That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equalizer, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two different types of cassette."
Wait wait wait. They had actual METAL cassettes? Like, made out of metal?
The scary part is that I'm being completely serious. I'm only 21 but I had a Walkman for a few years before I got my first CD player, I always wondered about that switch but since I never saw a cassette made out of metal I assumed the same thing he did, that it was being genre-specific.
Now one of the great mysteries of my life is solved.
Uh, in most places we call that murder, or at least euthanasia. The argument for abortion is usually that it's just cells and not a baby yet, not that killing babies is okay.
Your Honor I was just performing a post-birth abortion! Not killing him for sleeping with my wife! Post-birth abortion!
Do all colleges have such extreme measures in place?
No, mine doesn't. Technically we just have to have antivirus software installed, and keep up with MS's security patches, and they really don't ever even check for those.
Maybe this time they will have time to come down in price enough for me to actually be able to afford to buy one of each before the next generation comes around.
The article doesn't go into very much detail on what the stem cells really were or how the were produced, so I assume what they refer to as "stem cells" are really multipotent stem cells (or so-called progenitor cells), rather than the pluripotent stem cells that are obtained from the embryo and that can differentiate into any adult tissue. Multipotent stem cells are found in many regenenerating tissues, such as epithelia and bone marrow, but it should be noted that they are not stem cells in the sense that they would retain the ability to differentiate into any cell type.M
I don't know what most of those words mean, but judging from TFS where it says that the stem cells came from each subject's good eye, I'd say you're right, they aren't embryonic stem cells;-)
Love the program, updates are kinda meh though, let me know when they put in an auto-updating word count in the status bar. Also when it lets me fit a polynomial trendline to a scatter-plot, I hate having to switch to Excel when I need one.
Kinda. The pastor Mark Driscoll is very controversial, even among Christians. He's also extremely intelligent, and is very capable of defending the things he says (I'd pay money to see anyone on here debate him). Christian or not, he's a good thing for everyone, simply because he's not just another fundamentalist idiot that just spouts stuff off without it making any sense or being able to support it.
This. Do it yourself. Dell wanted to charge my girlfriend (ya ya ya peanut gallery) $350 to fix the screen for her laptop. I bought one online for $80 and fixed it myself with a set of screwdrivers and 20 minutes (and a little tiny bit of duct tape because they had a stupid little chip on the bottom whose screws didn't line up exactly right with the new screen). As for where to get the screen, I recommend Screen Country- they seemed to be the cheapest when I was looking, and so far the screen seems to work fine (2 months in now) - http://www.screencountry.com/?gclid=CNutnIL6npoCFQZeswodqHo49w
I never looked at the actual site because it was slashdotted when I was looking, so I watched the video someone linked below, here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhMl7a3wJvQ . Dunno if it's the same as what's on the site, but this one definitely has words.
Does it make it more efficient? First of all I am pretty sure it is going to take longer. Second, for the cost to make one of these I am pretty sure you can make one of those lawn mowers that cut grass BY ITSELF with NO HUMAN INTERVENTION. I don't care if it takes 5 days for the machine to do it, if it is automatic and I don't need to be there. Finally, all this does is requires a human to still attend to the grass, but not get the side benefit of exercise... While this invention is cool, don't pawn it off as something useful when their is clearly little to no market for something like this...
According to the video all you have to do is use the Wiimote to guide it around the perimeter of the area you want it to mow, then it mows the area inside of that on its own. I'm not an expert but I think for those other mowers that do it by themselves, you still have to set up some kind of barrier of some sort (buried wire for example). I could maybe see this being useful for someone who goes around and cuts grass in a lot of different areas that they can't set up a wire or whatever. Maybe.
Too bad there's so much "let's shake the camera all around and do a bunch of rapid scene changes with weird angles so we're hip and cool" going on that you can't actually see anything.
So... $20,000/100 Days = $200 dollars, day. $200/24 hours = $8.33/hour. Some people really need to do the math before going "OMG THATS A GREAT REWARD" >> Kudos to those running the experiment. Cheap labor is great.
Pft, as a broke college student, I'd do it. It would sure beat flipping burgers for a summer job.
I don't think I'm alone in not being able to reasonably buy two cars - an electric one for most stuff and a gasoline one for when I need to go on a longer trip. The S-Series would not even be able to get me reliably to a city 2.5 hours from my home, like Boston - and it's not unusual for me to drive to a city like Boston.
Anyone that can afford a 55 grand S-Series Tesla can afford a 10 grand, 30mpg gas Kia.
Why is this modded troll? This post isn't any more loaded than the GP, which is currently modded +4 Interesting, and this one makes equally valid points.
I'd have to lose 30 IQ points before I'd try an RTS on a console. The only people I know who think HALO is a good game are the ones that have never played Half-Life. Do yourself a favor; buy a PC, and try a real RTS.
It's not, at least the death of Circuit City in the corporate sense isn't. The submitter is referring to the scene inside a single store feeling sad, and that I could agree with. Walking around in one of those empty stores feels like walking through a graveyard, with mobs of scavengers picking at the remains.
I consider myself a pretty die-hard pro-choicer but I'm extremely disturbed by the notion of aborting your embryo because it doesn't have the eye color you wanted.........
This.
I'm pretty pro-life myself but I can at least understand arguments about medical issues or being too poor to care for a child or freedom of choice or whatever, even if I don't agree with them. But because it isn't going to be blonde? Wtf?

It's just a 12-year old actor in a space suit.
right-wing Christian fundamentalism.

plans to keep selling it to computer makers, system builders, volume licensees and consumers at retail until at least January 2011
Of course, for them to keep selling it, requires that people actually buy it in the first place.

They even have a warranty on them I think.
200 bucks can easily buy a used PS2 with mod chip and a load of other crap.
Uh, no, not in Brazil it won't. That's the point, this isn't targeted at the US/Europe market. Read the summary, please.
Am I in the right place? Is this slashdot?
Nope, you got lost and have somehow ended up on NEGA-SLASHDOT. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I got it from the big words that came up on the screen at the beginning and in the middle and said it.

you can't kill 15 people with less than 15 bullets
You obviously never took the time the properly line up your assault rifle shots on the "Caverns" level in Goldeneye.

Goldeneye's on there. Not 1980s, admittedly, but made by Rare.
As a native Floridian I'd rather have them on your beach than in my pool.
