A 200W PSU for a computer will consume 144 kWh per month. Just that comp alone would cost $6 extra to run.
Given that the submitter "odyaws" reports his electricity usage at about 150 kWh/month, that puts him smack in the middle of cheap-ass mom's basement dwellers.
Either the guy is blowing smoke outta his ass about the true cost, or he's the kind of guy that runs AC off the street lamp.
Average American person sucks up over 700 kWh/month. Traditional successfull 'geek' household (decent AC, two-car heated garage, freezer/fridge, range/microwave, CCTV, plasma in the basement, gadgets, 24/7 computers, VAX cluster (winter heating), wireless, hot tub) will eat up 10,000 kWh easily.
Need to use DNA because RNA is unstable. RNA and DNA are interconvertible, but the naked RNA molecule will be chopped up and eaten by the cell. Even if it didn't, it would also need (at least) a reverse transcriptase, (an RNA-dependant DNA polymerase enzyme) to go from RNA->DNA before the cell can start making viral proteins.
Since RNA has absolutely no chance for to survive or integrate without the viral enzymes, so gene-guns have to use DNA.
I'd tell the submitter where to shove such 'new methods', but it appears that has already been done:
Chen et al. Immunity obtained by gene-gun inoculation of a rotavirus DNA vaccine to the abdominal epidermis or anorectal epithelium.Vaccine. 1999 Aug 6;17(23-24):3171-6
All's well and good, until one day telecoms figure there's some serious cash in this.
Then expect Senator Ted Stevens to explanat how DNS is a set of pipes but not a track, and the pipes are clogged with Internet someone's aidees tried to send to him on Friday.
Then the kind DNS folks ask Goggle to pay them a little to make their name resolve, um... faster. And not at 90 seconds it would take by default due to, um... costs?
Or MS enables this by default, making it a defacto standard.
Good point, what the authors are doing is probably trying to score some NSF funds or something.
Arthritis, AIDS, tuberculosis, Leukemia, lupus, endometriosis, etc. Deadlier cousins of the failures of the immune system you mentioned.
What they should be modelling the next-gen spam filters on are intracellular def. mechanisms, RNAi, si/shRNA, nuclear translocation tags, etc. Which is what blacklists, senderid, etc. are copying anyways.
(Redmond, WA) Today amid thunderous applause, Microsoft's CEO Steven Balmer has unveiled the 'bigger, better, stronger,' next-generation PDA/mediaplayer nicknamed Argo, designed from the ground-up to address customer needs and built upon numerous shortcoming of its rival iPod.
Argo features a consumer-replacable 400 VAC lead acid battery, not only cheap to replace, but also ultra-portable at 10 lb.
Living up to its reputation for building sold, reliable hardware, Microsoft has included a sturdy 1/8" titanium cover housing a 7000 RPM double ball-bearing fan for a cooler, quieter performance akin to XBox-360.
Addressing consumer outcry for easier ways to combat piracy, the company included a Genuine-Advantaged Clippy. Never fear Jack Sparrow, for Clippy is on the lookout: 'Looks like you'd like to purchase a non-pirated copy...'
Addressing iPod's lack of backward compatibility, the msPod features both RS232/LTP and RJ12 ports (from winmodem) easily accessible from the front.
Argo is designed to be compatible with the future software and hardware, which includes expandability options via internal PCI/ISA slot. And a built-in ATA/66 controller (IDE cable/power adapter not included) allows those nerds to take their 3.5"-HD-stored library on the go!
As always, the customer support is Microsoft's top priority, and the included activation reminder will let buyers continue using their msPod for 14 days without registering. Helpfully, it will periodically stop your song to remind you to register!
In unrelated news, a local Redmond furniture company filed for the chapter-9 protection.
From TFV (video): 1) where are the stars, stars should be visible in the sky 2) why does the camera image shake so much? being one with the launch vehicle, the shuffle/tank images should appear stationary 3) after unstaged separation, the stage appears to rotate around only 2 axes. Any physicist will tell you this is mathematically impossible (P way way low, same as 1-axis). Any undergrad that can spell 'Lagrangian' and 'Hamiltonian' will tell you as much. The rotation should be in 3 axes (which is something that most (all?) special effects guys either do not know, or forget) 4) clouds appear to visibly move in the Earth snapshots == FUD on this timescale 5) look at the pixelated wing. Either they use some cheap-ass camera, or the model is tiny
An investigation was conducted by the FBI regarding the famous physicist because of his affiliation with the Communist Party. Einstein was a member, sponsor, or affiliated with thirty-four communist fronts between 1937 and 1954. He also served as honorary chairman for three communist organizations.

"The President, in his constitutional role as Commander in Chief, has always had the authority in times of war to order the detention of enemy combatants to prevent them from carrying out acts of war and to gather intelligence."
I though I should clarify that the alleged record transfer is not illegal since Pres. Bush has the inherent Constitutional power under the Article 2 to take all needed steps to protect America, its People, and the Constitution itself. The President has on a number of occasions delegated said power to conduct intelligence operations (e.g. to Negroponte et al.), and hence the aforementioned operations, authrized either by the Pres. or under his authority, are Constitutional.
The Senate Judiciary Committee (under A. Specter) has held a number of hearings over the Terrorist Surveillance program's legality and Bush's 'Executive Primacy' Doctrine, and while some concerts were raised, none were deemed sufficient to merit subpoenas or be otherwise escalated. To put it simply, our beloved Republican Leadership and the American People give the programs a 'green light' to carry on and expand.
While it would be trivial for the Executive branch to demonstrate that the Terrorist Surveillance and similar programs are completely constitutional, the reason the Government is maintaining secrecy is to preserve our lives protect our Freedom and the American Way of Life.
Loose lips sink ships, and all that. One would hope the NYT would learn that by now.
The greatest failure of our school system is that we devote entirely too much time teaching kids how to spell, and thusly lack time for teaching kids how to write.
Makes me cry when I read opera such as the following:
Dear Mom and Dad,
The college is good. Its hot in my dorm. My roommate is from TX. My roommate taking 2 classes same me. The AC broke. Its hot here now. My roommate he the dog. Yesterday was funny but before Walmart. Because they said I have to be 21. Thanx for the money. Say hi to every one.
Corporate Security should not rely on well-behaving of fourth-party applications/protocols.
Sure, go ahead and demand that Skype's protocol be crippled to improve visibility, but the fact remains that if a random O.S.S. proggie can accidentally breach your perimeter, then your P.O.S. security will not stand up to a script-kiddie, let alone a corporate spy.

Legacy support? No problem. Both RS232/LTP and RJ12 (from winmodem) on the front.
Expandability? Here's your internal PCI/ISA slot. And a built-in ATA/66 controller (IDE cable/power adapter not included)
