    $3/day? Try $3/mile. My estimate shares the same colon-derivation as yours but mine is much closer to reality. When is the last time you used a cab? It costs more than $3 just to sit down.

    Because inebriated humans tend to leak a variety of fluids in a variety of ways. I am not alone in enjoying my own private personalized micro-environment while being transported. Cabs are also not economical in many suburban or rural areas as the fuel cost is amortized among too few clients (with possibly many miles of empty transportation between them).

    Indeed. I thought it was funny.

    I'll believe it when I can see it (or determine its velocity).

  11. Re:Free of the 'shackles' of a Billion dollar subs on Boeing Teams To Offer Spaceflight Trips · · Score: 1

    The edit cuts are so bad it's laughable. This is the video equivalent of a ransom note with the words cut from a magazine. Even Breitbart isn't that crass in his editing.

  12. Re:Don't talk to anyone. on Defending Self In a Case of On-Line Identity Theft? · · Score: 1

    I don't know any Scherinda, but I do know my Sharona.

  13. Re:So what is the advice on Searching For Backdoors From Rogue IT Staff · · Score: 1

    I set up a checklist with HR to go in the employee file. One checklist with the steps to create an account, and another to remove one. If all the steps weren't completed I wouldn't sign off until my remaining team completed it. When I left I had my #2 sign off as well as the HR manager.

  14. Re:Yes, but is mom going to be ok with it? on 'I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!' v2.0 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have ALS and requested the baby monitor system. I also use various IM clients on my optical tracking computer system to communicate with friends and family. The IM has saved my life more than once when the in-home monitor failed for whatever reason. I am on a ventilator so communication failures can turn lethal quickly.

  22. Re:Aim for the real problem. on Stem Cell Tourist Dies From Treatment In Thailand · · Score: 1

    That assumes a general consumer demand larger than the supply which will never, ever be the case here.

    Not only is your argument fallacious but it is based on total ignorance of the reality of the situation.

  23. Re:What is needed is 2 levels of FDA on Stem Cell Tourist Dies From Treatment In Thailand · · Score: 2, Informative

    Amen. I have been through three clinical trials and one patient-driven off-label trial, and have just created the second such trial, looking for something to slow or stop my deterioration from ALS.

    Desperate people do desperate things. I have known a few in my condition resort to stem cell quacks and a couple have died from it. I am a big believer in stem cells, but only done the right way.
