  1. Re:Autism on Lack of Vaccination Sends Babies In Oregon To the Hospital · · Score: 1

    Where can I find this bear mauling vaccine?

  2. Re:My W-2 just shuddered with the Force on Solar Power Is Booming — Why Do We Want To Kill It? · · Score: 1

    Cruisers (no, not that kind, the sailboaters) Use these things a lot too. Of course they usually only have a few hundred Watts to charge up the batteries during the day; but it beats running a generator to charge the batts. I'll add that they use wind generators also.

  3. Re:Hmm on NYC Bans Mention of Dinosaurs, Dancing, Birthdays On Student Tests · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of "Known Space". In Niven's Known Space there is a period of a few hundred years where the powers that be burn books etc to "breed out" aggressiveness etc...a rather large scale head in the sand. Is this how it starts?

  4. Re:I've always wondered... on Multicellular Life Evolves In Months, In a Lab · · Score: 1

    I tried to look it up on Wiki; but wiki dead.....SOPA/PIPA is bad, bring Wikipedia back?

    This is done with C. elegans daily. Ok, not exactly; but with chemicals such as EMS and gamma irradiation(and maybe other fun ways).

  6. Re:Yes - sounds like "grant time" on Multicellular Life Evolves In Months, In a Lab · · Score: 1

    well, the clumps don't survive....-a- spore does. In dire times that spore gets wafted up and propagates somewhere else...you're thinking too localized man. Maybe they were just scooping out the centrifuge goop to see what would grow?

  7. Re:so dna mutation over generation is not enough f on Multicellular Life Evolves In Months, In a Lab · · Score: 1

    sweet, a completely different experiment using completely different organisms. You showed him! (Although it is a much better example of "evolution").

  8. Re:Black Death and HIV resistance. on Scientists Recover Black Death RNA From Exhumed Victims · · Score: 1

    you're really reaching for karma dude. This wont help with the CCR5-32 mutation at all. We already know everything about the mutation/receptor/why/Y.pestis etc.....No gene therapy for you!

  9. Re:The main discovery on Scientists Recover Black Death RNA From Exhumed Victims · · Score: 1

    oh; and the genes were rearranged. Could be important, not sure though.

  10. Re:Resistance on Scientists Recover Black Death RNA From Exhumed Victims · · Score: 1

    no shit? Biologists are cracking up while eating cheese and drinking beer to these /. comments. At least Bio people know about tech too.

    ayiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! (deleted newt scene when dad comes back from prospecting)

  12. Re:That's typical on Scientists Recover Black Death RNA From Exhumed Victims · · Score: 1

    you're kinda sorta wrong. the 1918 flu is different than today's flu in that it's mutated; but don't think it's a direct descendant. The 1918 flu it's now thought, initiated a cytokine storm in otherwise virile infectants. which led to death by immune response; and not the virus itself. Y. pestis is different in that as the article states, the hypothesis is that the rearrangement of genes is what causes it's specific "virulance". Oh, and 14th century Europe was a dirty, dirty place. This bacterium is alive and well all over the place. HTH

  13. Re:Holy Fucking Gravy Christ! on Human "Cloning" Makes Embryonic Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    It's only really easy for a couple days during a woman's cycle. Otherwise, it's really hard! haha!!! They probably copied the haploid DNA and recombined it somehow inside the egg(DRTFA), new technique to "prove" recessiveness?. voila, embryo.

  14. Re:A single fossil on Modern Humans Bred With Evolutionary Predecessors In Africa · · Score: 1

    A mutant that conquers it's environment and has increased fecundity(disregard localized suckling o' gov't teet) generally wins out. Most "white sheeters" probably think the Earth is 7k years old, so they wont even read this study anyways.

  15. and... on Fossil 'Suggests Plesiosaurs Did Not Lay Eggs' · · Score: 1

    ...the fact that they're reptiles; and not dinosaurs. IIRC the original skeleton was thought to be a dinosaur and the name stuck.

    Seven, actually.

  17. Re:Carpentry on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    In Carpentry, you don't use the feet. It's 100's of inches, 62 inches etc.... or was that a funny? ;-)

  18. Re:And... on UN Intervention Begins In Libya · · Score: 1

    To be fair, France isn't that far from Libya. Assuming 20knots/hr it could be there relatively fast.

    Every million dollar missile has been "paid for already". We need targets so we can make more missiles, which creates more jobs. (by we, I mean USA). I could be wrong though.

    "earthworms" are Annelids and elegans are Nematodes; just sayin.

    In the "old" days, programmers "half-assed" the console version not intentionally; but because they had to. PC/Mac came first. Wish/hope it would go back that way. wolf3d.exe
