It probably affects other mammals, but is not going to affect random fish or other aquatic life.
Incorrect. Caffeine is a classic mutagen. Effects DNA based life from archea on up. Not sure about politicians. I think you have to use alcohol on them.
Just to be completely pedantic (and to emphasize that we're not as all knowing on biochem as we ofttimes pretend to be), pregnant women can spill glucose without having elevated serum levels. Don't recall the mechanism.
But that depends on having a backbone that isn't saturated. Given the not-so-stellar penetration of fiber everywhere (along with DSLAMs and the other expensive bits of wired Internet service) that technique doesn't always work.
When "African-American Youth*" in Paris burn cars, cars with certain religious stickers didn't get burnt. Past history of US election violence overwhelmingly perpetrated by Democrats. e.g. OWS, KKK, DNC '68, etc.
* "politically correct" term a US national news reporter used to refer to dark skinned residents out burning cars. While of African decent, many had never been to Africa and virtually none were American. Many of these "youth" were over 20 years of age.
Did you just fail your history exam AND the Turing test?
But why? If human kind managed to get most of the way to today without McDonald's 'burgers', could we not go back to fruits and grains and the occasional wooly mammoth of our ancestors?
We know a lot about nutrition - we don't need animal protein to survive. Although, personally, life without an Egg McMuffin may well not be worth it.
How do define being 'dead'? Cessation of cardiac / pulmonary activity for some time? Perhaps you were trying to get there, but we know the brain doesn't 'die' immediately. You may have suffered some permanent damage (as evidence by your hanging out here on Slashdot) but you managed to get at least some of your brain functioning again.
Maybe the angels, lights and funny guy with the beard show up later.
p>Boeing has performed how many launches? Historically, when have they ever made ANYTHING for a low cost?
This little gizmo comes to mind. Further, Boeing is part of the United Launch Alliance which launches most of the commercial satellites in the US. Low cost isn't one of Boeing's strengths but the difference between 460 and 440 million is really not that significant.
Make no mistake, tossing Boeing into this mix is pure politics. But of all the companies involved, they have the most depth and breadth of space operations. By far.
Careful with that line of argument. Yes, the Chinese have gone very slow. Yes, the Chinese have used Russian components for much of their current hardware.
But spaceflight isn't just building rockets and lighting them off. It's a complex human endevour that takes many, many people and many years to get everything in line. Just as Elon Musk has managed to pull off much the same feats and now has a crew of people that can start making real progress, the Chinese have slowly, carefully built up their infrastructure. They now have engineers that have seen space launches from start to finish. They now have material sciences people that know what they really need to know to build spacecraft. They apparently have built up real political support for the program by not turning people into funeral pyres.
It will take another 10 years or so for the Chinese program to really spread it's wings but they will get there....
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe his psychiatrist.
Better yet, a tray of 'organic' brownies.
C-Span for the win!
Without chemicals, life would not be possible.
Priorities, man. Priorities.
Affect, Effect, God damn and blast Slashcode for not having an edit function.
Even Edlin had an edit function.
COME ON GUYS!

Coffee should ONLY be brewed in clean, ceramic crucibles.
Anything else will dissolve in the face of properly brewed coffee.
That's where you get all the bitter stuff, bits of spoon, filter, carafe....

Yes, the detail on the parachute is absolutely amazing. In fact, the whole thing is amazing.
(Looks up furtively, tightens tin foil hat, scrunches down.)
That describes 99% of reporting on the financial markets.
I think "that's not even wrong" does a better job.
No, just anywhere where you can just ignore physics.
So, who pays to put the tower up for this nicely shared resource? The government?
Who pays for the bandwidth from the tower to the Internet proper?
The frequency isn't the only bit of infrastructure here.
But that depends on having a backbone that isn't saturated. Given the not-so-stellar penetration of fiber everywhere (along with DSLAMs and the other expensive bits of wired Internet service) that technique doesn't always work.
Fine. What about the billions and billions of people who would know a NAS if it came up and them? You know, like the rest of the world.
Expand your horizons! Many business and social opportunities exist out there.
every famous person in history has had lots of people working for him/her. Lots of da vinci's and Michelangelo's work was done by their students
Ahh, that's my problem. I do my own work!

They're already hyping the danger part with the little graphic that says "Earth 15, Mars 24".
K'Breel and the council will be pleased!
You must be Icelandic!
Not all all. Just because Medieval peasants did not have access to a balanced vegetarian diet, doesn't mean that Homo industrius can't do that.
Although "Mosquito McMuffin" does have a certain ring to it....

Describing Einstein as the Lady Gaga of Science is probably why the article is now 403 forbidden.
Dunno.
Bad hair - check
Bushy eyebrows - check
Toneless whistling - check
Incomprehensible 'lyrics' - check
You have to admit, there are certain similarities.
I would not be surprised to learn that Lady Gaga smokes a pipe.

Will all of you in this thread please go back to 4Chan?
Some of us are trying to relax.
