  2. Re:Epipen cost: $30, regulatory costs: $30 mil+ on Hackers Offer a DIY Alternative To The $600 EpiPen (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Save the pseudo-drama for medical tv shows. IF you can't (because you waited too long silly person) someone next to you can. And if you can't crack an ampule and draw 0.5cc, then you probably need to pay $600 and even then you probably won't use it right. Stay home.

    Exact same argument applies to Epi-Pen. It's no good in the other room/at home/glove box of your car, etc. But if it costs $5 instead of $600 there's a good chance you can have more than one and have them all over. Also - injecting does not require a nurse. Diabetics and their family members have been injecting themselves for a while. Insulin is FAR riskier than epinephrine sc/im. What YOU are worried about is LAWYERS. Shame on you, when someone's life is at stake. The training is, like I said, not hard. Put the legal cowardice away - especially when you realize that law tends to be different in an emergency when people's lives are at stake, unless you live in a place with really crazy laws.

    the autoinjector is intended to be used by untrained people.

    The "training" in this case takes literally 5 minutes if you are a slow reader. I refuse to have that used as an excuse for a $600 (or even a $50) "auto-injector". Blah blah blah you're not qualified to say this what are you a doctor? Yes. Yes I am a medical doctor.

  5. The firing company. Last one out turn off the light. This means you, Satya.

  6. The CIA needs to know which floor you are on to direct the drone's missile properly.

  7. The study showed that nearly 36 percent of Americans say they would be so apprehensive using a driverless vehicle that they would only watch the road.

    Short sighted study. People get used to things. And the generation that has never seen anything but a driverless car will not be about as nervous as a passenger on a commercial jet. Funny how people manage to read, sleep and even have sex on those.

    I was referring more about the Logitech joysticks and controllers. AFAIK Saitek does not make mice.

  9. Re:Goodbye Quality on Logitech Buys Saitek (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    Logitech was never poor quality for lack of engineers. It was/is poor quality because of the shitty pots (potentiometers) they use in their products that cause them to require constant recalibration after only months of use, and are totally worthless as little as a year after purchase. Saitek used higher quality, though I guess that's all going to change now.

    Be that as it may, even a broken clock tells the time correctly twice a day. Automatically discarding something that makes sense just because you don't like the source is foolishness.

  22. Seriously - the fact that most people use it for porn should tell them that - most people want to watch porn. It's kind of silly to try to act all paternalistic and stuff and say that this is wrong - but in fact apparently it's Google that is wrong and immature, unable to accept a basic truth about the human condition.

    No one has told you that accusation = guilt nowadays huh? How do you think they can justify drone strikes, regime change, etc. They were bad people, so we killed them. Welcome to the brave new world.
