I'm going to need a new printer. One that I can run my post-it-notes through. Then I can print out this new bar code thingy and stick it on my monitor.
...but do they change the handling of the car at all?
Counter-rotating flywheels (and/or orienting the flywheel axis vertically) would probably minimize the precession effects. Weight distribution and complexity are probably larger factors.
Don't just go out and get a telescope without a good book to go with it. I've been using one of David Levy's books with my kids... something similar to:
David Levy's Guide to the Night Sky
Chet Raymo's "365 Starry Nights" is another great choice.
As soon as even one or two bacteria manage to throw the phage-genes out again or, even simpler, acquire a loss-of-function mutation they'll have a huge advantage over the self-destructing ones and might eventually eliminate them. The result would be quite nasty for those who run the harvesting plant...
The selective pressure to maintain such a mutation would be in the processing stage where they add the nickel to make them self destruct. You can avoid that by not returning any waste from the processing stage back into the growth tank.
Of course, it's possible that the bacteria without the mutation may out-reproduce the ones with the mutation in the growth tank, but then you'd just start with a fresh batch of your preferred strain.

How many times have you bit into a piece of fruit only to find that you're also chomping on a sticker label?... Researchers...hope that it will be used in Florida's massive grapefruit industry.
This is huge. I can't tell you how much I hate accidentally eating the label on grapefruit.

Hitler was elected, too. Don't confuse how one gains power with how one wields it.

I'm sure it will say pi = 3.0 in there someplace.

Ninth graders? I'm sure they won't have any problems finding a heavenly body to point it at.

As a Canadian I will never understand why the US is so eager about its boarder security with Canada.
Remember USAir 1549? Canadian geese, wise guy. You won't get one past us again.

I'm not sure why anyone would want JavaScript anywhere else.
Well, there are a lot of other places someone might want it...
OK, you were right.
Just shoot the fuckers already. Pretty soon there won't be any more of them.
By them, do you mean pirates or fisherman?

...It's called "drive by wire" ...
and it's nicknamed 'die-by-wire'.

That's what you get when you skip regression testing.
Give them time. They'll get the last two working again in the next service pack.

Now I can chase those kids off my lawn.
I think they misspelled 'Die-By-Wire.'
They forgot to throw in a connection to terrorism.
I'll be able to find my hearing aid at night and I'll never have to change the battery for the rest of my life!
I'm not sure why the patent linked to in the summary is dated 5/8/2006
I love Perl, but I'll admit that after 6 months away I'm having to think a bit to get back into the all the reference/derefernce idioms.
So when the parent post explaining it all gets modded as funny... well, I hate to admit it, but that's kind of funny itself.
