People (science deniers) are always talking about how scientists are only interested in their grants and saying what the popular opinion is to get more grants. The truth is that you can't make a name for yourself in science (and thus get money) by supporting the popular opinion. You only win a Nobel Prize by challenging the status quo and messing up everyone's preconceived notions.

This guy is a hero despite not being able to do what he wanted because he looked at the data and said "Wait, what? This is BS."
"This is BS." is how you get things done in science.

Is there a source of pictures of it that actually show some detail and aren't messed up by a filter?

I believe that should be cathelicidin-AM. I also believe we have found another excuse to hasten the extinction of the panda.

I browse topics through Google reader on my phone and on my pc. Is there a way for the site to detect the browser and launch the right version? I dint want to have to have two feeds for the same site.

Killfile. The ability to use regex to score anything in any direction. The sweet sweet Killfile.

Every time I see a forum all I find is web interfaces that are trying to imitate newsgroups. But they do it so poorly. I would give anything to have half the functionality of newsgroups in a forum. I totally understand that a web interface for nntp would cause its own problems but I have to wonder if a web interface on a nntp backend might be easier to develop than these forums that are trying to replace it's functionality.

I have wanted Slashdot to offer up a NNTP server for more than 12 years. If they did I would gladly pay them a monthly fee.

## is used on a lot of phones (especially Motorolas) for manual programing so it would cause conflicts.

They can just call it Tee-niss for telephone. I know I am killing your joke. Sorry.

That is one advanced system if it can detect gender. I would have been happy if it could just identify the sex of each person. Gender identity is complicated stuff for humans. ~

In 2nd Edition we called it Color Spray.

Alltel wasn't "regional". Rural would be more accurate. Can't really call something that was licensed in states from OR to CT "regional". While they only had 800,000 customers they also were the number one CDMA roaming partner for the carriers. I don't know for sure but I think they may have made more off their roaming agreements than their customer base. That was a major reason that VZW bought them.

Sprint buying T-Mobile would earn Sprint the title as dumbest company ever. Their networks aren't compatible. It would be Sprint Nextel all over again.

you forgot bundles of compacted compact disks littering the alleyways. = close enough

The pictures had to be shared with the cops. Doing otherwise would have been destroying or withholding evidence.
Don't you see, the cops /had/ to look at those pictures. If they didn't we would accuse them of being incompetent.

he is correct. The Hitchhikers Guide shows us there is no mone, no people, no sex and therfore no users.

For a second I thought I was watching Jon Stewart do another montage of politicians doing the "stay on message, offer the same sound bite they gave us in our talking points memo" shtick. Then I remembered these were future competitors of Google.
