IIRC, the team managed to get 91% of the genome down 'pretty accurately'. That is a technological tour-de-force in and of itself but likely not enough to 'clone' somebody. Unless, perhaps, you added additional 'spacer' DNA - like from a frog.
"I'm French, how do you think I got this outrageous accent?" "What are you doing in England then?" "Mind your own business."
Sigh. How effing hard is it to understand the concept of an "air gap"? Air -- something that doesn't conduct electricity or data. Gap -- a space between two other things. Jeez.
I'm not so sure about electricity (Do NOT try this at home, kids) but I am reasonably sure that the vast majority of 'air gaps' that I come in contact with (the ones between people's ears) don't conduct data well.
The problem with Office for Mac is that, even if it's neglected and not maintained, it works better than Office for Windows. More stable, follows OS user interface guidelines better than Office for Windows (or, in fact, most Apple software). Better file compatibility between versions and systems. Faster. Less crashing.
"Vehicles that can fly" is a pretty huge incremental step from "Vehicles that can't fly". It's a big leap like that which we tend to call "innovation". Little steps aren't innovation- even though they're often even more useful. The Wright Brother innovated when they managed to put together the first working aeroplane- but it wasn't all that useful. When someone took their plane and made minor incremental improvements to speed, durability, capacity, etc. they weren't innovating, but they did create something truly valuable. When Boeing made the Jumbo Jet it wasn't an "innovation" (it's just a bigger version of what they already built)- but it was damned clever and useful.
I'd have to disagree - the amount of engineering in both construction techniques, material sciences and management that went into the 747 really were 'innovative'. IMHO, a better definition would be that an innovative idea changes the industry (or field of science or whatever). The aforementioned changes in aircraft production for the 747 where innovative (as are the processes and problems that Boeing went through with the 787).
Adding an front camera to a cell phone might be innovative in that it changes how you use the device. Adding a 10 mp back camera (to replace the 8 mp camera) certainly isn't.
An all season, outdoor weathersealed version. Probably won't happen, but it would be more useful to me than one which shorts out in a light drizzle (the ones they've been making.
Most people, and I do mean most people - read indoors when it's raining.
Hopeless edge cases like yourself are often left on their own to sink or short out.
Second of all, you know that sex is for more than reproduction, right?
Tell that to your neuroendocrine system. You do talk to your neuroendocrine system, don't you?
Whilst 'modern' humankind has managed to separate the physically and mentally enjoyable part of sex from the reproductive part, it's rather likely that our hormonal / emotional response is more geared to procreation than recreation.
Given time, this may change, but for now the AC OOP is probably correct.
It's just the same modius operandi that Bill Gates has used, that Andrew Carnegie and other "robber barons" have used for centuries - make shitloads of money by various immoral / unethical / illegal means and then use 'philanthropy' to gain admission to heaven or at least public acceptance of their previous behaviors. This isn't new, it's not helpful to the world at large and society would be better off if it prevented the immoral / unethical and / or illegal behaviors in the first place.
You confusing a couple of things. Vaccines do outdate quickly, but except for influenza, the formulation is pretty stable.
The big problem with vaccine production is that bulk production is a cast iron bitch. It's difficult and expensive. And because most of the buyers are large, bulk purchasers, few pay 'retail'. Then there are the lawsuits....
The point of 'universal' vaccination for hep B is that it's hard to determine who will be at risk when they grow up (at least these days). Adolescents are also at some risk given their tendency towards risky behavior. They hardly ever get preventative care. Thus, you immunize everybody and you catch that small number that 'really need' the vaccine.
Also, hep B is endemic in some populations, even in the US and this gets around what amounts to racial profiling.
That said, I'm not really happy that the American Academy of Pediatrics has jumped on the immunize-everything mantra. I think it's a policy that causes a lot of ill will and gets a group of people (a fairly large group in this case) to forgo everything.
Wow, you've never been around designers, have you? It takes thousands of hours and much money to develop stuff like that.
You simply don't realize the cash, angst and determination needed to spend your life in a Starbucks. And remember, MacBook Pros aren't cheap these days. Besides, they just bumped the price on Prilosec.
Care to enlighten us by naming, say, ten alternatives to having stuff on tables & shelves?
Walmart - you aren't looking at the products, you're looking at the people. Target - Red. It's so red. Best Buy - glass cases with no one around to help you. An old Sears - dingy florescent lights, old linoleum, socks. Baskin Robbins Ice Cream - Ice Cream! A car parts store - the smell of long chain monomers and old oil. Dunkin Donuts - Cops and Donuts. A Sony Store - dark, brooding, empty. Think a museum of small, scary things. AT&T Store - Bright Orange! Thousands of different gizmos on shelves, racks, the floor and stapled to the door. Employees cowering in the corner, trying to run away from angry, hyperventilating customers. (OK, I made that up, the orange isn't all that bright.)

Na, would never work.

Weird.
The most abused word in business has to be the word "invest".
In politics too. "Your party spends. My party invests." Win a prize if you can spot the difference.
Older than politics. Much older.
"Jesus Saves, Moses Invests".

Will somebody please find stewbacca's power connector and unplug it for him?
He needs a bit of a break.

Maybe the medicaldaily reporter has Klienfelter's Syndrome (XXY).
Don't get so technical.....
Never eat a place called Mom's.
Never play poker with a man named Doc.
Never sleep with a woman with a woman who has more problems than you do.
That, along with a roll of duct tape, some WD-40, a screwdriver and a hammer will get you pretty far in this world.

You forgot the 'boom' part of it in the middle.
All they have to do is pull them out of cryogenic suspension and put them to work on hypersonic technology.
If they can do that, then they have the funding issue solved, for sure.
It's almost like the conditions at mach 3 and mach 6 are pretty different or something.
Yeah, 3 and 6 are pretty close. Small numbers. No big deal.
Sheesh. Everything is so hard. I hear that all day.....
In the small odds my kindle is still running when I die, I'd be happy to leave it to a grandkid.
Who will likely use it as a tea cozy.
This is America, chukco. We know what "Room and Board" is - that's what happens when they lock you up at Gitmo.
Really, please try and keep up.
Probably runs some sort of Linux variant and as such, doesn't have a Windows tax.
At two miles per hour it will take a couple of weeks before the robber manages to drive through the store.

i seem to remember Sony stores opening long before apple stores...
But no one ever went into them, so it doesn't count.

PS> Love the Galaxy S III cake in one of the photos. Can't ever remember seeing that in an Apple store.
The cake is a lie.
