The DNA that has actually been sequenced constitutes only.2% of the complete genome; However, with new techniques they may be able to do it completely over the next few months...
I was reading about that this morning.
It would take apparently nearly 50 years to get an 88% mammoth if they could do this.
Problem is, they have not found any wolly mammoth sperm from which they could obtain the needed DNA.
It coud be done with just a racing 'coolsuit'. Plus. extra geek points if instead of a large cooler of ice, you get a small cooler with a Peltier device!

Too all those who claim they can't see it, I think we have to give alot of props to this guy for spotting it.
You'll notice if you zoom out, the surrounding areas havelower resolution. I think the high-res photo was only taken since perhaps the archeology began.
This does sound quite full of big words to impress people. However, it does stand to simple logic that a rougher surface will lead to better foot care. The way I would understand it, constantly having your feet pressured every which way is kind of like having a constant foot massage, stimulating better blood, lymph flow etc...
Hmm... Next year I have a large paper to write in a class on Issues. I could do Scientific Fraud, and submit one of these randomly Generated papers first, and then submit a real paper...
Hmmm... The whole idea of conservative release cycles doesn't seem to me to be that much better for a business.
We all know that linux is not a finished product, nor will it ever be. Things advance rapidly enough in the Linux world, that even if a release is only 1 year out of date, it sometimes feels almost stone age compared to the new, bleeding edge distros.
For many businesses, some of the late-and-breaking advances would be of considerable interest, as they deal alot of the time with security and such. And to wait through a whole development cycle for a complete update is sometimes very wearing.
Of course, I guess that is what many of them are used to if they use Windows.
Now, I am not trying to start a flamewar here, but how relevant is RedHat anymore these days?
Now, don't get me wrong, I used it for a long time, and I'm sure we all did. However, Redhat fell behind the times a few years ago, and many of us moved on to bigger and better things. ie. Fedora, Xandros, Debian, Mepis, Knoppix, etc.
So how relevant would you say Redhat is the Linux distro wars of this day and age?
I am quite aware of these issues. I read the Citizen's Centre Report... Pardon me, it's the Western Standard now...
Canada should by now be used to getting the raw deal from the US, however, at this point we don't really have a leg to stand on when we complain. The US has us at an economic advantage. Such a huge portion of canadian production in almost all sectors of industry goes to the US, if they decide to start imposing tariffs and restrictions, it would damage our economy to a point where it would take years to rebuild.
Pretty much, they way it is now, the US is our big brother. They protect us, and keep us out of getting ourselves into too much shit, but for that, they also take their little royalties.
Now, this isn't to say that there aren't any shortcoming is Canada *cough*Liberal Government*cough* however, with the state of affairs as it is, we pretty much have to just bend over and take it...
Obviously the Canadian government has an interest in this, as it is one of the leading canadian technologies; however, this seems to be quite a large step for them. They usually seem to pussyfoot around such issues, especially when dealing with the US...
If people were to live forever, we would face many problems, but one big one is overcrowding.
Obviously, if people started living forever, we would have to at the same time stop having children. Now how many parents out there would REALLY want to give up their family life?
For some interesting reading, read Isaac Asimov's "Elijah Bailey Books" and "Foundation". In the Elijah Bailey novels, he deals with extremem longetivity given to the spacers, and the same theme is dealt with in the final Foundation book.
While I have a decent grip on reality, and know that obviously you can't rely on Science Fiction to heavily for truth, it does raise some interesting Philosophical questions.
One of the reasons I stuck with a Windows PC as long as I did was because I used it for gaming. However, as you have said, PC gaming is for all intents and purposes dead.
Netcraft confirms it.
So now I've moved onto Linux full-time, and one interesting aspect of the remnents of the PC gaming market is starting to show through to me:
The best games for PC are now either written to run natively in Linux, or are slowly but ssurely being ported over. Fore example, I play America's Army, Enemy Territory, CS:Source, and, of course, BZFlag.
Plus, for linux gamers, Wine is becoming better and better at running Windows games. Sure, if you want really solid support for gaming, you would be better off to buy Cedega or WineX, however, the original Wine is really starting to come into it's own.
I am really interested in what the state of PC gaming will be as we move into the next few years. I think there is a real future ahead for gaming in the Linux environment!
FWIW, I am still holding out for a remake of the original X-wing and Tie-Fighter;^)
In Ohio, they had alot of troubles with ABS. What happened was that the state troopers got a new radio system. There was a small problem however. Whenever a trooper used a radio beside a newer Caddilac with ABS, the Caddy would start braking hard randomly as the driver was driving.
When they eventually started looking into this, it turned out that the state trooper radio was tuned to the same frequency as that used to control the Caddilac ABS, therefore causeing these problems.
Now, I don't know if anyone died from this, however, it seems to me that a new braking technology like this would be subject to alot of assorted bugs. Like an earlier poster mentioned, someone with a radar jammer could really screw you over. It seems to me that anyone with any electronic ability would be able to find someway to make your life miserable.

boy - this looks irelevant now that the spam comment is deleted...

I believe this was Farley Mowat, the Canadian author in his book "Never Cry Wolf"...

Big Ape goes home at the end of a game. Newsworthy? I think not. Here is an e-bay auction where a photo of some random guy's girlfriend is getting sold off. That may help the thread! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPa geName=ADME:B:BCA:US:11&Item=6466413005

The best thing you can do is use a tool such as Ethereal to find the IP of the system or systems causing it, and subject them to a good cleanup.
For a good toolset, check out the Auditor Security Tools LiveCD for a collection of tools you can take with you wherever you go...

That's why we have bugmenot.
Do you think a real human posted this? Or is it some kind of script-post?

I know you write this some-what tongue and cheek, but let's look at other scientific open source projects...
Wikipedia has been a great success. It can be edited by just about anyone, and AFAIK is quite accurate in content.
Now, what is to stop people from doing something similar on a wider scale?
Let us not forget 1977, when 'Xanadu' was released by Rush on the 'A Farewell to Kings' album. .... Ya... I'm Canadian.
