It's a running joke in Russian social networks about special feelings that Putin and Medvedev have towards nanotechnology and all things nano-, punchline being of course that it's yet another way to embezzle state budget.
"two- and even three-dimensional macroscopic structures" = different types of uniform glass-like structures with different pattern of near-order.

Question: "while they do that to some extent it's rarely very reliable or significant". How does this compare with more ordinary self-assembly of crystals from low-molecular weight units (like NaCl, etc)?
Also, protein crystallographers were making crystals from quite large proteins since 1959, how do sizes compare? (I truly don't have any shame, may be I will read it myself after sending this)

Pirating content is like watching a street artist from the back row: you are not taking anybody's space, because the people that can see from that distance and above the heads of people in the front row have enough room at the same distance.
You see no value in the street performance, it's more of a catchy distraction from the real purpose of your passing through the market square or town court. Standing is inconvenient, your old meniscus soccer injury is killing your knees, you are in the crowd and you don't like to be crowded.
You would not even think of attending this street performance if it would be under an improptu tent and a burly bouncer would take the money from people coming.
That's what modern entertainment content EXACTLY is, minus obscene amount of money revolving it.
The only people who give power to MAFIAA are users, and the only people who can take power from them are users.
Start with pirating, get tired of the idiocy of the content, realize that rare "exceptions" that you think are good, are just more thoroughly masqueraded bullshit, lift your ass from your lazyboy recliner and finally replace this content with more fulfilling entertainment: friends, creativity, etc.
For a very small minority. For majority, it's about taking something at zero cost to everybody: taking that does not take away, because it would never be taken for a paid value.
If I am streaming something, the only people who suffer are folks who are running their little shady streaming website, because I am using ABP and NS.
That's a good quote. Ultimate proof that science works is technology that uses more and more real science. But there is also science that is not science. And the article could be reaction at the prevalence of useless pseudoscience, mathematical models of untestable non-phenomena, etc.
Anyway, the question to who knows: is the data available to users now? Why don't they make it available? MAFIAA does not gain anything by not allowing current users to download their own material. Unless there is a technical issue of nobody's giving rat's ass about users of megaupload.
That will become a central point to the whole system, making it also an Achilles heel.
Centralization of the Internet (like centralization of anything else) is both a positive and negative quality: positive, because it allows a fast access to any relevant resource by many quickly and negative, because it makes the functionality of the whole system vulnerable.
I remember Web 0.9 in 1994, decentralized, like a magic forest in a adventure computer game, where Bookmarks were essentials and pages truly were regarded by the number of external links, and the ones that had the most were treasured. Pedro links, etc. Then as it usualy happens with free market based systems (every competition is a positive feedback loop - the more you are winning the more you have the capabilities to win), Internet become imperialized (in Marxist-Leninist definition of imperialism) and monopolized, Google being a central access point to almost everything on the Internet (I am simplifying by disregarding other monster web sites).
Those secretfreenets exist as long as they are at initial romantic decentralized early-adopter wild-West-pioneer robber-barons state. In other words, as long as they are not relevant much.
It seems that a solution to attack on mainstream internet is to maintain a freefloating living network of networks where networks are born, reach golden age of being popular but not centralized yet, and die out being not able to maintain secret security by obscurity character under the pressure of fame and necessity of centralization.
That's what is happening right now. So I stand corrected in my overmoderated pessimistic GP post: it's fine now, the king is dead, long live the princes and counts of the Internet.
it's not about connectivity, it's about accessibility: presence in the search results, being properly indexed.
There could be million free pages under any super-free Internet. What's the point of it if nothing could be found?
Main battle is going to be around google search results and there have been several front pages on that: content providers are already fighting with google.
If a movie is getting NC-17 rating, forget about profit (in this case most rightfully so, that's Islam speaking).
If a website is accessible only via Tor, forget about business.
Imagine isntead of banning megaupload website were still accessible through Tor or some other kind of superfreeandsecretnet. Do you really think Dotcom would be leaving in 22M mansion?
All the amazing tools and yet education level goes downhill. Why is that? Because the most important tool of education is metaphorical belt, ominously hanging on the metaphorical wall: if you are slackin', you' get the smackin'.
And the presence of father. Not the father "figure", but the real father (who does the metaphorical smacking).
If you have this, you don't need tools, just keep giving the homework and tests.
Give parents full autonomy of their kids. Sure few families will horrendously abuse their kids, but millions of families will get an opportunity to make a better next generation: less antisocial, more productive.
Muslims do not pretend they have "equality". Of course, under Shariah we treat Muslims differently from non-Muslims.
I do not give a flying rat's ass about "equality", because that's just a man made relativistic principle. More universal principle is internal consistency of the social system.
You claim equality of religion, yet your persecute based on religion. In institutional way. So, screw Europe except UK.

"elbonia". Estonia is one of the most technologically advanced countries in Europe as far as communications are concerned.

So? Read your books at home (on stone tablets, if you want), listen to lectures in the auditorium.
>This might seem ridiculous, but keep in mind
replace "but" with "because"
>As long as workers are disorganized
and as long as both sides have a choice.
>it's amusing to see thousands lining up to work there in contradiction to the extremely negative portrayal by the Western media
It's the other way around or you are making a comical reversal

Can anybody explain what the big deal is?
mRNA = "varying .. morphology of the block copolymers "
aminoacids = nanorods
Sans ribosome.

Same comparison could be made between action taken by US against drug cartels and Taliban, al-Shabaab, etc.

Google is next to useless when searching for good streaming. The sites that are on top of the search in Google are SEO'd blogspam.

"The important atomic bomb secret was that it could be done"
There were also significant successes in espionage.
I claim apples and oranges.
Don't read, because there is by definition no education in bullshit. Only brainwashing with aforementioned bullshit.
This "theory" is typical example of philosophical nonsense.
Don't.

Actually, very good point on medicine. We have the same active components on shelves of Giant under different brands.

"335 items " that's apples, oranges and orange skins. In reality there are 3 types of long-sleeve buttoned shirts.
"Think"? What looking up stuff in Wikipedia has to do with thinking?
"The typical supermarket will show you that consumers are spoiled for choice"
I was talking mainly about non-food items.
