If you have a full strand of Dinosaur DNA would it be possible to make it living and hatch a dinosaur? Or would it be a failure? Could you use a bird or alligator, for replacein
Scientists have found mammoth blood, and are planning to   How does one go from having its blood to a full blown living mammoth? Is it possible?    Why does it matter if the blood is frozen or not? Suppose one found dinosaur blood, could one clone a dinsosaur (as in say 'Jurassic Park')?
Why is Steam only showing me "Buy" instead of "Play" option for a game shared via Family Sharing? I thought the whole point of Family Sharing was so that multiple copies of the game didn't have to be bought. I have no problem downloading the game, but instead of "Play", my only option once it's downloaded is "Buy". Am I missing something? Why do diamonds shine? I have always wondered why diamonds shine. Can anyone tell me why? Time indicator is shown as "%a %H:%M" in the center of the top bar.  How do I move it back to the right where it belongs, and make it include the full date and time ("%Y-%m-%d %s %H:%M")? Workaround for Android 4.4 not being able to write to SD cards? Yesterday I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S4 to Android 4.4 KitKat and had the bad surprise that it cannot write to my SD card anymore... I know this problem is widely documented everywhere, but has any workaround been found for it yet? (Other than removing the card physically from the phone and opening it on my PC) Also, because of the KNOX flag I can't downgrade to 4.3...  (PS: Rooted or not, it makes no difference) Proficiency with specific weapons vs 'simple and martial'? In the PHB on pg. 146 it states that there are two weapon categories in which the players can be proficient: simple and martial.  As per  answer to another question, being proficient in either category makes the players character proficient in using all weapons of the respective category.   However in the race descriptions the players are given proficiency for specific weapons. Dwarfs, for example, have the trait Dwarven Combat Training giving proficiency with battleaxes, handaxes, throwing hammers and warhammers.   How do the two types of proficiencies interact with each other? Best practices for making a WordPress site "movable"? I'm planning to buy a domain and install a WordPress site on it at a web-hosting company.  But first I'll need to iron-out some bugs...  I got a working LAMP-stack at my home-computer, so I'm thinking about first installing my site locally - off the Internet.  I'll be mostly tweaking and making "test-posts" to check that everything works, but I'll probably also make some posts I'd like to keep when I move the site and take it online.  When I'm done chasing bugs; I guess I'll just package the public_html|www directory-tree and upload it to the web-hosting company, and also export the database from my home-computer to the web-hosting.    What I'm wondering if there are some "best practices", some do-s and don't-s, some major pits to take note of?    For example, how can ensure the smooth transition of domain-name in posts and links as such, from localhost to whatever-i-end-up-buying.com (I know from previous attempt of running WordPress at my home computer, that this didn't always work quite well...). Network account problems with mac server OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard Okay the situation is this.   Yesterday my company changed our dns server, because our former one, was too unstable to work with. anyway today i went to one of our mac server, because it needed to be configured because of the new dns server. So i tried logging in to the local admin, because it couldn't find the network account server, because of the domain shift, but it just froze when trying to log in.  Okay so I went down to our server room to get a look at it locally. I tried logging in to the local admin, but i froze again. So i tried pulled the network cable out, and suddenly i could login just fine.  I tried logging in via vnc once again and it just hanged. better than it freezing, but still a problem. so i logged in locally. went to system preferences to edit the path to the network account server, so the mac server could find it once more, but then it just froze the system preferences when i went to login options.   So i restarted back and forth some time and finally got to edit the path to the network account server, but when i typed it in, the mac server just say that the network account server is not responding although all other computers, both linux and mac, are using it just fine. I tried updating, rebooting without the network. tried FQDN for the network account server, it's ip, it's hostname nothing work.  Does anyone have any clue to what is going on? cause I really have no idea what to do, other than maybe reinstall the system, which i would like to avoid if possible. Are global variables thread-safe in Flask? How do I share data between requests? Compute $\Gamma(2.7)$ All I know of the Gamma function is $$\Gamma(\alpha) = \int\limits_{0}^{\infty}x^{\alpha - 1}e^{-x}\text{ d}x$$ and the recursive formula $$\Gamma(\alpha) = (\alpha-1)\Gamma(\alpha - 1)\text{.}$$ A friend asked me to try to find $\Gamma(2.7)$. I assume this involves complex analysis, which I have absolutely no background on (except for the basic Euler formula). Using Wolfram, I found that  $$\Gamma(2.7) = e^{0.434821}$$ which suggests to me perhaps writing out $e^{-x}$ as a Taylor series: $$\Gamma(\alpha) = \int\limits_{0}^{\infty}x^{\alpha - 1}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{\infty}\dfrac{(-x)^{i}}{i!}\text{ d}x$$ but alas, this doesn't look helpful.  How does one derive that $\Gamma(2.7) = e^{0.434821}$? Seating of $n$ people with tickets into $n+k$ chairs with 1st person taking a random seat "$n$ music lovers have reserved seats in a theater containing a total of $n+k$ seats ($k$ seats are unassigned). The first person who enters the theater, however, lost his seat assignment and chooses a seat at random. Subsequently, people enter the theater one at a time and sit in their assigned seat unless it is already occupied. If it is, they choose a seat at random from the remaining empty seats. What is the probability that person $n$, the last person to enter the theater, finds their seat already occupied?"  I could do this problem for small specific values of $n$ and $k$ but as they grow the expressions seem to get really messy really quick with no discernible pattern. How would one solve this problem? Determining Min - Max within zip code (statistics by area)? I'm new to ArcGIS Desktop. I have created a layer representing zip codes and overlayed it with a layer containing some data points. I want to find the min and max value of the data points in each zip code. Currently, I am manually checking the values if all the data points in each zip code but this is becoming very time-consuming and cumbersome.   Is there a faster way to do this? This picture is a part of a table i am using, the terms subcases are vertically written but i cant center them vertically also in the next columns terms like A, B, etc are also not vertically centered. I made this table using tabulary package a.

What is the sum to infinity of the series: $$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}+ \frac{2}{8} + \frac{3}{16} + \frac{5}{32} +\frac{8}{64} + \frac{13}{128} +\frac{21}{256} +\frac{34}{512}+ \frac{55}{1024} + \cdots$$  Now, I solved this using an infinite geometric matrix series (incorporating the matrix version of the relation $a_n= \frac{a_{n-1}}{2}+ \frac{a_{n-2}}{4}$), and my students, after much hinting on my part, googled the necessary string to stumble across Binet's formula (which allows one to split the series into two simple, if rather messy, geometrics). Both of these are good methods, but neither really seems plausible for a challenge set for 15-18 year olds under exam conditions. So how is one supposed to do it? I am trying to get Juju working on Windows 8 but I am running in to some errors when trying to get juju to see my ssh keys:  C:\Users\username&gt; juju bootstrap error: error parsing environment "azure":     read C:\Users\user\SkyDrive\Documents\Azure\ssh\: The handle is invalid.   I've added a public key I generated with putty to the directory above called azure  My environments.yaml file has this in it:  authorized-keys-path: C:\Users\user\SkyDrive\Documents\Azure\ssh\   Any ideas? Prove that if b is coprime to 6 then $b^2 \equiv 1 $ (mod 24) Let $\gcd(b,6) = 1$. Prove that $b^2 \equiv 1 $ (mod 24).  Now I have that as $\gcd(b,6) = 1$, we know that  $3\nmid b $ and $2\nmid b$ (else the GCD would be 3 or 2 resp.)  So as $2\nmid b$, $b$ must be odd. Hence $b^2$ is also odd.  Then I'm not sure where to take it from here? Maybe I've gone down the wrong path to start with, and should be looking more along the lines of the Chinese Remainder Theorem? I'm not sure. Force newlines with cat wildcard printing I want to use cat with wildcards in bash in order to print multiple small files (every file is one sentence) to standard output. However, the separate file contents are not separated by a newline, which I'd like to for ease of reading.  How can I add a file delimiter of some sort to this command? Durrett Example 1.9 - Pairwise independence does not imply mutual independence? The example in question is from Rick Durrett's "Elementrary Probability for Applications", and the setup is something like this:     Let $A$ be the event "Alice and Betty have the same birthday", $B$ be the event "Betty and Carol have the same birthday", and $C$ be the event "Carol and Alice have the same birthday".   Durrett goes on to demonstrate that each pair is independent, since for example,   $P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)$.   However, he concludes that $A, B$, and $C$ are not independent, since   $P(A \cap B \cap C) = \frac{1}{365^2} \neq \frac{1}{365^3} = P(A)P(B)P(C)$.  I understand the reasoning here, and that one can generally show that arbitrary events $X$ and $Y$ are not independent by showing that $P(X\cap Y) \neq P(X)P(Y)$.   I am a little new to probability, though, and don't understand why exactly $P(A \cap B \cap C) = \frac{1}{365^2}$.   My progress so far:   I do see why $P(A) = P(B) =P(C) = \frac{1}{365}$, and thus why $P(A)P(B)P(C) = \frac{1}{365^3}$.  It seems like the sample space $\Omega = \{ (a, b, c) \mid a,b,c \in [365] \}$ -- i.e., all of the possible triples of numbers from 1 to 365, where 1 denotes January 1st, 2 denotes January 2nd, etc. From that, I can conclude $|\Omega| = 365^3$, but I'm not sure where to go from here.   It seems like once a single birthday is chosen, the rest are completely determined if they're all equal to each other - is this a good direction to go in?
