  1. not much of an article on Stem Cells in the Heart? · · Score: 1
    but, the thing I do find very interesting about the heart is that it performs bypasses on itself. Lets say you have a pretty much blocked artery - your heart will know this and actually start making a new artery to the deO2'ed affected part. Pretty neat if you ask me... I can't wonder if these 'stem' cells have anything at all to do with it, but you never know I guess.

    The only thing we have now is, "Which do we kill for stem cells... the old fuckers like myself (jk) or the unborn"

  2. I've found that on Treasures or Trash, 5 PC Cases for Gamers · · Score: 1

    as long as you go with a name brand, you are *usually* ok... I'm using a cheap case I got on sale at newegg for 35 bucks... nothing fancy about it, but its a midsize and holds my water cooling just fine.

  3. uhhhhhh on A DNA Database For All U.S. Workers? · · Score: 1

    The mayor said DNA and fingerprint technology could be used to create a worker ID database since our fingerprints are all unique, shouldn't we just use those? Helllooooo Gattaca

  4. so uh... on AT&T Accidentally Leaks NSA Suit Information · · Score: 1

    whos colbert? Comedy Central ?

  5. 100 bucks says on AT&T Accidentally Leaks NSA Suit Information · · Score: 1

    this news won't make any sort of news outside the internet.... what a sad state of affairs...

  6. and what better place than announce it than on on Symantec AntiVirus Hole Found · · Score: 1

    the site where quite a few people of intellegence read their news daily. Both good and bad, of course.

  7. So google is on Dell Installs Google Software at Factory · · Score: 1
    basically saying that the intraweb would be useless without them... they might just have a point

    Hah.... morons

  8. thats all right on Student Faces Expulsion for Blog Post · · Score: 4, Insightful

    we weren't using our rights anyways........ dot dot dot

  9. in other words on Microsoft Launches First Shared Source Contest · · Score: 4, Insightful

  10. I am the only one who on Windows Media Player 11 and Urge · · Score: 0
    just wants a MP3 OGG MPEG player that has no frills? I just want a graphic equilizer and a couple of visual options and i'm golden. Oh wait, thats what they called *I was going to link this*the old version of winamp *but it looks like the AOL owned company even offers that anymore*.

    I guess I don't get the whole "fix it if it isn't broken" mentality.

    Heres where someone needs to chime in and mention that i'm forgetting about 8.1 surround sound and other high def things... my retort - i think i'm like most in that my needs are simple - and think that something that will make an air conditioner sound in a movie sound, is lame.

    I'm going to play some battlefield 2 now (btw, we need to add modifiers that say "what the hell +1"

  11. And what if you get lag out there man? on Robotic Telesurgery by Remote Surgeons · · Score: 1

    I heard there were no respawn points......

    dont ask how i got it

  13. Re:security over privacy on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 1
    the concept of freedom itself says nothing about preventing others from knowing what you are doing

    Uh ok... well the concept of freedom itself says nothing about people being able to spy on your daily activities. It goes both ways in this direction and your direction is towards a dictatorship. Just think of what would happen at your job if you held a different view than the majority? "What?!?!? You voted for a third party??? Hey joe, make it look like this guy tried to hack into our database of credit card numbers... oh yea, and while you are at it, hack the local area diebold machine to change his vote to *whatever*"

    This war on terrorism is the biggest joke i've ever heard of. Whos the bigger terrorist? Someone who crashes into a building becuase of religious reasons, or someone who hijacks a country (on false pretenses) to benifit corps - if you havn't seen this by now you aren't paying attension.

  14. Say goodbye to the local suppliers on Wal-Mart to Offer Components for DIY Computers · · Score: 1
    like PC club and all that. If you know about wal-mart's business practices, this pretty much spells doom for small PC shops (if they still are alive). This might be good at first, as wal-mart's tactics consist of selling good parts for cheap at first then moving towards lower end parts and charging more, once their competition has gone away.



    But since most of us buy our components online, will this really affect *US* that much? I think not.



    But, not to be ..... but if you like to scam walmart, geez... these doors will swing wide open. Their return reps won't be able to tell a socket 7 board from a LGA775 board. If you are into that type of thing... like ripping off the big corps... not saying I am.... dot dot dot

  15. Re:i'm sorry, but you just can't say that on A Grand Unified Theory of YouTube and MySpace · · Score: 1
    MySpace is an interface requiring users to make ugly and provide a mixure of original and non-exclusive content

    That should be in their joining agreement thing (with the checkbox and whatever)

    +1 funny (if I could)

  16. as we speak on Live Commercials Will Save TV? · · Score: 1

    network exec's are sitting around a table trying to remake 'friends' As long as these asshats have control (clearchannel) don't plan on seeing anything good - may I suggest Adult Swim on the cartoon network?

  17. i'm sorry, but you just can't say that on A Grand Unified Theory of YouTube and MySpace · · Score: 3, Insightful

    myspace is 'contributing' much. I mean, its all good if I want to know what 14 year old thinks brad pitt is hot or whatever, but as far as contributing to the intellectual community of the internet... well, I think calling myspace a glorified AOL would be pretty sufficient.

  18. to me... on Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest · · Score: 1

    /. is a friendly home. Its where I come for news and there aren't ads all over the place, and everything is two colors. Makes it pretty easy to read and not be distracted by BS. But, i'm hoping the powers that be feel the same way about this and will pick a bland boring style that will make me happy.... or i'll blow their houses up. With blackcat fireworks.

  19. And I always thought on How The THX Noise Was Created · · Score: 2, Funny

    it was just the movy skreen starting up. Don't they run on 8 cylenders ?

  20. or.... on Does Open Source Encourage Rootkits? · · Score: 1
    just imagine a world were people were ethical enough not to mess with other people's computers. We could share files, and network all together into a gigantic group of networks where the computers would become self aware and solve our all our problems.

    or to look at it another way, we would need a lot less computer techs and anti-virus companies wouldn't exist. Yah... A world without rootkits (read- not open source) is the way to go.

  21. I've been thinking this for a while on Cops Walking the MySpace Beat · · Score: 2, Insightful
    if you wanted to profile a group of people (ie people around the age of 15-30) it would be very easy to set up a free service, where you can post all kinds of neat stuff about yourself. You know - the pictures of your underage friends drinking, hitting a bowl, and who knows what else.

    I guess it does fall under the free information clause, but IMVHO I don't think anything found on there should be admissable. After all, how hard is it to falsify a myspace account?

  22. This thing sounds fast on ARM Offers First Clockless Processor Core · · Score: 2, Funny

    oh wait....

  23. I will feel vindicated one day on Swedish Study Finds Cell Phone Cancer Risk · · Score: 2

  24. Re:Revolution is now much harder on Unmanned Aerial Drones Coming Soon Above U.S. · · Score: 1

    this is what i'm afraid of. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their grave right now. Its one of our rights to revolt if things aren't going well, and now that right is becoming smaller and smaller.
