More likely lack of easily available hot water. People did not wash themselves or clothes very often before the advent of in home hot water. Unwashed people smell bad.
While degraded might not be the correct term, modern 'cloning' techniques are not true, 100% perfect copies of the original. As has been pointed out previously, the 'clone' is missing the mitochondrial DNA from the original and some, if not all, of the epigenetic information.
So, cloning, at present is a bit of a misnomer. What happens in the future, is of course, unknown.
No, it was the stupid PR people and managers that insisted on launching it when every fucking engineer associated with the launch told them otherwise. If they would have waited for everything to warm up, the Challenger would likely have had a normal launch.
Likewise, had NASA management effectively killed engineering plans to deal with ice damage the Columbia disaster might well have been averted. Certainly, space flight is risky and the Shuttle overly complex and prone to breaking down, but the proximate cause of both disasters was management, not engineering.
If you are judging the success of science by the number of treatments being produced, you're doing it wrong.
Science is study of the unknown. That may lead to practical results, it may not. It may lead to practical results quickly, but often you need quite a long time to get to the point where you are manipulating things which is a precondition for a 'treatment'.
The FAA isn't 'fiddling with advertising'. They are fiddling with the definition of 'commercial'. The fact that the commerce in question is advertising is only peripheral. If the guy was delivering Girl Scout cookies, they would still be having kittens about it.
The FCC is doing the classic straight and narrow interpretation of a law when some common sense would have just had the committee that figured this one out just have a couple more donuts and call it a day.
Then there is the commercial and legal relationship between the droner and Google. That, to me, is the more interesting part of this.
Humans (and every other critter on the planet) have been dying off in droves intermittently since the dawn of creation. Local populations and entire civilizations have run out of various resources, crashed and recovered (or morphed to new civilizations and societies) since the dawn of mankind. The Neanderthals and Desmonians got wipe out. Homo Sapiens somehow managed to pull through. There is pretty good evidence (from sequencing data) that we pulled through by the skin of our teeth at least once. So disaster has been our middle name for quite some time.
The 'new' disasters probably won't be global in scope - they will happen in Africa, Bangledesh, India - all those places that we tend to ignore anyway. There will be winners and losers galore. Yes, there will be global changes, but I don't see the complete collapse of Homo Industrialis unless we go full retard and dump every nuclear weapon we have into the planet. Even then there are going to be survivors.
It won't be the world we grew up into, it rarely is.
The big problem is that there is no economic or military argument for manned space travel and only an intellectual one for robotic space exploration. Thus, the resources expended on the problem tend to be small.
We need either some way to make money (unobtainium, anyone?) or a credible military threat to bump up the research and development.

That would just be a cover up.
Iran has been doing this for years.
At least our copies work.

The past was putrid.

Look, I'm all for a pretty liberal interpretation of free speech, but some things really should be banned.
and with main talents like low to average IQ, poor impulse control and shitty judgment.
We should make them politicians, they would fit right in.
A perfect explanation for politics!

I thought you wanted it to be different from the original one?
As long as there is no 'Intel Inside' sticker, I don't really care.
Replace "Russia" with "humans" and I would agree with you.
We're all assholes.

You will be. You will be.
How does that work? He's been dead for a couple of years now.
You think Tim Cook is doing seances with him? It would explain a couple of things....
War isn't about who's right. It's about who's left.

you can keep on fucking, even after you have died!
You do realize that this only works if 'you' are a dick.
Just sayin'.

Stay away from dead people with razors.
Just a suggestion.
The drone manufacturers have only a peripheral interest. Google has more to lose (or gain). There are thousands of YouTube videos of drones.
(And what is with Slashdot these days? Are they running it on someone's cell phone?)

His fonts are bright and shiny while yours are dull and generic.
You need to buff up your presentation a bit.
Calm down there, Mr. Catastrophe.

I'm not saying it was aliens....
Shaman is pretty good, if you're into that sort of thing.
I'm pretty sure this is our cue to throw out the tinfoil hats and embrace our new singular existence.
How about if we just welcome our new magnetic mouse overlords?
