Try living in Maine. You start writing "int maine(int, char**)" and similar things all over the place. Some you don't notice, like street names, since they're capitalized anyway.
But with a treatment, the males won't die before they can father a child, so a treatment will make the disorder more common. You actually contributed to my statement in that respect. And that wasn't my point anyway; my point is that there can be things worse (for the general human race) than death.
Since the fix isn't inherited, this could increase the rate of this disorder in the whole human race. If genetic disorders never select out, a lot more people would become dependent on the treatment in the future. There's a reason why natural selection is important to the survival of a species.
In a nutshell: More people who have this disorder will be able to have children and pass it on.
The jerseys appear to be unrelated to real corporate logos. And if anyone's actually wondering, one drink was juice and the other was salty tea. After reading the article, I'm curious what three-quarters of 22 people is.
If Apple's disclosures were an attempt to influence stock prices, then it would matter. The SEC just seems to be watching for fraud like stock manipulation. That is their job, after all.
Not theft, unauthorized copying. There's a difference; the cost to the owner is by decreased scarcity or potentially lost revenue, not by the loss of possession of an item with value. You can't steal thoughts and ideas, you can only copy them.
Addressing the 7 cups part, not the hallucination part: One of the linked articles mentions 7 cups of instant coffee, and claims it's roughly the caffeine of 3 cups brewed.
Very astute first post. I fail to see how those two questions are mutually exclusive. I would expect that both will be in the future of journalism on the web. Personally, though, I prefer the text.
You sort of answered your own question on HIV there. It sounds like, if the approach works, then the only people who will have cancer will be the people who have HIV or otherwise-weakened immune systems (like everyone they recommend for flu shots).
This approach is about directing the immune system to attack specific cells that it wouldn't have otherwise. I think it would have limited use against things that are already identified as threats.
Just wait for next election's ramp up, when the Tron Paul video game is released. Then we'll all find out whether these people were right.

Team Fortress 2? An RTS?
I'm guessing you mean FPS. Real-Time Strategy games don't tend to require lightening-fast "reflexes", at least for the skill levels of those 99% of players.
Because it has no practical application for 99.999% of them. There's a reason it's a dead language and it has nothing to do with computers.
Wrong.
The word "computer" from Merriam-Webster online:
one that computes; specifically : a programmable usually electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data
And "compute":
Etymology: Latin computare
Latin is the root of many modern words. A major argument for studying it is to understand words' roots, so that you can figure out their meanings without resorting to Google/Wikipedia/etc. I think some amount larger than.001% of them take the SAT, for example. And AFAIK they still aren't allowed to bring a computer.

You respond with, "It's only a movie. The world isn't ending. Don't kill your children, your pets, or yourself."
It's to prevent bloat.
Not much of a problem if they weed each other out. See this other old Slashdot story

Firefox has a checkbox in Tools -> Options -> Content -> Fonts and Colors -> Advanced to disable this, if you so desire.
Funny you should mention that.
Like 'his' and 'hers'? Because that's what 'its' goes along with.

You could win own your very own copies of IE8, Firefox 3, and Safari!
Did you even read the first sentence of the summary? It says she's taken it almost every working day since 2005.

This made more sense when you posted it in the article about the UK. This one is obvious trolling. http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1093209&cid=26466199

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble#Thinning_the_herd Wikipedia says March 10, 2000 is when the dot-com bubble burst.
I thought it was a decent story. A little racist and offtopic, though. I think it deserved the Offtopic mod more than Troll.

It may be flamebait, but it's insightful flamebait.

No, silly. It still runs on ordinary gasoline. But we can time travel!
