1) Vote for third party candidate who best reflects your own policies

2) Get a fascist instead, because you don't have ranked choice voting and your 3rd party vote has as much power as a newspaper poll, and you didn't want to vote for the "lesser evil"

3) ???

4) Ranked Choice Voting yay!

Comment Asteroid Mining. (Score 1) 108

This only begins to make sense when you don't have to lift all the raw materials out of the gravity well anyway.

Think asteroid mining. Then think refining, manufacturing, assembly, QA, and everything else that needs to be done before the parts for your spaceship can turn up at the dry dock.

South Korean Scientists Create Glowing Dog 139

cultiv8 writes "A research team from Seoul National University (SNU) said the genetically modified female beagle has been found to glow fluorescent green under ultraviolet light if given a doxycycline antibiotic. The researchers, who completed a two-year test, said the ability to glow can be turned on or off by adding a drug to the dog's food. 'The creation of Tegon opens new horizons since the gene injected to make the dog glow can be substituted with genes that trigger fatal human diseases,' the news agency quoted lead researcher Lee Byeong-chun as saying. He said the dog was created using the somatic cell nuclear transfer technology that the university team used to make the world's first cloned dog, Snuppy, in 2005."
