Beat the dead horse, then stake it through the heart, sever the head, fill it with garlic, and bury it separately from the body, preferrably across a body of water...
As a travel agent, let me tell you: Travel Agents are going the way of the dodo.
Why? Just as an anecdote, hardly a day goes by without a jerk calling to get recommendations on a flight or a hotel, and after I give them some prices and advice, I can hear them clacking on their keyboards and saying, "Ok, thanks, I got it three dollars cheaper on Expedia, Bye!!"
First, is this really a "vaccine" i.e. a one-off long term treatment? I very much doubt it, there's little money in that.
Which is why this was developed in the Mexican Polytechnic, which is a public school in a developing country, and not in an Ivy league school with private money.

Let's worry about that _after_ we develop a FTL drive or some sort of wormhole navigation system.
Sure, but this is Slashdot!

As always, McGrew is the real reason to come read Slashdot! He provides the armor-piercing questions!
Yeah, but a lousy Continental mechanic killed Concorde. #TrueStory

Fuckin' magnets, how do they work??!!
Snobbishness, of course!
Really, it's quite simple.
Every time you sit down to watch a movie or a TV series, you pop in another disc for the computer to rip and convert while playing another file.
With current hardware, your computer should be able to do this without hiccups or other issues.
You could also use the time spent watching the movies popping a new disc into the ripping/converting station every time you sit down to watch a movie.
You will eventually convert your entire collection and it won't feel like a chore.
Hah! I'll use a hands-free!

How about laying the monitor flat on the desk? or maybe at a 20-30 angle?
I wonder if a large touchscreen would work better that way

Sorry, but Science fared a lot better during the Islamic Golden Age.
Isn't history great?
You mean moustache, not beard.
Dude, I have seen people using Excel to write letters!
Yeah, but "Granny Smith" gives it a wrong idea...
Probably because most people don't follow either the military or gun culture on /. sad but true.
There are so many things I can learn with passion, and killing people is not one of them. Is that sad ?
Well said. Quoted for lack of mod points.
I wonder what obfuscated perl would look like...
Slashcode? [ducks!]

Why would you be outraged? Why would you even care? If you don't like it, just don't use iBooks Author.
The sense of entitlement in tech communities is what's actually outrageous.
Exactly. I won't use it. And I will discourage all of my friends from using it.
There. Any other questions?
It is almost, but not entirely unlike proper grammar.
Don't use logic against people who don't think in logical terms.
And avoid people who use terms like "master race"
