Mammal red blood cells lack a nucleus. This is, in general, not true for other vertebrate animals although there are a few exceptions which I cannot think of right now
It's funny you should say that because the first thing I noticed was the dust being generated by the vehicles alongside the contraption to film it; i.e. dust being raised by the vehicles alongside creating air currents that appear to be heading towards the contraption
I find it quite interesting. Come to think of it I think that occasionally putting interesting articles in idle is a trap so that people have to read idle just in case there are glimpses of sanity or interesting stuff, otherwise it'd just be ignored completely by most.
Umm. As far as I know the maximum number of rows for Calc (openoffice) is 65536. You might be better trying to import that csv file into some kind of database
"Parity"? Can't you think for yourself? Do some Google searches. "Aussie dollar exceeding US dollar". "Australian dollar exceeding US dollar". Every single result includes the word "parity". If you used the sentence "We agonise endlessly over the fact that our dollar's about to hit parity with the US dollar" talking to me in real life I'd probably punch you in the face.
From the video that Cheerio kindly linked to, it does look pretty easy and straightforward though. But, come to think of it several years ago I was watching a glass blower in a shopping centre and that looked pretty easy as well but when I tried it at home I had to go to hospital and try and explain why I had burnt lips and a glass all over my nether regions:(
What is "reballed" as in "reballing the CPU"? I am assuming it's repackaging the CPU or something, but I'm not sure. I read the article but that didn't offer much more insight than the summary.
We have only ONE place that we know life flourishes.
NO. We have (at the moment) one planet where we know life flourishes. On this one planet though we have an incredible diversity of places where life flourishes. At every extremity where we least expect to find life we have eventually found it. There are a LOT of places and environments where life flourishes and of the places that we know of not all are particularly "suited" to "life".
Well, they fooled me at first because I've had ZoneAlarm installed for ages and trusted it. After looking through my running processes, registry, etc, and doing a virus scan I suspected something was dodgy because there was no indication of this zeus trojan. It was then I found the big list of complaints on ZoneAlarm's forums. I was a bit annoyed that they wasted my time. Until yesterday when this showed up I had no reason no to trust what ZoneAlarm was telling me. Now, I am not so sure.
Oh, and just for the record the "cold" and the "flu" (influenza) are not the same thing. One is dangerous and the other not really. People who say they're the same are probably the same same people who think immunisation is not important. Well, maybe not, but they're ignorant all the same.
Well, your statement is couched in terms of the absolute, so I'll reply in the same way. [...] My children aren't vaccinated (12 and 8 respectively), and they're slender, highly active kids - the older was swim club champion last year. Actually, I can't fatten them up - I cook nearly all their food, and they don't often leave much on the plate.
It's got more to do with healthy lives and healthy immune systems than vaccines.
Well, I'll reply in the same way also. You're wrong. You're irresponsible. And it's parents like you who endanger the lives of others. Healthy lifestyle and healthy immune systems are more important than vaccines? Yes, they're important but they don't stop the disease, although they might help you recover from the disease (if the disease is actually recoverable from). You talk about healthy immune systems -- what do you actually think that immunisation does?
This does not validate the views of the anti-vaccination brigade.
I wonder how often and loudly you'll need to repeat that in order for it to maintain its buffering effect against reality...

I have no idea what your comment means, but it's modded insightful so I have to respond. The reality is that the diseases that vaccinations prevent are far more horrible than you can imagine, probably because you've grown up in a world without them. Parents who do not vaccinate their children are irresponsible. They are blind to what these diseases do because when they grew up the diseases barely existed in countries with vaccination (if at all). By not vaccinating your children you not only risk their lives but you risk the lives of countless others. The reasoning behind the choices of not to vaccinate are largely based on pseudoscience and absurd.
[...] all these successful lawsuits will do is push researchers and pharmaceutical companies to cease development and production of vaccinations as their insurance rates etc go up..
I doubt it. The financial reward far outweighs any increase in insurance costs or payouts. A few hundred million for these companies is a drop in the ocean.
Oil isn't only used for production of energy though. Petrochemicals are used to produce way more than energy. I could list some examples but they'd fill a phone book.

Well, it depends on the traffic, obviously.

It's one of those shortened URLs that bypass the DRM of the original URL while containing the same content which is most likely illegal content.

Ok, thanks! I'm not sure if I want to try that myself

Thanks. I amend my statement. The entire of the US judicial system is idiotic.
Since when was Apple a government? (Non-government) Companies can't grab land claiming eminent domain. You're an idiot, aren't you.
I've just re-examined the footage and it's lost none of its informativeness
Personally I find the introduction to a Roger Ramjet cartoon more informative (and with better music), though

I have no idea... I don't see it either. But I'm in Australia, so maybe it's not implemented by Google Australia (www.google.com.au) yet (???)

Umm, and why are you telling me this, considering I said the same thing with (almost) less emotion?
Well, your statement is couched in terms of the absolute, so I'll reply in the same way.

If that is the case, then I apologise to the OP. I still maintain that those against immunisation/vaccination are irresponsible, though.
This does not validate the views of the anti-vaccination brigade.
