Not quite. There is still one place where you have to earn your degree.
Unfortunately the insurance companies, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies here make too much money on diabetes. They will: A) Never allow the cure to be FDA Approved or B) Just not have it as an 'Approved' treatment and make you pay for it out of pocket Very sad, but very true.
Again with the conspiracy theories. Take off the damn tin foil. This is already a FDA approved treatment. Just this particular medical application is off-label. And the FDA isn't going to have much say in whether this is approved in Canada where the research is being done.
They are similar in name because of the symptoms, not because of the underlying cause.
RTFA - part of the big point here is that their research shows that this type of treatment cures BOTH types, indicating that contrary to what is believed, BOTH types have a similar cause, not just similar symptoms.
it probably would have been easier to just quit tariffing sugar and subsidizing corn so that they stop using the bane we know as "high fructose corn syrup".
...as a Diabetic for the last 21 years, I have seen it all. If you follow this stuff, there seems to be one landmark approach after the other. And what happens? Very little........ Anything long term, is years, perhaps decades away.
My son is a Type I diabetic and last month he had to do a year based timeline in math to learn about positive/negative integers. He did his on the discoveries related to diabetes and in particular insulin.
Lots of progress has been made over the years, and in particular the last 3 decades. The type of insulin he uses is just slightly older than he is.
The media is great at making everything seem like it is the next big discovery(witness the title of this article), but this is a pretty significant change in the understanding of the causes and possible cures of diabetes.
The injected substance is a natural substance already approved for injection for other medical purposes, and for this particular purpose (affecting nerve cells), although prior to this research no one had associated nerve cells with the onset of diabetes.
This research is as signifcant as it gets. Up there with the discovery of anti-biotics, and it represents a wave of change in how several diseases will be treated in the coming decade.
This isn't a press release about some research conducted over the weekend. If you read the article (I know it is/. tradition to never RTFA), you will see they are talking about their publication in the journal Cell, which is a pretty respected medical journal. The article was written in May, and only published a few days ago. It has been peer reviewed, and your characterization that it is just a scam for fame and fortune is a sad insight into the state of drive-by criticism so prevalent on the internet these days.
I am the person who has the subpoena and the information covered in that subponea. The judge doesn't "permit" me to hand it over, I am compelled to hand it over. It isn't my choice, if I don't obey, I go to jail. The subpoena also covers my personal e-mail as well.
Cnet never called me to discuss the article they wrote, but that is no surprise as they are sloppy in their understanding of the law as well.
P.S. At the very end of their article you will find a disclaimer that O'Grady now writes for them.

Apple vs Bloggers

· Score: 5, Informative
The reason I'm upset with Apple here is that according to this blog post, Apple went after the ISP first. That to me is a low blow. The ISP doesn't want to get in trouble with a corporate entity of Apple's size, so they'll do whatever they need to in order to get out of the crosshairs of a lawsuit.
You are upset for the wrong reasons then.
I'm the ISP / person who was subpoenaed. I have no problem telling a company the size of Apple to pound sand, I've done it twice before and been successful. When I received the initial request I refused it because it wasn't a subpoena signed by a judge.
I don't feel threatened at all by Apple. At no point has Apple or their lawyers ever "intimated" me. On the other hand the EFF has attempted to coerce and intimidate me in this matter. Their legal filings imply that my conversations in response to the subpoena from Apple were violations of federal law. The EFF cherry picks what parts of the case they want to display on their web page. Meanwhile I have a foot tall stack of filings from the case.
Jason has left out that the reason that I got into the loop at all is because he used my phone and address instead of his for his domain registration. He has since changed it to a PO Box.
His article twists words ("...can sue any journalist..." to make it seem like he is being sued. He isn't. What has been requested is that he return the material that they have asserted is their trade secret, namely the documents that the leaker sent to him.
The assumption is that Apple would be able from the documents to tell who leaked the material. Jason asserts that they don't say "Confidential" or "Trade Secret" anywhere on them. Given the Apple attitude towards secrecy, I somehow find that unlikely.
RTFA. The announcement is not that Apple is porting OS-X to run on ANY x86 box. It's that they're going to port it to run on THEIR x86 box.
But....... The drivers and core of the kernel are all opensource. So OSX/Dell is not far off at all. I expect to see OSX on generic intel within months if not weeks of a Apple/Intel product being released.
The article, along with most of the responses and "facts" are astoundingly inaccurate. I should know, I'm the person who was served the subpoenas. They have already been served (as in, they are in my hot little hands). What has been stayed is the production. "Stayed" is a $5 lawyer word for delayed. In this case delayed while the EFF and Apple work out their differences between themselves or in front of a judge. If the EFF is successful in quashing (another $5 word) the subpoena, then Apple will get nothing.
Please keep in mind that the entire linked article is based on spin from a policy analyst for the EFF. Also contrary to what was reported in MacWorld and in the documents filed by the EFF, no email has been turned over to Apple.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel. There is way too much telecom infrastructure at this point. So the few players left will just pick off the customers. If you are in an Exodus data center, run now.
I know you are trying to be funny, but I must point out that your post is factually incorrect. Setting the root password to empty will still not allow you to login over the network. You still need to setup/etc/securetty.
Grossly overlooked in all the posts I've seen so far is the fact that this also will allow you to write a new AOL server. So you could piggyback on AOLs carpet bombing of free CDs by having people just dial up a new number, and get GnuAOL.
except the evil Russian corporation which puts up his bail money
Adobe is being allowed to slip throgh the cracks by claiming that they don't agree with the prosecution. The fact is that they opened this can of worms, because they decided to bring out the big guns of the federal government on a programmer who showed how pointless ROT13 encryption is.
Hackers Unite! Do not let Adobe off the hook because they are leaving the government to do their dirty work. If they honestly believe that the federal government is wronglfully prosecuting him over their initial letter, then Adobe should post his bail. This is the strongest statement they could make.
Protesting the federal justice system and laws will have little effect on the judge. Keep beating on Adobe until the case is over.
If you want to find these kinds of acts, then when your own children, grand children, nephews, neices, etc come to you and ask what kind of science expirement to do, suggest this very experiement.
Its easy to silence one person. It is very hard to stop a distributed attack.

