There are no "extra" organs. A kidney donor's physiological reserve is diminished after donation. Sure, the donor can live to a ripe old age with just one kidney - provided nothing ever goes wrong. However their ability to deal with extreme cases like infection, toxicity and pH/electrolyte imbalances is compromised and they tend to die a lot faster in these situations than a person with two functional kidneys.
All surgery has risk. But I agree that this action was highly unethical and harmful to the patient, whose mental health issues (valuing an iPod over a kidney is not an expected attitude) should have been addressed first. Not to mention that according to TFA the hospital is not qualified to perform transplants, so the organ was probably "wasted".
It makes no sense. You believe that all the blood vessels and capillaries of the heart are lined up in parallel, do you? This might theoretically increase blood flow to some blood vessels, while hampering flow to others.
And how much of that as a direct or indirect result of the use of macros?
Absolutely none. I do use multiple accounts, and I do use multiple monitors and PC's. But I do not use bots.
And my point is that Windows malware is then also not worthy of attention, because it also requires the user's approval to be installed. Which makes your point rather silly, since all malware on any OS now requires explicit permission to install.
You do know that Windows malware requires the user to click on something to install it as well, right? Or are you trying to compare today's Apple OS with Windows 95?
Hah, my first virus was given to me on a legitimate shrink wrapped copy of some Borland software. Object-Vision I think it was. This was way back in 1990 or so, when viruses were still fairly new.
just because you paid more for your gadget doesn't make it "cool". You want cool I invite you to come see my screaming 4+GHz water-cooled rig (pun intended).
Remember this is mac users we're talking about. People who were stupid enough to pay 3 times the price for mediocre hardware. Of course they will roll over and hand over their credit card numbers. Especially if the dialog box that asks them to do so is shiny or has a cute logo.
Just in case anyone was wondering about the age of this "news", I found an article from 2010 but I'm sure there's older. Ahh the internet, endlessly recycling news until it becomes new again.

Hahaha how can anyone be talking about Sony and multiplayer in the same sentence now.
IF piquepaille was any indication - when he is dead.

That idea is so 1990's. There is a reason the dot-com bubble burst.
Why rise up when there's plenty of bread (read "easy credit") and circuses (read "tv/movies/internet/shiny iPhones") to go around...
No, what's despicable is that some individuals consider themselves to be above the law, in the name of human rights.

Returning power to the people usually happens just before an emperor is created. Historically I mean. Caveat emptor.
You are part of the problem until you become part of the solution.
Black or white thinking detected, please take your meds. Ahh no, it's an anonymous coward. Fair enough, carry on.
Er, wait, er NO CARRIER
Not to mention that the DMCA fails to apply at all in places like Russia.

The worst part, we can't fire these idiots.
Sure you can. But it will take blood.

they leave the genre entirely instead of going for another game.
This is a good thing for those of us who play the other games.
Certainly not, I'm 43 and am actively involved in an alliance in EVE Online and make 250 million ISK a day.

For the same reason people would slow down to try to see your decapitated corpse on the freeway after a car wreck.

You have obviously not seen this "chick".

It would take a heck of a lot of them to slow the rotation of the Earth enough to get back to where we were before the Japan and Chile earthquakes...
