Well, you could in theory live forever if you transitioned your consciousness into a computer. It will soon be possible to simulate a human brain in a computer (see the Blue Brain project http://bluebrain.epfl.ch ). Philosophical issues as

On the linux side of things, Virtualbox is a much better product than VMWare except for some issues with giving control of USB devices to the VM. It loads faster, and has a coherence mode similar to VMWare Fusion on Mac. The free solutions

The theory about the black death being the origin isn't correct. While it does provide resistance to the plague, studies have shown that it originated well before that time. However, people without CCR5 receptors are slightly more susceptib

I didn't read the paper thoroughly yet, but from a brief skimming this is the gist: The technique they used was very clever. The first step was to take what's called a zinc finger. This is a type of DNA binding protein that can specifically

"OS X gives you plenty of control, it just hides most of it in the terminal. For almost every use case, this is great, because for the 1 or 2 things you actually want to do, Apple has made it drop dead simple. The rest of the time, if you r

This is true, but a lot of OS X programs now require an installer as well, and offer no way for easy removal. The simplest examples I can think of are Microsoft Office and the various Adobe products. Certainly many applications can just be
