Also, I believe the political hysteria created over the issue has led to this woman going the lengths she did to be "cured." Stem-cell research has been heralded for years as an answer to unlimited potential ailments. It could theoretically cure everything in the world. This allows one side to paint the other side religious nuts for wanting to stop this miracle-in-waiting.
Bush didn't ban fetal stem cell research, but only federal money to it. If there were any realistic thought that they could be used to cure everything, you would think someone would fund it so they can rake in trillions from the profits. Bill Gates, T Boone Pickens, and the like do see potential profits in the alternative-energy trade, so that's where the money goes, not some pie-in-the-sky dream for medical utopia.
but somebody in end-stage kidney failure would likely choose some risky options, maybe even unscientific ones.
I actually left the tech industry in 2001 to work with kidney failure patients. Kidney failure is not the end of one's life. You can live plenty of decades with no kidney function. It is certainly a drastic change to go from someone with no medical issues to low kidney function, but it is quite manageable.
To go to the lengths of flying across the world for an experimental treatment that doesn't even do the treatment right (just jam stem cells into some body part? that sounds fishy to me) seems silly. If she's got the money to do this, why not just get a regular old-fashioned kidney transplant from one of these poorer countries? That procedure has at least 50 years of research behind it to be somewhat successful (with the caveat that any kidney treatment including transplants is just that, a treatment, not a cure).
If your goal is to have the exact market of iPhone users, write an app that is Jobs-proof. It's that simple. I mean how hard can it be? Either put up with his bullshit, or adapt to other markets. You can't have it both ways.
Yet, the psychology of it turns the customer into not printing as much to save themselves the headache of buying another $50 in cartridge.
Give a cheap good-enough cartridge for $15 to print 99% of the junk people print, and they'll sell hundreds versus the few $50 carts someone would buy.
I've been around a while, and I can't think of any time a Slashdot editor fact-checked, spell-checked, or proofread a submission. Look at it, they put the entire thing into a quote. That way they can just say they're quoting the submitter and that's what he said.
They might add the "UserXXX writes," part themselves, but a couple characters of perl could probably do that part just as well.
No, it just means you'll be able to pay for the demo. Imagine being able to take a simple thing like a credit card with X balance and turning it into a credit card with X-$5 balance.. AND being able to play a half-baked demo!!
But, it's free health care. Woohoo! Rock on! 30 million people are covered for only a trillion or two dollars. Come on, it's not like it's 10 trillion. It's ONLY a couple! Best of all, we get to stick it to those rich bastards who buy fancy-shmancy health insurance. Take that suckas! You want to get rich on my hard work for your company, you've got another thing coming.
I especially like how they have "fees" to pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, etc. Them bastards have been stealing from people who need their drugs/machines for years. There is no excuse for it. Now we'll cut out their profits and show them who's boss. Yeah!!
[sarcasm for those Slashdotters without any] I find it odd that the main punchline of all this need for reform is revenge against some other groups of people. Vote for me and I'll screw over this guy, but not you! Can't we all just get along?
Your post is wrong. The official announcement says, "during the fiscal year ending March 2011."
Of course, this coming from Nintendo Japan means they will get it by March of next year. Expect an additional 6-12 months for the rest of the world gets their releases.
Yes, please Nintendo, stick to the 0.01% of the world that wants hardcore action games (to the extreme)! They'll make you a good half a million dollars before they figure out how to pirate games and are finished buying anything ever.
Or, you know, you could just not buy Imagine: Babiez/Petz/Hamsterz/Whateverz. Amazingly, when you don't pirate games, you actually only play games that are interesting to you! It's an intriguing concept, actually.
Your comment is ridiculous. Anyone with $129.99 (+tax) can buy a DSLite. Therefore, companies will make games for various target audiences. Pre-teen girls have no interest in 3D FPS games. They will be posting the exact crap you did on Barbie.com or wherever. Once you come to realize the world doesn't revolve around you, you will see the Lite (heh, see what I did there?).
Plus, I heard you can only access Google services with it. Searching at Google.com will go from 0.5 seconds down to 0.43 seconds! That's SECONDS, people!
Oh, and by using Google ISP, you forfeit everything you have to Google. Google, Google, Google.
Right, what I was wondering is if you meet player JoeSchmoe from another server during one instance, can you somehow arrange to run another insteance with that same person? For example, have the matchmaker service prefer people on your friends list, if other-server friends were allowed. It would certainly expand the community aspect of the game to be the entire battlegroup rather than just your one server.
Is there a way to friend someone on another server, so you can do an instance with these specific people, or is it always random people to fill out your group?
Oh Mah God! I think your post will bring Google down. Sell all your stocks, Google will be gone by this time next year! I foresee every grandma to be protesting in the streets with signs about the evils of cloud computing. If Google gets hold of granny's secret cookie recipes, imagine the havoc that could cause! Down with all of them! Disconnect from the grid while you can!! In fact, I don't want Slashdot to have my thoughts. They could be scheming something with them too. Let me just save this to my own drive. Ok, I think I've got it--
It's funny, but that's just what Googlesays it's for too. Why Slashdotters INSIST every new thing completely replace everything that's come before it is beyond me. So what you can't do high-end video editing with ChromeOS? It's for sitting on the couch and reading Slashdot, dammit!
Why should Google-haters have to go to the trouble of reading instructions, doing things, etc to get to their sacred data?? Google should just transmit the data over the air into their brains. This is an outrage! When will Google just do the simplest of things?!? Google is evil, I say, eeeeeeee-vil!
You must be confusing Slashdot for rational thinking. You see, 'round these parts, every article the describes something new must be the only one of its kind to exist.
ChromeOS? It's gotta be able to serve 500 trillion web hits, decode MRI scans, run MS Exchange to 10 people in an office, telephone you when the temperature outside goes above 50, and browse web sites from the couch. If it cannot do all that, and everything everyone in the world wants to do, it's useless.
Nintendo Wii? It cannot play the simplest version of Pong 40,000 in 1080p across fourteen 10,000-inch televisions with fully realistic explosions. Therefore, it is crap.
So, don't let it surprise you that this little "language" is crap since it cannot do some things.
Scanning Ebay's completed auctions, it looks like that's where my Tivo1 with lifetime subscription is going. It's far too much hassle to try finding some use for it, when I can just pocket $50-100. Now, where did I put that thing??

I've heard of these 4-digiters, but never seen one myself...

What about the cost to the environment?
Well, the environment currently runs at no financial cost. So that times say ten years, would be .. um, just under one cent.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned DJ Roomba from a recent Parks & Recreation episode.

Evil.
That should cover the conspiracists.
What, no port of JWASM written in assembler first?
Hmm, it shortens http://goo.gl/ to http://googleurlshortener.tk./ I think I broke it.
Oddly, it turns http://tweak.tk/ into http://e80qk.tk./ My brain hurts.

Maybe it was designed by the people who did recovery.gov.
As an aside, how do you not notice the web site you're designing has 875 congressional districts when there are only 435?
You're only recourse would be to hit Ctrl-X, C, 4, Alt-Q, 5, 5, 5, J, and enter.
