My wife is a candidate for SCS right now, or some type of spinal fusion. She wants to avoid the fusion, of course, but is not sure that SCS is worth the trouble. One Dr. made a comment that doing SCS first can make it more difficult to do a fusion later if it doesn't work. We're following up on that.
When you say "mixed results", is it a case of sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't? Is it predictable as to when it might work and when not?
"The main value of the site, at least to me, was always its user base." Absolutely. I also don't RTFA, because of the reasons that you stated. I'm guessing at this point I might RTFA 1-5% of the time.
Autoplay was the beginning of the loss of audience for slashdot.
Exactly this. Years ago/. said "we really like you, so you can turn ads off". Well, I really like/., so I said to myself, said I, "I don't mind a few ads. Once in a blue moon I'll actually click on something interesting. I don't mind/. making some bucks."
And then load times started getting annoying. Then...Autoplay!
Good answer, and sorry about the loss of a friend. While I understand his venom towards management of large corporations, I think SC is in a different league.
... "Nobody is going to pull the feather actuator prematurely!"
And I imagine if they *called* it the "feather actuator", perhaps nobody would have done it. From the story, every reference to the switch is as a feather unlock. To me, unlock doesn't mean actuate.
I'd be curious as to what the official nomenclature for the switch is.
Perhaps that's one reason other spacecraft use names that are very specific. I always wondered why they would, say, command the pilot to "disengage the IVVIM (Intra-Vehicular Visual Illumination Mode)" instead of telling them to "turn the light out". If the unlock switch had some god-awful name describing exactly what it did, then maybe the pilot wouldn't have thought "let's unlock this now so we'll be ready".
Yah, same here. I thought "hey, I don't mind providing a bit of monetization for them to bring Slashdot into my living room", but I experienced the same issues as you. So, off it goes.

Nonsense, that's socialism. He should have to work hard to acquire capital.
Ok, thanks for your reply.
"Yes, boats when housed together will rape each other"
So that's how we get dinghies.

That and disk-waving contests about who has the lower uid.

It's gonna be HUGE!

The video ads are what I hate the most.

I have now de-selected ads.

Good answer. Here's a fish.
You must be fun in elevators.

Interesting. I had no idea the the Three Stooges' first flick "The Women Haters Club" would be so prescient.
I had to do a bit of my own research to figure out how Magnetic Resonance Angiography could be used to diss someone.
Hear hear!
Interesting, but I still don't quite have the concept. How would you use it in a car?

It almost sounds like no-one was in the know that doing it too early would break it.
Reading comprehension fail. Rambling missive ignored after first sentence.
Thank you for that rock lyric to our favorite rock.

"You're a fool". Perhaps true, but not an "arrogant fool", as you.
