You still have to inject 'something' in your bloodsteam, if not insulin, then anti rejection drugs...
Drug for drug i'd still prefer to take insulin over anti rejection drugs; it has been tested and used for a long time and requires no surgical intervention.
Girls don't go into IT because of societal and social reasons, not because their gender holds them back.
In other words... Girls don't go into IT because the gender role stereotype they have ingrained in their minds (due to societal and social reasons) holds them back.
It's not because they can't, it's because they won't.
"I don't know how other people feel about this, but for me, the Secure Digital format is pretty close to being as small as I want to get. I don't want to have to use tweezers to get my memory into and out of devices."
Yes, but the average taiwanese guy is about 2/3 the size of your average american, so there you are.
What they said... The foil and the material are designed to:
Absorb the electromagnetic waves generated from the battery.
Generate a flow of negative ions.
Interact with the battery's internal electrolyte and ions.
What they forgot to say... THROUGH the battery's plastic case!
Oh come on give me a break... are they saying that the sticker operates on the battery's internal structure/chemistry through IMPERMEABLE PLASTIC?
Maybe if the sticker was coated in nanotech enhanced snake oil that would have worked, but with ceramic it's a tough call.
Slashdot Mirror
Once I 'wetted' some zinc chips with hydrochloric acid in a closed matchbox. After some time I lit a match and held it close to the matchbox's edge.
What happened after was more of a pop than an explosion but my ears rang for about ten minutes.
Good thing I had put on my safety goggles before, otherwise I would't be reading Slashdot.
Playing with water will get you exploded, even more suprisingly!
... computer hackers have known this for quite a while now.
3,000-square-foot? I have a front yard bigger than that..
A typo? Or is this whole thing just a sad joke?
Hey, we're speaking of *NANO* tubes here.
Here is what a value in trillions looks like.
Enjoy.

"Besides, the reason no virus does this is because it needs an operational machine."
....
Hah!
Well know stratagem employed by a good number of destructive viruses...
1) Spread to as many machines as you can...
2) Lock all hard drives on a specific date...
3)
4) Profit! *
* For us techs obviously!
Spammers spam and get money for it.
Where do you think Australia[ns] came from in the first place??
Same place where Americans came from by any chance?

I did not see any cleavage there!
That's a pretty good account of how society as we know it will end;
It won't be atomic war...
It won't be biological warfare...
It won't be nanotechnology running wild...
It WILL BE bad accounts.
Of course if you'd sell any of those you'd have to distribute with it the source and the GPL.
Oh, by GPL I mean GNU Pet License.
I theorise that we are not sentient at all... We just THINK we are sentient.

I have a couple of ideas about some other places where I could stick that!

And no, it's not where you're thinking
"I naturally started to use Borgish management methods."
What about Klingon management methods?Well, everything is relative... whichever way you take that phrase, it still holds true.
Relatively speaking that is.
If they're radio controlled... can't you just jam the signal?
I managed to read that as "Cooking with Linus"
That would have made a great article.

"He can click the buzzer faster than any human mind could comprehend. He wins becuase no one else gets a chance to answer."
Maybe they should ask him 'How do you manage to beat your opponents?' as a quiz question.
"And even if we could get to it, what would we do? Poke at it with the rock abrasion tool?"
Hmm... why not!
I mean, is there anything else more entertaining to do in the vicinity?
Once while I was drunk my best friend's bastard brother decided it was real fun to shine a laser pointer into my right eye....
The results were the following:
1) Complete blindness for more than a week
2) Decreased dioptres (increased short sightedness) in the affected eye.
Fortunately I did not suffer any significant/permanent retinal damage, however, my right eye is still slightly worse at focusing than my left one.
