clipper's remarks: We all now have access to a vast amount of research and data on the net. a Few people would have absolutely no hope, but the networks being created on the web, are places where anyone can comment, or include findings, so the pieces can start coming together more quickly. It isn't what we know that is important. it's what we do with the knowledge

Science needs to break free of its power-brokers and embrace a participatory web-based culture to boost innovation, says one expert.

John Wilbanks, of Science Commons - a project of Creative Commons - says the plethora of machine-generated data, that characterises today's scientific activity, needs the power of open networks to make sense of it properly.

"The value of any individual piece of knowledge is about the value of any individual piece of lego," Wilbanks said in a keynote address to the Open Access and Research Conference held in Brisbane last week.

"It's not that much until you put it together with other legos."

He says the ability to connect knowledge brings scientific revolutions. For example Watson and Crick's breakthrough on the structure of DNA involved them reading all the scientific papers on nucleotide bonding and encoding it in the form of a physical model, says Wilbanks.

"For example, we have 45,000 papers about one protein or one gene," says Wilbanks.

Space Herpes is the final Cylon on Battlestar Galactica

clipper's remarks: hee! It's worse than Desperate Housewives!

Oh those crazy Battlestar Galactica survivorsand their wild sex parties. It seems like nothing gets them hotter than the near-total annihilation of the human race. The BSG "yearbook" that the cast and crew received at the show's wrap party includes a "frak tree" showing who's had sex with whom. You can't see it, because it contains spoilers for the show's final episodes. But brilliant fan Crazyvictoria compiled her own glorious version. Plus there's a peek inside the BSG yearbook with LEGO and Simpsonized BSG characters.

So far, we've only gotten to see a glimpse of one call sheet from the actual yearbook, and now someone has leaked a shot of the BSG characters in LEGO and Simpson form.

But seriously — what happens when the crew runs out of protection? I need futuristic safer sex explained. Also I can't believe that I almost forgot that Starbuck hooked up with Baltar (and called him Lee in the sack.) Kobol's Last Gleaming was a great two-parter.

clipper's remarks: My 9 year old decided that she wants to be a Lego for Halloween. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to make a Lego costume since I know they don't sell them, and if they do it would be like a bajillion dollars for a few hours

clipper's remarks: I'd hate to speculate the purpose of these, but the way things are going I wouldn't doubt they are for civil unrest.. If you researched the last RNC you will know that they arrested any un-embedded reporters such as Amy Goodman and crew on bogus charges, but they were among a few people that were arrested by POLICE < in all black uniforms with no ID just POLICE! It is said that the POLICE used in such a violation of our rights will be blackwater types from foreign nations.

clipper's remarks: Lego artist Sean Kenney and a Manhattan grade schooler spent three years building a 60" x 66" x 14" replica (1:150 scale) using 45,700 bricks. As you can see, the result of their efforts so far is impressive. When completed, the stadium will be populated with tons of miniature spectators and vendors.
