We don't know if it will even work properly, Dolly the sheep is not enough evidence that it is guaranteed human cloning would be possible. Even if you did get an embrionic stem cell and implant foreign DNA, then you would need a womb to raise it you cant just "let it develop". Even if that happens, the person coming out wouldnt be the same. There are plenty of genetic identicles in the world, do we go around shooting every one of those because of it? No, we don't.
I have no qualms with cloning, identicle twins arent 100% indenticle, genetics dont make up everything about a person.
As far as Bill Gates or Saddam paying for their own clones, what was stopping them before? Laws? Bah, laws never stopped Saddam slaughtering people.
As far as the article is concerned, I am happy, some say we slaughter these "people" and we are "killing babies" but look at it realistically, the embryos we would use are being thrown away anyway, why not use them?
ALERT! You seem to have mistyped something. (Ok)
Would you like Microsoft Vista to correct this for you? (Ok)
Did you mean: $windows_version == 'vista'? (Yes)
ERROR! I'm afraid that your system has gone through a significant hardware change, such as changing a CD. You keyboard and mouse will not be responsive until you call Microsoft HelpLine.
The article mentioned a future feature of having an LED flashlight. Now there is a feature I would actually want. Ingenious! How many times have we all tried to use the phones backlit display as a flashlight, why not go all the way and it's so damn simple to implement. Whenever you need a flahslight, you never seem to have one. Cell phone companies (I'm looking at you Motorola, LG, Nokia, etc.) please put this in your phones, be they relatively featureless or featurful. The utility of this far exceeds an mp3 player or video player.
From nokia alone:
-Nokia 3200
-Nokia 5100
-Nokia 5140
-Nokia 5500
-Nokia 1108
And those are just the ones off the top of my head with flashlights. The list has phones that are featureless (1108) and featureful (5500).
Just to reconfirm what you are saying, you can make your purchase in russia, and transport your goods to whereever you live. That is not illegal. You could break the law if your country forbids music to be stored in mp3 format, but i know of nowhere where this to be true. It could be like buying a sofa in china for a tenth of the cost it is here, then you bring it here. OMG THE SOFA INDUSTRY IS GOING TO GO BONKERS OVER IT:O
Stability is relative. Just like everything else in science. Carbon 13 is relatively unstable compared to Carbon 12. Carbon 13 is however relatively stable compared to the vast majority of super heavy elements. The big fat number of neutrons has a whopping lot of importance to stability, and most researchers are just making a fruit punch of elements hoping for the best.
The major reason why people study this is to get their PhD's. Lots of people will throw money at you if you say "I DISCOVERED SOMETHING BRAND NEW"
What happened to the days when it was acceptable to kiss a girl on the hand instead of shakin it. Its not sexual, its just a kind gesture, but no, got threatened with a sexual harrassment suit.
Once again someone has performed a quantitative study and produced quantitative results and decided "well who cares about the qualitative side of things?!?!?". QUICK SOMEONE CALL THE FLAME BRIGADE!
Conversely so, this marketing strategy is a very dangerous and risky one. Lets say that you were starving. There was an apple for $2, but you were only willing to pay $1.50 for something, then theres this orange, for $1.25. Sure that apple looks nice, but so does that orange. So you buy the orange, you have an amazing $0.25 left. The next day, still without funding, you go back in and you see the apple is now $1.50, but you only have $0.25. Now you have to wait all that time to get back to $1.50.
We all know however that we cannot compare apples and oranges.
The problem with dirty lawn mowers arises in the fuel that is burnt. Petrol (im australian, if any americans see the word petrol, replace it with gasoline) is fairly impure stuff. Theres a bit of this, a bit of that, benzene, heptane, cyclo-hexane, octane, and etc. Most of this doesn't get a chance to fully burn, and thus you get products such as carbon monoxide.
The reason this is worse in lawnmowers and scooters is that they use a very inefficient (but extremely cheap) carby, this introduces too much fuel into the piston and a lot of it isnt burnt. However if they used a direct fuel injection system, that closely monitors all of the exhausts to make sure its only CO2, then you can guarantee that they would be one of the cleanest beasts, but expensive, and break easy.
What I'm trying to say is that if this doesnt use traditional petrol, and say pure ethanol instead (which can be harvested from sugar cane, not fossil sources), then it would be extremely cheap and clean.
Governments probably funded the research from the masses of revenue it collects from Casinos. The governments were probably sick of people cheating them out of their money, and thus researched to see if it made a difference.
