This could be one of the highlights of the TV Voting/ratings of the series, maybe all time?

Please, I would like to know if you have come to some new, more informed, position having read these comments posted in response to your story or if you were already largely aware of the deficiencies in this 'persons' actions. I am a believer in taking responsibility for your own actions, and I hope you feel a significant degree of regret in your actions which have allowed the Slashdot editors to make 'their' mistake of put this story on the front page(again).
I don't mean drug violence or even that one South Park episode, but really this is a great conceptual way to represent aspects of the body in ways people clearly understand. The hazards of obesity, smoking, etc. compared to baseline or especially an above-average person seem to me a clearer way to visualize this versus any shock-factor "shriveled prune" organ approach.
I am not entirely sure that you mean; that this will be a great individualised service to provide to those who are in need of seeing how compromised their 'immune system' has become (and with 'immune system' too acting as an even more general proxy for their 'overall state of health'). But if you do, I agree, you'd get a very visual and engaging and, I expect, quite an indicative result [you will likely have stronger feelings around wishing this "team" wins than any of the teams you have ever followed/'bet on' prior, & what proportion of the obese population (for instance) don't watch sport?] . So long as you surround the person as they watch with options to enable them to actually change their 'performance' in the future; then watching what was moments before part of themselves, battling; succumb; and be eaten, may indeed be very motivational and very hard to ignore.

If my parents did that, I'd call the cops on them for trespassing just like they did for me. I had to resign a good internship because I wasn't certain where I was living for a few days.
In hindsight, sure, I was stupid to trust them without a written lease. I should have ditched them when I was 16 instead of waiting for them to upset my life with a 0-day move-out notice.
I don't know for sure, but I am thinking we may have been deprived of some pertinent facts to the above story (by Velex) to fully earn its present Insightful tag.

I had never figured out why the 1918 flu went away, why didn't it keep coming back year after year wiping out millions; so simple once you know! It mutated itself out of existence, and then it was gone! One more piece in my model of "Life the Universe & everything" slotted nicely into place.
Driving from GEO to Ocean is non-trivial; to local minima gravity well at GEO W105 degrees (not fulll Lagrange pt.), not so hard. See Aero's comments above.
It's WAAS. G15's WAAS has still been maintained operational as there is presently only ONE other WAAS sat covering continental US. FAA will get very edgy if the flights coming into their airports are to rely on a single bird to not suddenly reposition their passangers +/- 25m any which way.
This is the nub of issue, politics encourages law-making, but not all law-making is equal, some has consequences far larger than others; and whatever it was (I have know idea) that was the very first governmentally derived production subsidy law that benefited the intended constituents, and was then seen as a 'tm' "Good Thing", was just such a law. Once they started on the 'pork barrel' circuit it is VERY hard to get off [but possible as shown by NZ]; it is just a matter of time until one of the "subsides" turns out to be massively damaging, the dairy subsides of Europe for instance. The solution isn't another law to stop|control the production, it is to just remove the subsidy, plain and simple.
No. This is a Slashdot discusion forum. There is a time and a place for just about everything; and I do not think this is the time or the place for Anonymously posted Troll Fodder like yours. Here we stand up and say 'Go fuck yourself'; you may like to consider the benefits of this advice for your personal use.
Externalities may unfortunately turn out to be much larger than doubling, may not (most probabily not), but since one consequence of the may ("maybe" abrupt climate shift) could be so large, my opinoin is to factor heavily in their favour.
I think "The truth is what it is" is completely absurd when used as a discriptor of appropriate economic policy. Each policy will have differing effect on various indicators. Each policy mix can be shown to be generally benifical to a large number of people some of the time while smaller numbers will be effected more, and others less, benifically, and how much depends what time frame it is being considered over; and the number of people and amounts they benifit differ, as I have said, with each of the different indicators you care to look at. There is no use for the measure "Truth" here just as there is no use for the measure of "frequency"! You may have some limited use for a "Greatest Good" measure (good luck coming up with an usable|measurable|stable definition of that) but you are going to find that many of the variation of economic policy mixes will equal "Greatest Good" values (considered over the total population and summed over all possible consequences) but with differing members within that population being more, and others less, benifited.
My take on prefered ecomonic|social policy: Ensure fexiblilty [if it is not percieved as working as good as someone elses policy, real or theoretical, be able to change] Ensure diversity [have some poeple doing it other ways so we have real examples to base our opinions on] Ensure accountability [those that choose the policy mix need to meet appropriate consequences for their choises]
Consequently most elected governments around the world fall within my prefered system, and I am happy about that.
I think that USD's, once out of the US, can be used internally within some countries and certainly internationally for between country trade without the US being ever involved again. So a negative trade balance(summed over all your trading partner countries and all financial instruments) will eventually weaken your economy as although you have more "things" you have brought, your net worth and ability to buy is decreasing; and eventually foreign ownership increases.
In this particular case we might have got the best of both... if only China wasn't quite so big. One significant country mandates, the manufactures standardise for that market; if it works well, this rolls out world wide. Worthy innovation arrives, world changes to next standard, legislated country after certain lag changes rules to allow improvement.

I think you knew them if they didn't come back.

The Egyptians put up one 3830m wide (the Aswan High Dam) in the 1960's.

Haven't seen an references to the geo (!geo) coords of the site to give it a proper home address & let us check out it's neighbourhood. Any hints?
