Imagine the trouble this will cause to people's cellphone conversations. When they are yelling on the radio to the driver in front of them while trying to hold a meaningless conversation on their cellphone. Not to mention, this will be just another distraction from eating a bagel while smoking and drinking a coffee.
In this region Fairpoint is often the only choice for highspeed internet. If there is another option, it's Comcast who was forging rst packets, and blocking connections willy nilly. I was unable to use a VPN to my office, because Comcast deemed it bad traffic.
Beyond that, if you try to use your 800 Billion free hours of AOL or other dialup, often times the phone lines are original copper from the early 1900s and won't even support 56k dialup.
I hate Comcast with a passion and Verizon was horrible. I didn't think there could be anything worse, then Fairpoint came along and showed they were 100% less capable than Comcast or Verizon.
The kicker is the office probably didn't notice the missing hard drive, he probably told them. He didn't even need to leave a dummy HDD, he just needed to shut up. {of course this is conjecture}
Then couldn't the terrorists save a lot of time and bomb everything that is blurred out? I mean no more wondering which one is the federal building... it'll always be the blurred one. Might even let them know about potential targets they hadn't thought of.
Have you ever research cord blood cells? No, its obvious you have not, your entire statement is one piece of information after another.
1.) No stem cells are not easily obtained from adult blood, they can be harvested from bone marrow. This is not an easy process, and certainly one you would rather do without if you have some sort of major disease where you need stem cells.
2.) Very low chance? Its better than no chance. I don't have the percentages here, but its a higher chance than bone marrow and any other ideas out there.
3.) There is no guarantee, but they are working. There aren't many cases of failure that I have read about in my research
4.) So far, though mainly because it hasn't been tried in humans they have regenerated organs in pigs.
5.) Ummm ok and there could be unicorns walking around soon too.
6.) You call it emotional blackmail, others call it providing a service that they are more than willing to pay for.
and as for your its ok if done with tax money statements, that is just stupid. Whos money doesn't change the validity of the science.
One last point there are many blood cord banks that will take a cord and store it for free, if you are willing to donate it for public use.
No one knows the upper limit of storage because the technique hasn't been around for very long, but there are some indications it could be much longer than 10 years. One peer-reviewed article I read made a claim the cells could still be viable 50 years.
Not to mention when the "staffers" were using the email addresses, they were still public people without jobs. Now, IF they continue to use those email addresses now... then that would be an issue
Which with 512Mb of ram on XP it would be.
I mean this article is interesting and I don't doubt that it's a true speed difference, but this isn't a great way to test it.
I understand physics, I don't need you to explain it. The fact is consumer and cheap GPSs calculate speed on a 2d plane.
Although GPS technology and the sats are military in origin, GPS recievers are not. They calculate speed by displacement over time.
Your Garmin handheld has less to do with missles than you must think. Car GPS receivers have even less.
While many GPS's can show your vertical position, I don't know of one that calculates speed using vertical position. In other words your speed is calculated assuming you are on a horizontal plane and it calculates your displacement on that plane vs time.
Also, these car GPSs aren't accurate, they are to calculate an approx position and speed. Even having a 1M error, that would cause issues with the calculation of speed.
Maybe I missed something but where does 7 come from...
I remember Windows 2
Windows 3.x
then you have
Windows 95 (windows 4)
Windows 98 (windows 5)
Windows ME (assuming we count it say windows 6)
Windows 2000 (we'll say this was the NT line )
Windows XP (windows 6)
Windows Vista (Windows 7)...
So who doesn't count??? ME?? Vista?
It's funny a hundred years ago in the mid to late 90s floppy viruses stopped being effective because people stopped exchanging floppies, but at that same time network viruses thrived due to connection to the internet. Now with USB keys so common, a floppy type virus should/could make a good living. No one worries about the potential that someones USB key carries a virus.

The must be some sort of way to use RFID technology to enhance the pr0ns, in that case it's all good otherwise it's downright evil.

This is the first time Fairpoint has shown any competence in anything since they took over!!!!!!

Damn ... another yeast infection
Slashdot has moved its website to be hosted on a Mac emulating Windows to get that fresh feeling from running on IIS

If its like the rest of his administration, he tried to delete it. Its still in the recycle bin, just undelete it.
Come on, most of these people on /. don't even know what a condom is much less actually use one. :-)
Comcast will just block UDP completely... duh it's not like they care if you can use 'your internets'
No he meant "Epoch Fail"
Mac mini's! They grow up to be real computers some day! (ducks the flying objects from the Apple Deciples)

It calculates your position in 3 dimension, but consumer GPSs do not calculate SPEED in 3D
While many GPS's can show your vertical position, I don't know of one that calculates speed using vertical position.

Thats nice if there is more than 1 broadband option where you live.
thx.
