Why are people asking what kind of stem cells were used? It states in the freaking article: umbilicle.
Why are people stating the Bush administration limited stem cell research? He cut federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Good. Maybe they should cut all funding for all research except for defense purposes and give the people their money back. If I want to support some tyoe of research, I can give them the money. If you want my money so you can do research, and I do not want to give to you, touch luck... I don't care. Robbery is a crime. Why are so many people obsessed with the idea of living in a nanny state? You cried and moaned and got angry with your parents for acting that way... then when you finally got out from under their thumb, you missed it and want the gov't to be your mommy and wipe your behind. Stop whining. Do something useful. If you cannot event admit that embryonic stem cell research is contraversial, you are a lost cause.
...that you have a selective reading habit. THis antrax is used to create vaccines. I, for one, am glad for it. I have been vaccinated because of it, and so have all the other deployed service people. You guys always want it both ways (e.g. Provide the troops with the tools, but handicap the ability to actual get the tools to them). Regardless of your feeling about the war, if one of your family members was involved, you would want them vaccinated against every biological agent you could think of. Food for thought.
Being in the Hoosier state which is on EST all year round, rather than switching EDT, we have a unique perspective. Our legislation finally passed DST for us this year. We have heard all of the crazy rambles against it. These are same rambles that everyone is arguing about extending DST.
Here is something ridiculous. People do NOT actually think that we are affecting the Earth's rotation, so stop telling everyone that they are idiots for thinking so (obviously, there most likely are a few out there, but not the general populus). We are shifting our schedule so that we have more daylight during the majority of people's waking hours. Since we consume more resources when we are awake, being able to use sunlight for longer, rather than artificial lighting, we WILL be saving resources. The crazy thing is... I see mostly tree hugging liberals complaining about DST (that and the hillbilly portion of the conservative group). This is actually a move for better treatment of the environment. Now, let me qualify that statement by saying this is what I found in the debate in Indiana. Perhaps the national debate will not have tree hugging liberals being hypocritical, it is still young... we have been fighting for DST in Indiana for decades with the hillbillies being the resistance for twenty years, and the tree huggers doing if for the past ten when the hillbillies IQ, on average, seemed to jump about 10-15 points higher. Why were the tree huggers in Indiana against it? Because it was proposed by our recently gotten Republican majority in the House and Senate in our state government, and the end of a 16 year governorship by Democrats. The DST issue was brought up by Republicans, and they want them to fail... plain and simple.
So let's all agree. We do not actually think we are changing the Earth's rotation. We know that the actually number of daylight hours will remain the same. We also know that there will be some difficult adjustments. However, ten years from now, it will be a distant memory, and we will be consuming less resources because we have more naturally produced resources during the time when we will be using them.
Do not let this become silly partisan BS like it did in Indiana... we all know this is really the right thing to do, so let's do it. Liberals, for the most part, because we are being a more green society, and conservatives, for the most part, because it will be more economical.
I myself, being an ultra-conservative, economically, and a moderate, to slightly right, social conservative who rather side on the grounds of common sense... I like it from all angles. Save money, use less resources, which reduces foreign reliance on oil, increases security, and makes for cleaner air and water for us all to live with.
at least to me, is whether we care what Newsweek has to say about anything. Obviously, the Slashdot crowd hangs out in Leftsville, for the most part, but being moderate, I would hope that they could appreciate the apprehensiveness I am expressing.
It's great to see so many people trying to be philosphical about something that they can not comprehend. I am completely speculating (but so is most everyone else here), but I would think at least 95% of the people posting were not born or even in gestation during WWII. Heck, your parents probably were not either.
You have read a couple of history books that give you some highlights about a war. The highlights often have some spin, or perhaps your history teacher adds some spin to them. Here is a news flash... people die during war. Sometimes they die a gruesome death. Sometimes war is necessary. Many times, we would rather not go to war, but we must, so we do. And in all of the times that we go to war, people die. It is a tradgedy to lose a human life, but it does become necessary. It is painful. It sucks. It is life.
Quit trying to condemn people. You have not been there. You can say what you would have done... but not even you know what you actually would have done. It is the same BS that is going on right now. Just give it a rest, because you really do not know what you are talking about.
