It's an appeal to their 2004 case, in which a lower court ruled in Microsoft's favor. MS argued that Novell's allegations were subject to the deal with Caldera from '96. Calder acquired the rights to DR-DOS from that deal, then sued Microsoft, settled in 2000.
It was handed a $280m settlement from Microsoft, of which Novell got £35.5m.
Don't worry, it's also confusing to americans (at least scientists like the OP and myself). I have no idea what 1oz is. I only know 1.5oz because that's how much a shot is. I have no idea how many cups are in an ounce, or pound. It's so ass-backwards I don't even bother anymore.
I'll admit, I feel torn when I see that OpenID login. Increase my chance of giving someone access to everything? Or make it simple? In the end I compromise and simply use a variation of one password for those.
There is the problem with centralized logins: the masses don't consider the first part, and only think of the convenience.
You seem to misunderstand how it works. It doesn't sort your mail on its own. Did you even watch the little video? You can tag who/what is important and in addition to regularly sorting out spam, it will send emails with people you actively correspond with into your priority box. Just like with your spam box, you can tag other messages as important, or less-important, and they go to their respective inboxes.
I haven't had any spam get through their filters, but I have a 3 tiered email system. Gmails for personal/work (Universities have been migrating to gmail for a while now), hotmail for signups, and yahoo for throwaway signups. Hotmail has a tough time, and 2-3 a week get through. Yahoo is just a lost cause.
I had no video popup unless I clicked the "New Priority Inbox Feature" thing. I'm running chrome -unstable on Fedora 12. No problem on my desktop running the same on F13 x86_64.
I tried it out this morning when I saw that new tab. It doesn't automatically say "Hey, it seems that you apparently have a small penis, so we'll give priority to all these peen enlarger emails." It gives a little prompt at first saying, "Are these emails important, and are these less important?" and you modify it if you need to. Again, in your inbox you can select a message and promote it, or demote it.
It's actually made quite a difference to my inbox so far. I can now readily distinguish between my "read now" emails, and my "read later or ignore" emails.
#28 In Genesis 1:6-8, we are told that one of God's first creations was a firmament in the heavens. This likely refers to the creation of the luminiferous aether.
Check, and Mate.
As an aside, I love how there is a link to 'Counterexamples of the Bible' which only goes on to state: "There are no counterexample to the Bible." Fucking brilliant.
Now, iPS cells are a promise, but they are a lot more difficult to induce and work with compared to natural pluripotent cells (aka embryonic).

Yes, but they accomplish different things. Somatic (adult) stem cells are pretty much isolated to tissues/organs. They might work well at that, but getting them to do anything else that pluripotent (embryonic) stem cells can is out of reach.
About this claim that embryonic stem cell research hasn't yielded anything useful yet...
January 20th, 2009: Researchers produced massive volumes of “universal donor” type O-negative blood from human embryonic stem cells, potentially making blood donation a thing of the past.
December 5th, 2008: Harvard scientists created spinal motor neurons from hESCs, and were able to replicate the ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, process in a Petri dish.
September 8th, 2008: Neural cells derived from hESCs showed effectiveness at reducing the clinical systems of multiple sclerosis in animals.
March 15th, 2008: Scientists developed a way to convert human embryonic stem cells into dopamine-producing nerve cells, holding great promise for therapy for Parkinson’s disease.
February 21st, 2008: Scientists at Novocell, Inc. created insulin-producing islet cells from human embryonic stem cells that effectively controlled insulin levels in diabetic mice.
January 31st, 2008: Scientists coaxed hESCs into functional hepatocytes (liver cells) that may be used for treatment of liver diseases.
September 21st, 2006: Vision was improved in rats suffering from a disease similar to age-related macular degeneration with the injection of human embryonic stem cells into the retina.
July 14th, 2006: UCLA Aids Institute researchers used hESCs to create lines of mature T-cells that could fight viruses like HIV, which destroys certain types of T-cells.
October 12th, 2005: Scientists used hESCs to create cancer-killing cells.
September 24th, 2004: Scientists in Israel derived fully functional cardiomyocytes (heart cells) from human embryonic stem cells, paving the way for hESC-derived pacemakers and heart tissue repair.
Those aren't pluripotent cells. What they get from umbilical cord fluid is actually blood stem cells, which can become any type of blood cell. Embryonic stem cells can distinguish into any type of cells. Adult stem cells are limited to certain tissues. They have developed induced pluripotent cells, but they don't believe they have the same potency as true embryonic cells.
Because the researchers who work with adult lines don't want any competition. I find that really odd though, because any molecular biologist would much prefer embryonic lines to adult lines. Unless of course they have some moral/religious objection to it, but that wasn't their argument in this case.
A ridiculous amount of coding DNA is identical in humans, and any identical species you are comparing. If you use the number 7 from the license plate to find a suspect, you'll find that you have 1,300 suspects. If you look at the 2nd to last digit on the plate and see if it's a 7 or an M, then you have a smaller pool.
You've either obviously never run an alignment or you're completely talking out of your ass. Then again, you might be someone from one of these labs who doesn't know a primer from a pipette.
History has shown that in most awful situations, people don't always act like the panicky idiots in a horror movie. In cities, people would likely congregate in the upper levels of high-rise buildings, where the invasion can be held at bay with simple security doors.

Hi, I'm 1990, I'd like to sue 2011 please.
How so? Seriously, I'm interested why Imperial is better for carpentry only.
A foot, 12 inches, is easily divided by 2, 3, 4 and 6. The first three seem quite practical. At least that's what I recall hearing once before.
That might be one of the most arbitrary statements I've heard in a long time.

No problem here. Running the -unstable version too.
Then what makes you think we can read any gooder?
How much horse power does your car have? How many candella do your headlights put out? Need I go on?

Adult stem cells are sub-par replacements for embryonic stem cells.
Tell that to my lappy, which has a 7500M card. I had to use the vesa driver, because not a single ATi driver worked for it.
I said common matches, as in it matches both of the people in question, not just one.

Ahem. I beg to differ.
