I am suprised that no one has mentioned pubmed [pubmedcentral.gov] as a (or THE) relevant competitor for scholar.google.com in the biotech world. With the exception of google's more robust search input capability, they are indistinguishable. Since google scholar is still in beta, I think that TFA is a bunch of crap.
Good thing that FM radio has been used for so much good since then. 70 years later, and half the stations play the same 5 songs, over and over and over...
I think Gates needs to grow Monads and actually give us some info as to what Longhorn will do that would make it any different than a proposed XP service pack 3...
That's the way the high-power ones work... usually... They are the ones who tend to have enough $$$ to not care TOO much if they lose, and the possible payoff DEFINATELY outweights the risk.
That's the whole reason behind, like you said, taking cases on contingency.
Yea, the attorneys get a lot of the total... but they did take a lot of the risk! They get NO return on all their discovery costs if the lawsuit falls through.
Just a little devil's advocate [hmm... quite literally this time... or would it be devil's advocate's advocate?] for ya.
I agree that the iPod battery life was misrepresented by Apple... but what about cell phones? Aren't their battery lifetimes inflated MUCH more than that of the iPod? And don't they have at least as short of a lifespan?
Glad to see that M$ is taking the time to address the REAL concerns facing it. Like how to emulate the UI of better software without that whole originality concept getting in the way. Maybe it'll even be impressive enough for some of the potential end users to forget why people started switching away from IE in the first place: the security holes bigger than -[insert 'yo mama' joke here]-
worst...priorites...EVER...
EXACTLY... who cares what the ratios of base pairs are.... oh wait...
I DO!
It is important to know the G/C concentration of a DNA molecule in order to estimate the linearity of the strand. (C repeats tend to result in hairpins in the molecule)
HOWEVER... this info is nowhere near as useful as the actual sequencing... and since all C's have G's on the complimentary strand (same for A's and T's) all this 'scale' would tell you is the ratio of GCs to ATs, not which ones were on the 5'-3' side.
Two words: seed sterility. Why would the major players in the GM food plant industry want to sell a seed to a farmer once and only once? Not to mention that he could share the resulting seeds with other farmers.
Proof of that concept was published in 97 or 98, and was incorporated into BT soy by Monsanto a year or two later..

I dunno about FM's role, however.. not all RF waves are Frequency Modulated.... [like AM, for example]

Wonder if he saw that coming...

Good point...
guess I just got robo-served...

Ok... just as long as the company has no ties to SkyNet...

--Seacrest...OUT! [of the closet?]
Yes, but those USUALLY require human intervention... and don't produce progeny on the kind of scale seeds are able to...
