    After the rootkit fiasco you trust Sony to respond truthfully and without spin.

    Your faith disturbs me.

    Bullshit the time to pull that play way over twelve months ago. You Sony fanboys will say anything.

    I washed my Super mario bros. for GBA, after drying it out it worked fine. Still works to this day with the original save files intact.

    It's like the time I was talking to this girl and she said, "There's no job a man can do that a woman can't". I replied with "female impersonator".

    The evolution of all language strolls on regardless of intelligence. The only reason it has remained as relatively stable as it has over the past couple of hundred years is due to written language.

    $500 only, it's worth 130 000 bucks and only $500 reward.

  11. Re:Story meaning? on How 136 People Became 7 Million Illegal File-Sharers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    11 million world of warcraft players regularly use file sharing as a means to receive regular game updates. They could easily have picked up a bunch of those players and lumped them in with the "illegal" file sharing crowd. The study is bogus because it doesn't account for those situations.

    Also...... "That 11.6% was adjusted upwards to 16.3% 'to reflect the assumption that fewer people admit to file sharing than actually do it."

    How do they know the amount of people that "fewer people admit to file sharing than actually do it" involves inflating the numbers by exactly 4.7%. Where and how did they get that data?

  13. Re:What Could Possibly Go Wrong on Steve Ballmer Directing "House Party 7" · · Score: 0, Troll

    I still don't understand how the party was illegal. The trespass on private property certainly was, but the party itself?

    Surely you jest?

    Transplants require immunosuppressants so are really only open to those already undergoing a kidney transplant.

    Those guys are using cell encapsulation as a way to hide islet cells from the immune system, it is showing very promising results. Of course a decent supply of transplant material is still a problem.

    If you are type 1 then your immune system would destroy any pancreatic islet cells implanted. Type 2 diabetics who are insulin resistant with a burnt out pancreas would be choicer targets for this type of therapy. Type 1 diabetics will be waiting for an immunological solution first.
