Please... you don't need a UPS (which is for computers) in a major storm outage. If you had a whole home-oriented power backup, that might be something worth mentioning because you could use that energy (much more than a UPS has) for useful things like lighting and cooking raw foods or sanitizing water.

The only way I see a UPS really making sense is if it was used strictly to power and recharge a cellphone in the event that some form of emergency local towers were still in place.

My main point.. you don't need computer technology to get through bad situations -- you need things that have major impacts on survival. Food, water, shelter.

QFT 1000000X!

This doesn't say crap about 'junk DNA'.

About a thousand LNC-RNA papers and miRNA papers, and others, in the last decade would say this plant paper doesn't say much at all about other species' DNA.

in middleschool they teach you to reference sources....the slashdot post has no link to the actual trailer, nor does the crappy article it links to... crappy because it has no link to the trailer....

The business owes me toiletpaper, then. Fair is fair.

I stopped reading after your selfish sentence that said 'I choose not to'.

Get out of my species -- rather, you already have, so please go die like a fly.

What happened to the good old day rules that said NO USING PERSONAL DEVICES FOR SENSITIVE GOVERNMENT WORK?

There was this concept called the 'air gap', as well.

The basis of all of it was that as a person involved in sensitive government work you have absolutely no reason/business using technologies that are not provided to you to carry out the job. This reality is still possible today. You do not need a blackberry/iphone/etc to do your job and you can live without it until 5PM or whenever you get in your car to head home.

More options = more liabilities.

ugh.

We aren't competing all the time. If someone is perpetuating the species, and you fail to do so or prioritize that on your own, you shouldn't be so jealous/conceited/competitive/isolated/selfish/entitles (pick one) that you mouth of like this. Did you think humans just come about like ideas? When you're 80 and there are young children playing to admire at the park, you should know that other people went through very hard times to produce those offspring. Those kids will mow your lawn for cheap and maybe even write you some nice cards to you and your peers as a class project as you die alone.

Let me guess.. If you crap more than me, I deserve a compensation of equal toiletpaper from the workplace for me to use at home. That way you're not getting over on me --- ya know --- because you could hold it.

But bitcoin is extremely wasteful. At least with real coins the metals are still useful.

I hate swype.

Exactly. Luciferase requires lots of substrate to make lots of light. Chances are they will make very little... Actually, chances are three kickstarter money will fund some poor research that scoresby achieve anything but feed a few unemployed scientists.

You don't know enough about research and industry.

I will sum it up.

Public research digs up the most fundamental knowledge that in itself is only knowledge that can be applied.

Private research takes the public findings and refines the knowledge in a very focused, product-oriented way.

Both are required for our current successes.

you need a non-corporate interpretor.

The direct translation was that Israel's current leadership needs to cease to exist.

Did you ever check your source?

On the contrary, at least they know they lost to cheats, not skills.

The tracking is a byproduct of raising revenue on the backside while providing a 'free' frontside. If you pay enough, a business can afford to respect you. Back in the early internet days most services on the internet were premium based, but yahoo changed that, and figured out the american psychology.... That we prefer to pay nothing up front and take hits elsewhere...and so free ad based email was born, along with search providers, and the subsequent necessity to find a way to pay for it all..

most people that didn't use the internet back then do not even unders used to be different. Us older users shakeour heads and regret taking free accounts.

Complain to exxon. The gov doesn't set fuel prices. They rape you because they know you need it.

As a veteran, using a home loan guranatee, I know first hand that if I default, I will owe the government.

The loan guarantee means they back it, not that it is free. Look it up. They collect.
