I'm sure this has already been said in every post on this thread, but I don't have time to read every post. So as we all know, Federal Funding will not be provided for any new embryonic stem cell lines. And Bush clearly stated last night that there were 60 different lines. First, I want to say that most researchers agree that there are currently only at most 12 stem cell lines, and that these may not provide the results needed to go very far in this field. My 9 year old brother has Type I, or to some Juvenile, diabetes. My mother had ovarian cancer. And my grandmother passed away inflicted with more diseases than I care to count. I think that if one of Bush's daughters or his wife were inflicted with a disease that had the possibility to be cured through stem cell research, then he might break his little campaign promise. Now of course these are just gripes and won't go anywhere, but I think that a lot of us can agree that the smart masses are calling out for more from the President than what he's done. He gave us some, but like starving orphans, we want somemore.

Comcast has proven to be a reliable company as far as tech support and basic installations go. But as soon as something goes wrong that they have to tend to in person, it seems you can't get anyone out. Now I know that they hire contractors to do something like line drops (which I need), but you'd think that a big company like them would hire competent and reliable people, especially for a DC-Metro area customer, which is a pretty big customer base on this part of the coast.

I know, as a Comcast customer, that they offer five routable IPs for an additional fee.
