Say if it somehow crossbreeds with plant eating/killing bacteria? = End of all plant life?

'Twenty years ago if I asked you how many feet were in a mile (and you didn't know) you could go to a library and look it up. Ten years ago, you could go to a computer and google it. Today, you can literally ask your phone. It's not a stretch at all with the advent of wearable computing that coming soon - I can ask you that question and you'll instantly answer. ... How would you change if you had instant brain-level access to all information. How would you change if you were twice as smart as you are now. How about ten times as smart?

Flawed premise; Parroting data does not equate to intelligence. Intelligence requires comprehension of that data. You can google the WIKI for E8 theory and read it aloud but unless your next comment is,
"Oh, so if you picture a spherically inverted multifaceted poly-dimensional plexoid of random size, add in an elemental variable thermal/mass coefficient linking system based on the gravitational and magnetic field enhanced rate of change fluctuations of sub-atomic particles, then it all comes together like butter and honey on toast.", then I doubt you have any comprehension of what you have just read and are no smarter as a result of having read it.
Having instant access to all information will not result in higher IQ's, if anything it will lower them because important brain functions are being bypassed and will simply atrophy.
If this is universally the case with all higher lifeforms then we truly will never meet alien life but for reasons other than those listed in the article. They would have simply decided to stay home and articulate their pseudo-intellect with each other on some alien social network or other type of forum.
Oh crap, I just realized WE are the alien species other worlds are waiting on... eh, they can wait. I'm 2 "bloodthirsty" medals away from gold plating my M8A1 in BO2! :D

I installed PhSp_CS2 in Windows 8 x64, no problem. I did however change the path to the x86 folder, out of habit for non x64 apps, before reading about the Windows 7 issues here.

How about straight line winds, I recorded this from my truck;

I was in the earthquake also in OK. My first.

"NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed."

"Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models."

It's the same gene, you just have to avoid schools like, University of California, San Diego, and Harvard University as mentioned in TFA.

Please... now you're just being silly.

You're selling us short, more like 65%
You Sir are the minority.

Liberalism is a socially transmitted disease?

I did, now my computer pops up a message every 5 minutes saying "All your Base are belong to us!"

scroll down to my post, "romrix" and you will see this;

...why do scientists still involve/include "Time" in their equations when determining or extrapolating theories on relativity such as the proper mass of the universe? In short wouldn't it be prudent to omit time from the equation since "time" doesn't exist? I think, and this is only a theory of mine, that there is no such thing as time. What is referred to as time is, on a molecular/atomic scale, simply gravitational and/or magnetic field enhanced rate of change fluctuations in sub atomic particles. ie; decay rates altered by outside forces...
