I'm pretty sure you are wrong. There are a couple of different prohibitions against eating living meat. For example, you can't eat placenta or the meat of a creature that is still alive. So that way you end up in a bit of a predicament. Either the cells are still part of the pig and therefor considered slaughtered when the pig is slaughtered (therefor making it traif) or they are considered a seperate living animal, and it can't be slaughtered in a proper manner.
The only way that I can think around this is that you considered it a parve (like plants and eggs) after you grow it, but why could we do that?
I've noticed a lot of comments from users worried that libraries are losing sight of their role as temples to the printed word.

Exactly! Take for example Snood, an amazingly fun game without anything requiring advancced computer technology.

The number of books published by small presses dwarfs the number if independant films. A major reason is that they are far cheaper to produce. To the extent that games aer like movies and not like books, there will be far fewer of them. In any case, the independent films only start that way. By the time the beauty pagent ends and a few of them have been chosen for mass distribution, the average member is far more commercial.
The existing celluar phone system has very low power requirements. I don't think we can expect any of the existing wireless lan technologies to deliver the stable connections and long battery lives of cell phones. The real holy grail of wireless tech is not needing wifi repeaters at all. I know a guy at CMU who is working on wireless devices that communicate with base stations and each other. That way, bandwith and power are conserved by each device broadcasting over the smallest area possible. Within densely populated areas like colleges and cities this could focus as a serious competeditor to celluar service, while in more rural areas phones and computers could switch back to the more traditional celluar and wired services.
What about using a one time pad? Sign the motherboard and the bios using a matching one time pad and record that key with the central server. Switch the bios, failure... Try to fake a computer as stolen, failure... and so on.

Looking at the ratio of workers lost to total number of workers in being an astronaut and being a US soldier, I bet that being a soldier is much safer. The US army might be safer then being a fireman.

Sure it is risky to explore. However, the purpose of most earlier exploration was profit, which made the risks of investment easier to bear. The space shuttle doesn't do much, costs a ton, and is not very safe either.
As I understand it,.Net is a XML based communication platform for connecting just about any device you can imagine. For now, that is mostly desktops and servers, but later phones, fridges, and TVs. To the user it looks like nothing, which is why you probably do not know what it is. To the programmer, it looks like a set of libraries. To the hardware manufactures, it looks like a formatted data stream.
Why not imagine this as part of a hybrid solution for fighting spam. Use white-lists for your private corespondance. However, to reduce the reqirements for whitelisting all commercial and government sites, just allow them to run the whitelist, charging a penny an email checked against the whitelist. The whitelist authenticates the email is from the proper sender, pgp signs it and forwards it to you. Then add them to a special white list. YOu could even have several private firms that do this and have them compete on price and quailty of service.

Print is mostly white with black text because it was wasteful to use all that ink to print pages in black minus the white for text. It would also be much more difficult to make neat, movable type prints because you'd need to seemlessly join all the blocks and have flat blocks for the empty areas. That makes it more likely to bad output. Ever seen the banding on an all black page printed on a laser printer? Blueprints are white test on blue paper because the process is easier to do that way. Maybe it isn't a good idea to print light on dark, but the blooberg data terminals are light on dark too, and they at used to claim (and may still) that this was too make it easier to stare at all day long. Recall that paper is front lit and CRTs are back lit so their optimal usage colors may differ.
Most (if not all non-.net) Windows XP applications will run on earlier versions of windows. Plus, XP certified apps are more likely to be certified for other versions.
Doesn't a lot of the benefit of owning a PVR come from everyone else no doing so? If / when everyone owns a PVR we'll see a lot more product placement and fewer commercials. Currently, PVR owners see a lot fewer ads and don't suffer through a lot of product placement either.
This is similar to observing animals in zoos versus the wild. Preserving and observing charismatic macrofauna in zoos is a far cry from the understanding and marvel of observing them in their natural habitat. Somethings you may never understand until you see them in the wild. Take flamingos, they eat a crustatian that eventually makes them pink (they are born white.) If we feed them bird food we would never know what they really look like.

...we read the sixth commandment, "lo tirtzach - You shall not murder." (Exodus 20:13) The King James' translation of this command is "Thou shall not kill." But in Hebrew there is a different word for "kill." It's harog, not the term ratzach used in the imperative of this commandment."Ratzach" always refers to the intentional manslaughter of an innocent man
"Horeg" refers to one who kills (whether by accident or intent).
