We're not talking about importing cream of the crop folks. No Einsteins or Von Brauns. We're talking about entry level programmers and tech flunkies.
Sure, there are good people in that pile - that really isn't the point. The issue is that the transnational corporations are trying to drive down costs (and drive up profits) irrespective of the local damage caused. They can go elsewhere, after all.
All it takes is getting a few cheap whores^Hpoliticians to do their bidding. Just the price of business.
Fuck you. This shit doesn't matter. It's a fucking bird you fucking moron. God made blue birds just like he made shitheads like you, you stupid fucking cunt.
Oh, it's not only Windows 8. In fact, they weren't even first. OS X / iOS has been trying to mate over the past several years with varying degrees of success. Unfortunately, Apple seems Hell bent on destroying the concept of the file as data and instead trying to make the app the center of the user universe. Completely opposite of the initial UNIX approach but I guess files and file systems have always been a big conceptual and practical problem for the great unwashed.
I weep for our collective loss. Not everything is a toaster.
Where was the most wanted terrorist hiding out again?
Did you see the dead picture of the most wanted terrorist? or you just believed what the government told you. They throw him into the sea LOL ! stupid people and their cunning government. Ohh FYI! USA has built the largest embassy of the world in Karachi,Pakistan. Hmmm now why would they build that on that big of a scale in a country they portray as the terrorist shelter. You think of that while US kill thousands of innocents in drone and not let it appear in the news.
BTW FEMA photographer has ample amount of media with him that can prove 9/11 was an inside job. Alas!
See kids? High Fructose Corn Syrup is bad for you!
WTF are you about? GM crops are not going to help 'feed the world'. Places that are having food shortages suffer from poor soil, lack of water, poor infrastructure and little money. GM crops don't answer any of those issues.
Kool Aid, especially in large quantities, is harmful to higher cognitive functions.
No, I have not tried to bomb the local mouse population and get back karma points by feeding them salmon. The bears would go after the salmon anyway.
My point is that feeding an organism with a blood brain barrier a building block substance is unlikely to get the chemical where and when you want it. There are hundreds of steps along the way. In addition, things like phospholipids and steroids are easily created internally and assuming the animal is reasonably well fed, giving additional precursors won't help much. This isn't simple stochiometric chemistry.
This concept of active regulation seems to trip up people in the vitamin / supplement field. Once you saturate an enzymatic reaction, you rarely can 'go faster' by adding more feedstock. If you can twiddle the regulatory system, you have a chance. You can always heat the system up, but most biologic systems have relatively narrow operating temperature ranges.

Wool?
Please turn in your Geek card at the turnstile.
It's polyester. The fabric of the future. For formal occasions (weddings, funerals, job interviews), cotton is acceptable.
Slashdot has gone so low these days.....
Most people consider the military a tad more upscale than 'a parlor trick'.
(For my next treat - a fully assembled nuclear weapon!!)
Because the big ass generator can run the dishwasher, dryer, big assed radio AND charge the iPod. The solar panels can only charge the iPod.
But yes, the military is looking into portable (in the military sense of the word) solar / battery set ups that can run a small town.
If security depends on who owns the company (rather than baked into the device and supporting equipment), then it wasn't secure in the first place.
You can't trust anybody.
No, in England, pepper spray is what you put on British food to make it taste better.
(The real weapon would be a pot pie). /// sorry, I know, another British Cooking Rant. I blame it on the PTSD. ///
Two pounds. Are you an American or something?
In America only old people use phone calls.
Splattering it across the Pacific Ocean doesn't do much to scare people.
Just threatening to put it in a container full of Tupperware would be a more credible threat than launching something at us.
Accuracy wasn't an issue for them, Speilbergo doubled their size!
Until they found the Utahraptor. Spielberg was just ahead of the paleontologists.
Oops. That's not the Vitamin D. We mislabeled the Prozac.
So Sorry.
Fuck you. This shit doesn't matter. It's a fucking bird you fucking moron. God made blue birds just like he made shitheads like you, you stupid fucking cunt.
Ugly, simple feather day again, dude?
Have a sandwich.
Why does Slashdot even accept a submission in Fahrenheit when the subject is science?
Because you can't do car analogies in SI units. It just doesn't work.

Wrong thread again, twinkie.
I know the Slashdot interface is particularly complex, but we're supposed to be the top of the heap.
Banned from 4chan again?
Sucks to be you.

No wonder I hate cauliflower. I knew it was bad for you!

There are many questions that can be answered.
In this particular case by reading The Fine Article.
Even better, TFA can point out better questions with salient answers.
Who knew?
But you are correct. It's something that could be tested.
YOU go blow up the mouses. I'll watch.

Looking at your posting history, Mr. Six Digit UID, you really shouldn't worry about the minutes lost. You've lost hours, days, nay months here.
Oh. Wait.
Get an amateur radio operator's license. Then you can converse all day to other old guys about the length of their antenna.
