Cuba has one of the best health care systems in the world. They are completly politically intolerant and violiate other human rights.
However, they have very good health care.
Just to echo - its the interface that makes you switch. Gmail has by far the best interface. I would kill to have a version I could run on my pocketpc as a native application and not as a webpage (pocket IE lacks certain support features for gmail, so alot of the nice parts of the interface don't work).

Well, maybe a more appropriate statement we got fed up from being bored and then left.
I think you are wrong about death penalties causing players to take the more easier route. I know in WoW, I do content with as little of a raid force as possible to maximize danger and thus my enjoyment.
Yes, running through [i]empty[/i] game areas is boring. Who's to say those areas will be empty though?
Also, like it or not, player dependance creates the community that is really the point in having an RPG (or any game for that matter) Massivley-[i]Multiplayer[/i]. Unable to find someon to do content with out of the 1k+ players online? Maybe you need to play another game.
As a side note, I appreciate your thought out replies.

Wrong.
As many of us have found out, McQuaids "cockblocks" added the challenge needed to keep our interest in these games. While the casual gamer is probably more happy, the crowd originally drawn into EQ and played for years and years eventually left from boredom and lack of challenge.
But what if having a wireless infrastructure is a boon to the city?
In a city I work for, the Police Dept is really interested in city-wide wirless to facilitate the trasnmission of tickets.
So if you have to build the infrastructure anyway for city-employey use, why not also rent it out if you can?
Typically on slashdot you do not need proof.
But fine.

I did find one article of some new korean method that was used to clone primate stem cells, but I couldn't find any reference to an actual journal or anything.
http://newsbureau.upmc.com/Magee/SchattenPrimateCl oneStudy2004.htm
here's a quote though '"We've had better development to the blastocyst stage in laboratory culture, which may help us to achieve cloned primate embryonic stem cells," said Dr. Simerly. "There are primate embryonic stem cells now, but no cloned primate embryonic stem cells."'
I didn't look to hard, but I couldn't find any mention of this on the school's webpage.
One - Technically its almost impossible. I am not niave enough to assume we will never ever ever have that capability. But really, what is the point in cloning an *entire* human being. It just isn't practical.
I fully expect limbs and organs to be cloned but never an entire human being. I would almost bet we will have the technology to just alter the genes of a "natual" baby to get the desired result rather then outright cloning of the "Best of the best" of the human race.
Well, one reason we "Age", in the sense you are using it, is that as cells divide every 100,000 or so there i a mutation. The accumiliation of these mutations is a possible reason we "look older" as we age. So changing the DNA doesn't help, as the aging comes from natural mutation. You can't stop it unless you stop the replication of cells. If you stop that, you die.
I guess if you can eliminate mutations, it would work. But that would require something like a nanbot killing mutations and creating a "good" copy on the spot to replace it.
Trees age, but could live forever if the eviroment doesn't change. We have what's called Senescence.

thats very true. Say something bad about the goverment though, and see how free you are.
You're right, but the point is to show that the ID is completely countryproductive to the even the people that might "support" it.

again. Cloning some animals is not like cloning other animals.

there will *never* be *complete* cloning of human beings.
user intervention?
we have seperate school ID #s now. They have phased out the use of SSN.
I'm a undergrad student now. Currently not declared.
Anyways, who should I go talk to? I also know a CS gradstudent here.
I could give my liberal hippy friends soemthing to protest about on campus.
Since when did this become "The Onion" ?
but thats the point. if a document is already out, being studied. Why not archive? Even for just the sake of reduduncy rather then a practical one.
So uh...as documents are requested you scan them in the database?
Really, exit polls shouldn't be the only way to verify an election? Ya think?
The problem is in many cases THERE ARE NO OTHER WAYS TO VERIFY.
i'm just a lamer
