@Canoehead: Did you just miss the sarcasm, or did I? Questions, questions.

@ajendus: When you cut a file in Windows and then forget to paste it before cutting another, the file isn't lost. Instead it's "pasted back" to where it was. That's because it isn't actually a cut and paste operation, but a sort of delayed move operation. The implementation wins hands down over the OS X one (or…

@puzz: The trouble is that you can't insert a genome into a simulated environment and wait for it to assemble a sentient, simulated organism without knowing every parameter of that environment. The environment of the cell is indeed in part its external space, as you point out. But it's also its internals — the…

@melonade97: Land airplanes in your face.

@mtfmuffins: *whistle*

The Tragic Macpad.

@OCEntertainment: The iPhone will do contact/email/calendar syncing with any exchange server, including Googles. I agree Apple needs to deploy its own cloud services and that MobileMe is outrageously overpriced, but that's precisely because it offers no additional value over what you can already get for free from…

@Guard: The chat doesn't work in the browser — other than that it's what you'd expect from Facebook at 1024x768, which may or may not be a lot. However, besides fixing broken functionality, an app also loads faster since it comes with graphics and whatnot stored locally, which makes a difference of a few seconds on…

@Jbondkicks: BAM, you score.

@cudthecrud: Enough to make anyones day, really. Oh, and you'd probably be exposed to more free superoxide radicals by means of CYP activity, which might give you any combination of superpowers and cancer.

@B_NiN3: You're partly right, but mostly confusing things. The majority of ethanol metabolization is done by a class of enzymes called alcohol dehydrogenases, which convert ethanol into acetaldehyde. This is in turn converted into ascetic acid and, further down the metabolic pathway, finally into acetyl-coenzyme A…

Having read the article, it seems rather implausible. The idea it puts forward is that since MEOS (the Microsomal Ethanol Oxidation System, which is responsible for a small part of the metabolism of ethanol into acetadehyde) depends on oxygen, increased intracellular oxygen levels should also increase CYP450 activity…
