As a parent who has gone through 7 years of infertility, I can say that I find religious objections to new fertility treatments unconscionable. The Church's belief that people who suffer from infertility should "accept the will of god" to be disgusting and akin to telling a cancer patient that they should do the same.
The grief suffered by a couple with infertility diseases is as great of that of someone dying of a terminal illness. Imagine if someone stormed into your house, kidnapped your children, and you are powerless to do anything about it. Infertility evokes the same kind of emotions.
Forbidding treatment on religious grounds adds insult to injury.
In the end, we resolved our infertility by adopting.
Apple locked down the iPhone app market to avoid the same late 80's video game crash, according to this page: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1250946
Let state that I am not an iPhone fanboi. I use the corporate iPhone for email and calendar, which it does well. It does infuriate me that I cannot make it do simple tasks like change notification volume that my POS Windows Mobile phone could. I would jailbreak it, but my boss told me "the IT department would probably junk punch him" if I did.
Well I, for one, welcome our new "Do No Evil" DNS overlords...
In Soviet Russia, Google DNS names YOU!
I wonder if they redirect misspelled entries here
In Korea, only old people use their ISP's DNS.
itsatrap!
Technology works both ways, you know. A lack of privacy empowers the people by providing them detailed knowledge about the activities and whereabouts of their legislators.
Yes, and of course you will have access to this information. That and the First Blackberry's location.
Corruption dies with privacy. It's when a government attempts to make the loss privacy a one-way affair that you need to be concerned.
It was the Atari 600XL. Thank you for correcting my faulty memory. It seems that I, like the 600XL, only have 16K of RAM at my disposal. Perhaps if you POKE me, you can get some interesting results.
This kinda makes me wonder if NASA and other space agencies purposely over-estimate the useful lives of their spacecraft. It's called CYA. It's a sign of an experienced engineer.
So the plan to combat this is to create hacked copies of DVDs containing flash updates that would break their player. Stealthfully replace actual DVDs at your local Blockbuster with your hacked version.
Laugh maniacally while local chaos ensues...

I seem to get a burst of creativity around 30 minutes before the end of the day, especially if I have to be somewhere after work.
Yay! I can DDoS my competitors and have Google endorse it!

If we let down our guard then the terrorists win.
In Soviet Russia, wall gardens YOU!
Software programmers like their hardware to do what its told & don't like it when the hardware says "um, no."
Something also embedded into Uranus. Good luck with that ;-P
You, sir, owe me a new monitor and a cup of coffee.
How do you think they can pull up a camera display from anywhere on the Enterprise? Weave this stuff into the walls.
Oh, wait...
/me adjusts tinfoil hat.
Give me the ability to run non-apple background services and customizable alerts. Until then, it's just "Pretty but Dumb".
I still have the Osbourne 1 luggable running CP/M. It still works if I could find a working 5 1/4" floppy that still worked. 28 years.
Well, I for one welcome our new Carbon Nanotube strong-arm robotic overlords.
Screw Ebay, put them on Craigslist.
And you can still get a fortune off of "shipping and handling"!
Why I have three laptops that I have shipped to desperate buyers in Nigeria that paid me double my asking price!
Now I'm off to the bank to cash this pile of checks! Laugh Laugh Laugh!
Well I'm a crazy [insert whatever] who wants to know why the hell we're giving handouts for TV for anybody! Nobody will die without American Idol.
You are forgetting a key point - the TV keeps the unwashed masses placated. It's not as appealing to riot when you're missing American Idol.
In Soviet Russia, American Idol watches YOU!
*BASH*
Bourne Again SHell - I remember when I first learned of it, thinking "Wow! Unix meets Jesus!".

Ahh. Atari 600, I pine for thee.
"Japanese robot company Cyberdyne... a belted device called HAL..."
Cyberdyne? HAL?? There's no _way_ i'm strapping one of these to my crotch!
I'm sorry Dave. Hasta la Vista, baby.
All your base are belong to us!
Television is a necessary component for our government. $1.5 Billion is a good investment on two counts:
1) The billions the government can rake in in radio frequency auctions
2) Continuance of a medium to keep the unwashed masses under control.
