Actually the YaST code is still full of SUSE-isms, that's why it wasn't picked up as much as it should have.
Also I find that some ideas (especially in package management) are *sorely* behind. The YaST installer installs its own rpms with --nodeps by default (as apparently it uses internal dependency checking) , which is insane. Why bypassing rpm's own control of the dependencies?
Perhaps I find the whole argument odd as I'm neither from the US nor the UK. In my country (Italy) people > 15 have to keep an ID card (paper) with them. It says really few things about the individual, mainly a photo, some details like marital status (that can be left blank, according to the person's wish) and an expiration date. It originally required a fingerprint but it's no more the case.
I don't see people screaming mad about IDs in Italy. Perhaps it's also because the privacy legislation is very strict.
Can someone explain me what's really at stake here?
My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 48K (Issue 3 board) when I was 5. My father heavily "modded" it during the years though. It was my main computer till 1988 when the keyboard finally died.
I still have it on a shelf at home, though.
It's not a contamination by genes, I assume that animal proteins in the medium would influence the ability of stem cells to preserve their status. It's more likely that contamination here means proteins that "shift" stem cells to become another cell type.
The problem is not the reproduction of stem cells, but how to have them expand *without* losing their ability to differentiate into any other type of cell (called in biology "totipotency"). I'm not very updated on human stem cells, but for other organisms (mice mostly) you can already cultivate them in vitro. The biggest problem is that they're rather delicate, and they are extremely prone on differentiating into other types of cells.
I don't trust such news coming from "general" newspapers. Journalists have a tendency of twisting meanings when dealing with science.
What I'd like to see is a detailed study published on a scientific paper. Like that it would be at least worthy of consideration.

I wouldn't hold my breath yet, what I'd really like from gaim developers is a roadmap. Sometimes it's not very clear what's being developed (though for example, the rewrite of the online status handling was one of the biggest changes in gaim 2.0).

Unfortunately this (along with file transfers) has been always labeled "low priority" by gaim developers, so unless someone starts contributing patches it's unlikely we'll see that support for a while.
Like I do. What I mean is that I see FOSS (but not necessarily GPLed software, though I like the license) gives equal grounds for everyone to compete. And competition on fair grounds promotes innovation.
There's a certain number of tumors that are induced by virii in animals, but no concrete proof has been found of a tumor-induced virus in Homo sapiens (AFAIK).
I was in Genoa... at the Tebio conference, where I wanted to *work* while those good-for-nothing people just broke everything apart...
And uncommon to China? give me a break! You can get arrested for saying things against the governmet! Remember Tien An Men? Or is something that is easily forgotten?
Fascist songs? Why always Fascist? The war ended 50 years ago, remember that.
Sigh... Italy is a democracy. You can say what you think and not get arrested! Heck, people can break things and not even get punished like they should (G8, TAV...).
As I said in another post, please move to "more free" countries like China.
Yeah, and you get arrested for voicing your adverse opinion? Give a break. It is a free country, despite the stupidly one-sided views.
If you complain about Italy not being a free country, I suggest you go to Cuba or China, and try speaking against the government.
... he didn't have AIDS. He was positive for HIV (that means, anti-HIV antibodies were detected in his blood). Now, there's a difference between those two, and that's why I think the press coverage has been largely misleading.
A person can be HIV+ for more than 10 years, but AIDS occurs only later, when the immune system is actually incapable of working. It's a slow process. During this period there's still some function (declining) in the immune system, that therefore is not yet "deficient".
In short, HIV+ != AIDS.
Probably because they think they're spearheading capitalism? That's too bad though, when non-political ideas become political. Good ideas are good regardless of the source.

If they're really that useful, they should be extracted and put in a medical formulation. This perhaps will make people understand that even if cannabinoids have a positive effect, it doesn't automatically mean that smoking marijuana is.

At least they did, which is a Good Thing (TM).
Middle Ages are considered dark ages only by stereotypes. Please go to your local library and get a recent historical essay on the matter.
People can recognize their own mistakes. So could the Church.
...now I have to look for a better alternative on my work's computers. Any suggestions?

Yes, the fact that you can say this without getting in prison or worse.
OK, I should have RTFA better. It's been published on the department web site. Has anyone got a link?

AFAIK EBV (Epstein-Barr) doesn't show its tumorigenicity for real save in immunodeficient patients (such as people with AIDS).

I've been in those chat rooms three or four times, and I was surprised at the amount of nuts I found there.
There is bugzilla and a wiki.
