    A very simple, but very creative application of evolution! Try it with your images. You can read about the first implementation of this kind here: http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/08/12/09/0238252.shtml

    his day to day research experience must be relatively unusual highlights include: - Bust size and hitchhiking: a field study. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18380130 'The effect of a joke on tipping when it is delivered at the same time as the bill' http://nicolas.gueguen.free.fr/Articles/JASP2002.pdf "Love is in the air": Effects of Songs With Romantic Lyrics on Compliance to a Courtship Request. http://nicolas.gueguen.free.fr/Articles/PsyMusic2010.PDF and the mostly confusing 'Presence of Various Figurines on a Restaurant Table and Consumer Choice: Evidence for an Associative Link.'

    "Richard Arvey, the head of the NUS business school's department of management and organisation, has been looking into precisely how genes interact with different types of environment to create such things as entrepreneurial zeal and the ability to lead others."...They are doing experiments with twins...I want to try with my twin!!!:))

    Nah... Marek's recognition reward definitively goes to: "Microbiological Laboratory Hazard of Bearded Men" (...) WHO ATTENDED THE CEREMONY: Manuel S. Barbeito was unable to travel, due to health reasons. :D

    The page itself should be awarded with the ugliest layout. I have suggested to our management the implementation of the random promotion. Perhaps it is the future of democracy: representatives chosen at random.
  • LeopoldS on 15 Oct 10
     
    you mean "your management" at your current place?
  • jmlloren on 15 Oct 10
     
    Yes, it is not what is written? Indeed, it is already implemented. You are talking with the director of the Institute. I have been unlucky with the toss.

    "which raises the possibility - theoretically at least - that the machine could, with some modifications, build a copy of itself." - very interesting way to say that the machine can't build a copy of itself... But generally, this is ubercool :-) When you're getting one?
