I am so tired of hearing from gaming companies about how the next generation will be cheaper and more stable. Blah they just keep looking for an excuse to rape my wallet. Remember how CD and DVD technology were supposed to make games cheaper? Anything to make a buck. I now have to pay them for the privilege of what sounds like game testing something you used to get paid for or at least some perks.

Better Liars? Wouldn't a better liar be one who is not capable of lying and getting away with it?

That is definitely true for traditional Chinese characters, but it breaks down with the simplified characters. Some simplified characters remove or change radicals, or the whole character changes dramatically, so the phonetic portion may no longer be there or is not apparent.

Ironically, the traditional characters are easier to learn to read and understand (maybe not to write) than the simplified ones.

Short-term, Google probably has more to lose (although, arguably, they also have more to *gain* by cutting ties with China; it certainly isn't going to do their reputation in the West any harm).

In the long term, however, I think China has more to lose.
Google is not the first company to decide doing business in China is More Trouble Than It's Worth. As it stands, a lot of people deal with China not because they're a pleasure to do business with, but because it "seems important", because China's so big. That's not a good basis for a solid relationship. If they continue doing just about everything they can think of to alienate people, China may eventually find themselves screaming "we're important, come do business with us" to a world that has lost the willingness to put up with their nonsense.

There are two parts to this:

1) Get the RNA into the cell in the first place. Anything you want to get into a cell has to pass through the cell membrane, and if the molecule is any larger than H2O, the only way to do that is with a transport mechanism you would find within the cell membrane. In this case, the transferrin receptor that transports Fe from the bloodstream to the interior of the cell.

2) Cause the transcription interference in the DNA itself, as described by the GP. At this point, the transferrin receptor is no longer at issue. While normal cells will definitely uptake the RNA, the idea is that normal cells won't be affected by it because it is designed to interfere only with RRM2, a cancerous mutation.

The information is out there freely available.

I can't imagine how you could set the barriers any lower....
Compared to most barriers in life they're right down there with the rats leaping over them joyfully.

Everyone with the desire to be a programmer, a bit of time, a bit of willpower, a working brain and a net connection.
So sure.
Not everyone.

yes. people are not omniscient. it's true.

The context is there as well. Her other posting says "I still want to stab a certain someone in the throat with a trocar though. Hmmm ... perhaps I will spend the evening updating my 'Death List #5' and making friends with the crematory guy. I do know the code ..." Suddenly the context can be seen to shift from simply about class, to referencing her desire to do violence.

Keep in mind that earlier this year we had a mentally unstable student charged with murder. The offense? Poor lab protocol. So, a college student going off the rails isn't unprecedented. I see no harm in a little additional caution when an already stressed (by nature of university) college student is having violent thoughts or fantasies and is looking forward to their next classroom time with sharp instruments. She has the chance to appeal, as well.

Eminent domain is not a right, it is a power. Governments have powers, individuals have rights.

And when your house is condemed, what exactly is the difference? I understand your point, but its unnessary nitpicking, because it doesn't change the fact that the government can do it.

And as I have been saying - legal authority is not moral authority. The USC has its imperfections, but it's what we have.

Ya, so we should not be able to have a civilization because a few people can't be happy in another home? Checkout the Woodhaven Expressway, it's what happens when a few selfish people block improvements that would benefit many.

Wrong.

The only way to be sure is to nuke it from orbit.

Have a nice day.

Or you may have
- poor apps whose layout breaks at low DPI
- poor apps that don't resize icons for lower resolutions
- apps that down-sample resolution poorly
etc.
And so people should run their screens at high resolution. Not.

The point is that you shouldn't have to change your resolution or worry about resolution or its affect on your apps. The OS should put the resolution at an optimal value for the monitor that you are using. That's what Fedora does for me.
A GUI or app that assumes a fixed resolution or font size is a poor app. If you don't use or buy them they will go away.

It's really a matter of how well your needs actually match the design. In some cases the price is worth it (or even necessary). In other cases where your requirements for accuracy, reliability, or ease of use are much less than the design goals, it's an outrageous price but the lower cost part with the looser design constraints doesn't exist. That's when it's time to get hacking.

Just how do you plan on handling the overpopulation of Earth?
Back to the subject at hand... we could move everyone on Earth to California, and then every single human being would have 650 Square feet of space to call their own.

Not true. You spent a significant amount of money developing the other 399 that didn't get approved.
