Knowing the US, we'll probably bomb them because of some bullshit Patriot Act IP terrorist clause. Bombing, perhaps. The USA army has planned to invade the Netherlands in case a US soldier is tried in the internation court in the Hague.
This is not all research papers, but only research papers already available for free to everyone. I quote: DAREnet harvests all digital available material from the local repositories, making it searchable. But it limits the harvest to those objects that are full content available to everyone. Tollgated objects (e.g. publications at publishers who only allow access through expensive licenses) can only be found in the local repository. Let's not forget that most scientific papers are not available for free.
The 2005 BMW 760i has a 'Start' button you must press (along with a transponder you insert into a slot) to start and stop the car. So does the Lexus Gs 430 as do some Mercedes and Toyotas.
My Renault has got a card that while with you, you can open or lock the car and you can start or stop the engine by pressing the Start/Stop button. They at least put both options (start/stop) on the button.
. Evolution happens in other ways than mutations. Horizontal gene transfer from one species to another via viruses for instance.
. Your blood clotting reference is the same as the evolution of the eye and many other things. You do not know if one and only one ancient protein could not do the job albeit poorly. This gene was then helped by others and did a better job. You do not know this and your ignorance (and ours) cannot justify a supreme being interference.
They... they... put mayonnaise on their fren- freedom fries! This is heresy! The Belgian and the Dutch put mayonnaise on their fries, not the French. The latter have taste, obviously.
What Michel Rocard has done is specify that to be patentable, a software must be controlling the forces of nature. Thus simulations are out, software controlling a robotic arm is in.
Agree or not with his past politics, there is no doubt in my mind that Michel Rocard is one of those extremely rare honest politicians. As soon as I had heard that he would be the "rapporteur" for the software patent directive, I breathed a sight of relief. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Just a thought: Linking this DNA study to studies in historical linguistics could give interesting results. There must be some correlation between people's DNA and the language they use.
I believe that Pymol can display stereo models. It's a modelling package for chemistry/biology. And it's open source. There are countless non open source software in chemo/bioinformatics that use stereo views. I guess that's the reason why they call this laptop "molecule".
I saw the stats for 2004. I don't recall the exact numbers but it was something like this Movie spectators in France: 48% French movies 42% American movies
My point was that the impact of illegal copies of movies in France would hit the French cinema much harder than the American one that has, has you wrote, a public outside of France which the French cinema does not have (not a lot anyway)
Although in this I can see (see me not judging, merely observing) the trend of French trying systematically to piss off America This has nothing to do with the USA. In France people go to seem more French movies than American ones. So the French cinema industry is probably more affected by this ruling than the American one. And after all, why would a French judge give a shit about another country?
RTFA! They talk about this. Every recent research paper is on the net right now, but who pays for the servers, how do you maintain servers, how do you pay for format changes from currently PDF/HTML to format XYZ in 5 years from now, who pays for editors, and so on.
It's been 5 years since the internet bubble exploded, but there are still people who believe a free for all internet is the solution to all our problems.
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into sjphone. I have been very hesitant before installing Skype for exactly the reasons you mention. But I bow before the pressure my GF put on me (don't we all)!. Her twin sister lives in another country and the only way to call her for a reasonable amount of money (basically 0 euros) was Skype. I'll switch to something more open and standard compliant as soon as possible.
Does phonegaim work in Linux (other than Linspire), does it work on a Mac? Maybe. I'll have to compile it from the source code! Sorry, but it is too difficult for most of my friends.
Skype have based their products on a proprietary protocol. They hope to corner the market, and if they succeed in that aim, their services will not remain free. You're probably right. But name an alternative that my non-techie friends can install and works in MSWindows, Mac and Linux. When such a beast will exist, I'll be more than happy to switch.
They have probably chosen a bit of DNA that does not different much within a given species. Most of our genes vary very little from one individual to another, especially genes implicated in very basic biological mechanisms.
barcoding.si.edu From their DNA barcode page: DNA barcode sequences are very short relative to the entire genome and they can be obtained reasonably quickly and cheaply. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial region (COI) is emerging as the standard barcode region for higher animals. It is 648 nucleotide base pairs long in most groups...
Let us note however that most of our planet's biodiversity is contained in the 60% of the biomass that people don't talk much about: Bacteria. Most of them live in the soil and are difficult to study and are simply unknown. It would seem that this barcoding project does not include Prokaryota ( = Bacteria,Archaea) unfortunately.
I have read a couple of your interviews and I would like to ask you to answer to this one in plain English. Please! Could you avoid silly metaphors (try not to mention ballpark for instance) or sentences such as "So someone asks 'Hey can you guys...'". And try to explain what such a sentence means: "We really [wanted] to go dial down the emotion, dial down the rhetoric, have a more fact-oriented approach and dial up the pragmatic analysis of solutions." (see computerworld interview first sentence!) It's painful to read and hardly understandable. Thanks in advance.
Search: Bukake Google: Did you mean: bukkake MSN: Returns all results with misspelling.
Exactly. That's why I thought there was no spellcheck in MSN search, I had tried "boilogy" and google suggested "biology", MSN search just gave me sites who misspelled biology.
Pathetically replying to myself, to say that there is some spelling checker in MSN search, but it does not propose anything in some cases where google's does.

As a scientist, I do not need any God hypothesis.

If you want a lot of RAM, try the SGI Altix 3000. It's a server (not a workstation), but you can have up to 24 TB of RAM. Yes, that's 24 TERA BYTES.
Thanks. I'll have a look. Not sure how I could email you though? ;)