Why don't we ask the government to do less? They suck at most everything they do, they spend too much doing it, and perhaps I would like to be able to do decide what I do instead of making more laws and regulations that hurt our people and our economy. ISPs can offer filtering services, if we wish to use them, or we can buy software or security hardware, if we choose. Heck, PC makers could offer "secure" products, where the PC has all the extra stuff in it from purchase. Just keep the government out of my life! Next thing you know, this will be the Soviet States of America.
Alienware had one. Let me see if I can find it... I guess they do not have it anymore... but they do have P4 with Hyperthreading, and RAID 0 or 1... all in a laptop:
...that maybe IBM just doesn't like Europeans? Not that I have anything against Europeans. I do have quite a bit of resentment for their politics, but that is another issue. These people obviously want to keep their jobs, but, IBM is trying to finish their transition to a services-oriented company. I am not entirely sure if these layoffs are part of that transition, or not. Just something to think about.
They could even make a trilogy going back really far that is unrelated. I do not care much for VII, VIII, and IX... I have read the plots, and they seem lame. I hope those were pieced together from EU stuff, and it is not what Lucas had in mind. Besides, I would hate to see another actor portray Luke, and Mark Hammill is too old now.
I do not think "states' rights or bust" is a conservative stance. States' right vs. Federal rights is just another checks and balances, like the three branches. If did have the attitude of states' rights above all else, we would still have slavery, and that was a conservative movement. Further, this is a federal issue, as it can effect interstate commerce, which has precedent for 100% federal control.
French courts ruled against Yahoo!, and Yahoo! told them to shove it. The U.S. also gave Yahoo! the green light. It is quite ridiculous for the French to stifle competition. If people do not like it, they do not have to use Google. I do not hear many people, besides the French gov't. complaining. Do the French people, themselves, feel this way?
You should not have an IT budget at all. You need to come up with a cost per client machine for cost and support. This would include costs to cover network equipment related to a client machine. Then each department needs to allocate the amount of money needed to IT to support it. Any info. systems needed will be paid for by the departments that use them.
Simple as that.
At that point, always try to find ways to reduce the price of services provided.
I am absolutely tired of hearing all of this FUD about the USA PATRIOT Act. Have any of the people that are against this thing even read it? Or, is it that they do not comprehend it? Or, perhaps it is that they just want to lie and mislead of others about it? Surprisingly, the document is written in clear and consice English... and very comprehendable. Also, the document does not make new laws or precendents... is merely makes small modifications to existing laws.
The best thing about the USA PATRIOT Act, in contrast to other items, is that individual portions can be made invalid if found to be violating rights, and that the document stipulates that the Constitution of the USA should be used to determine anything questionable. Sounds like the same foresight that has let the Constitution itself transcend time.
The point is, this is all FUD. I do not care if I get modded down; it will just prove what ignorance exists (the people who mod me down will be objected to the USA PATRIOT Act and be offended by what I have stated, but they most likely have not read the document).
Switch is right. Cisco is not really all that concerned with routers anymore. There real concern is with switches. As a matter of fact, Cisco began selling more switches than routers some time ago (5+ years). And more importantly, those switches are now filling in for a few routers as it is. I do not think that XORP is going to make a dent. Besides, a lot of places like to stick with one vendor. If I am running Cisco switches, I am going to be running Cisco routers. It uses the same interface, and they play nice when you are doing things like VLANs and 802.1q trunking and some of the new authentication stuff.
That is all there really is to it. Last WINE enabled game I played was Starcraft. I liked Quake II, but that was native. I have to admit that I have not really been into games all that much as of the last few years.
I think getting to work on this project would be quite fun. You get to be involved in a large deployment. And, a deployment like this is never over... so there is some sense of jobs security. A lot of you will say negative things, it is the Slashdot norm, but hey, it is driving innovation... everything bad about can be experienced on the Internet as a whole, this just makes it easier. So, please keeps the negative comments to a minimum... This project really needs all the support it can get. It has a big chance for failure all by itself, it does not need any help there. But, if it is successful, that is another win for geeks around the world!
Hmm considering that W lost money on oil, and actually made his money from his ownership of the Texas Rangers baseball team, I think you are asking for it, Mr. Flamebait.
Yes, this has happened, but not in a peer-to-peer sense. This allows the peer-to-peer infrastructure to be used to distribute, but also makes sure that licensed material is tracked and accounted for.

Serious... how can someone mod this offtopic? Lawyers are the reason for this crap.
Mwa ha ha
Why would we not fix desktop security first? We have not yet helped Microsoft enough.
we had facilities where we could breed and look over endangered species here in North America.
