Scientists around the world have already cloned mice and various livestock, but the Texas cat would be the first cloned companion animal.
Clearly these cats are being cloned to eat all of the cloned mice they've been making... I guess they'll be cloning rotweillers to take care of the cats, Hatchbacks to take care of the rottweilers, SUV's to take care of the Hatchback, Semis...
I love the Simpsons, but never got into Futurama because there was never enough promotion of the show to make me remember to turn it on. I've seen a couple of episodes of Futurama, but I couldn't tell you what time it's on, or for that matter which day.
Unless it leads to copying on untaxed Media. I don't which media get this tax and which don't(for instance are hard drives taxed, are analog tapes taxed?)
We were reminded a couple of weeks ago on slashdot that there is a tax on digital media. The revenue from this tax goes to the RIAA and maybe others. One purpose of taxation is to discourage a particular behavior (one reason taxes are so high on tobacco). So, basically the federal government endorsed a copy protection scheme by making the media more expensive. By circumventing this scheme and replacing it with their own scheme, record companies are violating the DMCA!
Now if you're a reasonable person, you're saying "that's nuts!" because the end result is the content is not copied. This presumes that the record company's protection scheme is better than the government's scheme. The DMCA would certainly prevent replacing a more secure coppy protection scheme with a lesser one(even though technically the material was still secure, just not as secure). So record companies fiddling with the government's copy-protection is clearly prohibited under the DMCA.
Whenever Judge Dredd came out, a coworker who had a five-year-old was thinking about taking him to see it. Judge Dredd for those of you fortunate enough not to remember this movie was rated R. I'm not sure what a G-Rated version of Judge Dredd would look like, I guess anyone who got killed, would just magically vanish from the movie. My point being that removing the scenes of violence does not remove the violent theme of the movie.
For years MTV has been editing videos, selectively removing content it deemed inappropriate. Racism pervades MTV's editorial policy. Consider a couple of examples where one standard was applied to a video by a white artist, and another standard was applied to a video by a black artist. Coolio's"Gangster's Paradise" has the lyric "Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye" MTV presented the video with this content unmodified. The song "Santeria" features the lyric "Daddy's got a new 45," the word 45 was bleeped out. These songs came out at the same time, but were subjected to different editorial review. The other example is Tom Petty can't sing about rolling a joint , but Snoop Doggy Dog can sing about drinking and driving
Ultimately, the solution is this, if you determine that a film has offensive content in it, don't watch the film.
So is this a remake of Man Facing Southeast?

Will someone who has seen both film's please comment? I don't get out to the movies anymore, so if I see this movie it will be on Video, but it looks similar to a foreign film, Man Facing Southeast
Has Microsoft ever taken responsibility for damage caused by viruses that infect the OSes that Microsoft sells? No, and no one has ever asked them to (unless you count all of thos people who went to Disneyland on Microsoft's nickel)
Most cars have lengthy warranty periods (up to 100,000 miles) for the enginge, so maybe a car with a simpler enginge would actually save auto manufacturers money on covered repairs.
Actually, I prefer the Mac version (I run 2000 on my PC at work and 98 on my Mac at Home) Since the development cycle for both products is not synched, Mac Users get some features before Windows users and vice versa. (Unfortunately, we both got this "feature" at the same time)
Normally I'd say that you shouldn't turn off a group of articles based on the author. Since everytime Jon Katz posts something he invariably gets torn to shreds by slashdot readers, it is obviuous that some very vocal people hate everything he writes. If you fall into that category, and can't stand Jon Katz's writing, and you're not some kind of masochist, turn off JonKatz articles. If you don't have an account, get one, or...don't click on the link to his story!!
As additional security, require the following: when you buy tickets, you must provide the number from some form of picture ID. The ID is verified, checking both that it was issued by a recognized authority, and that the name and other info match the information you provided. The picture associated with that ID would be available to the gate agent. So the picture on the ID would need to look like both the picture the gate agent had, and the id holder. Logical checks to make, outstanding warrants, wanted for questioning, linked with terrorist organizations, etc...Keep in mind that travelling on an airplane is not a right, it is a modern convenience. People without ID's (for instance small children) would travel on someone else's identification.

How much the move industry needed to create a new standard for video media.
Seems silly to have the airport card and the modem, you need to decide how you're going to connect to the internet B4 you buy!

An HD TV monitor is heavier, and therefor harder to steal than a 27" TV!
They're called homo sapiens sapiens. Now whether or not that has worked will be up to history to decide.

A grammar and spell checker(which you clearly need!)

Although we already know that there's bacteria on Uranus.
That's why we have pigeons!

They have crapless craps at the Stratosphere Casino...unfortunatel they haven't figured out how to take the Rou out of Roulette.
About picking the wrong winner in the presidential race.
Excellent point, and far less obscure a feature than using shift-rightclick! (Like anyone uses the right button anyway!)

If a story about a vulnerability in Microsoft created software is considered news.:)

I mean would want to make a wall out of those, much less anything fun.