1. Ion "fans" do exist, I have made one, but it made nowhere near 325 CFM, made about 50, which is still impressive silent. (works by jumping electrons from an anode onto a cathode, but not by arcing. If you move them far enough away (and increase the voltage so it can jump that far) then you will be able to generate wind, as the electrons ionise things like O2 in the air (and dust, which by moving to the cathode will also move other particles to cause a breeze), to eventually form O3 (bad) and the negatively charged particles move to the cathode as well. All this movement, if controlled, causes a breeze) 2. There is the option of a network install, using a flash drive to install, or install it using another computer, or use a cd drive, and remove it later.
Suprisingly i would like to suggest he use a different heatsink, the one he used has the fins too close, and with the fairly undirected air, it would have trouble flowing through, so use a better spaced copper heatsink could be better.
Although i do know the sales of the DS are flying, and the sales of the PSP are flopping (btw I'm more of a nintendo fanboy then sony) but i just cant see any evidence for that anywhere where i live. I personally own a psp, and I love it, the screen is clear, ive got a few of my favourite movies, and best of all I can play homebrew on it without having to spend a small fortune on a flash cart that might not even have full functionality. I also study pharmacy at university, i have not seen a single DS there, but i know at least 10 people with psp's and I see many more. Lots of us play against each other, and etc and its great fun. Even the DS section of EBgames is smaller then the PSP.
A pair of heated gloves? What a brilliant idea! Until, ya know, you have to actually go outside. In the cold. There ain't an extension cord long enough.
What is this outside you speak of? My life revolves around being within 4 feet of my computer at all times.
So snooker and darts dont take years to master? Please, a video game veteran will easily beat a person who has been playing it a couple of weeks and has learned a trick or two.
Sports I can guarantee have no such thing as "set rules". Sports constantly evolve, like your gimp night elf druid. Lets take an example, in rugby union (and rugby league) there are things called scrums. This involves the six largest players on each team push each other (in dual triangle formation) while the ball is fed into the middle of the pack. Usually the team with the larger players would outpush the other team fast enough to get the ball, even if it wasn't their feed. Now however (since the rules have changed) the person feeding the ball can throw it directly through the first lines legs to the second line of the scrum to have a nearly guaranteed possession. This made faster teams (instead of stronger teams) more favourable as there was now less use for the larger players. OMG TEH LEARGE PLYERS G0T NERFED FIX PLZ!!!!!! Please note that stealing the ball can still occur in union as the scrums are managed slightly differently.
Now rugby is a professional sport, but the rules changed. What makes a good athlete is one that can EVOLVE with the sport. Putting it bluntly, if they decide to nerf a skill of a character you relied on, then you would be able to gank more noobs with another.
Also, with your basketball analogy, it wouldnt be the single player suffering, because everyone relies on some form of movement, and everyone would be slowed down somewhat, and he would still be relatively faster then the other players.
And we all know that to copy we must hold the command key with out left pinky, press c with our right index finger whilst hopping on one foot humming the tune to les miserables.
According to the initial police report, Steve did nothing to provoke the stingray. Camera man had bumped into it, but even that doesnt normally cause them to attack. Its like tripping over, the concrete path didnt intentionally mean to smack you in the face.
Someone died near Mission Beach (200kms south of the port douglas incident (steve)) about 5 years ago. She had an allergic reaction to the venom however and wasnt punctured directly in the heart.
I always saw the barefoot bushman as more australian then steve, but steve was more popular because of his kookyness.
That's a different category, thats a historical recreation, which isn't based on entirely fiction at all. If its a recreation, they should at least do a good job. BTW If they are true WWII buffs, they would have hated Pearl Habour
As far as i see it, and as a summary of what you said, you should be punished AFTER you commit the crime, not before it. This however is rebutted by a prevention being better then a cure.
Protein based hormones, such as growth hormone, go through a process called amide hydrolysis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amide_hydrolysis). This process breaks apart proteins, making them useless. If you read the small paragraph in the wiki, you will find out this is catalysed by acids or alkilis. The stomach is a wonderful place full of HCl, this catalyses hydrolysis extremely quickly. Strangely enough, leaky gut (http://osiris.sunderland.ac.uk/autism/gut.htm) is a condition that causes hyperpermeability of the intestinal lining. This is AFTER the stomach.
Not only that but acids are known to denature proteins (destroying the secondary and tertiary formations), which also causes neutrality of proteins.
Hormones that do effect leaky gut patients are usually the cholesterol based hormones, such as testosterone and oestrogen.
