  1. Donate it on Ask Slashdot: Store Umbilical Cord Blood — and If So, Where? · · Score: 1

    Donate it to a public bank which should be free for you and offers the best chance for the cord blood to help someone. When we asked a doctor what to do when having our first child, she explained that donating to a public bank is the best option. The thing that most people don't realize about saving cord blood in a private bank for your own use is that if your child does happen to come down with the type of disease (e.g. leukemia) that requires stem cell treatment, it is highly unlikely that doctors would ever use the child's own cord blood because the child's stem cells already led to a case of leukemia and so there's no way they want to inject those (potentially) flawed stem cells again.

  2. What this really says on Apple Makes no Profit from iTunes · · Score: 0

    This says a lot about how right a grip the RIAA has on the business. If the RIAA wasn't holding Apple ransom for 70-odd cents per track, they would be making money hand-over-fist.

  3. I love Microsoft on Spamming Trojan "Proxy Guzu" · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I think we should all congratulate Microsoft for laying such a shrewd trap for the spammers. Blatant security holes in Oulook, free accounts with Hotmail... it was only a matter of time for the spammers to ilegally exploit this. We have them now!

  4. Re:WTF pop culture do you live in? on Lucky Wander Boy · · Score: 1

    No kidding! Everyone and their dog wears an Atari t-shirt too.

  5. Potatoes are for wussy germans on Potato Bazookas · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How about launching a 10lb pumpkin 4000 feet? http://www.cannon-mania.com/pumpkin_chunkin.htm
