It wasn't a mutation they talk about in this paper but rather a gene that is different expressed in mice and Human. This little difference leads to remarkable different brain size. It is a big step towards understanding why our brain has this huge cortex (which is folded) and it is this cortex where all our higher brain functions are located, Math, language, etc. Of course a big brain is not necessary more intelligent than a smaller brain, but given the right input while its develops it is far superior to every other brain.

Yeah great, first thing to do when you get a new router. But you do realize that you are on slashdot and neither my father nor my kids or any of my friends know slashdot or would dare to flash a new router... In other words 99% of the population do know everything about facebook and angry birds, but nothing about router systems, security, backdoors or anything closely related that isn't an icon they can click or touch...
The AC Josephson effect (Wikipedia)
With a fixed voltage across the junctions, the phase will vary linearly with time and the current will be an AC current with amplitude and frequency . The complete expression for the current drive becomes.... This means a Josephson junction can act as a perfect voltage-to-frequency converter.
So if you can apply 30 V to a Josephson junction you would get 14 THz...
"...as a reminder to me of why the open source movement is at such a disadvantage and never seems to make any real progress..."
Funny, software development is a kind of evolutionary process which causes forks and branches, some proliferate (android) some die. What's your point,if it doesn't make any progress, get rid of all your linux devices close by, that would include settop boxes, media servers, most of the backbone of your internet provider and you wont believe it but also your dish washer. Linux and Opensource is nowadays so abundant, you can't get anything with a system running (house security systems in particular) except you want Windows:-)
Wouldn't they get even shorter interconnects between the cores, if the finally go into the third dimension? "Cube" would have a totally new meaning. they just have to solve these heat problems...
Yes, very radioactive, but as said before it's a beta emitter and a low energy beta emitter. So to make it clear to all those who believe "radioactive = mean, dangerous, deadly", it doesn't have the energy to ionize anything further than a micrometer away (in water) and could therefore considered harmless to human.
Sorry, wasn't meant as harsh as it sounded, but observing something does mean that you are also noticed by whatever you observe, if there is an equivalent technical level present and if the technical level is higher, well than we are under the microscope...
They may be friendly, they may not, but if they are not, and if they can travel here, they could likely splatter us like a bug without slowing down.
And therefore it wouldn't work to hide, where do you want to hide?
Again, sorry if it sounded harsh
I don't know who thought, that this is insightful, it's not. How do you want to hide, if you don't know what's the technical abilities of your "enemy"? What is the most important thing in war? Exactly, reconnaissance is what gives you an advantage.
There are a lots of reasons to look for E.T.s, but if you only see it from the angle of self protection, you really want to have S.E.T.I up and running as good as possible. I much prefer to know that there is a superior aggressive Alien race living 35 light years away (and pack up my stuff and run), than finding out that there are aggressive in the moment they arrive here and asking me whether I would like to play hide and seek...
If everybody followed this quote, particle physics and some other sciences would not be where it is now. In those fields scientists sometimes make theories which predict something and then they make tests. Otherwise every theory would only explain data you have (like string theory) instead of making new exciting predictions (like quantum theory). That would assume that these theories were born out of nothing, which is not true, they were developed to explain natural observed phenomena, like the decay of isotopes etc. Quantum theory didn't just jump out of nothing but evolved from hypothesis and experiments that have been made and by observations that couldn't be explained by the available theories at that time.
Sounds like something a detective in a writer of detective fiction with a flair for the dramatic would say.
I "guess" that also most scientist would say similar things, as you can start with a hypothesis and than by evaluating this generate some data. Once you have enough data you may want to build a theory on this and see whether future experiments support your theory. A theory without data is a bit like a fish without bones, quite slippery...and often dead.
Meganova:But fair is fair you guys did suffer over the past week so here's bit of advice to you guys: F*** you! F*** you again! F*** you again and again and again!"
arstechnica:(I'm guessing that an "asstunnel" is what you get when a European whose first language isn't English tries to say "asshole." It seemed awkward when I first read the response, but the expression has since grown on me.)
I guess it's more when a European thinks about an asshole that got "F*** you! F*** you again! F*** you again and again and again!" and by that turned into an asstunnel, but I'm just guessing.
Great, it isn't audible and Joe Sixpack doesn't know that it is even there. What better way of distributing new rootkits. Maybe MS should contact Sony and get their source code. Honestly, the technically inclined will remove it and the other have another official way of getting security wholes for their system...well thought
I do not see how you can equate a rock concert to E3. A rock concert is available to the public through ticket sales by the venue or artist. E3 was supposed to be exclusively for press and insiders with strict control of admission. No matter how you spin it, the fans were "crashing" the show.
Maybe it would have been wiser to restrict the access again or open the expo to the public for 1-2 days and continue with the smaller circle later on. Excluding your customers from a "show' -and yes it has been perceived as a show for a while now- is a bit weird, showing off a new title only to the press and been surprised by the complete lack of enthusiasm? Now, if every fan could get a ticket, what was the difference to a rock show? Why not having one day for the public or does the entertainment industry fear the judgment of their own customer?

For what does a computer need a virtual Cockpit? Pilots need a cockpit, computers don't. And I guess in 5 -10 years there is no pilot needed anymore

a) from whom are you hearing this no more secure...? b) in this very special case the mentioned Open/DD-WRT system doesn't have this security hole?

Yes, I know scaling a voltage on a Josephson junction might be difficult, but apart from those little technical problems ... ;-)

no more text needed, right?

thanks, so lets wait for the next version. Using a mobile phone for accessing the internet via UMTS is way too expensive.
or did I miss something on there website?
Judging from your user number you are new here, right? Than again, your balanced view and your careful wording suggests you are not below 16...
did you discover slashdot in the age of 40?
And they are not these audio players...because we know the source code of all of them; windows media player, flash players, etc. sure...

Cool, if you want to halt an invasion you just have to place a stop sign at a strategic point. I love robotic vehicles that obey Cal. traffic laws...
