The industry has been trying to get sequencing done cheaply for a while now. Good to see that there has been success. Now if only the doctors get on the bandwagon and start diagnosing people based on an individuals genome.

I can't believe that there aren't more that voted chemistry. All of the chemistry majors I knew were just pyros.

How are positrons in lightning any different that upper atmosphere lightning such as sprites?

A werevamp would be cool.

Actually, I would consider using new software. Gentoo excels in the area of customized builds that meet only the needs of the hardware. When I used to build my system, my idea of bloat is anything that required GTK or QT. I installed Evilwm, and Ratpoison works really well too. I would also compile Enlightenment's Engage dock. The dependencies were fairly small. If you need a file browser, there are some that don't need GTK or QT, but I would prefer xterm as a file browser over those graphical versions. You may need to experiment some with the system to see what works for you as opposed to just taking someone's suggestion. Debian distros probably would work since they tend to support older hardware.

First Person Shooters ruined the game industry for me. The games are without plot and are entirely brain dead in the attempt to finish any sort of tasks. Adventure and RPG games have always been my favorite. I sure do miss the days of Hero's Quest/Quest for Glory games, which was a hybrid of RPG and adventure. Considering that Neverwinter Nights 2 is probably the last of the DND franchise to be made for some time, I am thinking that these games are also going the way of the dodo. Then we will all be stuck with the next FPS that is just point and shoot with new pretty graphics and no plot.

examines whether or not the brain was always abnormal before the person exhibited the behavior of a psychopath.

I add to your list Mrs. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Pitfall I and II, River Raid, Tank, and Frogger.

Not everyone that has brain surgery needs half of their brain removed. Lobectomies remove smaller portions of the brain. The portion of the skull that was opened is resealed using wire and the original skull piece.

Actually, the above mentioned method works on any desktop manager using the X server.
