Are there already Malpractice suits for coding? I wouldn't imagine so, considering the you're-screwed-if-we-mess-up-attitude of the EULAs you have to accept when installing software. If there were a hippocratic oath, though, do you think that would change it so they ARE responsible? Then there'd probably be LOTS of "malpractice" type lawsuits from anyone who manages to make the software cause some sort of harm to their computer. I bet there would be a lot of people TRYING to make it do that..
Really only 1.2 billion for 9/11? I'd have guessed a lot more. A LOT more... maybe 1.2 trillion almost. All the business in the twin towers, the shutting down of the airlines, not wanting to travel, the workers in there, taxes to pay for damages. Was it 40 million or 40 billion that the government put aside for cleanup and stuff..?
Maybe it's offset by the employment in rebuilding the towers or something...
Hmmmm.. I know someone that's happened to. I on the other hand have one and still use it as much as the day I got it (a while ago), but I use it with a plugged in full-size keyboard for taking notes in my high-school AP biology class. It sure did fix the writers cramp I used to always get. My dad got it for me figuring it would help me learnt to take notes, and was cheaper than a laptop.
What market?

I can't help but think that that toy is targeting a rather small market. Who wants it? Certainly not people over say... 12? Most kids would want it, but who's parents would actually get it for them?
I suppose some people wouldn't mind spending $50 on a toy for a 6 year old . . . just look at LEGOs.
There's no need to keep in shape. By the time the effects are going to be noticeable (read life-threatining) medical breakthroughs will have it all taken care of... I hope....
Now I wonder if he has any patents pending. I could make it portable and market it and make millions. Seriously, though, I think I'm going to have to try this. Maybe we could do something fun like this in physics. I know it's always boring for me..:(
C'mon, you guys should be able to see what's really going on here! After printing out the article, pasting it on my wall, and drawing weird lines through it, I could clearly see that he was really sending secret codes.
That's a pretty cool idea by that Canadian University. This practice should happen more often. That way, the students with the talent and more importantly the desire can go into the field and will have a better chance to get in than, as is quite often the case, the better test taker or person with more money.

LOL!! Pure literary genius...
That reminds me of another site that is pretty cool. It just deals with movie mess-ups in general, though, not just science.
I think she said "sounds hot," but I could be mistaken

Well, I guess that kind of works... :)

Actually, I DO run crosscountry...

Really? It's always been the ol' paint by number for me. ;)
