Looks like he had better hurry. All the high radiation level stuff is already sold out.
...
Am I the only one who's a little disturbed by that?

I'm confused, here. I'm certainly no biology expert, but I have taken a few courses, one of which the prof seemed to describe exactly how DNA folds. Indeed, it's spelled out in detail on this Wikipedia page on chromatin.

Is this information now obsolete?

Wouldn't this cause problems with perfusion? As I understand it, the arteries absorb some of the force of the heart's contraction due to their elasticity, and reuse it when they contract in turn to send the blood to more distal points in the body. It's been suggested that increased arterial stiffness is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, and it seems like this might cause a similar effect over time. If you're getting an artificial heart, perhaps this point is moot, and from the story, it sounds like she doesn't have a choice, but I wonder if it would be an issue.

This serves as well, I believe:
Monsanto v Schmeiser

Bear in mind that director Peter Jackson did "Dead Alive", as well as "Meet the Feebles". I never saw anyone taking a lawnmower to a crowd of rat-monkey zombies or a huge finale piece with the chorus line "I enjoy the act of sodomy" in LOTR.

I grant, I haven't yet seen the director's cut.

Are they real? I know there's a lot of knockoffs right now that are supposed to be indistinguishable from a distance. Wired ran a story about them very recently.

Sam Robert Jacob Christinson...Someone may confuse me with them

Sam Robert Jacob Christinson,
His name is my name too.
Whenever we go out
The people always shout,
"There goes Sam Robert Jacob Christinson."

What kind of LaTEX do you need to be writing? If it's just mathematics, and you're on linux or osx, you may want to consider LaTeXiT. It renders equations to pdf and image formats, one of which I know for sure you can embed in a google document. It also lets you maintain libraries of equations, so you can modify them later.

I used it recently, in conjunction with Apple keynote for the Mac. It was far easier to deal with just the math LaTEX subset, and only at points where I needed it. I imagine a non-technical audience may agree.

Laequed purports to do something similar for windows. Haven't tried it myself.

What was your AFSC, just out of curiosity? I searched quite a bit for programming positions while I was in as targets for cross training. It sounds like it's best that I wasn't successful, from how you're describing it.

This is a huge issue for me. There were some issues with hardware encoded locking with the 6th generation ipods (the ipod nano with the video screen). Prior iPods could be mounted and the music interchange performed with a variety of different linux software packages. These newer versions could be mounted and read, but writes just plain failed.

I had just finished purchasing a nano for my sister for christmas as well (I had previously set her up with an ubuntu box). She's having to use a roommate's XP box to do the transfer. This is an area where Apple has done far worse than just drop the ball, in my book. I've been an Apple fan for awhile, but they lost a lot of my goodwill when I discovered this move.

People who own Wiis wouldn't even think of looking for a Prince of Persia game... they're looking for sudoku or mini-games to shake the Wiimote around a bit.

I have to disagree with this last statement. I was just visiting a friend who owned a Wii, and had Splinter Cell: Double Agent for it. While by and large the games he owned would live up to your statement, it's not always true.

The game was fairly difficult as well, primarily due to usage of the Wii remote and the nunchuk adapter in conjunction to move and shoot. Far cry from most Wii games. I don't own a Wii (yet), but the fact that both types are available is very appealing to me, as that means I can enjoy this type of game myself, and still have the more out-of-the-box-intuitive games that everyone can enjoy.
