It does. Each field has a number of characters listed, and it counts down as you type. It's not really all that bad; it just doesn't make sense, for a college application, for it to be a hard limit.

Hey! You just published that article! You can't do that; it doesn't belong to you!

I was only half joking, really. I'm glad to be doing my part to slow overpopulation. I have every intention of adopting, even if the technology to do otherwise is available. The problem is that most people aren't homosexual, so this only slightly mitigates the problem.

Or... gay people. Who get the sex and the lack of offspring!

The New Mexico Whiptail is another lizard in the exact same situation. It's a hybrid of two other whiptails, and reproduces exclusively through parthenogenesis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnemidophorus_neomexicanus

Here in education-dumps Florida, it wasn't too difficult for me to become a semifinalist. Unfortunately, none of the schools I'm applying to (I've gotten into one, so I cut my safeties off my list) give scholarships. However, it's important to realize the that vast majority of students don't pay the sticker price of college. Big-name colleges, and especially Ivies, offer very substantial financial aid, generally giving full scholarships for students whose families make less than $60k a year, and using a sliding scale where they pay up to 10% of their family's income if they make between 60k and 250k.

Not exactly. There are three dimensions, but there is just very little information in the third compared to the other two.

Except when we use synesis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesis

Don't cross the streams!

Not particularly high. This is just cross-pollination within a species, and a direct canola-kudzu hybrid is nearly impossible.

It's nice that it's available on Linux, but I still have to play it on Windows because my underspec'd computer can't handle OpenGL 2.0. The Windows version uses DirectX, so it would be nice if the Linux version supported SDL.

This has enormous potential. You could target it to pancreatic cells, for example, and knock out a gene that reduces insulin production. The problem is that this technique can't insert new DNA, so it can't repair the damaged genes that cause a lot of genetic disorders.

You'd have to engineer particles that target a specific vital tissue (and stop thinking "brain", because the blood-brain barrier would block that), and then deliver a piece of siRNA that silences an essential gene for that tissue. You'd also have to inject enough of these into the person to have this effect. Still, it could be useful to replace the siRNA entirely with some kind of toxin (it would be nearly undetectable, because it wouldn't linger in the bloodstream).
