This is actually some good advice for two reasons:
1) You will have an instant best friend.
2) You can meet people at your local Dog Park.
Play with him (or her), teach him to do tricks, scratch him on his belly until his leg goes crazy. You will both learn social skills as you train him. Also, I have found that people who love animals are generally kind and friendly.
Best of luck.
Modifying genetic code to remove known defects that will do nothing but cause a lifetime of suffering is hardly dehumanizing. If anything, having the ability to prevent this kind of suffering and choosing not to would be inhumane.
Sure it sucks that you have a crippling disability and no quality of life and will probably die young and in pain, but at least you're unique.
Give Derren Brown a call and get him to shock him out of his addiction with some sort of crazy
Zombie prank. Even if it doesn't work, it'll be cool to watch...
I got home last night and my wife was saying something about a pig that flew or something, Im not quite sure exactly what she said. It took me a while to figure out that she wasn't talking about a flying pig. Seriously.

I disagree. I didn't find the story interesting because he is a celebrity per se, I found it interesting because he has been a very sucessful business man. I too would like to be successful in my business and would like to know about the personal qualities that made him so.
2,022 Australian dollars for every man, woman, and child in the country.
Over 8 years, that's just over $250 per year. It's still a lot of money, but I wouldn't think twice about paying $250 per year for a 100Mb/s connection.
From the Wikipedia atricle on the Airborn Laser: The ABL does not burn through or disintegrate its target. It heats the missile skin, weakening it, causing failure from high speed flight stress.
"examining all sides of evidence"
and "to encourage critical thinking by the student"
To me, that means students will be taught to make up their own minds rather than passivly accept whatever bullshit they're fed.
It is not possible to think critically about a book that claims absolute authority of truth.
Criticism: (emphasis added)
Criticism in terms of expectations means democratic judgment over the suitability of a subject for the intended purposes, as opposed to the authoritarian command, which is meant as an absolute realization of the authority's will, thus not open for debate.
I've always wanted to include a clause buried half way down a long ELUA in which the user promises me their first born child or something equally absurd. If they indicate that they don't agree, then the install process takes them to a normal ELUA that they can safely agree to...
I wonder how long it will be until the prosthetic hand can outperform a biological hand in terms of speed and strength.
Every time I see a massive excavator I think of how cool it would be to join 5 of them together as fingers in a massive hand!

I'm confused. What does concrete have to do with financial woes?

At least part of their DNA is from a comman ancestor.

How about using this to build an autonomous cattle herdiing robot!
OMG! Ponies!

Tell me what your inventison are - if they are as good as you think then I'll pay for the patent and begin production immediately.
Good point, however, if it's useful enough then it will be built.
When it becomes more efficient at carrying oxygen than blood, will it be banned in all professional sport?

No, actually, giving someone an extra 5 months of life makes the air cleaner.

Try hooking the actuators up to your audio amplifier and making a laser show! You can actually hear the music when they vibrate!

As long as you don't to both at the same time then it will be fine.
I've often thought that about the Israel / Palestine conflict. Just lock them in a room and tell them to sort it out.
Have a look at Processing, and the book Visualising Data by Ben Fry.
