This sounds like a genotype of XX but with the male SRY gene translocated on one X arms. This would give you the above phenotype and infertile with most likely diminished genitalia in all areas. For a lot of slashdot readers this means that there will be smaller breasts. This is bad news for slashdotters everywhere
Smaller man-boobs is bad news? I respectfully disagree.
Does that mean imaginary numbers are now real too? Because I don't really want to have to learn physics from scratch again!!
Only if they're trying to legislate the value of sqrt(-1) to be 1. I wouldn't be surprised, since that one place in the US once tried to make pi equal to 3. Maybe the calculator manufacturers are behind this, because they they could advertise that they do complex arithmetic without having to do any extra work.
A user can create lenses on the website, for example, focusing on the price of a DVD at Amazon, and see how the price went up and down over the coming months
1. See how the price of a stock "went" up and down over the coming months.

Any ideas on step 2? It's escaping me at the moment...
It is ironic that Google, the largest user of Internet capacity, pays the least relatively to fund the Internet's cost;
Actually, it makes sense. It's cheaper to provide one big pipe to a company than lots of tiny ones to thousands of end-users, even though the total of all the tiny pipes' bandwidths matches that of the big pipe. But if this is the case, then the cost is primarily due to all these end-users wanting to connect to the Internet, not Google's bandwidth use. So the obvious solution to reduce costs is to eliminate end-users. Simple!
Before it was taken down, I managed to download a pair of wool slippers, a Brompton folding bike and a sweet KitchenAid stand mixer. Thanks, piratebay!
We need more incidents like [a guy who got electrocuted while taking copper from a substation]. The site was clearly labeled with electrical warning signs, yet the idiot still went ahead with attempting to steal the wiring. Long story short, he probably will pay a little more attention to signs...
And who is going to pay for his hospitalization? I don't think more incidents like that would be good.
One thing that was a common denominator of all houses listed by HUD was every piece of copper; AC unit, water heater, pipes, fixtures, and electric wires, were completely striped.
Hmmm, did you you have a traumatic experience with a barber's pole or something?
Several years later I was back tutoring, and I was very disappointed to find out that I had to explain pointers and pointer arithmetic to people who were almost at the end of their Computer Science degree, and who didn't understand why their code was crashing with "null references" when "Java was supposed to get rid of all that memory stuff!".
Java is great. Depending on the object type, you either get a pointer or a value, so you have to know how both work AND pay close attention to the object type to know which it is. And don't bother trying to pass user types as values or getting a pointer to a fundamental type, because you can't. It's like they wrapped the worst of pointers/values/operator overloading and made it invisible.
Programmers and engineers should make their mark in the world by designing and implementing quality products[...]
I just wanted to express my strong agreement with this and thank you for posting. I'm not a professional but I do strive to write solid code and documentation without any pollution from my ego (the worst pollution is my habit of premature optimization, a very hard one to break).
Maybe it's time for hydrogen + electricity hybrids. You charge the batteries with electricity whenever possible. When that's not available, no biggie, you buy that expensive / inefficient hydrogen for those long car trips. Sure, it'll cost you, but unlimited range always does. However, at least the 95% of driving you do between home/work will be as cheap as ever.
Agreed, but I didn't think we even had gasoline+electric hybrids. Most I've seen only have one fuel port: gasoline. No way to charge these from the electric grid.
You forgot to capitalize some words in your post. I've corrected most below (boldfaced), though I might have missed a few:
Thats actually Wrong... I'm not a Green freak (as can be attested by a number of my posts and the truth that real Environmentalists commit suicide to lessen their impact on the planet...) BUT: I'd love a Hydrogen vehicle... I don't care about the carbon being released by burning hydrocarbon fuels, etc... (Heck problaby more Carbondioxide released by brewing and drinking of Beer...) I think we need a way to be free of the grasp of forign powers (some not so friendly) on our Infastructure. My alternative to Hydrogen vehicles would be CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and even the CNG has home filling Units available now. and CNG is something we have plenty of HERE at home (if you're a Non-USA Reader... Pardon the egocentricity of my post.)
Wind and Solar are ok ideas, but they can't be put into my Tank...
So I put forward that for National Security and protection of our transportation Infastructure, that we need to CONTINUE to look for Hydrogen and/or CNG solutions for our Transportation needs.
I've told my representative the same, but she replied back with a form letter about how Solar is the future, etc... etc.. etc.. Even a Solar Panel on the roof of my car would probably just run the radio and airconditioning fans...
If simplicity is the benchmark, then it must take into account the amount of stuff that's arranged simply. No stuff = nothing to go on. Lots of stuff arranged simply is pretty strong evidence.
Ummm... how are we thinking that CDs aren't digital?
Have you ever compared a warm, life-like CD with cold, cramped compressed digital download? Even lossless digital downloads lack the ambience and flavor of a compact disc. Just ask any audiophile...</sarcasm>
What if it were a real teenaged boy who used his real name and information and he harassed the girl and drove her to suicide? To me, the falsification of information seems irrelevant.
A teenaged boy would probably not be able to pull off such a sophisticated attack, since he wouldn't have as much life experience as this adult did. He also wouldn't be as aware of the possible dire consequences of his actions as this adult was. Adults have absolutely no business using their superior psychological abilities to inflict abuse on kids/teenagers.
This would excite me more if I could send a remote command that would detonate a small brick of C4 in the laptop. Why disable the computer when you can disable the thief?
And as a thief, why just steal a laptop like this when you can instead leave it somewhere, let the owner "disable" it, then watch owner get sent to Guantanamo Bay?

Haha, that's nothing. I was able to have an entire Internet sent to me via email on Friday! (though it wasn't until Tuesday that I finally received it)
Obviously, the only safe solution is to not pay... what, that has problems too?!?

Bruce Schneier doesn't have to.

Is centimillion kind of like saying "millithousand dollars" or "micromillion dollars" when you mean "one dollar"?

Just a side-comment, "advertisement" has only one "d" in it, so the short version, "ad", also only has one "d".

A stenographer's work must be easily readable. Maybe you were thinking of steganography?
I guess that means an end to posts making fun of Slashdot users for having no life. That'll sure make my life better!

If they turn out smarter, I think they'll end up cloning themselves, artificially or naturally...
