We have to be careful that we do not lose our identity as a country of freedom via our efforts to protect that freedom.
Too late. Bush-Cheney have remade the image of the USA: we are now a country that tortures, snoops on its citizens at whim and overthrows countries on spec. Sometimes I feel like weeping. It will take generations to undo the damage this administration has wrought.
So far, Internet television products such as Apple Inc.'s Apple TV have largely been unsuccessful, stymied by a poor selection of videos, complexity of use and other shortcomings.
Yeah, but it's clear that Jobs is about to turn the Eye of Sauron on the long-neglected Apple TV segment of the product line. Looks like he'll have some competition right off the bat.
Evolutionary designs in fact often arrive at designs that match exactly various patents.
According to TFA the particulars of Cisco's patent were fed to the program for the purpose of excluding those features. Presumably this would work for other problems.
Why do we investigate politicians for corruption *AFTER* they fuck things up
One of my favorite lines from Arthur C. Clarke goes something like: "In the late 20th century it was decided that the only absolute disqualification for holding public office was the desire to do so."
when you're learning you remember things like 'step cross reverse step etc' but after a while you forget this and just remember the muscle movements, leaving your brain free
Yeah, it's an interesting phenomenon. I learned to play Bach's Bourée on the guitar when I was a teenager, and I can still play it 35 years later as long as I don't think about it. If I just let my hands do it, the music comes right out.
It astonishes me that the morons at Hal Leonard can't see that MXTabs is analogous to the iTunes Music Store: a different-yet-profitable delivery system. The letter refers to the easy availability of digital sheet music, ignoring the fact that a single song typically costs US$5.00, far more than it's worth to garage musicians. Licensed tabs that are ad-supported or reasonably-priced will generate revenue.
Equally astonishing (well, not really) is that the *AAs haven't realized that tablature is useless without a copy of the song it represents. Basic tablature doesn't completely specify a work in the way that standard notation does, so someone who downloads a tab will need an audio file. And not all of those audio files will be pirated, as recent studies indicate. It's a gain for music sales in general.
what does having a (basically) fake boob to play with change how you look at breast cancer
From TFA:
Professor Louise Jones, professor of breast pathology at the Institute of Cancer at Queen Mary, University of London, explained that they needed to develop a test tube model that was more complex than a layer of cells in a Petri dish.
Cells in the body grow in three dimensions. Hence the title of this submission.
We were stationed at the airbase in Great Falls when I was a kid, and as I recall the horizon was basically featureless except for a cluster called the Little Belt mountains. The view looked artificial, almost like a theater cyclorama.

Linkin Park songs...You'll be amazed at how different they aren't.
Somebody took two songs, pitch-shifted one (and probably tweaked the timing a bit) and built an MP3 with one song in each speaker.

I wish he made the sequel: _The Neighbor Of The Beast_.
Somebody beat him to it.
Get yourself one of these.
Apple TV would have sold better if it had the ability to download content directly from iTMS
Exactly. I wonder if there will be an upgrade announced in a couple of weeks.

We'll only really know the full impact of this if/when other acts start doing it.
Well, at least one other has done it, and Trent Reznor--being contract-free now--will probably follow suit shortly.

Curiously enough just imaginging doing something is mentally equivalent to actually doing it.
Yeah, that's how I commit chord sequences to memory now. Randy Newman's music has some excruciating chords when played on the guitar...

when it emerges that the card was stolen is the TV shop out 6k?
Yep. The merchants absorb the cost of fraud, and the CC companies have very little incentive to create effective fraud-prevention measures.
in case you don't have a flat surface available
Where am I going to put the computer, then? I use the keyboard far more than the mouse.
Not familar with Jack Chick?!! I thought Dark Dungeons was required reading for Slashdotters.
it's their right to believe what they choose
Apparently it's not. (The study was done on the U.S. population but I have no doubt it can be generalized for all humanity.)
Sorry. There was this whooshing sound that, um, destroyed my concentration. Yeah, that's it.
The very first statement was blatantly false and misleading and the last was "Lame". That looks like classic flamebait to me.

Heh. Sounds like the Pirahna brothers' original plan.
Next up: Dostoevsky scholars denied access to source materials because they couldn't not think of a white bear.
Wow. Distributed Core Wars.
