Thats funny, because the article doesn't mention anything about creating life accidentally or in a manner than could occur in nature. On the contrary, it mentions that the scientists are "mixing, matching and stacking DNA's chemical components like microscopic Lego blocks in an effort to make biologically based computers, medicines and alternative energy sources."
If anything, this solidifies intelligent design's viability as an alternate theory. After all, this new life was INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED!
I know someone who walked into a car dealership and two of the salesmen were arguing over who had to go help him, as they didn't think he would actually buy anything.
He left with a $40,000 pickup truck, having bought it from neither of those two.
The path to pure electric cars is not in making more powerful motors, but in improving battery technology. Thats not to say that the concept here is not impressive, it is. However, running four of these motors (one for each wheel) is going to draw some SERIOUS juice.
Bad analogy...here is a better one: Lets say the University had a toll-free telephone number that allowed applicants to find out whether or not they were accepted. The only steps the University takes to protect this information is to simply not publish the phone number. But, its the same phone number that was used last year.
Now, why would a student, who was told last year what the correct URL format is to ask for their application status, now be considered an unethical computer hacker because this URL format returned information before the administration wanted it to be released.
Perhaps we should stop considering URLs to be security devices, and compare them more to telephone numbers.
That cheap memory in a Mac will cause the same problems it does in a "Wintel" PC. Same goes for hard drives.
I suppose the type of work his company does not rely on software thats only available for Windows. Because a lot of us run Windows not because we want to, but because we have to.
Am I the only one who thinks knee-jerk, lets convert 100% right now, shoot first ask questions later, is a bad way to convert from Microsoft to Macs (or Linux, Sun, etc.)?
Cisco's proprietary vlan trunking standard is ISL, which they seem to have abandoned. Newer switches now support 802.1Q, which is an open standard that works with Linux and MS Windows.
The American Civil War was as much about slavery as it was anything else, regardless of what some neo confederates say.
Several northern states were allowed to keep slaves for many years after the war ended.
The war effectively ended on April 9, 1865 when Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox. The 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery, was declared on December 18, 1865.
Explain to me, exactly, how several northern states were allowed to keep slaves after the 13th Amendment became law.

There is already an X in the tab bar (look at the right side) that will let you close the current tab.
You could regulate the compressed air down to a comfortable level, and then have an exhaust system take the dust and put it outside.

Hah, interesting how an ethical issues class is so unethical when it comes to text books.
Your room would remain lit up for the few hours it takes for the glowing substance to completely discharge.

Just anticipate when you need to turn the lights off, and flip the switch a few hours before.
Yeah, because was America needs is a Jacques Chirac, or Margaret Thatcher.

[i] I see that you're claiming that Indians are unable to produce quality software and hardware designs.[/i]
And I see you didn't read my statement very well. I'm not just talking about cheap Indian labor...but cheap labor period.
And do you really think Indians who produce this qualify software and hardware are working for the peanuts that outsourcing firms are paying?
Except, we're beginning to realize that you do indeed get what you pay for.
Print media soon discovered the real meaning of a free press.
So what you're saying is that you 0wn terroritory, you own it.
Get off your golf cart and walk the course. Then you'll sweat a little.
Disaster Recovery and Backups are parts of an overall security plan, but are not the only parts.
Yes, but most people who read Slashdot don't visit the articles. :)

Isn't that exactly authentication?
No, authentication is "I am Nicholas Harmon, and to prove it here is my password, secure certificate, and/or biometric signature".
