OpEd Piece on Extended Life Expectancy
daksis writes "CNN has posted an OpEd piece from the New York Times that raises some interesting issues. With the current advances in biology, we as a society are facing the real possibility that "immortality" could some day be the norm. What sort of social impact can we expect when/if life expectancies are measured in centuries?"
fuck pist
I am 13 years old, and I am just learning about computers. i have recently discovered about linux, and i am very interested in it. My older brothers friend told me that if I want to learn a lot about linux, that i should go to slashdot.org. well, i have a question about it. i installed it on my parents computer after my friend gave me a copy of the new beta linux 10 to try out. the problem is, i can't seem to get all of my old microsoft word documents to work
i installed linux, and then i clicked on the home icon, which i think is like the my douments in windows. the problem is, i can't find where all of my old documents went, and I need to find them fast because my mom is coming home soon, and she won't be happy if I dont know where all her important quicken files are.
So, i guess, is there any way that I can do a search in linux? that's my question. thanks
Hopefully one day they can come up with a medical preventative measure for obesity. "Self restraint" certainly doesn't seem to be working as there are TONS of fat people everywhere (At least in the US). Put the damn potato chips down!
It really pisses me off when I see some 350 lb woman ordering three big mac's and two XL fries. The ever-increasing cost of private health care is very likely due in part to treating all the diseases and conditions that result from being grossly over-weight.
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
