Just because someones genetic code predicts hes going to die from a heart attack in 20 years doesn't mean he won't get hit by a bus tomorrow.

What if you have a genetic predisposition to getting hit by buses?

I really don't even like my employer taking a urine sample once every few years for random drug tests, but I do it simply because I like my job.

It's because of people like you that employers like that are still able to find people to work for them. Stand up for yourself!

The odds are always in favor of the house, and if you don't like that, then don't bet.

The employer is betting the insurance company here. The employee has no choice in this case.

This could progress to the point where an employer may not hire someone because they "failed" a genetic test. At that point, I wonder if the employee gets the choice to tell the employer that they don't have to pay for disability insurance in order to get the job.

I was just getting in the bath to do some ironing, and I almost forgot to take off my clothes.

And sure, it has a throttle, but where are the brakes?

From the article:

Worryingly, there are no brakes and it seems the only way to perform an emergency stop is to fall off. But then, it's designed to be used on beaches and has a top speed of just 22mph, so you're unlikely to hurt yourself too much.

That does sound dangerous. 22 mph is a pretty fast clip. You could really get hurt. Try jumping out of your buddy's car at 22mph this weekend and see if you make it to work monday.

That being said, I think I have to get one. My goped has lost its charm.

Incidentally, if you've ever bought a blank tape you've subsidized the RIAA. What's so different about doing the same for CD-R(W)? Nothing.

I was pissed about it the first time, and I'm not going to change my mind this time. I should not be forced to pay a tax to some organization unrelated to either myself or the maufacturer of the media.

There's no reason to let the second violation of some rule go unnoticed because of previous violations.

Where do I sign up?

I would suggest France, Cuba, or China.

Don't proteins get filtered out in your body anyway?

I think it gets denatured when it hits the acid and stuff in your stomach.

Also, there was a quite fitting quote at the bottom:

"What the scientists have in their briefcases is terrifying." -- Nikita Khrushchev

Their milk looks and tastes like the real thing, but once its proteins are filtered and purified into a fine white powder, they can be spun into tough thread.

1.8 Provide a mechanism to allow authentication information to expire.

Many browsers allow configuration to save HTTP authentication [RFC2616, RFC2617] information ("remember my password"). They should also allow users to "flush" that authentication information on request. For instance, the user may wish to leave the user agent running but tell it to forget the password to access the user's bank account.

Wrong: Most user agents consider that authentication information (e.g., password) provided by a user for a server/realm pair during a session is immutable for the duration of the session.

I don't think I'm the only one that finds it quite annoying to have to exit and restart my browser in order to make it forget my HTTP authemtication information. I believe Netscape and IE both have this problem.

About that CyWIG thing: It seems to me that these devices could be used as a cheap wireless LAN access device. Plug one into your machine with internet connectivity, and plug the other into your laptop. Make them route your Internet traffic for you. It will probably take some hacking on it to get it to work, but I think the possibility is there. Any idea what kind of bandwith these can get between them?

And if the only thing separating a toy from an organiser is a diary, address book and notepad then I'd say that Palm better watch out.

Perhaps Palm does need to watch out. I'm not sure if the threat is from Cybiko or not, though. Although the Cybiko has the features you mentioned, I don't think it's as quick or easy to use as my palm. In my opinion, it is not appropriate to carry around as a replacement for my Palm Pilot. For about a quarter of the price, though, it may be close.

regarding the expandability, there is a slot in the botton of the cybiko to insert upgrade cards. I think the only one available is a 1MB memory upgrade. (that helps). The slot looks a lot like PCMCIA, so perhaps soon we can start sticking all kinds of stuff in there.

There is a linux C SDK for the Cybiko, so as you mentioned, maybe if these things get into the right hands we'll have lots of cool apps and hacks for it.

I don't mean to talk the Cybiko down, I just don't think that it is an effective organizer, and of course there is not nearly the amount of software for it.

If you want an organizer, get a Palm Pilot. If you want a toy, get a cybiko.

So far, it's kinda neat, but certainly targeted at a quite young demographic. It's more of a game-boy with wireless than a Palm Pilot with wireless.

At least it will give me something to do on the bus ride home.

I guess the point here is twofold. It takes time for the donations to ramp up. And you're not going to make a million, but it might be worth your while.

If you're interested in sponsorpool, drop Tom Swiss a mail and ask him about it. It's kind of a cool project.

It's actually quite an old (and not racist, but humorously flawed) proposition.

perhaps they would spend as much time with their patients as is necessary to figure out what the problem is, let the patient know what the options for treatment are, help the patient make a sane decision, and treat the problem. This is in stark contrast to the small amount of time that physicians may see their patients under the current insurance controlled quagmire.

For the services not specifically in the package they offer, like authentication, mail, news, DNS and stuff, you can throw a few boxes in colo somewhere. (maybe at the same provider)

This will be a pretty low cost-of-entry way into the market. Grab some sales reps and see if they can offer anything like this.

I know sprint and level3 and probably uunet, psi, and a billion others do, too. (Disclaimer, I work for one of the above, so big deal.)
