Carbon's ability to form insane polymers and structural shapes makes it extremely versatile in chemistry. I never heard anybody proclaim steel girders as over-rated.
I'm not claiming that people should only listen to singles. You listen to a single, you enjoy it, you maybe look up the rest of the artist's work.
But sometimes, I just want to listen to a single that I particularly enjoy. I don't want to have to buy the entire album. I find this especially true for myself for genres I'm not insane about. I like rap, but I don't listen to it very rigorously. I collect scattered songs (read: singles) that I enjoy, and leave the rest of the albums for the die-hard fans. When it comes to genres I really enjoy like rock, I tend to buy the whole album much more often.
Singles are what people listen to the most. Gee, the radio industry has only been onto this for....40 years?
Personally, I find myself buying few albums, lots of songs. Only if it's an artist I REALLY enjoy do I buy albums (this is all online, that is)
I've done this before, except I only washed the keys. It took a minute or so to pop all the keys off, then I just stuck those in the dishwasher and did the rest of the board by hand. Sure, it's a pain in the ass, but there's no real worries, because the keys obviously are easier to dry.
A lot of study on viruses is done using bacteria. Phages like T4 that affect bacteria are some of the best things for people to look at to learn generalities about viruses. Just because a gene is in our genotype does NOT mean the particular phenotype is expressed. If that were the case, there would be quite a few less heritable diseases, because carriers would die. Viruses can lie dormant in the genome of its host for several cell cycles, letting the cell do the work of reproducing its genome, then, when stimulated, become active and lyse the cell.
Also, from the article:
Indeed, the human genome is littered with the remnants of such human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) (ScienceNOW, 29 September 2004). So far, researchers had been unable to recover a complete, functional HERV from a human genome however; part of the reason, they assumed, was that mutations accumulated over the millennia had rendered such viruses dysfunctional.
Not to mention that we've probably evolved a slight defense to this over a few thousand years.
I think this is more targeted to people who create their own bands as personal audio collections, then just upload songs for their own personal use (usually illicit songs, that is).
On a side note, embed will almost certainly stick around, and I can't see any way to "fingerprint" anything embedded, because youtube/google/etc. videos use it. So this is really just a defensive move, if you will.
A lot can advance in even just 5 years in the new tech world. Defensive patenting, imo, is just the latest hurdle that bright and entrepreneurial minds have to clear in order to succeed. I'm not a fan, but the system's evolved around it, for better or for worse.
Yeah, I did see that on the site. The fitness room is the best spot for contiguous windows available, and 6x6 is the absolute best.
Not to mention that 6x6 works just fine for displaying text, as you guys are doing. More LEDs would just mean more money and more potential trouble spots, anyway. Good stuff all the same.
I'm definitely not a scientist either, but let me help you logically think this through.
You ask how the 3d view of the sun could be used in further research, implicitly in the pursuit of space colonization. Well, seeing as the sun is a prettybigdeal in our solar system (I mean, it's the solar system), I think all of humanity would really benefit from understanding how and why it does the things it does.
In relation to space colonization, the radiation given off by the sun (and other celestial bodies) is only one of a ridiculous multitude of environmental factors to deal with (nevermind the logistics) in any spaceflight, manned or unmanned.
Besides, it's just frickin' cool to get a better look at the sun.
It's not even large enough to play large-building tetris on, but I still think it's really cool.
OT: I have an interview with an MIT Education Counselor (EC) for early action this Monday. Between this and the recent protein gel discovery, I should have a lot to talk about with him. Neat.
Maybe for games where you're not paying for gametime online, but I find that I only really get gaming done over the weekend, and usually in long stretches as such. I'd be pretty pissed if I logged on and got this crap on me.
I'm not a WoW player, but I did play a character up to level ~11 or so, and I was BORED out of my skull. I would do a quest, and while the description might have been thorough, I wouldn't call it fun or ideal. "In order to become a master ranger, go kill 10 beetles"
That doesn't do it for me. Maybe the high-level quests are fun, but then, that's not a good system, grinding up a ladded of xp and gear, the latter being hoarded by higher levels and sold at extortionary prices just to get to the fun.
I constantly compare other MMO-style games to Guild Wars, because ANet did a great job. When you start off, you're "recruited" by Sir Tydus, and told to go train to help the Ascalon Guard repel Charr invaders.
Compare that to killing beetles. I liked WoW, although it wasn't quite my style, but there are some things that just click or don't click with players. If you like it, you like it a LOT. If not, you play something else.
Despite my opinions on WoW, I think TFA points out the good foundations for a great game.
A company based in the UAE is currently trying to take over operation of 6 ports in the US, including the port of Baltimore. Needless to say, the local radio talk shows are doubling output of useless banter to "do something" about it.
Read The Hot Zone and you'll never make such a drastically wrong statement about Ebola ever again. It's some seriously nasty shit. In fact, if you just read the excerpt about Charles Monet's infection and eventual death, it will probably set you straight.
Ebola makes liquid smoothies out of people, and the scare in Reston in 1989 shows how drastic an epidemic could be. If a strain of Ebola resembling Zaire in lethality towards humans and the airborne characteristics of Reston were to evolve, it would be a bad day for a lot of people.
How about minimalist HUDs or customizable (as mentioned above a few times) HUDs rather than getting rid of them? Look at the HUD for Prey. It doesn't take up the whole screen, but it gives all the information the player needs in a (semi)creative format. How about Jet Force Gemini (N64)? The weapons indicator is always present, showing your current weapon/ammo, and expands to show more weapons when you change weapons. The health is only present when your health increases or decreases, and fades away after that.
Wake me when the REAL innovators return to development.
Shardless worlds and connected worlds are not the same thing. The point is that Guild Wars doesn't force you to take it in the behind to get to play with your friends. Everyone can move their character around the different districts, and the international districts allow for gameplay with Korean, European, and (now) Japanese players.
Once again, yes it is instanced, but that's not the point of my comment.

Well, they DO have a tendency to overemphasize the aesthetic appeal sometimes.
There's no lysine contingency for retroviruses.
Just for pedantics, Ebola is not a retrovirus. It's a filovirus.
In fact, out of the ones you listed, only HIV is a retrovirus.
Unless you're punning.

I think you mean otherwise dead tissue
Thank you, I'll be here all week.
I thought this was going to be about a special iPod with a skin of "The Killers" Carry on.
...welcome our new rain-bearing overlords.... But apparently they've been around for a while :/

I'm fairly convinced that those don't run XP.
