice aren't too far off.
Google, Novell, Cisco (?) etc. Seems like all those ivy founders had major educational problems. I would probably modded as troll if I were to say that another funny coincidence strikes me - they are all americans. But I'm not saying it;-)
Another funny coincidence: all your examples are big name companies.;-)
If anyone can direct me as to the correct way to make a link with the name Gaim, like the parent has (and as I obviously failed to do here), I would be most apreciative.
Same way you make any other link in html:

Amtrak is actually way more anal about photo ID. Where the airlines accepted my Bank of America debit card with my photo on it as identification, Amtrak didn't. Fortunately, it wasn't that long of a drive...
The same technology that can monitor newbies in the fluffy-bunny level can monitor the Uber players in the jeweled-dragon level: a packet sniffer and protocol analyzer.
What are you talking about? While The Simpsons is pretty good,
"Pretty good"?! Hand over your Slashdot uid (if one thou hast), you don't belong here.:P
Cartoon Network alternates between anime which is only slightly less obnoxious than the commercials they play, and computer generated "cartoon" shows made on a shoe-string budget that have about zero thought put into them.
I lost cable a while back, but I'm assuming you're talking about ReBoot. I happened to like that show. (Yeah, the anime pretty much does suck.)
Comedy Central occasionally has some really good stuff, but the majority of their content is stupid humor that I didn't even find funny in the 6th grade.
I'm in fifth grade, you insens--eh, never mind.
Like I said, no mo cable, but once they started moving away from the 80's standup club tapes, they were doing vastly better -- though they still ran odd movies for a comedy channel. Wasn't "Misery" on it once?(?!)
In any case, you're pretty much right. So, chalk up one more to TV sucking.
There's just nothing good on TV anymore, with the following exceptions: The Simpsons, pretty much anything on Cartoon Network, maybe half of anything on Comedy Central, and maybe various pr0n.
Are you saying that the FBI should be banned from investigating any and all activities occurring on the internet ?
Are you saying they should be able to subpoena anyone and anything on a whim?
I'm saying they should have better justification than "we got portscanned, and it was probably nmap".
First of all, it might not have been nmap. Secondly, if it was, they probably had it lying around on their hard drives for quite some time. And then they may well have gotten it from a mirror (apt-get install nmap? ftp'd from their home server? another compromised server?).
Point: the httpd logs will provide no useful information for evidence against any one cracker.
Alternatively, they already know someone downloaded nmap -- in which case they don't need the server logs, since they already know who it was (read: employee/agent).
Point: the httpd logs will provide no useful information for evidence against any one cracker.
Or maybe they're just <tinfoil-hat> building a shitlist </tinfoil-hat>
Summary: the FBI is either stupid or evil. Or both.
Maybe I really am a flaming idiot -- no, scratch that, I am definitely a flaming idiot. Nonetheless, if you would point out the holes in my arguments, I'd happily stand corrected.

Just pop another crystal in.
How many times have you meant to type "serve" and noticed the next day you typed "server"?
"I'm blogging this locally, and will post it when the servers come back up"
This looks like something out of a really bad scifi movie.
Still looks like fun, though.

Touche.
that "Mathematics and Sex" is next to "What Interests High-School Students" on the front page?
I think you should take a look at this before you talk about spelling and grammar any more.

I miss Spy versus Spy.
Best video game ever.

What's the point of a wireless mouse that needs the mousepad to be plugged in?
They're looking for these chicks!
There are so many things wrong with this.
Can you challenge subpoenas?
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Pepsi Green!
;-)
I was going to mod down that AC troll, but eh, I figured this was more important.
Not quite.
It's comparing the addresses of stuff, not the values.
Still, a silly patent.
