Awesome project. The whole genome synthesized in a machine. (But still implanted into a pre-existing cell with all the various machinery ready).

Well, the good news is that the recent credit reform legislation already addressed this issue. At least for debit cards, but I think for checks too? All these "overdraft" protection programs are now opt-in instead of automatic so you no longer can get a $35 fee to cover your $4 latte that put you over, for example.

Fox is accused of bias because people can't seem to seperate the commentary shows from the news broadcasts. O'Riley and Hannity are not news shows, and don't pretend to be news shows... they are talk shows.

Thats ONE of many studies that have shown liberal media bias.

Did you read what the study actually was? It's kind of a silly measure. They just added up the number of times a station referred to one of the typical political thinktanks. Considering that the typical news report these days consist of "Important Person said X" and then giving the response from the opposition group's thinktank in order to provide "balance" and that republicans were in charge for 8/10 of the time of the study, I am not impressed. And it doesn't even measure the main sources of bias - omission of stories, the cutting choices of montages and the subtle, snide comments the anchors make about the stories during transitions. Fox is by far the most slanted organization calling itself "news" out there.

BBC and NPR are the best.

Anyone who remembers me going to be there? Wife is out of town and I'm bored at home.

This is the classic, old "we won't yet understand [X]...therefore god!"

And it still doesn't work. Just because we don't have an explanation does not mean you can just substitute any unsubstantiated claim in there.

(I don't know if the text tone comes off as mean, but it's not intended to be. I enjoy discussions like this!)

ehhhh...I think it's still just another method to create male hormone levels in females. it's interesting that the ovarian cells converted types, but I still doubt you could use this method to convert secondary sex characteristics like genitals

Counter-strike+rum+Combichrist. Also, some plumbing in the house.

Congrats!

Phee and I got married October of 2006.

Board incest!

I mean.........congrats to you too! :D

Although I don't really recommend *weddings* to anyone. Getting married is fine, but weddings....ugh.

Wondering what SomeDanGuy has been up to.

I got married in August! How 'bout THAT? Also: researching epilepsy.

Drinking a "Dr. Gay" (Dr. Pepper + Mount Gay Rum) and playing Counter-Strike.

Also, remembering that DGN exists and is cool. (And being impressed at an on-going thread started in 2005.)

Is this thread seriously on the 11th page? You all need more time-consuming jobs. I'm serious.

I watched But I'm a Cheerleader, which reminded me I like Clea Duvall a lot, especially when she's playing a hard-ass

My mom just typed "omg..." on instant messenger to me. That is some sort of bizarre first.

Old people these days, and their intarweb slang!

Cleaning more than I've ever cleaned before! I'm having a pre-party here tonight before the school Halloween party.

Sometimes I think "How do people have such high post counts??". But then I read threads like this

Sooth & I are going to be doing shots too, if y'all care to join us.

I just had a week of solid exams, so assuming I don't die tonight (which is possible), I will be there Saturday.

I just spent Friday night studying until midnight

A super duper hardcore diet pill. =)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

......only in the way that all language is code for concepts.

I'm making pizza from scratch. The dough is rising in the sun right now. Maybe I should declare this "pretend it's 1850 day".

I could swear some people were paying a little TOO much attention when the prof started talking about treatments for chlamydia...

Trying to clear my mind of all the diseased genitalia I saw in class today :blink
