Evolutionary biologist Neil Shubin writes: "Within each of us — our skeletons, our behavior, and deep within our DNA — lurks our distant past. Make the relevant comparisons and we find that our hands resemble fossil fish fins, our heads are organized like long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genomes look and function...

Driving through any neighborhood I'm instantly immersed in whatever is popular or should be popular there--maybe twenty years ago. That's perhaps the most...

I added a bit just now for clarity, and a couple more quotes, but other than that here it is: ---------------------------------------------------------- Chance gave us humans the...

The Voyager update project
To initiate the research of the project, we researched what Machinic Phylym essentially "is", and how it pertains to the recreation of the voyager golden disk. The difficulty in this research is that, in itself, Machinic Phylum cannot be defined as clearly as one would hope. Nonetheless, we were able to define, on a somewhat vague and...

This program is still full of bugs. Though it is written in Java it appears to work only on certain windows machines. The major improvement of this release is that it opens with a list of commands printed on the screen ( which can be turned on and off by pressing '/' or '?' ). Audio, Video, modes have been disabled in this version because they...
