But if this technology is now 60 years old, one would assume it is out of patent. How long before (if not already) every manufacturer is capable of making it? If it becomes profitable, then Pyrex and Co will be shipping it out at lower cost than Corning.
Option Three: Write a subroutine that takes the fractions of cents usually rounded off and tallied up later, and deposit them into an account of your own. Then sit back as the money trickles into your account. What could possibly go wrong?
You could easily be hit by a car this afternoon, but the likelihood is not great. Gary's death in the short-term is guaranteed. There is the difference. If you KNEW, with 100% certainty, that you would get hit by a car this afternoon, and that it would destroy some vital organs, then the decision to pre-empt this and check into a hospital to harvest them before they took this damage is equivalent to the decision he is making now.
Does this open a can of worms for assisted suicide for people who are not terminally ill? Not likely. Will it allow those who are terminally ill to give the gift of life to someone who has a chance to use it to the fullest? Yes, it does.
Not just jumping in front of a bullet. There are many people who put themselves in harms way to save another's life. The difference with, say, a fireman is that they are not guaranteed to die.
Disallowing *ouch* use of "win" *ouch* would only lead to brewing *ouch* discomfort and dwindling *ouch* friendship following *ouch* shortly thereafter with growing *ouch* tension among your peers
Just you wait until some committee somewhere out there decides that the sun is too small and inconsequential to be classed as a real star. If it happened to Pluto...
I read here before in a similar conversation about passwords; the use of an algorithm to generate a password that's unique to the application you are using (or website) but specific that you don't need to remember 20+ passwords.
For example: 1823 (year of birth) + saho (every odd letter in slashdot) + pink (my favourite colour) = 1923sahopink
Reverse the positioning of the fixed elements if the site/system begins with a vowel

So you only need to remember your rule, and then inject something that will make the password unique, which you also don't have to remember because it is connected to where you are accessing.
So you agree, his rock has prevented terrorists from attacking the US. Since terrorists are still active over the world, but have been prevented from making such attacks in the US since he found his rock.
UPC are in the process of rolling out fiber across Dublin. The time-lines are similar to Blizzard expansions (soon) but last I heard they were doing Dun Laoghaire. I recently got UPC TV into my gaff, and it came with one of them new-fangled wall connections with TV and fiber internet outputs. I had called them about a year ago when I moved to the area asking about internet (ultimately went went with BT (now vodafone)) but at the time they said my area was on the list but they didn't know when. Hopefully that time is coming soon.
What parallel? There's no chance of people who already have this add-on having it magically taken away from them. You know, we gotta protect people's rights and leave them vulnerable to this add-on and all...
A leading Chinese Internet regulator has vowed to reduce anonymity in China's portion of cyberspace, calling for new rules to require people to use their real names when buying a mobile phone or going online, according to a human rights group
If adults generally get 1200 times the safe dose, while nursing infants only get 77 times the safe dose, it finally justifies my insistence on continued nursing into my 20's.

Released a statement that it was developing a new line of Graphene Calculators
Yes, but 'Eureka' resulted in a bit of spilled water. 'That's funny...' often ends in BOOM.

Google Maps is famous for providing unique routes (see steps 21 & 35). Just because YOU don't have a helicopter/kayak doesn't mean other haven't.
Bonus points for anyone who can guess the name of his Tauren Char
Probably because this is /. and anyone visiting here should know right well what it is and get off my lawn!

Does this mean there'll be no Fez? Fez + Bow-tie combo was going to be so badass

How did she manage to pull this off while being assaulted at the same time? What did he think she was doing, updating her status?

It's Ireland. You know we invented the colour green? Now we can have green internet!
We've seen your world, yer welcome to it.

From TFA:
What's his/her name?
I'm a vegan, politically I'm a progressive (let the flaming begin)
I reserve my flaming for things like steak and burgers.
