My gf's computer had a root-kit on it. I go to a tech school, and nearly everyone knowledgeable here (even IT guys) went over the damn thing to see what was wrong. It kept doing pop-ups, like it had some type of ad-ware, but it didn't appear to have anything abnormal running. It didn't matter if it was IE or firefox, the ad would pop up on pretty regular intervals. Every possible thing was checked, from using standard tools like spy-bot-s&d, any number of free and bought virus scanners... Some people (including me) even poured over the registry by hand to find out if anything was running. absolutely nothing.
It turned out to be a ROOT-KIT (2 actually, they hid each other. One user-mode, and one kernel-mode). The rogue programs actually were able to make windows "not see" the file. On boot, windows would see it just enough to turn it on, but after it was running it prevented anything from actually finding it, injecting code between the hard-disk access and low-level windows stuff. not windows-explorer, not regedit, not task-manager, not even 3rd party apps like win-task, or even defraggers.
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/RootkitRevea ler.html - RootkitRevealer 1.7 by Sysinternals showed a directory in "C:/windows", and one in "C:/program files", that if you went to look normally, didn't show up. I quickly booted up Knoppix and verified that there was some crap in there, but a search on the Internet showed nothing. Booted windows into safe mode, and since safemode doesn't run things other than windows crap, I was able to delete the two folders, and even a registry entry that showed up about it.
If you can't find anything, maybe its because it won't let you find it!
I entered into a computer engineering program to learn how to make games... But I DO know how much is required and I am interested in solving new and inovative problems.
Does that mean I win?
I am a tarp making company (you know, those large plastic water-proof things)...
Everyone buys tarps from me. I have a monopoly on the tarps.
My tarps have annoying holes.
Some companys start up that base their company off of filling those holes with tape.
next generation of tarps don't need said tape, the holes aren't there, or are self filling.
said companys sue me.
Stupid.
So, it is not that there is a gene that causes cancer, its that some people are lacking genes which prevent cancer...
But, what if there was a gene that causes cancer, and a one that prevents it. Could there perhaps be a darwininesque situation within the gene pool itself, with genes fighing amongst genes. With each generation, not only are we evolving, the genes themselves are having mini evo battles, whose micro-turbulence causes macro-turbulence within the species. It would be a system set up so that genes evolved a way for genes to evolve quicker than normal. So perhaps cancer is itself both a blessing and a curse, it helps thin out the species only to allow more room for the speices to grow.
Oh the beauty that is the edge of chaos.
we could win the battle, but lose the war, so to speak.
No.
living longer != aging
Aging is the deterioration of the body due to a lack of cell growth. anti-aging would therefore cause a better quality of life.
Right now (as you put it), people are living longer, and are aging... It is this aging that is causing them to have poor quality of life. Granted, if they had a shorter life, they wouldn't age as much. But if we had anti-aging, people would live longer AND not age, thusly quality of life would be quite good.
This study suggest that the aging process (or the lack of cell growth) is to combat the growth of cancerous tumors.
by turning off ink4, the mice did not age... but coincidentally lived the same amount of time due to cancer.
If the person
Maybe that is what happens during a female's menstruation cycle and thats why they live longer! If you added up the average time of menstruation for a female in her life cycle, i wonder if the days would equal the extra years women average over men.
*me wonders*
(PS. I think that instead of saying turning INK4 off would "cause cancer", i would say, it "ceases to limit cancer growth"... having INK4 is a symptom of cancer, not a cause. our body is constantly creating cancer, and INK4 is one of hte ways our immune system prevents it.)
I second, the only time i've had problems was when my powersupply couldn't handle the usage of my vid-cap card while running hyperthreading on it's data.
mmm, paperclip.
ironically enough, my school started in one building, and then ended in another, we were bussed between the two in mid day. I could have walked up hill both ways, once to get to the start building, and once from teh end bulilding.

yeah, but unlike MS, they don't suck. Google's ideas of the "right thing", in my opinion, is better. Google focuses on making a good product, which sells itself, where MS goes and makes a mediocre product, then advertises the crap out of it.
yaya, devil sticks.
I broke one of my handles, so I went around trying to do it with only one. It did wonders for my skill level when coming back to two sticks because I no longer rely on the other to catch a trick.
Sometimes a prodigy might only be because they took the problem in a drastically diffrent way.
If I went and bought a few things from buy.com, a few from directron.com and a few from newegg.com, which individually are just upgrades, but in their net is a actually a brand new custom computer... where would i get the OEM operating system from? Lets say i wanted to become my own little custom computer providing company, if i couldn't do it this way I'd argue that Microsoft is playing favorites and acting in a monopolistic fashion. I bought OEM Windows xp pro for 69$ (and a mouse-pad) from anotherplace all together.
I even play my games that way, if only at high sensitivity (I have very fine motor control).. The only problem is that smaller movements tend to be limited by the friction of the mouse pad/sliders, but that can be accounted for. The Logitech mx518 gaming mouse is a joy for me since it has buttons that control the sensitivity on the fly. Using one setting I can reach all the way across my dualmonitors, and on another I have very fine control for things like Photoshop/sniping etc. I used to have an mx700 wireless mouse, which although had the same shape, it was quite heavy due to the batteries, going from the heavy one to this über light g15 is a night and day difference. Not to mention that it's physical design allows me to grip teh moues with my thumb and ring and pinky finger quite nicely.
It makes me want the g5 http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details /US/EN,CRID=2142,CONTENTID=10715 because that one has adjustable weights.
I figure that a computer is only as usable as it's input and output devices, so I figure a sacrafice in memory and processor speed is well worth haveing useful and accurate mice and keyboards.
Now if only I was rich and could figure out a way to get a crossfire setup that can run 4 monitors at once...

An excess of water vapor is pollution too! Too much moisture in the atmosphere upsets the natural balance.
Hooray for triangulation!
I vote, "in doing so creating a self supporting loop forked off from the current timeline and is therefore now null and void".
Does that account for the time-warp effect due to Google's immense size (and thus gravity?).

I'd imagine they'd be using blood samples or some other sample to test, not actually on the subjects themselves, it might be faster that way.

Yeah, I believe that this would be an almost defacto-standard case that torrents were designed for.
