Was finishing my masters thesis, and had a Phd in molecular biology comming up. Was really tired of having piles of articles lying around, and needed some way to organize everything and search through it, so I spend quite some time researching the eBook market. In the end, I came to the conclusion that if you want a full time PDF reader for scientific articles, you had to go with one of the larger (~9") eBooks. Also, their PDF capabilities were somewhat dodgy compared to what you were used to at minimum on the computer.
But rumors were rumors, and Apple had something up its sleeve, so I waited out for the iPad announcement, and bought it right away when it was released. Can't beat the speed and in my case color since I work in a biology lab, so that pictures in articles often are in color.
I now use Papers2 from Mekentosj.com on both the Mac and iPad, and it is *awesome*. Papers2 on the iPad lets you search the PDF for content, metadata (Authors, abstracts, journal, year, etc.) but also let you search major databases directly. It then synchronizes with Papers2 on the Mac, which works basically like iTunes for your scientific articles. And you'd be surprised how effective that can be.
Check it out, it is awesome. In my lab three more people have now bought an iPad with Papers2 due to how efficiently it works, and one even switched to Mac, heh. Papers2 still have some glaring bugs, due to a ground up rewrite from Papers 1, but the devs are very responsive and helpful.
Either gamers only play with their friends or they all look like Arnold. But geeks don't have friends and they certainly doesn't look like Arnold! The mystery begins..
...On developmental biology and stem cells. My teacher is currently doing research on stem cells, and has been doing this for several years, so she is quite into the whole subject.
Anyway, we discussed this particular matter into detail, and her verdict (And ours after listening to her) was very clear: It is a waste of money.
There are much more pontential (And it is cheaper) to use somatic stem cells, or just by doing nuclear transfer from a somatic cell to a donor egg, you can get pluripotent stemcells this way.
If the rats don't feel fear, do they also lose understanding of danger? That would be a pretty bad mutation.
My first thought also. There are some situations where fear is an entirely appropriate response - lose it, and unwarranted risks may start to become a problem.
Actually fear is a different thing than being able to understand whats is dangerous and not. We know not to stand out in front of a train, but we arent scared of it. Thats two different things.
And for people who doesnt understand this, go read Dragonlance: Chronicles and take note of how Tasselhoff behaves!
This is also called a "Primer", which is what you patent.
But I dont think that'll do anywhere in court, since its something which belongs in your body anyway as "RNA-like strands" in DNA. But hey, the world is a strange place!
Im pretty sure the extinction of larger mammals in the north America, is greatly due to the human expansion. Elephants for example are pregnant 18 months, and care for their young an even longer time. It would be relatively easy for early natives to kill them.
In another perspective, I see this as a great oportunity to save the Tiger.. Magnificent animal.
In biology class, one of the things you learn is that plants have the most energy-to-size ratio (i forget the actual term). I believe that you are looking for the term 'biomass'. And a golden rule says that about 10% lives on to the nexl level in the foodchain, so for 1 ton biomass predators, there has to be 10 tons biomass graserz. So yes, an acre of land can definately support more herbivores than carnivores.
I'll bet you anything you like that at least three people will follow up this post to confirm that they're installing Gentoo on an old 486DX/33 and that they're expecting it to finish compiling and be able to start up X in just another week or two...
And then put a X800 XL 512 Mb vram in it, just because they read/.
I hope Lucas continues to screw with various Star Wars bits far into the future. Maybe redo all six episodes with some new technology and add/remove things.
He's already working on that. Ep. I-VI is going to be remade as CGI.

Phew, what a sales speech!
A Mac announcement is just around the corner, according to Macgamer.com: http://macgamer.com/news/civilization-v-interview

In other news, in a turn of events, Bill Gates states that 640k lines should be enough for everyone, and that Linux is obviously bloated.
First post!
Anyway, a 80% yield is that good or bad at this point?
Shell for converting the remote-styled controller into a traditional controller
Actually this was announced alongside the Revolution.

It's only 500kb. With all the bloat these days, maybe webpages are approaching that size, easily, if you count the size of the images.
And, It's NASA! They've been to the moon, sure they can host a small videoclip, right?

Given the fact a *fucking lot* of Open Source applications are copying ideas from Windows, there must be some clever heads at Microsoft.
:)
And given the fact that most was stolen from Apple, that really doesnt matter in this case.
I really really really hope that this is it.. MS can keep halo all they want.
We want Marathon 4, and we want it on the platform it originated.

When are we going to see Colonization 2?
This is the best attempt I've seen at making something that can 'destroy' OSX as we know it. But, even it, kind of failed. It shows that it definately isnt easy. http://freaky.staticusers.net/ugboard/viewtopic.ph p?t=10712&start=0

I think its because of the rumors that the Cell may be delayed into 2007.
Woman definately need an alpha channel that we can switch on and off!

Oh god no!! Because... That would be our galaxy!!!
