  3. Re:I have been a type 1 diabetic for 20 years on Scientists Cure Mice of Diabetes Using Cells Grown Inside Rats (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    Totally agree. A true cure fixes/blocks the autoimmune system and replenishes the beta cells.

    The only cures I've seen require a pancreas transplant and immune system suppression drugs. The Viacyte also has promise http://viacyte.com/

  4. Re:Okay, so... on Woman Suffers Significant Weight Gain After Fecal Transplant · · Score: 1

    Can I interest you in being a fecal donor?

  10. Life with out stackoverflow.com on Things That Scare the Bejeezus Out of Programmers · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure I'd be able to write Java code without it.

  11. Don't tax the new thing replacing the old thing!! on City Councilman: Email Tax Could Discourage Spam, Fund Post Office Functions · · Score: 1

    Never, ever, never but never, tax the new technology to fund the outdated technology it's replacing! That would be like taxing cars to fund horse and buggies, like taxing MP3s to keep the audio cassette industry solvent, or like taxing online commerce to prop up brick and mortar stores. Horrible backwards thinking that only a politician could spew.

  12. Re:where to begin? on Ask Slashdot: Server Room Toolbox? · · Score: 1

  14. Re:Try to find a local carrier on Ask Slashdot: Best Smartphone Plan For a US Vacation? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, MetroPCS, Cricket, and US Cellular are CDMA carriers. They do not have SIMs. The only big GSM networks in the US are AT&T and T-Mobile.

  15. Kirk shot first!! on Star Trek - Special Edition · · Score: 1

    ooops, wrong star thingy

  16. Huawei equipment is junk on Chinese Huawei Takes on U.S. Telecom Market · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have seen first hand the junk that is Huawei, most of it blatently (and poorly) copied from Ericsson.

    At [carrier in S Asia] they failed for 3 weeks in a row to roll out one HLR only to barely succeed with thousands of CSR calls. But since they're cheap, the customer stuck with'm.

    Can't wait for the junk to go turtle in the US.

  17. Dential Hygienists on Women Leaving I.T. · · Score: 3, Funny

    When people start worrying that there aren't enough men going in the dental hygienist field (I've never in all my life seen one), I'll start worrying about the lack of women in IT.

  18. VOX Link on Use A Regular Phone For Cellphone Calls · · Score: 1

    Seriously, this is just like an OLD product from VOX Link.

    Their website seems to have gone away http://www.vox2.com/, but here is an article that mentions them http://www.entrepreneur.com/mag/article/0,1539,288 176,00.html

  23. You're joking right? on Jobs to India -- A Broad Look · · Score: 1

    Any job that can be done remotely (medical record transcription, customer support calls, coding, telemarketing, ...) can and will be outsourced to save money. An answering service would be a perfect job to export. :wq
