I love my DVD of plan 9 (of course I paid 3.99 for it). It is so bad it is good. And, compared to Manos: the hands of fate and the wild world of batwoman, plan 9 is a national treasure. Of course, Manos is the very worst movie I have ever seen.
Oops I forgot Pink Flamingos - it's bad and revolting. I have seen people on different occasions vomit while watching.
Well it just so happens I am in the process of ordering one of those 3D printers, so I think I have a good reason to order on of these toys for "research" purposes.
Also, I can have a presenter station for my 3D projector system. I'll be able to stand up front manipulate and manipulate the scene without looking over my shoulder, or wearing the silly googles. Just what I needed.

There would still be a need for the valves in the veins for stopping backflow. The venous pressure is very low. If i remember right (my last physiology course was a long time ago), most of the return flow is added by movement (muscles squeezing the veins pushing blood through the valves and the breathing cycle which causes the large veins to expand and collapse which pulls blood back to the thorax and towards the heart.
This is a very simplistic explanation as I remember it, and I haven't had much coffee yet so the old gray matter is not ticking at full speed yet.
Absolutely right this unless the acquired mutation occurs in the gametes (eggs/sperm) it can't be passed on. Evolution through acquired traits is termed Lamarckian evolution. It it hard to imagine circumstances in which this would happen in sexually reproducing organisms. While there is some evidence that this might work in single celled organisms, but that is another story.
What this might show that there is a region of the brain that if altered through mutation could bring perhaps lead to bipedal behavior.
Now if this behavior was beneficial and led the better survival and reproduction, and the monkey taught its offspring to walk, it could be passed on through culture. Of course that would need not be restricted to offspring.
I am not that interested in North Korean politics, but I like to travel, so I decided to take responsibility for tourism, so you can now reach me at tourism. Maybe we can help them out, with other key functions we can take control of. I may also try to control education and entertainment, or does someone else want these areas?
You're right, they would be much better off killing the traffic to the cells in question, so it shows a signal, but they can't actually use it to communicate, assuming that works.
Now that I think about it, this could explain a lot. I guess there is permanent terrorist activity around my house, my signal is always bad. I'll be watching my neighbors a bit more closely now.
We aren't that lucky, we take data where we can get it. Some times even the authors when it comes time to archive don't have the unpublished material, and we take the published materials (ideally you have both). Imagine, they have a published copy and it is in a form with DRM and even they, as the author and rights holder, can't access it. I do not think the scenario is too far fetched.
People are not thinking 20 years out when they encrypt their content. Good thing most of these DRM schemes are poorly implemented and easily broken, but they are getting hard to defeat.
At least for the time being, this content will (some time in the next century) fall into the public domain. DRM that fails to remove itself after a reasonable time should be illegal. I agree with everyone else who believes that DRM is restricting our current fair use rights, but as someone who deals with archives, this is a major concern. The media industry is technologically destroying the public domain.
No, no, what they really want is that you pay for every second of content you see. Replay a scene to see again, pay again. Slow it down so you can see the action, pay even more for that.
Where do these two products compare on DRM. If I remember correctly, the EULA of Windows Media says MS has the right to add DRM (some of which is there already) and pretty much do whatever they want to your computer to do it. So as the original submitter suggests they could easily implement the broadcast flag, or implement DRM so that only media from trusted sources could be played. I suppose TIVO could do this too, I don't know, but I'd like to.
I'm glad someone is doing it given the speed at which MS provides this kind of assistance. It has to be part of their business plan. "If we wait long enough someone else will do it for us, and we can save some money" How do you think they get the cash they use to pay consulting groups to tell us how secure their OS is?
Why? Because of the imperfection of the funding model. To get the funding even basic science, pure knowing for knowing sake, needs to do something that captures the imaginations of the congress people and the press. Saying that they might be finding the building blocks gets publicity, and publicity equals dollars.
BTW, oversight is a good thing, but it just goes to show what a bad job we are doing in science education that research agencies need to do flashy publicity to keep the public's and congress' interest.
Writing letters is important, very important, but to beat money, it helps to have money. I changed a portion of my employer sponsored charity program to the EFF. This year, I am switching the entire amount to them.
What cookies don't tell you is who the person is, are visitors in the target demographic, are you missing an audience, etc. Of course, that said, I don't want to give that information out to most advertisers.
Maybe this is a bit too tin-foil hat, but aren't they are already doing it, but in a more covert fashion - and a way that works for that matter.
Look at some of the television shows that likely have DOD and/or DOJ consultants like Navy NCIS or the Threat Matrix. Look at the nice military agents or agents unidentified who save us without our even knowing they were there.
The patent office is giving out these patents left and right. If each one needs to have a post-award prior art or other challenge, it will be like bailing the Titanic with a thimble. Eventually the group who is fighting the patent, thus usually has no real dollars at stake is likely to tire first.
I still wonder if preemptive patents or a register of prior art might not be a good idea to fight fire with fire.
You need to search the University Microfilm (UMI) database, almost all accredited doctoral granting institutions require that dissertations be published through them. That said, there is only one dissertation registered to someone named Pransky
The experience of participants after Health Realization training: A one-year follow-up phenomenological study
by Pransky, Jack Bernard;, PhD, 1999
Maybe Jack became Joanne? (to quote Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with that.")
So if I want to hurt my competition, I hire a spammer to send messages related to my competitors' products. They get fined into the stone age and I win. The work it would take to figure out who actually is paying for the ads would be tremendous, I wonder if it ever could be enforced.
In case people are not aware of the dangers there is a very informative web site that highlights more dangers in addition to it lethality when inhaled. Some of these include:
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
You could set up a paypal account like people who spend themselves into debt and want others to pay it off. I'd much rather support an initiative that results in a huge fireball. I bet that was Elon Musk's idea for PayPal all along; to set up a way for geeks to pay to shoot themselves into space.
Maybe not on the OS side, but Macromedia is trying to drive everything through flash. I just was sent a document that was an swf. called "flashpaper". They are running interactive web sites, video, and web conferencing through it. And they are creating their own "standards" like RTMP (real time messaging protocol). They might be more focused, but they are expanding into new markets all the time.

BTW to be respectful of Kim Jong, I chose my birthday to match his, Feb 16, 1942 - it was the best I could find with google.

They won't let me buy it online. I don't trust people who won't let me just type my credit card number into a web form.

They should have been making their customers pay the hidden tax of buying off the legislators like the other telcos do.
