He wasn't mentioned in the movie, since it was watching the movie that inspired him to start playing.

It looked exactly like the cover

...except for ALL the details

...and that the game sucked

Really few of the Atari games boxes looked like the game - but it was pretty obvious.

As long as they don't mess with the Juice

The linked to article had little useful info - it didn't even mention who the authors of the paper were or the title of the paper. I had to do some digging around and found it Here's a link to the abstract: http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/2/41/41ra51.abstract The basics are that they isolated 3 peptide fragments that have a very high immuno response - and two were from unexpected proteins

I thought that was weird to... the original site says footled so they probably meant fooled - though footled is a word, but doesn't mean anything that makes sense. Of course my l33t speak is a bit rusty.

This is not the case. The problem is the new law (1099-misc not the 1099-K) will require an extreme increase in paperwork. The $600 requirement is now for EVERYTHING you do - not just for salary and similar expenses. Make a purchase for something (goods or service) over $600 and you need to file paperwork - that means getting TIN for all sorts of places - hotels, office supply store, rent, and on and on. For a large company that electronically files everything - they'll simply hire a few people to take care of it. However the small business owner will have an exponential increase in paperwork. An estimate of the average number of 1099s a small business files is about 10-15 a year currently - under the new law this number for many small business will be well over 100 (and that estimate only included 1099s for services not goods so the actual number is probably more than double that). Even if each form only takes 10 minutes to file if the owner does it themselves that is 1000 - 2000 minutes a year (16 - 32 hours) many owners of small business already work long hours 60+ a week and an extra couple hours a month is ridiculous to put them through. If they pay an accountant or the like more money goes out of the business. In the US with the economy the way it is currently and unemployment the way it is - this could slow down hiring of new people and/or reduce incomes of business who have to hire someone to take care of it. Most of these businesses are complying with everything already - this is punishing the many for the (potential) fraud of the few. With the number of new IRS agents that will need to be hired - they'd be better off just enforcing the current laws and do some quick audits of suspicious businesses

Looks like you don't know your basics Radiation can mean any number of things - in this case it is electromagnetic radiation - so yes they are talking about photons. Light IS radiation. It doesn't matter if it is visible, UV, IR, or radio waves - all photons.

"Although some cash machines were quickly reconfigured to override the 2010 problem, many bank customers were forced to queue to withdraw cash over the counter. Germany's economics minister, Rainer Brüderle, urged banks to 'ensure that credit and bank cards function without problem as soon as possible, or to replace them immediately'." My gosh standing in line to get money is so 1980

This was along the lines of my first thought. These large RNAs could just be leftover from some sort of viral infection. Especially considering viral genes can jump in and out of the genome depending on the phase of infections. This could be analogous to the idea that the mitochondria and chloroplast were small bacteria like organisms that were engulfed by a larger cell and then became symbiotic. These large RNAs could be providing some sort of biological advantage and have become "part" of the organism.

Well - you won't forget it now! Anyhow - the article was green lit as is - so you don't get all the blame

I wonder how many a "diarrhea" of users is? Maybe close to 144 - that would be pretty gross, or 288? that would be "too" gross [rim-shot].

I agree completely with this. I have taught several courses using about 70-80% of the lecture with PowerPoint slides. I make every slide myself - though I do use text figures if they are good (only about half are). I have varied with the amount text on the slides going from 85% of what I'm going to say to less than 20% - for the most it really depends on the topic how much you need, but most students like the amount somewhere in the middle. That way when they look at the slides it's easier to remember what I was talking about. I now also put up my slides ahead of time, so every student can print them out and take notes on them - so that they pay attention to me - and not just try to copy everything down (of course many still do that - erggg. What is funny is when I find out they copy down my mostly bad jokes). Now for research presentations - I totally go with the minimal approach. You are there to here ME talk about MY research - not be bored with reading my slides. Lots of pictures - few words other than the title and labels on the slide.

I was thinking the same thing. Converting Pyrimidine to Uracil is simply adding a few oxygen atoms in the right places. Now if they only got uracil (or at least a significant majority) as a product that would be something. It's like shooting red paintballs at a target, followed by yellow paintballs and then being amazed that you see a lot of orange!

I highly doubt this thing know how to correct true North from magnetic North data. That said, they'd be quite close in most places people would actually use it.
