No, but if you really care that much, you should buy a venus flytrap and start your own research. Who knows, maybe you can develop a new kids toy that snaps on their fingers. Muahahha
They know the forces that cause it, just not the biology behind the forces, I believe.
The contact lense thing I didn't get at first. For those of use with good eyes, its kinda like those hollowed out half sphere toys that kids turn inside out and then they flip around causing them to pop up, if I read the corectly.
Considering the article says we may need small nanobots that go through wormholes to spawn new species.
Specs: Near atomic size Capible of long flights (unprotected from radiation) in space, and not running out of juice. Ability to replicate upon landing. "landing" at nearly the speed of light Holding enough information to self replicate, create factories, and create life. The ability to propell themselves back off planets.
Wouldn't (scientifically) we be better off shipping energy and / or matter to the other universes to get them out as close to 180 degrees out of phase (in regards to big bang / deep freeze processes[assuming they follow a cycle]) as we could? - Sign up for the developement team now!
You just made me feel incredibly old. Damn you, you insensitive clod!
eh, I was just a kid when I watched it. Plus I still don't know how to speel.
Considering how complex the car of the Future!® is going to be, with navigation systems and such, keeping the driver's eyes on the road is going to be a priority.
Unless you see the future car being driven by AI like in Minority Report.
I just realized I searched IMDB for a movie I have in my room.
Welcome to the world of Minority Report. I wonder if some luxury brands will avoid AI systems to let people choose their own way, and how accepting the general population will become to AI driving?
I know linux is pretty good from a security sence (compared to windows, at least), and I'm not surprised to find it operates on exotic setups, but is there that many programs out there that support such a setup? or ones that will actually benefit from this many processors? Or is the point of this system to develop custom business for their use? Or is it for a data server of some sort that can benefit from multiple cores answering requests?
What surprised me was what looked like river deltas. I thought Titan was way too far out for there to be water, unless its rivers of liquid gas?
Its a shame the mission was only designed for a few hours. It would have been interesting to see more or explore, but that probably would have increased costs exponentially.
RPMs are nice, but they are still a bit of a pain, and users can't interact with them as much as most wondows installers. There are some really nice installers for linux though. I liked the Kdevelop setup.
IMHO, they should focus on the things that makes windows popular: (also MHO) compatibility with nearly everything and ease of use.
My experience with linux (Fedora) although limited, has shown me it places demands on users that windows doesn't. Personally, I enjoy the challenge, but from the average users perspective, the install wizard looks much simpler than ./configure make make install
I suppose thats probably a bit more of a Linux issue than specifically Mandrakesoft. Still, they probably could optimize it to make the process somewhat simpler.
Hats off to NASA for the 2 rovers, lets hope we learn as much from this.
Scary thought, Windows Space Probe Edition.

NASA: Crap.
Your right, but arguably they differ greatly in support. Regardless, my point was that the stickers weren't wrong.
The thing that annoys me, after thinking about it for a moment, is that since both sides are equally entitled to their sides, and the sticker is technically correct, that the government decides to side with removing it.
If its technically true, and both sides have the right to their opinion, why not try to make as many people happy as possible? Its like reverse democracy (I realize the US isn't a democracy). Or possibly rule that any decision would be overstepping the court's right to tell people what to think and not rule either way.
From the gist I got from the article, it seemed that the textbook wasn't clear that it wasn't a fact, as all those parents felt the need to make the difference known.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but technically isn't evolution (up to the present time) inable to be more than a theory? To be a law, it would have to be observable (and repeatable?) which is impossible.
Furthermore, even if evolution is observed now, it doesn't prove it existed before.
I'm not sure of the legal ramnifications, but I'm not sure why they make such a big deal about it being a "theory". Most students are taught the differences between theory and law.
What upsets me isn't the inclusion or removal of "theory" literature, but that its necessary. Why not in the book just mention that its a theory, explain that it can't be observed, and leave it at that? Why start a legal flame war?
You bring up an interesting point, supposing he was just downloading them and not a seed, and supposing he had copies of the movies already, could he get in trouble for it? (ie he's too lazy to rip them so he just downloads them instead)
I think its a step in the right direction from where they are though. One of the problems with getting a broader peice of the market share is ease of use. Dumbing down linux is probably not a popular topic among geeks who don't need a gui, but those unaccustomed to Linux often get frusttrated with its complexities, from what I've seen.

This is better than sending in human troups... Until microsoft sues for infringing on its mechwarrior patent.
I'm glad I personally believe in god...

On another note, maybe this is a microsoft ploy to make windows safer? (IE less outlook users)
so long bits, hello tits.

I'll be the first to overclock mine!
Redundant. See the movie, its rather interesting technologically. I fear talking video cereal ads.
Isn't Intel sort of anti-linux too? I thought centrino had some sort of conflict with it?

Now if you could only apply that processing power to running the game(s). muhahaha I dub it the gib-o-nator!

I agree, I think scientists need to be more clear about fact, theory, and assumptions in general.

As of 12:40 am eastern, NASA's countdown stands at 4 hours and 37 minutes for Huygens' decent. Should be some interesting news tommorrow morning.

In other news, Microsoft issues critical security warnings about bugs that let hackers run 3D viruses and worms natively in windows.
