Well, I don't really feel terribly insulted when a person who can't even spell "individual" and "then" properly calls me sick.
And an elitist spelling Nazi to boot! My guess is that you have a thing for pedophilia and necrophilia involving female pre-teens. Wow, are you a sick puppy. But I guess this is what comes from a 35 year old overweight Neck Beard like you spending all your time in your mom's basement wearing your dead sisters panties while looking at Japanese Tentacle Porn.
Sick. Simply sick. Seek help before it's too late.
Oooh. Transference. Better discuss this with your shrink. Things are getting serious. I sense an epiphany!
The Passion isn't a sexualized context, unlike Couture. Why evade the central issue, when the central issue is perfectly clear in your own mind, at the exact same time as you're typing otherwise?
You seem to be all wound up about the sex part. Maybe you should get some counseling.
We've been doing 'genetic engineering' ever since we domesticated whatever mankind first domesticated. Except for cats, it's been a pretty successful run.
These things don't get bigger than wild King Salmon. They just get big, fast. So no Giant Vacuum Salmon. No epic battles between mutant Sea Lice and Sperm Whales. They'll probably end up tasting like cat food so I wouldn't get all bent out of shape with the concept.
You do understand that the 'metals' we use in industrial processes are not pure elemental metal? They are virtually all complex alloys - so melting and recombining them will undoubtedly be necessary. There have been a number of Shuttle and ISS experiments about bits and pieces of metallurgy technology in zero G but we are light years away from being able to do anything but screw in a bolt and attach some wires.
Before we can get all Kim Stanley Robinson we need to actually build something really complicated in LEO and take the baby steps to go further. It's likely doable, but we have a long ways to go and we're not exactly making progress at the moment.
Will we finally get something open and completely hackable? Bomb proof like Nokia with crazy great features like FM radio transmitter or IR remote control? I vote for FRS radio tech too, that would be a great way to zap GPS coordiantes or low res pics between users even out of service area. At the end of the day though there will be the bloated commercial apps which plague the Android/IOS communities,vs the grassroots stuff that is still buildinggreat stuff for Maemo/Meego. When will there be another N900 with all of the apps alll of the tech but not the bloat and spyware.
Hmm. Let's look at your TV remote. Yup, just as I suspected, 500 buttons.
Hey, Ducttape - read up on GoPro's problems. Their R&D could use some quality input. 'Upgrades' that pretty much brick cameras (in the technical sense, they have to be sent back to the factory to get reset), production deadlines that are missed every single time. Good ideas that just never seem to pan out. Poor communication from the company.
The only thing that keeps them afloat is their first mover advantage - but that is something that won't last forever. Foxconn may well be able to salvage the company.
Racist much or are you being so incredibly subtle that I've missed it?
It's a nice product created by a company that has had way to many gliches bringing newer products to market (noted in a couple of posts here and many posts on DVinfo.net and other boards).
If Foxcon can bring some expertise to GoPro, they may have a winner that can really push against the rising tide of competition. If not, the GoPro is going to get flushed by somebody who can actually write decent firmware.
GoPro has a significant first mover effect. They pretty much defined the niche of decent quality sports cameras. Yes, their user interface sucks. Yes, the company has had numerous trips and falls as it tries to bring out new products - they tend to have buggy firmware and not so stable software. There are a couple of other companies nipping at their heels.
They really don't have much IP to fall back on - GoPro just managed to come up with a neat idea at the right time. Now, that is what defines a successful product (iPod, anyone?) but it's also sensitive to competition and management fuck ups.
Perhaps Foxcon will clean up GoPro's act. Would be nice. I've returned a bunch of their stuff because it just doesn't work out of the box and I can't be arsed to spend hours dinking with firmware upgrades that half the time need to be backed out and reloaded.
The human body contains trillions of microorganisms — outnumbering human cells by 10 to 1. Because of their small size, however, microorganisms make up only about 1 to 3 percent of the body's mass (in a 200-pound adult, that’s 2 to 6 pounds of bacteria), but play a vital role in human health.
The NIH is just starting to go there. It may well flip our understanding of how a number of disease processes unfold.
Researchers found, for example, that nearly everyone routinely carries pathogens, microorganisms known to cause illnesses. In healthy individuals, however, pathogens cause no disease; they simply coexist with their host and the rest of the human microbiome, the collection of all microorganisms living in the human body. Researchers must now figure out why some pathogens turn deadly and under what conditions, likely revising current concepts of how microorganisms cause disease.
Clearly the microbiota are biologically active - they produce, metabolize and secrete chemicals that interact with the human body. Not surprising that understanding that may help us understand the function and non function of ourselves.
In a sense, this isn't news. We've always known than humans are full of shit.
See extension breaking, status bar removal, tabs on bottom option removal, bugs unsolved for a decade etc. Pretty soon it will be firefox depicted as eating the glue.
I don't think Firefox developers have been eating the glue.
You didn't close your squiggly brackets. So what looks superficially like a Do-while loop is actually a do with no while, and, and the while at the end is a self-contained endless loop.
Wow. Slashdot even has code syntax checking. Who knew?
Now, if they could only get Unicode support, we'd be golden. No need for Visual Studio at all!
Now we're accepting mass surveillance for the sake of stopping rare crazed killers?
How about we provide a proper mental health system instead, so that when people go seeking help early in the process, they actually get it? They're willing to spend billions of dollars on a surveillance state, but heaven forbid parents be able to get the help they need at a reasonable price or for free when their kids have problems.
There's nothing "logical" about the approach they're talking about. It's completely irrational and emotional.
Although I agree that access to mental health care in the US is both necessary and extraordinarily lacking in the US, you have to realize that Adam Lanza WAS under such care at the time he launched.
Don't expect 'mental health care' to be a panacea. It's all about balancing the society's safety and individual rights. It's always going to be much easier in retrospect (like most other difficult problems, imagine that).
Without even one mention of these ionospheric heaters that ARE in use all over the world by every capable government in the first 38 comments available to this article leads one to believe that slashdot itself has been usurped and the comments posted (readable) are a continued effort to smokescreen the absolute truth of this global warming man-made disaster.

Took you a while to wake up this morning. Must not have palmed your meds last night.

Cool story, bro.
Take your meds.

Triploid? My God, they're mutants!
What happens if they run into some radioactive water from Fukashima? Has anyone checked on this? Anyone?
The patented fish is infertile.
I seem to remember that GMO soy beans and corn supposed to be infertile too.
Hopefully, nobody used any frog DNA ....
I'm a bit confused about the 'gravitationally neutral' part of this.
Fair and Balanced! Fox News has you covered.
AC would still be better off buying a couple more boxes of Depends.

If the Moties could do it, so could we.
Woops, wrong Universe. I wonder what Kim Stanley Robinson thinks about all of this?
Ouch!
Actually that is a rather nice thing to call lawyers, all things considered.
