True. You'd basically get an organ comprised of new, fresh cells, even if they have the same genetic age as the original organ. But if you continued replacing organs in this manner, eventually short telomeres would start intruducing errors.
I did a bit more reading, and telomerase is active in stem cells, so potentially you could change cells to stem cells and then make them differentiate into normal cells again? TFA does state they can reprogram to any cell type.
Try turning in a Veyron at 406 kph and see what happens. You have to switch the car (when parked - you need the ignition key) into a special mode to get to it's top speed, and that mode includes lowering the spoiler to reduce downforce.
I was astonished watching the making-of reel for The Avengers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnQLjZSX7xM. Almost all the city scenes were shot on green screen stages, with rendered city-scapes in the background. CGI is now so well done it's almost impossible to tell what's real and what's CG.
The reviews for Gravity http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gravity_2013/ make it sound like a tour de force of technical achievement. I'm looking forward to seeing it, and the making-of should be well worth a look, too.
In my (mostly) uninformed opinion, it depends if the cells telomeres are extended, and I doubt they would be. This could conceivably be used to regrow organs, but they would have the same genetic "age" as the original cells.
So, 90% loss of power used at 10 feet. But hey, at least I don't have to get up and walk over to that wall socket to charge my cellphone. Mind you, now my wireless doesn't work for some reason, so my phone's using a lot less power with no wi-fi active. Win-win!
"Despite the fact that no one’s heard of Ossia, the Cota prototype in its current form already managed to deliver power wirelessly to devices over distances of around 10 feet, delivering around 10 percent of the total original source power to recipient devices using the same unlicensed spectrum that powers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and other wireless communication standards."
There's some great interviews with artists, engineers and producers, regarding the difference between analogue and digital.
Dave Grohl purchased the console when the studio finally closed, and he gets a bunch of great musicians who had recorded on the Neve over the years, and gets them together to record some new tracks. Paul McCartney, the Foo Fighters, Josh Homme, Trent Reznor, Stevie Nicks, to name a few.
Interestingly, the docco turns out to be more about the people involved than the Neve console.
The radio control hobby industry has gone through this in recent years. LiPo batteries were hideously expensive when they first appeared on the market. Now the market is flooded with them and prices have dropped markedly. A 3 cell 2,400 mAh battery that would have cost ~$150 a few years ago can now be purchased for ~$30
The soldiers who fought for freedom you mean? The soldiers that gave their lives to defeat an oppressive regime? I wonder what those soldiers would think of their own government spying on them? Fuck off, troll
All this talk of NZ spying on its own citizens made me wonder - is my SSL traffic intercepted via man-in-the-middle (MitM)?
Using Steve Gibson's cert hash checker https://www.grc.com/fingerprints.htm I checked a few common SSL encrypted sites to see if my traffic was being intercepted. At work it is (not by my employer- I run the network) but at home it wasn't (Slingshot's my home ISP). Google.co.nz was one of the sites that appeared to have MitM interception, whereas my online banking wasn't.
I have to keep reminding myself that HTTPS isn't secure because the CAs can't be trusted
I wonder who's doing the MitM? Our ISP, Orcon? The gubbermint? Google? The NSA? Aliens?

Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

I recommend watching the great docco Sound City. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_City_(film) It's centred around the analogue Neve console that was used at Sound City studios http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_City_Studios to record some seminal albums such as Nirvana's Nevermind, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, among others.

MoS are the K-Tel of electronica. They produce collections of generic over-produced crap remixes that no-one will remember in 6 months time.
I've always wondered why this isn't better integrated/more automatic when it comes to email systems (gmail?)
If you encrypt your email it will prevent Google from parsing the text and shovelling targeted ads at you.
Is that really when it meant in Thunderbirds? I thought it was a BS TLA for TV?

Personally, I'm switching careers from IT to pest control.
It is an easy career change. You deal with bugs in both professions.
I'm thinking of switching from IT to being a proctologist - years of dealing with assholes should give me ample cross-credits.
Get them to turn it off and on again.
We need to talk about your flair.
Choosing between not hurting feelings and/or keeping these people away, and getting the job done right isn't hard.
False dichotomy. You can get you point across without hurling chairs. It's called not being an asshole.
If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate
