Affinity capture. Affinity capture is a technique in molecular biology used to isolate desired compounds based on their chemical properties and a solid substrate. Commonly, plates out of solid materials such as glass are coated with various reagents to allow for covalent bonding of a capturing molecule such as an antibody. Afterwards, a solvent containing a desired compound for isolation is poured onto the plate, and the compound binds to the receptors on the plate (hence the capturing of the compound). Washing the plate and removing the desired compound completes the purification process.

Applications
Affinity capture has been used to isolate proteins by means of binding a peptide sequence to the solid substrate, thus allowing for protein capture. The process has also been examined for potential automation, but the unique circumstances for any given experiment may impede reproducibility.

Traveller Supplement 7: Traders and Gunboats. Traveller Supplement 7: Traders and Gunboats is a role-playing game supplement for Traveller published by Game Designers' Workshop in 1980.

Contents
Traders and Gunboats is a supplement that provides deck plans and describes eight major types of ships and four small craft that are used in the Imperium. It also gives explanations for deck-plan symbology, the strength of bulkheads and walls, and how various portals work. It includes a series of starship encounter tables that provide over sixty possible results.

Reception
In the April 1981 edition of The Space Gamer (Issue No. 38), William A. Barton recommended the supplement, saying, "Traders & Gunboats''''s assets far outweigh its few liabilities, making it a work of value to all Travellerites."

In the July 1981 edition of Dragon (Issue 51), Tony Watson concurred, stating, "Once again, GDW has produced an interesting and useful supplement for Traveller that should add considerably to any campaign."

In the October-November 1981 edition of White Dwarf (Issue No. 27), Robert McMahon called the supplement "a useful addition to the Traveller'' library."

Andy and Bill's law. Andy and Bill's law, occasionally known as The Great Moore's Law Compensator is the assertion that new software will tend to consume any increase in computing power that new hardware can provide. The law originates from a humorous one-liner told in the 1990s during computing conferences: "what Andy giveth, Bill taketh away." The phrase is a riff upon the business strategies of former Intel CEO Andy Grove and former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. Intel and Microsoft had entered into a lucrative partnership in the 1980s through to the 1990s, and Intel chipsets became the de facto standard for PCs running Microsoft Windows, giving way to the term "Wintel". Despite this profitable arrangement, Grove felt that Gates was not making full use of the powerful capabilities of Intel chips and that Gates was in fact refusing to upgrade his software to achieve optimum hardware performance. Grove's frustration with the dominance of Microsoft software over Intel hardware became public, spawning the humorous catchphrase, and later, the law. In more recent years, the law has also been stated "what Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away," foregoing the metonymy of the original.

International Committee for Robot Arms Control. The International Committee for Robot Arms Control (ICRAC) is a "not-for-profit association committed to the peaceful use of robotics in the service of humanity and the regulation of robot weapons." It is concerned about the dangers that autonomous military robots, or lethal autonomous weapons, pose to peace and international security and to civilians in war.

The international non governmental organisation was founded in 2009 by Noel Sharkey, Jurgen Altmann, Peter M. Asaro, and Robert Sparrow. Sharkey is its chairman. The committee is composed of people involved in robotics technology, robot ethics, international relations, international security, arms control, international humanitarian law, international human rights law, and public campaigns.

Lethal autonomous weapons are being developed that will be able to select and engage targets without human oversight. ICRAC has argued at the United Nations (UN) over the ramifications of such weapons and for them to be banned by including them under the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW).

ICRAC is on the steering committee of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
