  1. Seconded on Ask Slashdot: Store Umbilical Cord Blood — and If So, Where? · · Score: 2

    We donated the cord blood from both our kids.

    When your kid has a 1 in 400 chance of needing it themselves even ONCE in their entire lifetime...well, I'd rather help someone in need.

    It is hard to be a JW and go to public schools.

    Then stop being a JW, which is stupid to begin with. Hell, any religion that indoctrinates you as a child should be considered child abuse.

  10. Give the man a cigar! on Rutgers Student Ravi Convicted of Bias Intimidation and Spying · · Score: 2

    Second, hate crimes are added on to other charges because hate crimes are actually a seperate crime. If you were driving drunk with a black friend in the car and crashed it's different than if you went and lynched someone. In the second case, you not only wanted to hurt the person directly involved but you wanted to send a message of intimidation to people like them.

    DING DING! We have a winner!

    This is the entire point of having "hate crime" legislation. It has nothing to do with victim of the crime, it has to do with the message he's to sending to other gays (who are, we can all agree, a historically shat-on group)

  12. Re:Happened to a friend of mine. on Stolen iPad's Reported Location Not Enough To Warrant Search, Say Dutch Police · · Score: 1

    All right, fair enough, I did put words in your mouth.

    The guy was wearing a shirt. He didn't say anything about it, didn't try to "proselytize", etc. Then the school decided to single him out and harass him. I certainly wouldn't expect that as a result of wearing an innocuous shirt, so I don't think the OP's intent was to "make it about himself" and cause trouble.

    While your tone is clearly derisive when it comes to the drug legalization movement, kudos for saying that you'd be against wearing a pro-2nd amendment shirt to the event, even though that's something you believe in.

    You don't have time to follow sports, but you have time to model "information from 5242 games played during the 2011-2012 season".

    How is that a contradictory statement? He's so busy doing data modeling stuff that he doesn't have time to watch sports.

    When someone says they "don't have time" to do something, it's generally because they're very busy with....gasp....other things!

    Spokesman V/O: If you're a luxury car owner, there's something you should know. Luxury sedans are stolen at the rate of four per minute.

    [ show couple walking to curb from restaurant; his car is nowhere to be found ]

    Man: My brand new BMW! I just got this car two days ago!

    [ Spokesman enters foreground ]

    Spokesman: Frightening, isn't it? Suddenly, the idea of buying a car for the cache of a hood ornament seems outdated. In the 90's, you don't need a car to tell the world you're wealthy; you need a car to tell the world you're smart.

    [ show luxury car under wraps, as a breeze sends the cloth flying to reveal a junky-looking vehicle underneath ]

    Spokesman: Introducing the Chameleon XLE for 1993. Finally, a luxury car that doesn't look like a luxury car.

    Inside, the Chameloen XLE has everything you would expect in a luxury sedan of its class. Soft leather seating, a contoured instrument panel, and fine wood. But there's more - much more.

    Authentically distressed fenders give way to a partially padded roof of blistered vinyl. While under the hood, a simulated transmission-fluid drip whispers, "Hey, not worth the trouble." This is craftsmanship no one will steal. GThis is engineering for the inner-city driving experience.

    [ Spokesman places marble at the top of hood, which rolls forward into a hole at the bottom of the hood ]

    Spokesman: Every inch of the Chameleon XLE is a pinnacle of urban design.

    There's attention to detail. Like three mismatched wheel covers, and one exposed rim in school-bus yellow. Standard.

    A broken taillight repaired with duct tape. Standard.

    Retractable antenna. Standard.

    The body of a Pontiac with a driver's-side door from an Oldsmobile Delta '88. All standard.

    A car thief takes one look at this, and keeps right on walking. Of course, it's equipped with an automatic alarm system - but do you really think you'll need it?

    [ Spokesman turns on alarm, which renders the car even more useless ]

    Spokesman: The Chameleon XLE. They might tow it away, but they'll never steal it.

    Stop, please stop with the rhetoric. What happened on 9/11 were terrorists acts. It was not a declaration of war, it was not an invasion. It was not an attack in any meaningful way.
