my feeling, in 30 years this moment will be viewed as the tipping point, the moment in which america stopped being the siphon of the worlds best minds.

lots of sour grapes here, but have no one else to blame....
Insightful? well it is to know some people really think like that. Maybe I am feeding a troll, maybe your rant is just a part of the picture and you are more balanced in your vision, but...
Reality doesn't give a damn that I'm tired of installing overpriced compact fluorescents that give dim, ugly light.
reality is that we need a major breakthrough or we are in for an energy crisis. No, energy supply will not end. It will become FUKING expensive over time.
As the people who lost their house to a mortgage gone bad live in a car, you WILL turn off aircon when it will become too expensive. Or at least you will keep it at 23C^ and not 18^.... unless you are a RICH man....
Again your wallet doesn't care how you feel.
Dont' believe its coming? fine your guess is as good as mine...
sure in a couple of centuries it produced the industrial revolution. Mainly kicking wheeners in the butt, making them adapt and face reality to find new solutions.
I used to think that aging was a very complex set of events. Most of the people here do as well, as you can see by reading other peoples comments. I actually still do. but the graph at the end of the explanation page has me at least curious:
watch the video.
The guy is a natural and it is special and worthwhile.
for the first minutes I also had some uncomfortable feelings. But you can concede that it was a spectacular effort to hold his attitude in that situtation. never seen something like this.
moreover it grows. You are totally wrong about his trying to convince himself he had done enough.
When he talks about alice, you feel he is emotional not seeing the project complete and hoping his legacy will be good.
and at the end it is actually clear that the whole point is he knows he has not been given enough time to do "enough"
but he also knows that these were his cards and anyhow all individuals have to play theirs. He is only hoping to inspire and mentor
THis is exactly the problem. The "zero tolerance" approach to asbestos is as asinine as expelling a 3rd grade child for bringing a butterknife to school in her lunch bag because the school has a "zero tolerance" rule for weapons.
this is for the sake of example.
Right?
Please tell me you are not recalling a real event in the land of the free...
You are correct. Technology is hardly as resilient as nature, which will adapt and contain if not wipe grey goo off the planet. Just give it time:)
Obviously we hardly will be the tool of nature in this; nor will the gray goo or the "natural response" care of what could happen to us in the mean time. (read: wiped out:))
I am very skeptical of grey goo so I liked your angle and fell for it for a couple of secs. But really, should grey goo arise, only cockroaches and anything simpler have a chance to survive. Something WILL surely survive and put grey goo in an ecological balance. Intereseting, but not tranquilizer:)
I was under the impression that this is half the problem. Build replacements.
The other half is rejuvenate cells and especially their DNA. Are the two separate or do embrionic cells behave differently in the handling of telomers as I understand gametes do ?
If not this is useful to repair broken bits and pieces not to rejuvenate aging tissue. bindo

When we started this little adventure, it was the right tactic, because we believed in good faith that their hearts and minds didn't need changing. We were wrong; they're not a bunch of repressed people looking for freedom, they're a bunch of fucking tribal shitheels.
Except, it wasn't the right tactics YOU IDIOTS! (that is not to say americans, but those who actually believed in good faith). The whole world was shouting this truth in your face but you rather believed false intelligence. Before you study geography and history THEN you go around the world starting wars. NOT the other way around.
Hell I'll repeat that: WE TOLD YOU 5 years ago you would have needed to change hearts and minds to install a true democratic republic THERE. You CAN'T do that with the military alone. Actually you needed the military to get in BUT it's harder harder to do that job after the military gets there.... You didn't want to hear that. You just wanted a little revenge and some flag waving, who cares about the details. We will win the war in 3 months... Mission accomplished... (shame...)
Ok I'll say it one last time. You don't speak with god. Its a damnned delusion. Next time you "believe in good faith" get back to the church in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere and shut up.
Where I live we have a saying: "Roads to hell are paved with good faith".
You know what the sad part is ? I actually agree with most of your analysis. You really are a bunch of chauvinist fanatics so full of shit that even after this mess and a good analysis of what went wrong you still cant's believe you are NOT on a mission for god to win the World to America..... It simple: you screwed up big time because you had crooks waiting for the big military contracts and a wave of ignorant people that were excited to kick some arab ass. Bin laden has been winning all over the place. Not in iraq. America has a damaged image in the world and is now percieved as an enemy by MILLIONS of people in the arab world. You have weakened your allies in those countries. You are now percieved weak as a military who has been effectively slowed down ALOT on a very small budget. Guess cina feels itself quite free to enlarge its sphere of influence while you are stuck there. And russia is again speaking of projecting power abroad thanks to high gas and oil prices. Europe is actually more threatend now than it was 15 years ago. India went nuclear and you are so desperate to contain china that you bent/violated international treaties just to help them. Nobody in those countries would have ever believd to achieve that in 1998. Great job!
Ok go ahead and set Iraq strait. I hope the surge is the start of this positive trend etc. etc. How long will it take to clean all that other mess??
I'll repeat that You really are a bunch of chauvinist fanatics so full of shit that even after this mess and a good analysis of what went wrong you still can't believe you are NOT on a mission for god to win the World to America..... You LOST this battle! and can only hope to change strategy and win the war.

They have been trying to throw in the usability of MS Office for a while now! Thank goodness the ribbon thing is a little too hard...
No.
its clear to all that what you describe ends with a bullet through your head.
With all the "bad", this post is one of those things that remind me why I've been lurking around here for so many years.
Thanks
As an italian I can testify you are wrong.
You don't arrive late thinking you are in time.

germ cells.
AND
cancer cells.
Which is a good sign for the usefulness of telomerase for single cells.
And an obvious problem if instead you want to use it for whole organisms.
Most of the stuff we know helps cells live longer, cancer already knew. And its using it.
which makes it a little complicated to go from the lab to a pill that makes you live longer.
Vodafone charges more than that for an sms in roaming, (for some european plans.)
Besides most sms are much shorter than the limit. so 600 bits looks more that average. that would be 0.80 $
So there you have it.
Vodafone is more expensive.
so you are saying Newton deserved a Darwin Award?
200 years before actual Darwin??
that is real testament to genius.
Sheer Pure Genius, I say!

http://www.tau-rx.com/quiz/tangles.html
Squarely 100% of the people are at stage 1 by 85. 50% are at stage 3 or higher.
Keeping in mind that: "correlation is not causation", and all appropriate memes for the case:
Do you feel that this could be a fundamental path (albeit not the only necessary one) to tackle aging or its just one in a miriad of problems?

It wouldn't last enough to be painful
Or more reasonably this is in fact the proof that Cheney is not human ....

thanks ! :)

that was exactly what I wanted someone to clarify. It's not that you get birth with telomerase's use set into your mind
for all I knew telomerase was the enzyme that cut the telomers
cheers

So yes, you can be arrested for that in Florida .
There, fixed it for you....
No physicist here. But I'll try:
Light quantums: photons, have no mass. So gravity does not affect them directly....
If they "turn" its because, as relativity predicts, space gets bent...
