I too would be dubious with using one model to show global effects.
But with that said, most models all tend to show that global warming is very real, it is the speed of onset that is argued. Furthermore, most models tend to show that variations and extreme weather events will mark the changing weather.
Now with regard to the story that is being discussed, I think you are way off base. First of all, the satalite collected data. IN OTHER WORDS THE DATA WAS NOT GENERATED BY A MODEL so I do not know why you brought it up. If the story was discussing predictions by a model, I believe your coments may have had some validity. Second, the DATA clearly showed that the melting and movemment of the Ice sheet in Greenland were progressing out in many directions all over Greenland. Remeber that the Grennland ice sheets can be more than 2 miles deep. This means that what ever is causing the melting, is doing it fast and over extremely large areas. I tend to support the HYPOTHESIS that global warming is the culpret. I also believe that it is occuring faster than most models predict. THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THIS HYPOTHESIS. What hypothesis of yours does the data support. Simply casting out a hypothesis because you do not like it is not how science is done.
so what will this do to the TCO of a MS PC??
Seems enterprises with boatloads of PCs to maintain may have increased costs.
Maybe a New Apple would be a good substitute. Unles this nefarious chip is in them as well
Either the guy at Merril was on drugs or Sony is but anything over 400 would put it in the NO DAMN WAY I AM GOING TO BUY IT catagory.
above 300, I will have to see what kind of games they will have.
Then again, maybe I should get an Xbox
that a$$hole santorum does not get his wish to shut down the data feeds from the national weather service.
It is imperitive that in a democracy, that the electorate know the STUPID bills that senators try to get through in the name of sucking up to a rich donor, in this case it is a for hire weather service in pennsylvania
I agree.
On a side note, the agent in Clorox that makes it clorox is a substance called "hypochlorite" . While you are right that you would not want to inject it into your blood, it is the substance generated by non-specific immune/blood cells (namely neutrphils and macrophages) to kill invading organisms.
"True, but since this agent doesn't kill or harm crocodiles there's a decent chance it'll be safe for humans."
That is nota good bet or a safe statement. If you looked to the reference I posted on the Monitor Lizard you will see that the Kimoto dragon (specific monitor) kills by sepsis. They bite the prey and wait a few hours for the baterial growth to kill the biten animal. Furthermore, ohter dragons bit by a dragon do not get infected just mammals like us
HIV is a virus and antibiotics work on bacteria. The article makes little sense. If you look in the literature for info about the monitor lizard you will see that this is old hat for reptiles.
Two things will keep me from ever playing a game by the FF programmers.
1) Dark aons? Why did I pay for a game with all the bosses missing.
2) final straw was in FF X2. When they had me "massage" the back....... I romptly went back to the store and traded the game in for something better.
Packet* has fully functional e911.
As for vonage, they forword to the 911 call center but address nad other info the operator normally gets is not there.
Packet8 works throught the Level 3 system. Not sure why AOL does not use it? I thought AOL was using Level 3 as well
You are dead wrong. Telomerase is on in some cell types and inducible in others.
THe belief is that telomerase may also be invloved in DNA break point repair. Hence Hela cells with their ninety so od chromasomes remain stable and segregate (sometimes)
The enzyme telomerase is active in other cell types in the body (ie. testis) and is turned on occasionally in other cells (ie.hepatocytes).
Telomerase inhibitors have been used to do just this in the past and I believe the company Geron has a boat load of patents in this space.
All that is new with this work, which is very nice, is that the researchers used endogenous methods to shut down the telomerase activity. Small molecules inhibitors have already shown this
I have used various VoIP providers for the last two years. Have settled on Packet8. The quality can vary markedly from provider to provider but also from pipe to pipe. DSL is usually worse than cable. BTW, I only have VoIP in my house and use about 1200 minutes a month.
While Skype is really sort of neat, it is the worse froma quality perspective. Sounds like talking in a tin can.

They priced me out of the market. While I love the games, the games on the XBox are not bad either. 600 bucks... "Nuts"
Very well put and dead on in my opinion

These guys kill by sepsis and other lizards are unaffected by these nasty bacteria

cool, you keep your computer on 24/7 so that you can make and recieve phone calls. Wonder what the cost of electricity is?
