Just a note: You cannot be convicted of having a monopoly... that is not against the law. And it is up to a judge to simply find that you have a monopoly that can happen during a trial and is not a big deal. What is against the law, and Microsoft has been convicted of both in the US and in Europe is that they illegally used that monopoly to hurt or prevent competitors.
While the article summary does mention "embryonic stem cells", it looks like the ones that they are actually working on are "permatogonial stem cells" which exist in adult males, and are the differentiated stem cells that eventually produce sperm. The big news here is that they convinced these cells to further differentiate into (semi) viable sperm cells outside the body.
The whole point of this research is to allow men who have viable "permatogonial stem cells" but have something wrong further along in the process to be able to have children. They would harvest these cells from the gonads, raise them in a petri dish (or something), and then impregnate the woman with them (probably artificial insemination).
In this the military has much the same problems that most organizations have: the decisions about what to purchase are often not made by people who have any hands-on experience, rather it is made by people who are getting much of their information from vendor salespeople.
Remember, it is the Generals who ultimately sign off on these large scale decisions, and not many of those come from the Engineering ranks (to get high office you usually have to serve in combat positions... generally a good idea, but might not work out for everything). And in many cases even the Generals are not the ones making the mandates, but the system decisions are made by the congressional budgeting process (think Pork Barrel).
The Academies and ROTC programs do train some IT people (and even more Engineers), but the main function of an Officer is to lead, not to do the detail work. I don't say that as a denigration, as I was in ROTC as an Engineering student.
Just a small note: most mammals are bichromats (except a large swath of primates, including us... and we are just barely trichromats). But most other land vertebrates are quadchromats. There is a nice article on this in the latest Scientific American. Note that this is in the print edition, and so the full article is not available free online.
Except that would require some security hole that was architecture based rather than API based. I have not even heard of one of those being proposed, let alone put into the wild. All of the malware I am aware of is based on an exploit of a weakness in the software running on an OS... and that is not going to help you one bit to create a cross-OS exploit, regardless of what architecture you are running it on.
Oh... and note that Office Macro-Viruses are already cross-OS and cross-architecture. But still require the same platform (think API): Microsoft Office.
There are a few reasons that people continue to insist on Windows PCs:
It is what they have at work, and are thus "familiar" with
It is what everyone around them (such as the salesmen) says is "the standard"
Other systems are not "compatible"... but they don't know what that means (sometimes this means that they can get their friends games)
It is what the TV advertisement said they should get (people wander into Best Buy looking for Dells for this reason)
It has never been about what is easier or better, or even cheaper really... Remember, the reason Windows won was that everyone already had service contracts with IBM, so DOS won (in large businesses with IBM mainframes). Then they already had contracts with Microsoft, so they won. There really is not much more too it.
Language exists to facilitate communication. The point of a language is that it's a standard. It's just like a software protocol or API. It only works if all parties adhere to the standard. When you start to ignore the standard, you introduce misunderstandings and vagaries.
You clearly do not speak "manager". Words such as "matrix", "synthesis", and "maximize opportunity" only exist to muddy conversations so that anyone can get whatever they want out of the sentence.
This has been floating around the mac lists for a few weeks now, and it really does sound like it is mostly from one person, as the description used in all of the articles is almost word-for-word the same.
You don't have to study very much, just have a good long look at your own reproductive organs. After all, as the joke goes: "God must be a civil engineer, who else but a civil engineer would put a waste water outlet through a recreational facility?".
Their agenda is not hidden. They have a daily article about "Christian Science" that is very nicely labeled. Other than that article (which can be interesting even to non-Christians, but sometimes is just annoying) the paper is a very strait-forward and well written one. For a long time it was the paper to read if you were a CIA analyst (that may still be true, I just don't know).
The poster's question is valid. He/she is asking if the JavaScript worm can actually do anything other that work within the browser, as in how can the worm "infect" the computer. The answer is that it can't. It only harvests the email addresses that are on your Yahoo addressbook, and emails itself to them, once again though Yahoo. So everything is done within the browser, and there is no compromise outside the browser's sandbox.
With a little creativity, this could be extended to grab a file off the HD, and send the data to any site it chose, but it does not sound like that is the case here.
Wouldn't they be anti-anti-christian missionaries? After all, many of the big Christian organizations were miffed about this film. I know one Catholic who already told me that she does not want to see it so that she will not think blasphemous thoughts.
Here in Philly my corner grocery store has them sitting on the check-out counter. I pointed out to the guy behind the counter that one of the films was only in French (not slated to be released here in the US for months now), he seemed to be a little put off.
So what you are saying is that what Jobs had to offer was not what they wanted anyways... os how exactly do you wind up with the idea that Jobs acted in a negative fashion at all?
Except it is not mistakes that they are clearing up. They feel that that have the "moral authority" to do these things, but think (probably rightly) that the general public would not understand why they have the right to do so despite those things going against the law. This "above the law" feeling is exactly why we have the ideal instilled into the Constitution that there should be a free press.
I find this especially bad from an administration who first came to power talking about "bringing accountability back to the White House".
When you compare our political parties to those in other countries (Israel and Austria come to my mind), you really do have to admit that neither the Republicans or the Democrats are that far off the center as a whole. There are some who are farther... but they are still pretty tame in comparison.
Oh... and unlike Italy, I don't think we have had a former porn star in out Congress/Parliment.
But you are completely forgetting that we are a Representative Democracy with regards to our federal lawmakers... it is only in the Executive Branch that we are a (more or less) Republic... The Judicial Branch... well that is a bit from both columns...
OK.. business 101: assuming that you have the $.35 correct, that is not profit, that is gross margin. Profit is what you have when you have deducted all of the costs associated. Direct expenses would be things like the bandwidth and the credit-card transaction fees. And less direct costs would include all of the servers and personnel costs involved in developing and running the store.
Sorry about the car analogy... but I guess that BMWs are not desirable because they don't own most of the market... you are confusing the word 'desire' with the word 'purchase'.

Actually, would that not be "weekly obj..."?
I believe the reference is more properly to "A Clockwork Orange". The book is by Anthony Burgess, and the film was done by Stanley Kubrick.
On the last you might want to look into PDF Equation. If you then need it in jpeg (or PNG) format, then Preview.app can help you out with that.
And a crash a week is too much. You probably have something gone wrong there.. like bad memory or a peripheral that is not happy.

There we go... now you are getting it!

No... "The Steve" seems to go in more for private jets.
Except that you can only use Windows, MacOS is excluded.

After all that, profits are probably razor thin.
