inherited state (Lamarck wasn't totally wrong, it seems) and life history changes to the gene expression may matter as much, or more, than the raw nuclear and mitochondrial sequence.
anyone know of a low-cost tool to capture that data?
It's a distributed processing system with interprocess (regardless of the node on which the process resides) message passing.
While some, or even all, of he process modules MAY have been written in a object-oriented language AND style, this sort of processing predates all of the OOP languages and nearly all of the literature.
If I wanted to get there quickly and scalably, I'd use the distributed systems created for weather or nuclear simulations as a starting point, since intracellular activity has no small amount chaos (for example, due to Brownian Motion, the collisions and binding of various transmitters is not directed to a specific site on a specific RNA strand, but may attach to any compatible site along its trajectory).
I thought California had a lot of aerobic encephalitis cases, but the Supreme Court should simply void all elections in Washington if they're really stupid enough to involve FaceBook in the voter registration process. There's less chance of valid registrations there than when Daley's precinct wardens would gather names at the cemeteries.
It's sooo much easier to blame "the Internet" than figure out a pricing model that makes it sufficiently convenient to use the "telephone system" (yes, I know that the telcos frequently use the Internet themselves) to make a telephone call that enough subscribers continue to do that rather than putting the (not terribly much) extra effort to set up and use Skype,...
It will have elephant mitochondrial DNA, so it will be a Mammoth/elephant hybrid.
If they want a "real" mammoth (short of finding a female with viable eggs), they're going to have to replace the mitochondria also (and, no, midichlorians won't work either, although you'd end up with a very forceful animal), and keeping the egg alive while doing that has never been done, AFAIK.
Within their own social group, maybe they're not overtly violent, but as soon as the brown monkeys sufficiently outnumber the green monkeys, the green monkeys are toast.
The whole of human history shows that whenever there's an "out" group (minority religion, skin color, language, intoxicant preference,...) or weaker group (women, or numerically/technologically inferior tribe), they will be persistently damaged by the "in", or stronger group.
"Nice" people don't wage crusades, jihads, genocides, chattel or debt slavery, rape (or other forms of less violent sexual predation), "honor killing",... and, as a result, there aren't very many "nice" people in the gene pool.
Additionally, look at how many women are drawn to bear children by "bad boys", cheating on their less-bad SOs to do it, or landing a "steady guy" after the baby arrives, which further reduces the amount of "nice" in the gene pool.
The Luddites were workers being displaced by machines.
Regarding all technological "innovation" (which may, or may not, be useful "progress") with suspicion is not Luddite behavior, just sane, healthy skepticism. Being locked into a BMW, unable to lower the windows, provide any powered ventilation, or drive the car (or Ford Explorer, as a recent tester found), is the result of larding cars with cheap electronic gizmos without being required to put them through some really stringent testing. A glitch in your car's MP3 player that only makes it skip some songs is mildly annoying; if the MP3 player happens to be in control of pretty much everything ('cause why pay for more CPUs?) and same glitch causes it to execute some exploit code embedded in the MP3 (DX8 or 9), then you've got an utterly untrustworthy vehicle that should be banned from public thoroughfares. With MS building the stacks for some of these, I wonder how many "snoop your ride (be careful what you say/do when it has an internal microphone/camera)" back doors are in those systems, not to mention (although I will) the OnStar-style snoops.
I'm tall; an older Integra hatchback (no sunroof) allows me to fit inside, but I'm so close to the inside roof that I cannot see the tops of cars close behind (nor could I in an MGBGT). His light bar is over a foot above my range of vision and he had high beams and a spotlight nearly overwhelming my vision. This wasn't a "follow me for a half mile with the light bar on", this was "pull up behind and THEN turn on the light bar, high beams and spotlight".
Every interaction with an LEO is potentially fatal for the "civilian" (and the other way 'round, except that they're all armed and not all of us are); darkness, object in hand are both starting points for "I thought he had a gun", add a different age/ethnicity and you have a dead civilian due to a typo or mis-scan.
Used to have a "hot hatchback", and a local PO mis-entered the license number into his system, just like the ALPR scan errors. The license plate/vehicle mismatch was obviously good grounds for a stop. Problem was that I couldn't see his active roof light bar above the low roof line and the locals don't have dash-mounted lights. All I could see when I parked at the grocery store was that some asshole had pulled up behind me (I'm in a diagonal slot in a shopping mall) and was shining his bright headlights in my mirror. I bounced out, carrying a black wallet; it wouldn't have been unheard-of for anyone other than an old white dude to end up dead.
I've known/worked with stellar women "geeks", gearheads, and assorted tech/mech aficionados, but none of them would have suggested doing anything like Qa2 did for the invitations.
As my other comment suggested, that kind of thing is reserved for the reception, honeymoon, even the proposal, but never the invitations.
If you HAVE TO show that it's your wedding, too (it's not, BTW, except technically), do something in the gift baskets, like custom printed USB sticks, with "Mr. and Mrs. (unless she's doing something sane with her last name) " and load them with photographs from the wedding and/or reception.
What has helped move us beyond hunter-gatherers is individuals doing a bit more of what each does better, for the benefit of the group. Even in a H-G society, some well be better at spotting edible tubers than others, as well as some spotting predators better while others have a bit more endurance to run down wounded prey.
I'll trade you bear skins for your spear points. Your children will more easily survive the winter, and your sharper/stronger-than-mine points will give me a better chance against the next bear. Better yet, I'll trade you beer for some of your grass seed.
If the production (now), design (mostly now), and basic R&D (very soon) are all done in some part of Asia, how long before the shareholders realize that they can temporarily bump the stock price even more by paying some Asians 10% of the compensation that the American executive team is getting?
I write comments when what I'm doing is "clever", or hardware-required. Otherwise, I use meaningful labels and a readable syntax (C, for example, is K&R, except that all block-opening braces are on the next line for easy "line-up", any code beyond the current line has braces; variables have meaningful, not formulaic, names).
Too many managers and "religious" programmers want forty lines of comments for a twelve-line function. They ain't getting it from me, and, so far, my peers are happy with what I do. I comment shell scripts, PHP, Perl (more than the others),... when there's a real reason, not just to fill out some silly "comments requirement". I put useful comments in svn checkins, too. Those are probably more meaningful than most of the code comments I have seen.
One instance by default is brain-dead. Lose that and they're ALL gone, if it happens between dedup and backup. You should have at least two copies, on different media, if possible, always, of any data with more than one reference, as well as backing up your data, of course.

And, of course, if they ALSO have access to life extending tech, then you're essentially saying "forever".

I'm gonna try harder, now, though.
Suggestions?

I want a "window manager" to manage windows, and not burn my CPU cycles and disk/network bandwidth running junkware.
A pox on both the Gnome (since 2) and KDE houses.
I really miss OLVWM and Sawmill/Sawfish.
No digital downloads of any content (music, videos, games, ...) ever, so I couldn't legitimately choose to "give it up" to save money, could I?

Do something simple and elegant.
Invitations: high quality stock, embossed printing. Perhaps small decorations that reflect your fiancés taste with your input on color (if she likes birds, you can pick from pastel blue, yellow, cream, ..., maybe even black if she doesn't mind). Your mother will really think "that's cool".
If you HAVE TO show that it's your wedding, too (it's not, BTW, except technically), do something in the gift baskets, like custom printed USB sticks, with "Mr. and Mrs. (unless she's doing something sane with her last name) " and load them with photographs from the wedding and/or reception.
