I suppose borrowing energy from the future is a tad better than say, borrowing energy from that nap you had before the dinner party last Wednesday. If such technology comes about, I bet people will be pretty pissed at their future selves...
Well, some would say that some form of singularity would form from the contradicting factors. However, I believe the cat will just get bored from being dropped out of a window and occasionally getting toast smeared on it, and decide to walk off.
(A test for mods to see if they can find humor in a more-than-usual obscure, yet obvious reference...)
You're right, of course. However, the way I see it, after giving certain buisnesses tax cuts, then turn around and give them the equivlant of corporate welfare, I think the government has every right to insist on certain policies.
With most TTY systems I've seen (or rather, heard) the hearing-impaired person on the other end types into the machine, sending its text to an operator, who then reads said text to the other person, and reverses the proccess when you respond. Whether this set-up is still use, I'm not sure, I haven't recieved a call from somone using TTY in more than ten years.
As for "deal with it, and move on", it, I think, would be in a buisness's better interests if the disabled person didn't "move on" to a competitor that did accomodate for disabilities. This sort of thing isn't just "PC whining", but simple market-place demand. Sure, it's fine if you don't like Brand-X, and don't want to carry it, but don't complain if your competition offers it and you see your customers go there instead. How well would a resaurant do if it was designed like a tree-house, and the only way of entrance was a rope ladder? How well would a library do if it only carried books written in sanskrit? The best way to do buisness is to let people inside so they can give you money.
I do recally my High School Biology, thanks. However, from the post to which I res responding: "...freezing their eggs..." - eggs ARE gametes, unless I'm mistaken in thinking that 'gamete' = 'reproductive cell, such as, say, an EGG'. Also, I was refering to the difference between freezing unfertilized eggs, and actual people, not people-to-be-if-it's-lucky embryos.
That wasn't a virus. In fact, aside from speculating that the cause was due to radiation brought by a probe returning from Venus, the film never a) says what brought the zombies about, b) never actually uses the word "zombie".
"...it was on public property and the owner wanted it removed..."
I assume you meant "private" property, as with public property, well, the public would be the owner, and if the public wanted it removed, a simple town-wide vote would better make such a decision.
My two cents:
I'm not Christian (Pagan, actually, but that's not the point), but I'm not "offended" seeing Christian symbolism in a predominatly Christian region. Take for example, the "controversy" surrounding the creche. Back in my home town, there'd be a nativity set-up on the lawn of the town library. I never really had any problems with it being there save for one: who paid for it? If the set-up, off-season storage, maintenance, etc is paid-for by the town's churches (thus paid-for by the parishoners) rather than taxes, I wouldn't say a word about it. That's my view. I don't care if it's on a library lawn, town park, city hall, what-have-you, so long as I'm not paying for it. It doesn't represent my beliefs, so why should it come out of my pay-check? On the other hand, the fir tree that would be decorated with simple garlands and lights that stands year-round (though, obviously not decorated off-season) as well as wreath-laterns along the main street did more-or-less come from the town treasury. In such a case, I'm fine with it. Wreaths and trees used as decoration for the winter season was originally a Pagan custom, so in a way, it represents both my beliefs as well as the Christian majority of the town. A tad hypocritcal? Maybe, but the way I see it, if you're going to use public money, and public property, then represent all portions of the public, or use neutral decor.
On another hand entirely, I personally don't care about religious songs at a Christmas Pagent held in a public school if performance isn't mandatory. If it was like: "Hey kids, we're hosting a Christmas Pagent, so if you want to sing about some beared middle-easterner that had some wild ideas, feel free to sign up, but you don't have to..." It's fine, and since it's a *Christmas* Pagent, I don't see how anyone that shows up could feel "offended" by it. (Unless, of course, the administration adamantly refuses to permit/fund a secular performance for non-Christians...)
It would seem that, according to the president claims that the "war on terror" isn't technically about Bin Laden specifically, Osama already has gotten off.
Not even that. It's more like some retarded Mime. Any Carpenter fan would know that the original Michael mask was a William Shatner mask painted white with black hair. What's funny (in my mind) is that although the prop-mask for Jason in the films has changed very little over the past 26 years, goalie masks in hockey (that I've seen) no longer resemble the ones worn in the films, yet characters still refer to it as a "hockey mask"...
You could also code your page to use text-links for input. Give them a class-name, then in the CSS:.buttonlink {background-image: static.img;}.buttonlink:hover {background-image: url(hover.img);}
If you want to scale the image for each "button", simply create a 1px-wide gradient image to match the system style, and apply an x-repeat in the CSS. Of course, until border-radius is implemented, this would result in a square-cornered button. However, it should suffice if all you want is to have your inputs look and feel like an ordinary button without the size issue you describe.

Not as much though as future homeowners would like.
Duh, I think that was the point

Exactly. What if an object requires the presence of a meringue-layer to qualify as a planet?
If they can't/won't get WETA, the next best thing would be Brian Froud and what's left of Creature Workshop...
What's this? A /.'er that doesn't seem to despise BBspot?
Not to mention the line in braille for those poor sods that failed to heed the warning the first two times...

And no one forces you to run for the exit when someone yells "fire" in a crowded building...
This is /., everything is an obscure reference here, but don't panic, just relax and pour yourself a nice refreshing ouisghian zodah.
Only those that are brave enough to battle the giant mutant space goat...
Kind of reminded me of this story...
Nothing to apologize for. Your English is better than most people I know.
"...some sort of devolvation..."
...
No results found for devolation
It looks like it's already devolving now.
You're right, of course. However, the way I see it, after giving certain buisnesses tax cuts, then turn around and give them the equivlant of corporate welfare, I think the government has every right to insist on certain policies.
Beethoven seemed to do pretty well, in fact, when he lost all his hearing, he was no longer distracted by the mynah bird...

What if the first person was murdered by a rabid chimpanzee that upon fleeing the scene, discarded said banana peel?

Freezing a unicellular gamete is far simpler than freezing a multi-cellular person, and far less disatrous should it fail.

Damn, I knew I should've hit "preview", there should've been a few
's in there to make the code tidy...