It is pointless to make comparisons to an event that did not happen, and actions that were not taken on the part of this child who was censored.
For the record, the exirement actually showed that while the children in her subject group tended to pick the dress on the white barbie, the adults in her group did not, and were generally evenly spread.
The message this would be sending to the theoretically offended children (of which there were none), is that racial preferences disappear with age, and that their childhood is not a valid experience for the rest of life. This message (the one covenyed by what really happened), is the opposite of the one you outline based on an incident that didn't happen.
Registrations in the.EDU domain are reserved for colleges and universities that grant degrees at the bachelor, master and doctoral level, or its foreign equivalent.......Graduate programs, remote campuses, etc., cannot obtain a.EDU Web Address of their own.
Yet the biosphere project, which doesn't grant any degrees has an edu (network solutions no less). www.bio2.edu
"Make money fast" online pyramid schemes are made illegal by the federal government and most states, but states like Nevada go ahead and create their own official pyramid scheme (lotto).
Nevada has no state lottery. It is forbidden by the Nevada state constitution, Article 4, Section 24, Subsection 1 and 2. We know how stupid they are. The nearest place to play the lottery is a small convience store on I-15 just on the other side of the california border.
First off, I agree with almost everything you wrote. I also agree with your main point - C++ won because it didn't require you to write in OOP. I'm just going to nitpick some things here
One of C++'s selling points is that you can trivially call C++ from C functions. You
can trivially call C from C++ functions. Mix-and-match as much as you like. Heck,
you can even write C++ code in C.[*] You can't do that with Objective C. [**]
Assuming that you are using an Objective-C compiler, you can easily mix C and Objective-C. You can easily call Objective-C methods from C. Look at the main.m file for any GNUstep or OSX project, and the first line in main() is a call to an Objective-C class. And you most certainly can call things like printf() from Objective-C.
Not true. The base model could be ordered with just an optical. The idea was that you could net boot it and use the optical for personal storage. But from day one, they did offer 330MB or 660MB hard drives, and recommended the 660 MB hard drives for the netbooting server.
You could if you wanted boot it off the optical. This was how you installed/reinstalled the OS.
Cannon made the opticals in a single and double sided model, but the next drive only supported reading/writing on one side, so all NeXT opticals were 256MB, You could but cannon opticals and flip them over and have another 256MB of space. Under the pre-1.0 version of the OS inserting a 256MB optical upside down would panic the machine
The most importatnt Pmni frameworks (OmniBase, OmniFoudation, OmniNetworking) have allready been ported to GNUstep, and I use them on a daily basis under linux. They work fine under GNUstep.

Oh, corn syrup causes Type I Diabetes? I thought it was from the
government shipping "radioactive milk into black and poor communities".
After all, if you are going to spout off bullshit conspiracy theories to ward off scientific research, at least pick a good one.
(BTW: I'm with you on the sugar subsidy thing. I can believe how much corn products are in everything, but it has little to do with diabetes.)

Yes, because using Google is so damn hard. Enter "Cell Journal" into Google. First link. The Article is available.
Anything in particular make you say that, or are you just horribly misinformed about the subject matter
