CNN: NASA Discovery Reveals There May Have Been Life on Mars (cnn.com) 100
"News from Mars," CNN reported Friday. "Not just that water was there, perhaps millions of years ago, but also these organic compounds."
In an interview with the head of Earth Sciences collections at the UK's Natural History Musem, CNN asked the million-dollar question. "How much more likely, if you believe so, that that makes it that there was life on Mars at some time." A: So what we've found with data that's come back from the Rover and has been studied over the last few months is that we see igneous rocks -- so these are rocks that have been formed through volcanic processes -- which have also been affected by the action of liquid water.
And that's really really interesting and exciting, because liquid water is one of the key ingredients you need for life to start. So if you've got the chances of life ever being on Mars, you'd need to have somewhere that had liquid water for at least a period of time. And we've got good evidence for that.
Now that's combined with the fact that we're seeing, using instruments like SHERLOCK, which is an instrument that I'm involved with, also the presence of organic molecules. And organic molecules are chemical molecules made of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sometimes bits of sulfur, sometimes bits of phosphorous, and maybe some added-up things. And those are really really important, because you need organic molecules for life to start.
And the other thing that's really interesting about organic molecules is they can actually be sort of fossil chemical evidence of potential past life.

In addition to the feature branching you could also look into feature toggles. A feature toggle is a variable used in a conditional statement to guard code blocks, with the aim of either enabling or disabling the feature code in those blocks for testing or release. While this approach would not prevent unapproved code from being in a release, it would act as a gatekeeper to determine if a specific feature should be exposed to the end user.
I however am not sure how you could address your concern for the database

I wrote this message hoping that someone would read this and come up with a solution. I could always myself one, but with my schooling and lack of time I am unable to start any projects. Wouldn't it be simple for them just to add ssl support to there websites, they could even use a self sign certificate, at least it would still work at some extent.
Journal Journal: Where are the ssl access to the torrent search engines? 1
For the past couple of years ISPs have been putting more and more pressure on the bittorrent protocal and the search engines that are used to index the torrents. In some case it would have been due to copyright pressure, but in most cases it has been there way to reduce the amount of bandwidth used on there networks.
Since the beginning of September of this year, Etisalat, the internet service provider of the united arab emirates has been blocking access to all of the known and reputable torren
