  1. If you don't get this, good on Antarctic Craters Reveal Asteroid Strike · · Score: 1
    Alien VS Predator.

    Humans find an Aztec-Egyptian-Mayan pyramid some miles below the surface near the Antarctic, which turns out to be the Predators' breeding ground for Aliens..

    ..one of the worst movies I've seen.

  2. Re:no Palm support on Mozilla Releases Mozilla Sunbird 0.2 · · Score: 1

    If you're just looking for a way to sync iCal files without subscribing to .Mac or messing with your own webDAV server, you can try http://www.icalx.com/, which is a free webDAV service. It works fine for me with iCal (the Apple one), but I haven't tried it with Sunbird. It should work though.. has anyone else tried it?

  3. Re:Pig-human chimeras contain cell surprise... on Scientists Claim They Cloned Humans · · Score: 1

    And I cannot believe that this was modded "interesting." DNA is not literally the "blueprint" of an organism. You don't splice 50% of our DNA and expect 50% of a human to come out. This is a common misconception of people who have never taken a basic biology class.

    Genes encode for proteins and regulate pathways. The MAJORITY of genes encode for basic biological components found across any relatively advanced animals. Even at the organ system level, pigs and humans are very similar. When they write about "hybrid cells" they refer to cell markers which implies great news for organ transplants (the shortage of heart donors is increasingly alarming). It's a shame that real biomedical advancements like this are immediately met by paranoid anti-cloning sentiment.
