DNA is too complex to be made by amino acids alone.
Which is convenient since DNA isn't made from amino acids.
In the USA, yes there are (can't speak for other countries). It is afforded the same status as lawyer-client or doctor-patient. A spiritual advisor (priest, minister, rabbi, shaman, spaghetti wizard) may not be compelled to reveal what someone told him PROVIDED the communication is in the context of providing spiritual advice or counseling; this context is generally construed very broadly.
Of course their idiots...
Who's idiots are you referring to?
Why is litmust test of biological knowledge (for college freshman) whether they know where plants get the majority of there mass?
All of the questions revolve around the carbon cycle. The point is to make sure that college students understand the carbon cycle so that they can discuss global climate change in every college class from physics to poetry.
No, he probably would not have. He fought and defeated the Selden patent, which was just this sort of troll patent.
"If time travel is possible..."
It has already been done; since we have no record of visitors from the future then it must not be possible.
Ah, you arrogant humans, thinking you're interesting enough to pay a visit to.
Speaking of which, why do they need to keep the wings?
Why? You couldn't build a better roof-truss than a wing of a 747. It's a huge structure designed to support lots of weight.
Um, roofs do not need to support a lot of weight, there's generally nothing on top of them. Unless you happen to live in Buffalo, NY and are carrying a heavy snow load. But this house is being built in Malibu. Weight loading on this roof is not a factor.
And the structural elements inside an aircraft wing are optimally designed to distribute the loads typically found on a wing, not a roof. Even a half-assed engineer could design a truss system better suited to a roof than a jumbo jet wing.
Scully was referring to himself, not Jobs.
Knowing whether radioactive decay rates are constant goes to our fundamental understanding of matter. How does that not have significance??
the only "bad" was a spelling mistake. (Personell)
The real "bad" is correcting a spelling mistake with another spelling mistake.

great episode, in fact probably my favourite ever
Mine too, but what does it say that the Doctor was barely in the episode?
For something to be defined as art it has to have no purpose or function other than itself.
So if I'm using a Rembrandt to cover up a hole in my drywall is no longer art?
Yes, photosynthetic slugs have been known for years (decades). What was unknown was whether any of the genes required for photosynthesis have been incorporated into the genome of the animal as opposed to solely using the genetic material in the consumed chloroplasts. (Yes, chloroplasts do have their own genome.) It was just now shown and reported that the genes to make chlorophyll have in fact been stably incorporated into the slug's genome. That is news.
