There was some television "news" saying the protections of debit and credits cards today were the same as far as zero liability in the case of fraud goes, but it may take longer to remedy if it was a debit card. Personally, I have no reason to vouch for this as I've only used credit cards in my life.
Many of these journals require copyright assignment, at which point it's not your own work anymore. Just one more reason the traditional scientific publishing model needs to die a quick death.
The work (i.e., content) should still be the authors'. Technically, it's the format of the content that the journal owns. Requiring camera-ready formatting from the authors is just added insult to an exploitive economic model.
It's not just an accent. My surname is Wu in mandarin, Ng in cantonese and pronounced Go or No in other dialects.

The smallest, simplest forms of life are nevertheless far more complex than the most complex device ever constructed by people. It is a form of institutional hubris to suggest or believe that new life can be created by stitching together some DNA. The best we can manage at the present is to modify some tiny function of an existing life form in a hopefully beneficial direction. Anyone who thinks otherwise can volunteer to deal with the next influenza outbreak.
I seem to recall a "minimal genome" project that now seems as though it involved catenating a selection of genes sufficient for life. I'd have to search what came of it, but if you or anyone else could shed some light on it, I'd welcome it.
Certain companies, notably those dealing as real estate trusts or energy companies, already do not pay taxes on taxable income if they distribute almost all of it to shareholders within a designated 12-month period. In the case of mREITs, at least 90% has to be paid out, which is done so in the form of monthly or quarterly dividends.
Ripple effects are pretty scary. Good thing trading can be halted to let problems subside.
to that of Toshi Station power converters? I think I could manager to pick up a few on my way home before dinner.
Yes, but if triclosan is such a miracle product, why aren't our bodies producing it naturally?
Maybe because evolution showed there were some downsides?
Why aren't our bodies producing venom with which we can kill live prey to eat it?
The gene(s) has to be there, and it has to be activated.
Currently not having the gene doesn't necessarily mean we cannot acquire it.
I believe we can still see insurance companies dictate the level of care per individual. I have to read more, though.

...and nothing else. She will either adapt or leave you.
Alternatively, there's a small chance she'll impale you with your own replica ba'tleth. Women are rather creative creatures that way.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Why is that a downside?
I guess the only compressing of images that makes sense from a bandwidth point of view is lossy compression. Otherwise it's just sucking cycles and potentially draining your battery.
Opera Mini supposedly "compresses data", too, but I don't know how it compares.

RIAA: hey, we're making less money under our Jurassic distribution system; you must be stealing our property!
Insurance companies: give us money and we'll do our best to find ways not to cover you!
Political parties: give us money and we'll do our best to bicker back and forth under the guise of doing the people's business.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
