Any Slashdot story mentioning Canada or Canadians always results in less than 259 comments, so why bother posting them? They're about on par with response to games.slashdot.org.
A quick search of Slashdot with the word Canada brings up 9 Canadian stories in the last two months alone (2 are sort of multinational) that have greater than 259 comments.
Instead of bitching about it, I suggest you simply don't click on Canadian-related stories.
Whot about the bloke in Russia who got 'blown away' with a gun for excess spamming?
Vardan Kushnir was beaten to death as the result of a botched robbery. That he was a prolific spammer was incidental.
From InformationWeek:
According to the Kommersant, a Moscow newspaper, police said Kushnir met three women in a club, and invited them to his apartment. The women then spiked his drink, but when Kushnir woke up to find the women's accomplices taking credit cards, a laptop, money, and other items, he was bludgeoned to death, the paper said.
Regarding the sedentary nature of the lab grown tissue, I wonder if they've tried artificial electrical stimulation to promote growth? In effect, an as seen on TV "Dr. Ho's muscle stimulator/massager" on a cellular level.
Incidentally, I also seem to remember reading recent publications linking muscle activity, in terms of electrical stimulation, with directed capillary growth. The result being a sort of angiogenesis version of Hebb's principle... muscles that fire frequently will promote blood vessel formation to sustain it.

No, the 51st and 52nd states are the UK (under Tony Blair) and Australia (under John Howard) - George W.'s favorite sycophants.
