Of course diatoms are going to make better solar cells. I mean just look at the name, diatom is greek for two atoms. There's twice as many atoms there, so you'd guess they would make at least twice as good solar cells.

I think some fake blood is exactly what all these fake vampires need. Cranberry juice and V8 gets old after a while.

Well, maybe he's gay and wants to prove how macho he is so he can attract a nice manly man.

Didn't think about that one now did you?

Stickers are for wimps, real men get truck nutz for their netbooks.

Unicomp sells USB keyboards

I guess it's better than people shelling out big bucks for a "vintage" model M or a Das Keyboard.

This news is about 12 years old. They have been in Lexington, KY using the same old equipment that IBM used to make the Model M keyboards.

I would imagine that window treatments and a white or otherwise highly reflective roof would get you most of the benefits since what you're worried about heating and cooling really is the passenger compartment. The hood is over the engine which will be hot no matter what when the car is on, and in fact a hotter engine compartment at start up may increase the fuel efficiency since the time to fully warm up the engine will be less. The doors of the car will likely get relatively little direct radiative energy, and the trunk may get hot, but could be isolated from the cabin better I guess.

As an Apple Fanboy/Apologist/Groupie, I still LOL'ed.

God, I hate paying people for their work. It makes me feel so dirty and wrong.

That might cause some cluster headaches

In fact, it is "Breaking News"

Only when I'm doing electronics work, or LSD.

Proteins aren't cleaved, a zinc finger nuclease is used to mutate the CCR5 gene so that it is the HIV resistant type. These are then cloned.

I don't think 1 will be a problem. All T Cells have a CCR5 membrane protein, but the HIV resistant ones have a mutant type CCR5 protein. CCR5 is the way in which T cells get infected by HIV, and people with mutant type CCR5 genes survive quite well.

2 may be a problem, and I think will be the biggest hurdle here.

3 Shouldn't be a problem. Zinc Finger nucleases are able to delete the genes from a bunch of different cells at once. The idea is that you get a whole lot of T-Cells, Remove the 32 base pair segment from the two copies of the CCR5 gene in each T-Cell using zinc finger nucleases to make them the HIV resistant mutant type, culture more T-Cells which should be HIV resistant since they have the mutant gene, and inject the T-cells back into the patient.
