I think it's important to note that Einstein contributed to many other findings aside from relativity. Great scientists typically have their hands in many other things even though the public (or the Nobel prize committee) may recognize them primarily for a single set of findings.
Say you have 10 less peaceful more warlike states and 10 more peaceful less warlike states vying for the same resources... I wonder who wins out there...
If it's in the journal of human gene therapy, one would gather than it involves gene therapy, which has inherent risks involved (i.e., insertion of the gene in the wrong place).
Just a quick note - there is an error/typo in the description of the story. I think the period after Babel fish was intended to go at the end of the sentence.
I doubt there are that many people like you who would really not play because of DRM (i.e., many people don't even know what the big deal is). In my mind, many of these people who profess to be anti-DRM would have downloaded a hacked or cracked version of game. I could be cynical, but I can understand why the companies want to protect their games even if the method is BS.
In any case, it seems like more people would skip these two games in favor the free-to-play League of Legends, which appears to be eclipsing both in terms of no. of players. Different game type of course... but not to burst any bubbles, SC2 SCBW and Diablo 3 D2
That sounds like an excellent question for a high school literature class to write on for a 10-page essay... definitely a question that is more about the process of answering it than actually arriving at an answer...
It's more about what was given up... symbolized by the works of Shakespeare. It's something along the lines of giving up humanity for the sake of progress.
I always thought A Brave New World was the much better dystopic novel, which is a pretty depressing genre as a whole. The world portrayed in BNW was more real to me, and the writing was a lot better, in my opinion, approaching literary science fiction. For example, I really liked the use of The Tempest throughout. You could definitely make the argument that 1984 was more depressing because the writing was worse and the book was less interesting though (i.e., it was depressing to read, not just the content).
I don't know if The Magus by Fowles would exactly qualify as science fiction, but that was another book that was a great read in the same way (depressing yet very well written so that it was still enjoyable).
Then there are the more common great scifi books that are depressing because they are so good that you dont want them to end. I remember feeling this way at the end of Snow Crash.
Atheists do not all believe the question is settled (and to lump atheists in one group would be as foolish as to lump theists in one group). As an atheist, I don't believe in a god simply because I see no evidence of a god. If I found this evidence, I would reconsider. I think being agnostic is really more like believing there is equal evidence on both sides, thus making leaning one way or the other on the question of religion difficult. In the end, this might come down to semantics, but the point that I'm trying to make is that not all atheists are are as you describe them to be. It's not about fervently believing there is no god, it's that I simply see no evidence. The two sides are by no means equivalent.
In their experiment, selection is not hand choosing in the sense that you are selecting which apple to buy at the supermarket. The selections usually performed in these types of experiments are binding interactions or some form of catalysis. All of the XNAs (random pool) that bind to a target molecule or perform the desired reaction are taken to the next step of the process. This pool of "winners" is then amplified to create a new random pool for the next selection. Over many rounds of selection, you get the best binders back, and you can study their properties and so on. There is no guarantee that if you perform the selection all over again that you will end up with the same XNAs due to the randomness inherent in the pool and the selection process. "Intelligent design" (fictional characters in the sky aside) would be to start out designing the XNA to bind the target molecule from scratch. This is very difficult to do as is rational drug design in general because we don't know enough yet about molecular interactions.
My guess is Zimmerman's lawyer would argue that his client simply did not understand that statement or that it was unclear. The problem with this argument though is that Zimmerman seemed to be in control of his situation.
But the kinds of estimates he is making are what matters to game developers and the shareholders if the company is traded. They are going to lose money porting to linux if it takes a significant amount of time. You can't really blame Blizzard...
I think one worry from this type of technique would be the inclusion of murine virion DNA. For example, the likely source of XMRV was due to infection of human cells passaged through mice (that's my understanding of the cause). No one wants to accidentally create a new retrovirus...

Well, we all know the moon is not made of cheese. But what if it were made of barbeque spare ribs, would you eat it then?
There is an article in slate written by a parent of a child with Asperger's (now autism) expressing the same sentiments that the condition has nothing to do with the motivation for shooting. ( http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2012/12/17/asperger_s_and_newtown_school_shooting_autistic_does_not_mean_violent.html )
So this gives console gamers the chance to eagerly look forward to being extremely disappointed ...

Dihydrogen monoxide may be troubling, yes, but HOH is 10 times more toxic.

Oh ok. I got the impression that would be passaging the human cells through mice at some point.
