    BMT is a major, major procedure.

    With about 30% mortality, I've read.

    -jcr

    30% isn't bad considering that AID's is 100% fatal. (well, most people die of something else but the cause of the second illness is AIDs)

  8. Stand up to play on Screen With 180 Degree Field of View · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone want to stand up to play a game unless it was true VR? Also, what is the advantage over a dome rather then a 30" wide screen monitor :P

  9. Can you hear me now? on NASA Plans Lunar Mobile Phone Network · · Score: 1

    Can you hear me now? (moon jump) Can you hear me now? P.S. I wonder what the long distance charges are going to be like.

  10. Flawed on Next Year's Laws, Now Out In Beta! · · Score: 1

    Do you really think politicians are going to want to beta test a tax hike? or beta test what if scenarios if they write a law for spending money on a new foot bridge? Imagine if they beta tested a reduction in the police force in Philadelphia which had more than 300 homicides last year. And if they Beta Tested a law for more photo radar machines to send you speeding tickets? Why would they want to beta test that, they all want our money right now.

  11. Free on Limewire on RIAA Wants Songwriter Royalty Lowered · · Score: 1

    What the RIAA fails to realize is that all of the songs are already free on Limewire ;-) (P.S. I'm an artist myself, honestly, I think the artists should get more money not less)

  12. Re:Why do I care about 1991 on Confidential Microsoft Emails Posted Online · · Score: 1

    Ambulances in Portland Oregon use Windows 3.11 in each of their vehicles for being dispatched. That was in 2001, not sure if it has changed. Scarry thought huh :)

  13. No such thing as Global Warming on $25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix · · Score: 1

    But how can you fix something that doesn't exist. The Earth has been heating up and cooling of since it was created.

    Plus, if it does exist, whats the problem? Washington DC in January 60 degrees. Come on, that rocked this year!

    Anonymous Coward.. My point is why do I care about what happened in 1991..

  15. Why do I care about 1991 on Confidential Microsoft Emails Posted Online · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why do I really care about 1991. Do you think that will actually change the release of Windows Vista or Microsoft domination of the world technology market? How screwed would the world be if Microsoft closed its doors one day because they get tired of being a business that is always fighting legal battles? Imagine a world without Microsoft. 911 tries to dispatch an ambulance but they can't activate their copy of windows to run the dispatch software because Microsoft closed its doors. A automotive company tries to install Quickbooks but it requires the latest Windows .NET updates before it will install, but they can't seem to get them from Microsoft because the website is down. Like it or not, Microsoft is a dominating force in the world. I only wish I had thought of it first :-) So when I read documents from 1990 and 1991 I say "how much money is this costing tax payers?" and "at what point will Microsoft just say screw it and close their doors." Peace

  16. Just tell them you reinstalled on Repair Computer, Repurchase OS? · · Score: 1

    When you call the number to activate Windows just tell them you had to reinstall your OS. Don't tell them why and you won't have any problems.

    So let me understand, a bunch of people that are thought of highly and are very smart still don't know what time it is?

  19. Not using the metric system HURTS the US on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 1

    ok.. lets be real about this, the US economey engine is running strong (another one of bush's faults, damn him). So how exactly does not using the metric system hurt us? humm.. let me think... oh yeah, because when we export stuff we sell it by the foot/yard instead of by the meter.. wait.. how does that hurt us? Oh I know, it's because we sell stuff by the pound (not to be confused with the English Pound) and we don't sell stuff by the Kilo, unless it's something in a white brick for recreational use. humm.. how does selling stuff by the pound hurt us again? oh wait, we sell stuff by the gallon instead of the liter. That MUST be why we are at war in Iraq. Saddam wanted us to buy oil by the liter and not the gallon. silly kids, tricks are for kids.. Get over it their is nothing wrong with the US using the standard system for measurements.

  20. what if the signal arrives and he doesn't press on Physicist Trying To Send a Signal Back In Time · · Score: 1

    What if the signal arrives from the past and he gets so excited he doesn't press the button to make it happen in the past? Does the time line break everything?

  21. Non American Author on US Population to Top 300 Million · · Score: 1

    This must of come from a non American author that is just upset that the Jehad movement hasn't killed all of the Americans yet. 25%? So? Why should I care.. I'm just a dumb American. Honestly it's like this. Is it our fault America is successful? Damn right. What the author fails to mention is the following: China grows by 7 million people a year. In Shanhi Alone 600 new cars are put on the road every day. Shanhi is about 12x's larger than New York City. China produces more polution with coal than the United States does. China has increased it's need for oil by 6% in the last 3 years alone. China's population is more than all of Europe and the US combined. and guess what, The United States is China's largest buyer of goods. If the United States didn't exist China would not be at the point they are at now. If the United States didn't exist all Europe would be speaking German right now. If the United States didn't exist Mexians wouldn't have a place to illegally find a job in. If the United States didn't exist no one in the world would be allowed to own a gun. If the United States didn't exist the fall of the Soviet Union would never have happened. 25%? The world is a big place and because we use 25% of what the world can produce we have provided for billions of jobs and trillians of dollars so that other people can live and work. Other countries will catch up, it's just a matter of time. The US will not always be a super power, but the US will be an economic super power for years to come. God Bless America and the Hell with those sandy ass rag heads that want to kill us.

    Ok, so instead of drinking the trash with it leaking into our water source we get to breath the trash after it is burned. Humm.. I wonder which will kill me first...

  23. Password? on Bad Password Allowed Swedish Watergate · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Here is the real question.. Is it a USER problem or an ADMINISTRATOR problem. Sounds like they need to hire a new IT director with a since of security. If that IT director allows passwords like that he probably also is running a firewall hosted in a Windows XP Pro machine and ICS and no service packs or hot fixes. All of the internal IP addresses are 192.168.x.x because of ICS so I'm sure the server is .1. Heck, the director might have even turned on Remote Desktop Administration on the box so he could manage it from home without a VPN and the administrator accounts password on that box is either blank, password, or god. Well, best of luck to their director or whomever is in charge of their computer network.
