In Heliconius butterflies genes have leaked from one species into another through hybridisation. Heliconius hybrids are relatively common and are a long way from the biology textbook stereotype of a sterile and deformed hybrid. These hybrids can successfully breed with either parental species or with other hybrids. However, there is natural selection against hybrids. Pure-bred Heliconius butterflies have warning colouration recognised by predators. The hybrids, equally unpalatable, have an intermediate pattern which is not recognised - the predators have not yet adapted and so the hybrids are disadvantaged.
No, you are wrong. It wasadvertised as a "sure thing" payment to the elderly, and it's been called a "retirement reserve" forever. Moreover, the law was actually designed to encourage retirement. On June 14th, 1935, Senator Pat Harrison stated:
The Finance Committee added an amendment which provides that a man will receive this annuity only if he has retired from regular employment. This was based on the belief that no person holding a regular job should retain this job after 65, receiving an annuity along with his pay check. Rather, he should retire and make it possible for others to obtain work.
It certainly doesn't cover retirement fully, but it's wrong to say that retirement wasn't part of the original intention.
Science is based on faith that the laws of nature are omnipresent and universal (they might be), because if they aren't then science fails. It is possible that the laws of nature change on a nonlinear/discontinuous function that appears to be constant on the limited timescale of human existence, but changes dramatically -or even slightly - sometime in the future.
I don't think you quite understand the scientific method. It does rely on undue faith in reason, memory, and the senses, but I'm pretty sure a good scientific model can expand to entail the conditions you describe.
Actually this shouldn't be a "new" problem. Solar flares can cause interference too, especially at high altitudes. If my mouse can cause serious problems, imagine what the Bastille Day Event would do. Obviously the planes that were in the air made it through okay, but if a mouse can cause a problem on this jet that should be a serious warning sign...
This, of course, is all in preparation for the upcoming 2032 Icarus Mission, where we hope to put the first man on the sun, and determine once and for all whether or not life exists in sunspots. A team of sunwalkers will also investigate the potential for "turning down the sun" as a possible solution to global warming.
Weird slashvertising aside, Hiroshi Matsuyama is actually a really awesome independent game developer. He refuses to sell out and move his company from Fukuoka in southern Japan to development hotspots like Kyoto or Tokyo, and he's been pretty active organizing conferences for smaller development companies. He also keeps his company pretty open to fans. For example, he just directed a movie based on the.hack//G.U. games, and his site is publishing a documentary about the process. They've been doing stuff like that since long before the whole "corporate blog" craze. He's pretty involved at all levels of his company, he's even sung in a soundtrack. He's also vocally against shortcuts like motion capture, I'm surprised that didn't come up in this interview.
Anyway, it's interesting to see him getting bigger. I actually met him in 2004, when some friends and I dropped by his office to try to get some business cards as souvenirs. Turns out he doesn't believe in those either, but he did invite us in for coffee and gave us free t-shirts.
Many of the problems we've had here with invasive species has been due to things introduced intentionally that ended up doing things that weren't anticipated. No, don't worry, we've got it all planned out this time. If the bacteria goes out of control, we have a bacteria-killing species of mushroom that can eradicate it. Once the mushrooms run amok, we'll just send over a batch of mushroom-eating beetles. We can introduce lizards to kill the beetles, semidomestic cats to kill the lizards, and brown bears to eat the cats. What about the bears, you ask? That's the beauty of it. Come the end of the winter cycle, the bears will just freeze.
The gatekeeper program is only going to have a limited number of cat images. Get some webcams, send them to a crazy cat lady and a zoo. Huzzah, problem solved.
A slightly lazier way to get past the human tagging problem, for both this and for traditional CAPTCHA, is to insert a CAPTCHA-like message explaining that if you're not on X site, then your computer is on a BOTNET. Problem solved, again.
Don't worry, they decided it was "cool" (read "lazy") to pretend as if AF isn't even happening and just put "Disconnect from desire" at the bottom of every page instead. Real creative.
One article you link to is by Debito, the other being a 404 link to Debito's website. Just so you know, Debito is a bit of an extremist, so you might want to take some salt with what he says. Also, usually there's heavy filtering done by the author for subjects the author is not very familiar with. A 403 isn't a 404. The picture was still in my cache so I didn't realize direct linking was blocked. Simply refresh and you'll be okay. It doesn't matter which way Debito leans, I was presenting both links to provide references for what I was saying. () The first was an accurate translation of a right-wing book against the Human Rights Protection Bill, citing that the current Prime Minister (a member of the LDP) is against it too, since it would "suppress freedom of expression." The second was the first article I caught on Google that mentions the applicable treaty. The idea that this is hypocrisy was my own.
Quote: "from the hey-slashdot-jp-what-does-this-mean dept." So, does Slashdot have a Slashdot.jp story on this? And if so, can I have a link? I don't think they have yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
I'm pretty sure that when I was seven I knew my address and a couple others. If you don't know you're looking for one, addresses have all the key elements of a decently strong password: numbers and letters with a capital. I'm sure in this case it would be more than secure enough. It doesn't need to be a real address, though it could be, I just think that learning it as one would probably help.
TFA doesn't mention if these will play on a standalone Blu-Ray player or what. It seems pointless unless you really want to throw away your old (new) HD-DVD drive...
In the short term, this carbon would be taken and sequestered in a variety of methods that scientists have been studying for years, either under the ocean, in old oil wells, other underground locations, or in solid carbonate form. And this can in turn be used by the Hutts to freeze smugglers who owe them money. Yesss, it's all coming together perfectly...

Not mammals, but I'm not even sure orcs are.

What about "pinkyandthebrain"?
It looks like ScuttleMonkey dropped the ball, now I'll never know what department this is from! T_T
I was blindsided at about 11pm on a Wednesday evening by a shocking and awful discovery.
Not too hard to guess what that might have been.

I know what you mean, messing with wireless power is a seriously bad idea. Tesla tried it too, and look what happened to him. He's DEAD!

They scream bloody murder about how implementing a human rights treaty they signed over a decade ago will stiffle free speech, but it's fine if they do it. Bigotry is okay, but we can't have any "illegal and harmful content."

Yeah, the Death Clock. "It's occasionally off by a few seconds, what with free will and all."
Wasn't that thing's capacity measured in petabytes? That's not too far off...
Or, better yet, is Steve Ballmer the new Green Lantern? Unfortunately, his ring only holds power over chairs...
Actually, IANAL, but in their "ideal" world I'm pretty sure the RIAA would sue you for stealing the IP on top of the physical disc, or something...
