    I'd like to move us right to Peter Gibbons. We had a chance to meet this young man, and boy that's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

    "Inspired by the most logical race in the universe, the Vulcans, breeding will be permitted once every 7 years. For many of you, this will mean much less breeding. For me, much, much more."

  14. Re:My suggestion on FCC Approves Sprint-Nextel Merger · · Score: 1

    What's far, far worse than the blasted chatter is the little "chirp" that precedes every transmission. Gaaaahh!

  15. Re:I wonder if some side effects could be on FDA Rejects Artificial Heart · · Score: 5, Informative

    You are describing a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). That's not what this is.

    The Abiomed device is a Total Artificial Heart (TAH). They cut out your existing left and right ventricles and install this in their place. If the device fails, you die instantly.

    For what it's worth, I participated in the first calf trial of this device at Louisville.

  16. "Consumers" on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why can't we be called "people"?

    I wear a digital watch, since I think they are still a pretty neat idea.

  21. OT: Is USB winning over Firewire? on Uncompressed TV Video Over USB 2.0 from ATI · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Will Firewire be commonly available in 5 years? If you were designing an industrial product which needed to be viable at least that long, and you need the elegance and peer-to-peer nature of Firewire, would it be a safe choice?

  22. Re:This had to come on NIST Unveils Chip-scale Atomic Clock · · Score: 1

    But it's only natural that this becomes smaller. Give the rich part of the world ten years, and we're all spending our time wearing atomic _and_ digital watches.

    Well, I for one think atomic and digital watches are still a pretty neat idea.
