Forget stitches and old-school sutures. The Air Force is funding scientists who are using nano-technology and lasers to seal up wounds at a molecular level.

Massive thanks to michael37 on the Ubuntu Forums for this timesaver.

These findings suggest that dietary intake of menaquinones, which is highly determined by the consumption of cheese, is associated with a reduced risk of incident and fatal cancer.

I just know some of you will find this useful.

I was able to resolve the problem by playing around with the settings. It seems if you open the “Network connectivity” settings by clicking on the menu button (the button left of the track wheel button) while on main menu.

The Mobile Network shows as “Fledge Simulated Network”. But if you toggle the Network Technology to from Global to any other value and then back to Global the above value gets changed to “Default CDMA Network” and now every thing starts working.

Thanks @sandy_ptc. This was a bugger to find, so figured I’d pop it up on the Posterous.

Air: Or, Have Not Have

by Geoff Ryman

Outstanding, socially-centered science fiction. “Air” is essentially in-mind net access, and it’s coming to a corner of the globe that has never even enjoyed web access. Great springtime read.

Scientists from Buffalo, Cleveland, and Oklahoma City made a huge step toward making the blind see, and they did it by using a form of gene therapy that does not involve the use of modified viruses. In a research report published in the April 2010 print issue of The FASEB Journal, scientists describe how they used a non-viral, synthetic nanoparticle carrier to improve and save the sight of mice with retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited disease characterized by progressive vision loss and eventual blindness.

Massive change in approach to be delivering genes without a retrovirus. Additionally, being able to repair retinal tissue genetically is huge: it will be exciting to see if this approach can be duplicated with similar degenerative conditions (e.g. Alzheimer’s).

Let me start with a little background info. I manage a computer lab with 85 workstations. I ocassionally use either RDP or VNC to do some maintenance. I have no problem doing this from windows, but I wanted my lonely Ubuntu workstation to be able to do the same thing. After about a week of research I am finally able to ping my windows workstations via their Netbios names. Woohoo!!

All you have to do is:

edit /etc/nsswitch.conf

change the line that says

Quote:

hosts: files dns

to this:

Quote:

hosts: files wins dns

(order does matter)

finally, you need to install winbind

Code:

sudo apt-get install winbind

that’s all that it took for me.

now ping <hostname> works great. And I can finally use the built-in terminal server client with hostnames instead of IP addresses.

@javiwwweb, you are magical.
