Also if they don't use industrial fertilizers, which rely upon fossil fuels for nitrogen fixation. Our most efficient method of doing that is the Haber-Bosch process, and the most economically viable form of it happens to use a shitload of natural gas. Until we move away from that crutch we're still burning fossil fuels, albeit disguised by a few more layers of transformation.

Eh, it's not as cool as you might think. I've found a screenshot of their software interface, looks pretty boring.

Let's not be hasty here. Emmerich has done a lot of movies, some of them have to be good.

*takes a quick stroll over to IMDB*

Well, shit. Guess we're boned, eh?

What does that mean for vegetarians?

The analogue for vegetarians would be maize, arguably the most successful species in the history of human civilization. To bring this conversation fork back on topic, it's interesting to note that modern corn is the result of several mutations that make the plant much less viable in the wild, and dependent upon humans for survival. Even with an engineered "kill switch" there's no guarantee that these artificial organisms won't encounter some other microorganism that finds it beneficial to keep 'em around and figures out some way to do so.

The fact that someone would do all those things is in itself more data about that person's habits. The real trick is to selectively limit your audit trail so that you still appear in the middle of the distribution curve. Like schooling fish and flocking birds, the best form of anonymity is to surround yourself with a few million things just like yourself.

Sadly, the end result of this sort of behavior is that Netflix recommends I watch Transformers 2. A high price to pay, but such are the wages of freedom.

Fucking retards holding back progress.

Herd immunity issues aside, I'm all for the stupid reducing their evolutionary fitness. Natural selection and all that.

Get noise-canceling headphones, skip deodorant and don't shower for a few weeks. Instant personal zone.

I can only assume that's what the guy sitting next to me on my last cross-country flight was thinking.

3.5mm headphone adapter (first HTC android phone to move away from mini-usb only design)

The HTC Hero (Sprint version, I don't know about the European model) has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

No need to guess, from TFA:

"The National Children's Hospital interest in myostatin is not to create super strong children, but to help those children whose muscles have already atrophied. Muscular Dystrophy (MD) affects thousands of children in the US who slowly lose muscle and rarely survive into adulthood. Follistatin gene therapy could serve as a method to extend their lives or perhaps even reverse the symptoms of their conditions. Likewise, the eldery are susceptible to several diseases that lead to a loss of muscle strength and coordination. By blocking myostatin, we may all be able to live with the strength of our youth even as we age into our 80s."

The "Feats of Strength" are much more telling. It looks like he made this character at 10-23-2008. He must of gotten a refer a friend because he jumped up to 80 within that month AND "technically" completed the game by the end of that year

The achievement system went live on 10/23/08, so anything he had accomplished prior to that date would have registered as completed then. Note the multiple world event achievements from 2007 in that list as well as Atiesh, which would have been impossible to complete in such a short time frame.

Ya, it really sucks that I have to buy special Apple brand BT headsets to work with their products.

You mean like this sort of thing? Yes, I realize that isn't referring to a BT headset, but it is a case of Apple locking down peripherals.

GP might have been a bit on the trollish side, but you're not exactly helping your own cause by responding in kind.

What are your sources for this? I've got a 45' HDMI run going from a wall-mounted projector into my attic, spanning my living room, and dropping down into the opposite wall to my receiver. No problems whatsoever, even at 1080p/60.

If you're seeing problems below 15', I'd consider the quality of your cables/output source rather than the HDMI standard.

Ease up on the throttle, buddy. GP was likely contrasting his current "real" projects with his "fake" school projects, not making a comment about other people's IDEs/projects.

Probably has something to do with the length of time necessary to complete Clinical Trials for FDA (or equivalent regulatory agency) approval. Given that this process is still in the research phase and has not yet progressed to a testable drug state, 10 years sounds about right.

Sounds like a good application for something like this. An always-on RF transponder would be an excellent case for the sort of steady power draw that nuclear batteries are good at providing.
