there has to be a big downside. I suspect that this dramatically increases cancer risk.
According to the (too brief) article, ordinary mice injected with the cells also were able to regenerate lost organs. So rather than an inherent trait, this can be applied only when the benefits overwhelm any risk.
The potential is so enormous that I'm amazed this is not getting more coverage. It makes me suspicious. Googling for news reports containing "Heber-Katz" returns only two articles!
I mean seriously, you expect me to believe that AOL has 92 million paying customers?
Not if you'd RTFA, and noticed where it said "The stolen list of 92 million AOL addresses included multiple addresses used by each of AOL's estimated 30 million customers."
when will/. join the modern age and let people edit their posts?!
I don't think that'd work out too well. The trolls are bad enough. With editing they'd make some post good enough to get modded up, then change it to something ridiculous. Or the other way around.
The moderation system would be thoroughly broken. And despite its shortcomings, without the moderation system Slashdot would be nearly unreadable.
What if we instead released a Games SDK so you could write your own or clean it up yourself?
That'd be very interesting. Is that being considered? As an aside, If you send the code for the current one I'll fix it up and send it back. My assumption is that there's little platform-specific code in there, and that things that look fine in Windows don't work out so well when the same applet is run on a Mac. Fonts and font sizes, for instance.
this came from the new Y! Developer Network (my team, based in Sunnyvale)
Next time you run into the guy in charge of the chess applet can you get him to fix it up a bit? It's functional, but if someone spent an afternoon or two of clean up on it it could be a lot better.
doesn't this sound like butterfly racism? If this were, in fact, a provable, natural, biological mechanism, then, wouldn't we, as biological organisms, be falling prety to much the same effect?
Of course racism is natural. That's how your brain works. It jumps to conclusions based on little evidence whenever it sees something new that it's trying to categorize. If your neighbor who is just like you trips and falls, you think "that guy's clumsy." But if you see a blue person trip and fall, you think "blue people are clumsy." You can't stop it from happening. What you can do is understand the process and rise above it intellectually. But deep down your brain is always jumping to conclusions and making "racist" judgments.
The only people who bail because of a processor change will be the same people who burned their records when they found out Milli Vanilli was not the two guys on stage. Did the music suddenly sound any different, or had they been buying the records because of the image of the performers?
Maybe. But to me, it smells more like "you must use our hardware so we make more profit"
While no doubt Apple doesn't mind making more money, they almost certainly have to be in a position where they have to live up to a lot of promises. Jobs was able to persuade the recording companies to do something no one else was able to. Part of that persuasion had to have included promises and demonstrations that Apple could "prevent" widespread distribution of purchased song files.
And the next big step Apple would like to take is to convince them to lower prices. They can't do that if the recording companies don't see Apple living up to its promises, and demonstrating that they are in control.
1) doesn't let you finish typing before it searches.
Oddly, if I use the search oval (or whatever it's called) that's in a finder window, I'm sunk. Each character behaves exactly as you say, and I have to wait until it "finds" each substring. But if I use the spotlight oval in the menu bar, I can at least continue typing. But for me it would be a whole lot more useful if it would wait for me to tell it to "OK, now that's I've actually defined what I'm looking for, go ahead and search." The way it acts now is more like a demo than a tool.
And that damn indexing. I think it's Apple's new DRM. Start any downloads and enjoy the pleasantness of the Thrashing Disk Symphony to accompany it. And there's also no way to stop it. No "I'd like to get some work done right now, so please stop churning the disk for a while" option.
In other news, Amazon says you should read more books, and Campbell says soup is good food.

Well, if you want to have your own special definition of beta there you go. I'm just going with what the software engineering industry uses, since I work in it after all.
I have a hunch I've been in the software business a lot longer than you have, since I've been in it since it barely was an industry. And considering that on your website you call yourself a "computer science student," I don't think you can draw on your vast experience, either. In fact, it looks like you've been "in the industry" since around May 21st. The definition I gave is not "my own special" one. It is the proper meaning. If marketing pressures and compromised integrity have corrupted the word in the eyes of pie-eyed fresh Microsofties such as yourself, then you owe it to yourself to learn a little more about your chosen profession.
On your site you say "I'm completely new to developing commercial software," and yet somehow you are magically endowed with understanding of "the industry" and a word you only heard as a teenager, and which probably meant to you little more than "free stuff you can't buy yet."
Here's an article that might help explain the term a little better. I realize it was written way back in 1997, when you were maybe 13 or 14 years old, and so you'll probably not give it much credence. But if you're going to continue on "in the industry" it might do you some good to have an appreciation for its history.
In no way does beta imply that the product is feature-complete.
Yes it does. In every way. Beta means "As far as we know, everything is done. It's passed our internal testing. Now we're going to do outside testing to make sure."
If it's not feature complete, then it's in alpha (at best). Beta is the last step before release. If you're still adding code, no way are you in beta.

Now you're just making stuff up.
Well sure, if you don't read it. From TFA:
I've lived in five countries that are not the USA. In every one there have been plenty of giant SUVs and air conditioning.
Not if you'd RTFA, and noticed where it said "The stolen list of 92 million AOL addresses included multiple addresses used by each of AOL's estimated 30 million customers."

If your first statement is true, then I don't think you have to worry much about the second. I confess I have some doubts, though.
The only people who bail because of a processor change will be the same people who burned their records when they found out Milli Vanilli was not the two guys on stage. Did the music suddenly sound any different, or had they been buying the records because of the image of the performers?

Yes it does. In every way. Beta means "As far as we know, everything is done. It's passed our internal testing. Now we're going to do outside testing to make sure."
If it's not feature complete, then it's in alpha (at best). Beta is the last step before release. If you're still adding code, no way are you in beta.
So then when they call this a beta they really mean alpha.
That seem more like an example of chaos at MacAfee.
If you're thinking about changing it, I suggest "Macs don't annoy people. Mac users do."
Just a thought.
(I'm one of those annoying people.)
I think you need a leap integer in there somewhere.
