CCR5 is a chemokine receptor, which means that it is used by the cells to register chemical gradients in the body of certain ligands. The cells often use these gradients to know which direction they need to move in.
So? It will raise peoples metabolism? For what purpose?
Metabolism is more than just eating food. Increased metabolism could result in increased energy in the cells, used for, oh lets say athletes? It would be virtually impossible to detect using normal meassures. I can certainly see a benefit for some people.
The problem with cancercells is not killing them, we have loads of options on doing that. The problem is identifying them and killing them seperately and not affect surrounding tissue.
Im certainly not a physics-ninja, but would Hubble even being able to take pictures of Earth, at this close range? I was under the impression that it had a minimum view distance.. And that it doesnt work like a set of gigantic binoculars!
This would really destroy the summary's conspiracy theory.

I could imagine powerfull magnetes holding the bullet suspended in mid air, since this would remove most of the heating problem. It could also explain the insane energy usage.
Does an individuals DNA structure change at all through out ones life time?
I believe you are talking about the DNA sequence, and not the structure of DNA itself? The DNA sequence is relatively unchanged throughout your life. The only things that changes it, are spontaneous mutations and pathogen-induced mutations (Bacteria, but especially viruses). Most of the time, cells with lethal malfunctions in their DNA undergo self-killing, known as apoptosis. Others that behave unnormally, either due to infection, infection-induced DNA mutations or due to spontaneous DNA mutations, are usually killed of by specifik immune defence killer-cells, that can recognize cells that are different from the others. But in the end, some persist and becomes uncontrollable, like cancer-cells that divide extremly fast. Many mutations are silent though, meaning that even though the end product, the proteins, are different from 'normal', they can act as if nothing had happened.
I was wondering how they would do this.. And surprise, according to the article they are using a homozygote for the most prevalent HLA gene in the US, which means that this probably will only be for ~20% of the US population, and on top of that probably *only* in the US and not the rest of the world. But of course, it could open up for several stem-cell lines and I still see it as a great achievement.
Answering from my phone, so a short answer. -Anyway, your point 1 is flawed. You cant just trick the cell into doing cytokinesis (splitting the cell). You might have some specific meaning in mind, but basically, it has to follow i very specific, but viable process. -Fun fact one: All genes on the Y chromosome are certainly not recessive. -Fun fact two: All cells has condensed chromatin, not just 'female' cells, and it isn't localised to a specific chromosome. Some parts of chromosomes are condensed, and some aren't. This comes down to how active the chromosome areas are, ie. How much the corresponding genes are expressed. Regarding the the results you mention, I have no idea as to whether they are true or not..
I seriously can't see why people are so much against releasing any kind of info, when the cops are going after child porn abusers..
Anyone care to elaborate?
The slime is probably composed almost entirely of proteins, carbohydrates and water, and it is probably about the same that covers many bacteria. (No idea about this specific one though, but since it has developed a propulsion system based on it, I would guess it is) And the slime ususally works as a glue, so it can stick to surfaces - Which also means it holds it back. So for this propulsion system to work, it needs to deliver quite a 'splat' so to say..
But hey, just guessing - Can anyone fill more out?
Personally I think the Revolution is gonna get sooo much more media attention than the PS3. Think about it, the only thing people really wants to know about the PS3 is the price and release date at this point, nothing else.
The Revolution on the other hand is another whole matter: Price, release date, launch-games, when/what/price of older NES/SNES/GC/N64 games, what other features theres gonna be including the 'mystery-feature'.
On top of that, most are looking forward to how the new controller is gonna revolutionise gaming as we see it; Mario and Zelda is entering whole new era's IMO. And every other game that has a potent developer for that matter..
Nintendo really nailed their console this time - But oh boy, they needed it for once.
2. You can still buy the entire range of G4 laptops At Apple's financial conference last wednesday, Steve-J announced that the G4 laptops/iMac G5 is only available as long as stock lasts, which probably wont be long since Apple has a 2-4 weeks stock on both. unoffical, response in Paris to the the lack of information on battery life At the same conference, Steve-J also said that the MacBook should have comparable battery-life to the PBG4, which would mean ~5,5 hours, according to Apple tech notes.

Bling bling, hookers, and a good poker game.
On the other hand, forget the bling bling.
In fact, forget the bling bling and the poker game!

Actually we have ~80% 3G coverage from both 3 and TDC.

Actually, I thought the 2.4 million extra jobs would be RIAAs. But okay, thats almost the same as what you suggested.

At most times that is true, but that is definately not the entire fact. You can indeed have single mutations that give you a specific disease.
design legend Shigeru Miyamoto puts forth the opinion that he thinks he's nailed two-player Mario.
That's just *so* wrong!
No, we don't hate it. We just squirt on it once in a while.
In a more scary turn of events, scientists has named the new-found hole in the universe, "the Ballmer Anomoly".

I for one welcome our new monkey overlords.
I guess you voted republican, 6 years ago then?
I so expected something along the lines of "The bloodelves are now all male homosexuals!" when I read that headline..
Especially since TFA has its source at gaygamer.com... O_o
I seriously can't see why people are so much against releasing any kind of info, when the cops are going after child porn abusers.. Anyone care to elaborate?
Welcome our new greek killing, buzzing overlords!
Doesnt that sound a bit too much?

I would higly recommend "Hackers" from 1995. The movie takes place in 1988, and starts out with an 11 year old boy taking down Wall-Street! It even has a hothothothot Angelina jolie starring as _the_ hacker-chick... 8) http://imdb.com/title/tt0113243/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD 0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9aGFja2Vyc3xmdD0xfG14PTIw fGxtPTUwMHxjbz0xfGh0bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=1;ft=23;fm=1
