The next valley over is the Central Valley. I shit you not , I live in the Bay Area and if my wife would let me, I would drive us all the way up near Redding along 101 and then back down along the Sierras to get Yosemite without having to drive through the Central Valley (ok I shit you a little but trust me it does suck). That's California they conveniently don't mention in the brochures.
You forgot the Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton. Yeah there isn't a whole lot to see, but it's one of the places that provided some of the initial tests supporting Einstein's theories. Plus, there is no better view of the entire Bay Area. Yeah you could go to Mt. Tamalpais, or Mt. Diablo and see the north bay and east bay (and if your lucky at Mt. Diablo you can see into Nevada!), but at the Lick you can see the ENTIRE Bay Area. It's also an awesome drive.
Indeed, I was once fortunate enough to have dinner with E. O. Wilson and I was trying to talk to him about how I can advance sociobiology in my own discipline linguistics and he basically said "pshhh sociobiology, that Rguments pretty much over". So I think for him it's over for the people that matter most to him. However, the social sciences are a ways from accepting it even in the watered down form also known as "evolutionary psychology".
Maybe Robert Johnson really did sell his soul to the Devil.
The apocryphal part of that legend isn't that Robert Johnson sold his soul, it's that he sold his soul to the devil. He actually sold it to a nerdy little dweeb with blue hair for $5. After that he had a hard time going through automatic doors.
Actually, what has been shown is that the more power and education women have in a society, the fewer children. It seems that when given the choice, women only really want to have on average about 2 kids. If we are concerned about population growth then we should be working towards making women everywhere free and educated.
"Monocultures" increase risk. Even if this program is wildly successful, and they create a huge supply of "perfect" Tuna - they will be a single species, and their success will be a risk - a single other species or virus could wipe them out.
Yes monocultures are a risk, when you're entire food supply depends on them. I have a feeling that you read the Omnivore's Dilemma and took from it what you wanted to hear rather than reading what Michael Pollan actually said. It wouldn't be the first time someone did that. I've run in to it quite a bit actually. The biggest danger that monoculture presents is when you apply it to the particular link that corn plays in the industrial food chain. If a new disease came around that affected corn, it would affect ALL the corn in the system. That would then affect the cattle, the chicken, the sweeteners we use for EVERYTHING, etc... I seriously doubt that frankentuna there would be the keystone of some new industrial agricultural food chain.
Yes, modifying living creatures can be dangerous. But all of your arguments are just the modern eco-ludite platitudes that don't really have any content. The metaphors that you use to portray the environment really speaks volumes about where you get your information. I suggest you stop reading Mother Jones and pick up a text book on ecology and genetics.
Does anyone even know if the opera server will support server side scripting of any sort? Without some sort of server side script support it would pretty much be useless for me to even build a proof of concept on. Especially not when I can easily install apache, mysql and php on my macbook.
Does the world need another Linux distribution? The folks at Ubuntu thought so, and they've made an indelible mark on Linux. Just like Yahoo! is doing with Hadoop.
But by definition the "perfect algorithm" is perfect. Therefore it could karate chop spammers balls before they began to type "window.location('canadianpharmacymilfwhores.com')".
Oh most definitely! I bought my DS for my commute only to find that most of the games are cheesy little kids games that don't even take full advantage of the DS's graphics capability. Now I just leave it at home with my kids and chat with the regulars on my shuttle.
Yes, but can you simply type "what county borders Contra Costa County, CA to the south?"?* I think this kind of functionality is what they are striving for.
*Yes I know my punctuation's off, this is what makes the most sense to me damn it!
I don't know what the 20th century has to do with it, I couldn't tell you my current latitude and longitude back in 1999. However, I could tell you that I'm currently in San Ramon, California, which is just east of Castro Valley and south of Danville. This would probably be a hell of a lot more meaningful to you. Even if you didn't know any of the places I just told you about, you could easily look them up.
Personally, I think it would be really useful for me to enter the search terms "town north-east of San Jose, CA" and be taken to a map that shows Milpitas, CA on it.
So, this is interesting and all, but I have NOTHING to say about it (except this). If the article were about something new with the API's that Yahoo offers that would be something to talk about.
Unfortunately, that would decrease the pace of production 20% and that's a huge sacrifice when you're trying to keep up with the Goliath that we're competing with. If said Goliath and the entity I work for made a formal agreement to cut back 20% at the same time then it might happen.
Slashdot Mirror
Dude, While My Guitar Gently Weeps was recorded with George Harrison's Les Paul.
I don't think I've seen Slash play anything but a Les Paul.

Somehow "the Fudruckers at the End of the Universe" just doesn't ring right too me....

It's Barbara Streisand's Nose's Lair
There, doubly fixed.
Thank God!!!!! At last someone in the universe remembers that Melllvar is spelled with 3 L's!!!!

It depends on what scale you're looking at. Neutral Theory says that MOST mutations are neither beneficial nor harmful.

You should be modded up. This is an important point that many many people need to understand.
THANK YOU!!!! I have found YDN enormously useful.
It's also worth noting that Yahoo has made major contributions to PHP as Rasmus is a Yahoo himself.

You might not be able to dance, but I'm sure you can at least parrot it.

Because you've never played with BOSS or YQL.

I'm currently maintaining my OWN Perl code and man is it ever a mess! They should fire the guy who wrote this crap!! Oh, wait....
