I'm curious though, Isn't a cancer cell really just a normal cell that's basically gone "immortal" and reproduces indefinitely? Isn't there a chance that this vaccination could accidentally tell the immune cells to attack cells that are normal but could have a similar antigen?
Just curious.
You showed me the link yet you didn't appear to read it. Here's a quote from the Wikipedia link you provided.
Another factor that contributed to the change in Western attitudes towards the East came in the year 1009, when the Fatimid Caliph al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah ordered the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In 1039 his successor, after requiring large sums be paid for the right, permitted the Byzantine Empire to rebuild it.[10] Pilgrimages were allowed to the Holy Lands before and after the Sepulchre was rebuilt, but for a time pilgrims were captured and some of the clergy were killed[citation needed]. The Muslim conquerors eventually realized that the wealth of Jerusalem came from the pilgrims; with this realization the persecution of pilgrims stopped.[11] However, the damage was already done, and the violence of the Seljuk Turks became part of the concern that spread the passion for the Crusades.
Your only seeing what you want to see, you want to make Catholics look so bad that your taking things out context, ya I know most of the people on/. do that.
Just thought people wanted to be of reason more than the whims of their feelings.
Crusades were a response to Muslim expansion and domination at that time in history. It was far more political than religious in content. But those who spread misinformation will always point to the fact "oh my god, they were Catholic" as the reason why instead of pure political reasons.
Scouring the Internet, there's absolutely no published article in any of the valid peer reviewed sites for this. If I had mod points I would have modded you "insightful":)
Well so far there is no way to replace the entire chromosome in a cell using a vector such as a virus. To replace it the virus would have to remove the DNA already in place and put in an exact duplicate, minus any damaged parts. I doubt a virus or any other type of vector, as yet, can carry an entire chromosome into a cell.
or Stargate Galacitica, Seems that it's Stargate meets Galactica, all with an old ship that people are fighting for survival on. Personally I'll keep watching, but if it becomes more like BSG, then its only going to be a poor re-hash, as it could never out do BSG.
Why not a make a grand challenge? split them up into groups and see who can make a robotic arm that lifts a certain weight or make bio-fuel to run a small diesel motor the longest?
This way it builds fun and excitement and teaches them about science and how it can relate to everyday use, let alone the problem solving skills it will allow them to learn.
1) Focus on near term payoff's by small incremental progress. ie. New processors, cell phones.
2) Fear of liability. Ie. Due to a flying car falling from the sky killing several people.
3) less ambition. ie. a lot of the western world is rich and comfy, no need to push for more large leaps in progress.
and a few others that other/. have postulated.
KN400 was much more effective in current production than strain DL-1. This was apparent with anodes poised at -400 mV, as well as in systems run in true fuel cell mode. KN400 had current (7.6 A/m2) and power (3.9 W/m2) densities that respectively were substantially higher than those of DL1 (1.4 A/m2 and 0.5 W/m2)
Somewhat higher than nano amps, it's a good jump forward, and to think thats from something that wouldn't be used anyway.
Isn't it, "if you observe an event at the quantum level, that you effect the object your looking at"? Technically it's the light that hits an object that affects it, it's not the observation. Even if there's nothing observing a object at the quantum level it's wave function still collapses, due to photons from star light, heat, radio waves or cosmic rays etc. or near by atoms that collide with it.
IMHO Radio wouldn't be the best way to communicate more than 10 light years, as the power just to get a message above the background noise would be extremely high, after that.
Well being somewhat intimate withe scientific method (phd - physics) But honestly are you loony? I know of no researchers who seeks to falsify their tests, unless they want burn their career. I think what you were trying to say was to get "negative" results from what they are looking for, I would agree with that. Again though it wasn't what I was saying. Please actually read what I was saying.
Next time actually say something to back yourself up rather than just resort to name calling.
But only if you surmise that the big bang occurred, don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing the data, or claiming to be a "young earth" type. What I'm saying is without really witnessing the Bing Bang, it will be a theory that could never be really tested. People, ie. Scientists, tend to look for the data that best fits the theory and leave the data that doesn't.

a segment of our society that is steadfastly incurious and resistant to new ideas
You mean 90% of the human populace. Most people tend to be resistant to new ideas and/or change, as it's said, "it's in our genes"
Crusades were a response to Muslim expansion and domination at that time in history. It was far more political than religious in content. But those who spread misinformation will always point to the fact "oh my god, they were Catholic" as the reason why instead of pure political reasons.
Your kidding right? Catholics did not kill 'millions'. Where did you here that?

Interesting! this is exactly what was written in Technology Reviews Blog http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/24211/. Might want to not be so predictable.

Yes this is called 'Gene Therapy' and one of the big issues is getting a virus to place the DNA inside the chromosome in the correct spot.

What exactly do they mean by "blasted" is there a smoldering pit where the vehicle was? or a melted slag heap?

What and become a major source of global warming? Great!
Seriously, it's so easy to give ambiguous figures then they can't be held to it.
Definitely reminded me of HALO, elves? I don't know about that...No big ears.

I think the "Singularity" is more the failure of the human imagination than an actually technological change.

But this is mostly due to how they were brought up, not because of a belief in science. See Religion amongst Academic Scientists 2005-2007 study http://caliber.ucpress.net/doi/abs/10.1525/sp.2007.54.2.289
Seems that significantly fewer people see science as important http://www.livescience.com/technology/etc/090709-scientists-rock-just-not-much-before.html as it used to be.
Although many people see conflict between science and religion, it appears that science conflicts with itself more http://content.usatoday.com/communities/religion/post/2009/07/68494044/1
