It seems to me that the main challenge in growing whole limbs would be the initial attachment of the new limb. Connecting nerves and tiny blood vessels is very difficult and fairly inexact as it is.
Secondly, what about the nerves? You spend the first couple *years* of your life learning motor coordination and skills. I would imagine that it would be very very difficult for an adult to learn to use appendages he/she never had to begin with. We know that certain parts of the brain are more hardwired than others, and that rewiring can occur, but that, as well, is something we've only begun to dabble in.
me and my friends split off and run off of our own little server now, usually hanging at about 18-25 users with no more than 5-6 channels at any given time.
i remember being on AOL when i first started out back in 1995, and, IIRC AOL had a coulple hundred thousand subscribers, but at any given time, only about 20k were online at a time
(this was well before most people ever touched any online/internet service, and when they did, it was brief because you were charged per minute, which adds up fast)
This is *BOOOOOMMMMM*cool cool, I think *BOOOOOMMMMM* i'm gonna try it *BOOOOOMMMMM* for my home *BOOOOOMMMMM* theatre!! The low end *BOOOOOMMMMM* would add a*BOOOOOMMMMM* lot to the experience*BOOOOOMMMMM*.
I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry......but noone else had said it and it was KILLING me (like when Cartman has to finish Come Sail Away everytime someone starts singing it)
if the teacher can't understand your writing, then it's not very effective writing. But maybe that's just me being picky.
dont forget the notion that it matters what the purpose of the writing is to be. If it is a test of technical writing/composition skills, then it would be very bad. However, if it was a creative writing of some sort, then what would the problem be?
additionally, in the wireless setup this guy's talking about, you need *1* $170 access point per 250 connections...thats quite cost effective as opposed to supporting even 16 or so modems.
who says that he has to be built like arnold?? i think it would be better if he were a nice 6'2"/3" will a big frame, but all muscled up would be kind of stupid. Comic books draw him that way because its art (the hero has to be physically perfect)...
IMHO it would make for a MUCH better movie to have a normal sized athletic guy playing him. I think i'd enjoy it more, because, seriously, what would Superman lift when "pumping up"??
Keanu does VERY well in movies where he is the one being manipulated by the plot/environment, for example:
1. in the Matrix, he spent 3/4 of the movie in awe of the revelations and truths he was shown
2. in Speed, he was being manipulated by Dennis Hopper's psycho character...the point is that Keanu does NOT do well in roles that his character advances the plot and/or takes on leadership roles, he can only act "awed" and "damn, what do i do now" well...he's not the leader character.
the Toby Spider-Man was *supposed* to be that Peter Parker (no confidence, nerd, no friends),...if you became a super hero wouldnt it boost your self-esteem and change you to a cooler cat?
So the artists would have to fight the p2p folks instead of the RIAA to get paid?
The thing to remember here is two-fold, though:
1. the artists dont make jack off of record sales. They make money on royalties (if they wrote the song) from radio air-play, and much more, from performing. My mom cut a record back in the 80's, on the one song she wrote from her album, she made *i think* about $0.05 per sale of the album. The artists that perform make the most money off their work.
2. a lot of artists *like* the free music initiative because they know that it will help them in the long run. as billy corgan from the smashing pumpkins said "Music wants to be free," he went on to talk about how inherently wrong it is to charge for intellectual property in the first place
just my thoughts, yo.

Think about it! These guys run one of the most successful businesses in the world! Yet they act like this...but, one things for sure, they're NOT a monopoly, cuz they said so.
Duke University's law school received an anonymous gift of $1 million for the express purpose of funding '...advocacy and research aimed at curtailing the recent expansion of copyright law.' It's good to know that we have some well-funded idealists on our side, even if they are 'Anonymous Cowards.'
It was Bill G... He's realized the error of his ways and wants to repent, but the peer pressure keeps him from claiming his deeds for himself. Swear to God.
New products like this make me feel like I'm not keeping up fast enough. I bought a 100GB drive last spring and it's not even half full yet!
If you've had the 100gb that long and its not at least half full, you're not downloading NEARLY enough porn. Come ON, man!! Get with the program!? This is the Internet we're talking about, history's foremost repository of nudity, filth, and general sexual sin. Slack-ass.
