let's be serious, if we're talking about power generation it all depends on the types of dykes being used. and there are trade offs... while butch dykes certainly generate more power, girly ones are more pleasing overall. i think the dutch should go with a combination of the latter combined with nuclear power.
i'm surprised they survived DVD, not too mention the internet-DIVX-etc.
forget about how often you rent something yourself, how often do you see rental boxes in the wild? 10 years ago they were everywhere. today i might as well just buy the disc for $5. good riddance anyway
I am a doctor, and this is the worst type of medicine: publicity medicine. The goal is to get on the news rather than patient care. If these guys really wanted to experiment (and it is an experiment) with low-gravity surgery they would be doing it on animals long before human trials.
With surgery, there are so many complications that cannot be predicted. Who knows how low-gravity affects clotting? Perhaps this guy will have a pulmonary embolus and die... there are a million what if's here that be accounted for and it's irresponsible at the least.

And his approval rating just keeps going down. This post is not meant to be political or anything, just it sounds rather similar. From my personal experience in the world, it seems that whenever someone is bragging about things they did *before* it's usually because they don't have anything to brag about now. maybe i'm wrong.
so i was one of the first posters on this thread and originally was +3 insightful. then some guy comes and says i should use wikipedia as a source, i go down to 2 and he goes up to 5 even though he just regurgitated what i said with a few links to a web site that is dubious at best (although i love wikipedia).
now i'm down to +1 redundant because more people came and replied to an earlier post, saying the same things i did... because they are listed earlier earlier even though i posted mine first.
now this message will probably get modded -1 flamebait even though i'm not trying to flame. it should get modded +5 pity.
This post is a little too late. The cure for MRSA is vancomycin, which you'll find in every hospital everywhere. Nowadays, in some areas, up to 70% of s. aureus is resistant to methicillin, and vanco is used impirically. 10 years from now everything will be MRSA.
That's no problem... it's VRSA that you've got to worry about.
It's caused by a lack of vitamin D. Children develop Rickets, typified by "bow bones." Adults get osteomalacia, with an increase in fractures.
Rickets has nothing to do with "vintage diseases." All someone has to do to prevent it is a) better diet b) multivitamin c) suntan.
mumps, pertussis, etc. are a different story...
"Furthermore, they point out that DRM systems don't automatically switch themselves off when a work goes out of copyright."
Unfortunately, with today's draconian copyright laws, works NEVER will go out of copyright.

no... i just grew up in a rural area. nothing else to do...
I got laid at the age of 14. I doubt anyone with a degree in astrophysics is going to beat that.
If they were never installed, how come people keep saying that things are going down the tubes? What tubes?
In Soviet Russia, Neanderthal clones you! Sorry, had to say it.
Does this mean the Hamburgler can be sued for piracy?
there's gotta be a rat somewhere feeding information to the feds. i grew up in the old school, where made RIAA guys would never flip.
But i want it now!

They should race these super mice against those genetically engineered fat mice they made a few years ago. We could be along a spread.
Haha!!
I'll be 77... you old fart.
Yeah, I can see it now:
"Turn the gyroscopes ISS."
"I'm sorry comrade, but I'm afraid I can't do that."
This is compared with the recent discovery of mud-like sludge in the core of Uranus.
"My spider sense is tingling, anyone call for a webslinger?"
Sorry for the obligatory Simpsons quote.
Alien steak anyone?
Another one of Tolkien's races has been discovered: Trolls, it seems, are native to the slashdot community.
screw the ethiopian farmers.
screw starbucks too.
Before anyone else can, it's mine! MINE! MINE! MINE!
one operation does not prove it is safe. that't like saying that guns aren't lethal because someone who got shot lived.
