Your first premise is false. I cite myself as a counter-example.
This is not discrete math. One counter-example doesn't prove me wrong.
I believe that they are an important key to a broad field of study.
Debatable, but clearly just your opinion.
The second result from your link... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/06/050624102413.htm "PITTSBURGH (June 23, 2005) -- In a ground-breaking study, scientists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh have discovered that adult, or post-natal, stem cells have the same ability as embryonic stem cells to multiply, a previously unknown characteristic indicating that post-natal stem cells may play an important therapeutic role."
Of course, you're too stupid to look at the pages that you reference.
I know that this *is* the Internet, but theoretically Slashdot is supposed to attract the more intelligent and mature among the net denizens. (though looking at some of the trolls posting NSFW stuff, that's really not saying much)

This is just like when you have to explain a joke to someone. If they didn't get it the first time around, they won't get it after you explain it.
From the beginning of the wikipedia article... Irony (from the Ancient Greek eirneía, meaning hypocrisy, deception, or feigned ignorance) is a situation, literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity, discordance or unintended connection that goes beyond the most evident meaning.
Here we are in an environment where it's accepted as common knowledge that embryonic stem cells are a panacea. They hold the secret of life everlasting and the cure to all of mankinds ailments. Yet, all of the advances are being made with adult stem cells.
I'm sure that you won't understand. Perhaps your ignorance isn't feigned after all. In which case, your argument becomes stronger. It's not ironic because you're not pretending to be stupid, but you actually are stupid.
A success using stem cells derived from fat is in no way ironic, even up against people who claim that embryonic stem cells are needed.
A single success would not be ironic. Another success in a long string of successes when compared to a complete and total lack of success from embryonic stem cells, however, is.
If I tell someone that I will contact the police if they don't stop their dog from pooping on my lawn, my intent would be to intimidate them. I want them to be afraid of the consequences of their actions. In Texas, I would have just committed a felony. That's fucking idiotic.
If anyone who uses the software is entitled to get the source, you'll see a lot less Free Software getting used for business. While you may think that's a good thing, it's not. A lot of free software is developed by businesses and if they're chased back to Windows all of their development stops.
If you use a LAMP based system to host a web app, all of a sudden every user will have the right to the code. That is all the reason businesses would need to go IIS.
"Normal" people are fucking morons. Why should we dumb ourselves down to their level?
Sorry you have to pay them a cut of the profits and they have to approve you, but heres another hint, all 10 people that find your website and your app and buy it from you don't compare to the thousands of people who will come across your app when its on the app store, even as an exteremely low ranking app.
You're babbling on and on about how great of a deal you think you got for selling your soul. You really don't understand why they're bitching about Apple's stranglehold?

one man I knew was fond of making quite genuine threats to the life and limb of his programming team, to coerce them to go along with his dishonest schemes
FBI agents make careers on that kind of bust. Someone should have made a call.
All they had to do was deduct $238 from one of her checks, but there's no option to do that with unemployment. The second you report any income, regardless of the source, you're employed.
Not where I live. If I made $50 when I was laid off, my unemployment check would be $50 less and that $50 would remain available to me for later claims.

Tell me again why you're asking on slashdot instead of reading a scientific paper on the benefits of ESC research?
To illustrate a point, you stupid ass.

Well, in Texas you're justified in shooting someone who is tresspassing (at least at night). There is no duty to retreat there.

"intimidate" is such a vague concept.

I have to disagree. I had an employer that was outwardly a bible-thumper but was as crooked as the day is long.
Personally, if a right wing, dogmatic, Bible-thumping company owner didn't want to hire me I'd consider that a badge of honor.

And are we to assume that you've never encountered a left wing, dogmatic, Clinton/Obama groupie wannabe?
Dogmatic people are a pain in the ass no matter what side they come down on.
