This is true, but the point of this is that the particular lyase being investigated is present normally, but inhibited by cancers. Hopefully, then, it won't have a large adverse effect if added to the body, or at least be better than current methods. It should of course be noted evolutionary principles apply just as equally to cancers as to the host; a mutation that favours its own proliferation will naturally be proliferated - so in the case of a cancer, a mutation such as this inhibitor will be beneficial to the tumour.
The problem with that argument tends to be the way it is either phrased or misunderstood. It is perfectly acceptable to make a negative comment on a piece of free software. For a variety of reasons, the answer that comes back seems to easily be (mis)understood as, "We don't like anyone talking bad about our baby, now piss off and do it yourself. (Noob, RTFM, etc)." Obviously, if this understanding is a natural one, and the response was similarly defensive, then it is probable that whoever made the comment did so poorly, but nonetheless, I often find it irritating when the connotation is given that F/OSS can't stand any suggestions whatsoever, for whatever reason.
Of course none have been proven. Proof is the domain of mathematics and logic, not of science. If you want to doubt all theories because they're unproven, that's fine, but the rest of us will get on with our lives and use theories for what they are - the best substitute for truth there is when a decision needs to be made. Whatever side of the line you stand on, it does no good to make false implications of meaning.
Please read what a Scientific theory actually means before you start charging off on your non-sequiturs. The Theory of Evolution, Relativity, Quantum Theory... are all "just" theories.
The website specifically specifies it will be open-sourced and come with an SDK, etc, so there will likely be little problem in getting application support, as long as you have someone willing to sit there and type everything out. Having said that, it will probably be the job of the devteam of the application with most big projects that support keyboard-shortcut changing.
Studies on the project-o-keyboards that use infrared to detect keystrokes say otherwise. The feedback you get from tapping whatever surface you're projecting onto is less than that of a traditional keyboard, and the figure I remember is 20wpm slower. Personally, I hate typing on laptop keyboards because the keys, apart from being to near to one another also have very little travel. I'm not sure whether this is the same phenomenon, or my simply being accustomed to typing on a keyboard with more give in the keys.
That's what mini-roundabouts are for. If there's not enough space for a propert roundabout, then, in England, the markings only are put on the road, generally without a raised centre. The idea is to establish right of way (you give way to traffic coming from the right, bearing in mind we drive on the left) not to direct traffic in a circular motion. If you replace the centre square of a four way junction with a circle, with the radius divided into the same number of lanes as there are at each exit/entrance, and then mark lanes leading on and off, I expect it would work alright, with a minimum of extra space required.
As someone learning to drive (in the UK), unmarked crossroads are one of my major irritations. I just sail over them; never even notice that they're there. These seem to be being marked up into mini-roundabouts or a crossroads with two give-way lines.
In which case, that part is not junk DNA - it is a gene, coding for a useful protein, which we wouldn't strip out (at least, not on purpose.)
I'd like to know whether it's possible to strip out the transposons and transposon-like sequences - if they can insert into cell-management areas, causing cancer, then if we genetically modified ourselves to not have them, or not to express them, incidence of cancer should plummet.
However, if one were to assume the gravitational pull at the center of the Earth was actually zero, there would be no reason for the matter at the center of the Earth to remain where it is
Bigellow, meet the laws of motion. A body at rest remains at rest unless acted on by a force. The gravitational pull at the earth's centre is (or pretty much) because there is (pretty much) an equal amount of force acting in every direction. That's a net force of zero. Let's not get sidetracked by common sense - we don't want to teach bad science. Won't somebody please think of the children?
Tested on FF 1.5, so not exactly ideal. However, I tested firefox replete with extensions (webdeveloper, tabmix, bugmenot, and more) plugins, and opened four tabs each time. Intensive things like tab history were enabled, and the tabs I opened were my gmail inbox, blenderwiki (running wikimidia) slashdot and a bulletin board. Each time I opened then closed firefox, a few hundred kilobytes went missing, then, after four restarts, I got about a megabyte back. I'm using debian etch.
Whatever you want to say about the lack of an EU constitution, the US constitution doesn't seem to be doing much good re habeas corpus and other things in the news recently.
In any event, I'm sure it's possible to have an interface that can create far better-looking products than those that are demonstrated. Looking at the multi-touch-interface on/. today, it seems a cool idea to incorporate those gestures into such a thing. I'm pretty sure minority report gloves would come in, somewhere, too;)
Did you have a point, because if you did, I'm having trouble finding it. An assertion that unnatural rights is a communistic idea, or that I am foreign, is not a valid counterargument.
Even without primitives, I bet you could get some pretty good stuff with way of viewing what you're doing, and using existing surfaces as moulds. Want a flat part? Take a book, secure it where you want it, then draw over the surface. I can imagine this being pretty intuitive, even more so if you can then use your futuristic goggle interface to pick up and move the drawn parts.
The assertion that you have intrinsic rights by virtue of being a human, or a christian, or whatever, is groundless, so it cannot be used to build policy. I could say, with as much basis, that I have the basic irrevocable right to murder anyone I wish. Since accepting that people can decide their own rights would lead to criminals doing as they please, it makes more sense to have a collective decision based on, for example, society.
The study they cite actually does prove the product works. It seems simple to me - caffeine is a stimulant, stimulants make your body "do more stuff," which requires more energy.
Presumably they did do this in simulation, but wanted to see whether it would work, that their simulation was correct. When making a simulation, you necessarily make simplifications. Perhaps the robots can't sense light quite as well (or better) than your simulation. Perhaps they can't produce as much force, or get in the way of each other. Perhaps chaotic influences from the environment can affect what they do.
I believe it's slightly more complex than that. First of all, in every linux install I've done, including newbie friendly distros like Ubuntu, you have the option of what bootloader to use, where to install and to not use any at all. In windows, it just steamrolls over whatever was there before. Now, you're quite right that GRUB, LILO etc have the option of steamrolling the MBR, but if you tell it not to, it doesn't. Not only that, but if you want to install one of these, you can install it elsewhere, then point to that BR from a different bootloader. Windows doesn't give you this option, at least not without manually tinkering.
Then, if you do install windows first and then linux, then there have been instances where the windows bootloader refuses to be run by the linux one. I've never experienced this, so I don't know what this problem is like in terms of severity and ease of solution, but that is not a problem with GRUB/LILO.
I strongly doubt MS do this in order to harm open source; that reeks of conspiracism. What is significantly possible is that it's due to sloppy programming.
Instead of that, how about GNOME and KDE dropping the public functions portland provides, requiring portland to be installed in order to function, and then every app can use portland. Your solution would not help particularly, except in the interim where old code needs to be compatible.
In essence, I agree, but I was under the impression that it was virtuall all scientists, and many non-scientists, who believe that our contributions to the greenhouse gasses are significant.
But compatibility can barely be cited as a reason that an OS, as an OS, is necessary. It is not something core to the OS, and, while it is a factor anyone would take into account while making the OS decision, it is not a judgement about the OS, really.

How about 50% of PC games [i]that you buy.[/i] It's pretty obvious.

OpenGL is used successfully in cross platform games like Doom, Unreal, Quake and probably others.
