The ban is just a bit broader than you imply: there is a ban on embryonic stem cell research using new stem cells at any institution that receives federal funding, e.g. universities or drug companies with NIH funding.
Were the ban merely on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, it would not be such a problem. The problem is that universities and many drug companies are prevented from doing such research even with independent funding.
Yes, Americans are fat. Yes, they are happy unless you ask them about anything specific (wife, government, job). However, Americans work longer hours than most people in industrialized countries.
I'm one of those old guys (24) who can remember back to the days of DOS gaming. Back in the mid-90s, Windows gaming had the same problem: everyone running Windows was also running DOS. A Windows user could simply reboot to DOS and play the game, and hence there was little incentive to switch to Windows. This lack of incentive was coupled with the technical difficulty of getting good graphics performance on Windows. Sound familiar?
Besides, how fast does a lappy need to be. I love my PowerBook, and I'll bet everyone that has a PowerBook will say the same thing. It is a product that is just right, it really is.
I can understand why the exclusive deal makes sense from Take 2's perspective. Can someone explain to me how MLB would make more money licensing ONE company to do games than it would licensing MANY companies to do games?
I don't think Take 2 alone could give MLB more money than, say, MS, EA, Vivendi, etc combined all doing their own licensed games.
I posted this on Slate's message boards a couple of days ago:
This article really hits home Slate's move from West coast to East coast. I can barely imagine something like this (as in East coast-centric) being written 6 years ago. Slate's just not cool anymore since Kinsley left.
Could the decline in Ivy league CEOs in the Fortune 100 reflect the Fortune 100's westward migration? After all, most of the prominent universities in the West are public. Think UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, Washington, etc, with a few prestigious non-Ivy private schools such as Stanford and Caltech. Companies everywhere tend to hire mostly local people, and few locals on the West coast went to an Ivy league school.
I imagine the tweels can be made as strong as needed by adding reinforcement. The effect of broken spokes wouldn't be that different from blowing a conventional tire or wheel.

Apparently, Carly does read slashdot . . .
potato chips have been made the same way for 100 years.
We wish.
Interesting. I'll check it out. Apparently there is a way around the ban by setting up an "independent" institute.

no no no. The main issue is that the P4 Expensive Edition costs more than an actual hot plate. This article is about cooking on the cheap!
No, the US is still superior. Take a look at the numbers from the OECD.
Defense R&D typically makes up about $40Billion, out of total US R&D of $284B.
Take a look at this from the oecd.

This is done today, albeit in a nonviolent way. It is called "parking enforcement".

When, exactly was the share price rewarding her? I look at the 5-year chart and I see no upward trend at any time.
Did anyone notice that the Register story is dated September 2003? Explains how it is talking about "May this year"
I don't think so. Task switching is very rare, occurring once every 30 million cycles or so. This will have no speed benefit.

Actually my dad's from that prior era. He'll ease right in to a command line but freaks out upon seeing a gui.

That's what we call a "very old joke".

Uh, CNN is itself a TV channel.

wrong, wrong, wrong. Rubberized asphalt uses only a modest fraction of all disposed tires.
