  3. LOL: Divorce is ' Starting over' on Ask Slashdot: Dividing Digital Assets In Divorce? · · Score: 1

    By all definitions, the past is in the past and starting over is the luxury to begin anew without dragging the past with you. Move on. Live again.

  4. !UX again... on Television Next In Line For Industry-Wide Shakeup? · · Score: 1

    TV's current embodiment as an in the-box closed system fully patent-protected oligopoly is too expensive, restrictive and boring.

    SteveJobs et. al. and AAPL abstract above the-box to circumvent expensive IP royalty streams (i.e. TVGuide) with software enabling remote access hardware portable devices that control multiple streams, multiple sources in which Users choose how, where and what they want to consume when and after they have options...

  5. Dating broken... on Study: Online Dating Makes People "Picky" and "Unrealistic" · · Score: 1

    Monetized, containerized, packaged and sold...Online dating is by design broken. Picky and unrealistic symptomatic of a system that works to keep you in network, picture promised and picking your pocket.

    Get out, risk yourself and put life back in living

  8. Are U fucking NUTS? on Cystic Fibrosis Gene Correction Drug Approved by the FDA · · Score: 0

    Polio is the ONLY named disease for which medicine has ever proceeded to effect a ' CURE'.

    One the cusp of finding a cure for 4% of the population affected by a named disease, you can only see BAD news? My dear friend, finding gene therapy to cure and enable a quality of life you and others like you take for granted is a ' MIRACLE'. The GOOD NEWS is that one form of gene therapy works.

    That offers promise that MAN in on the cusp of controlling his genetity if not his destiny, which holds the prospect humanity can cure diseases heretofore it could only suffer.

  11. 1 word on Printing a Home: The Case For Contour Crafting · · Score: 0

    Union labor

    That printer better be carrying a Union Card or there will never be UBC changes to allow jobs to be taken over by machines in the US construction industry.

    Germany has for 30+ years been able to erect styrofoam building blocks in a day, pump with concrete then set windows and doors next day. Of course, unlawful in the US. There's no UBC code approved for that type construction. Why?

  12. Don't expect educational excellence on NYC To Open 1st High School Dedicated To Software · · Score: 1

    Not enough cheap labor, talent nor pool of ready recruits to shore up the ranks of professional programmers needed in NYC the Bd of Ed offers its support. They'll follow Columbia University as a MS certificate factory for WallSt. Trickle down inevitably reaches its lowest-common denominator...minds of mush and loads of opportunity after graduation. At least students at University are old enough to be responsible for their choices.

    MS HighTech High School in San Diego is a non-starter scoring lower than expected for its focused learning, ready-to-work skills and career path curriculum. Don't expect educational excellence parents

  13. MRnotes... on Putting Medical Records Into Patients' Hands · · Score: 1

  15. EV1 shadows hybrids on Another Stab At Sorting Hybrid Hype From Reality · · Score: 1

    GM's EV1 summarily crushed out of existence, literally, worked too well. The success of the EV1 ' plug-in model' drive by electrons thereafter was usurped by the ' hybrid model' as manufacturers reworked current profit platforms making petro-based vehicles into idiomatic expressions of efficiency, ecology and social consciousness. Reality bites making duped consumers into driving testaments to essentially dangerous corporate fictions. Hybrids are a bridge to a future for manufacturers to transition from a petro-economy. A hungry world that now must compete against billions of thirsty cars for grains to feed itself rather than pour down the tank in the name of ' reduced emissions' is bankrupt, starving and stranded by petroleum that has no solutions other than more of the same.

    Only moving in a direction away from petroleum secures a world food supply, air supply and sustainable economies of security.

  16. Re:Strange praise for Google on Google Punishing Chrome Results For 60 Days · · Score: 1

    Consciousness raising tends to become cheerleading behind a noble cause such as education in abolition of " double standards"

  17. Bullocks FORD F-Up on Ford System Will Warn, Correct Lane-Drifting Drivers · · Score: 1

    Assistive control is BigBrotha... Active control would keep the vehicle in a lane like cruise control keeps a vehicle at a speed.

  20. What U see is What U get... on Apple Names New Chairman · · Score: 2

    ...you are witness to the fact AAPL is all grown-up, its founding father passed on. This is what a mature, responsible and somber AAPL stewards its legacy.

    After the shock, transition and adjustment to losing its visionary leader fades, you can expect Apple to find its vision, voice and vocation going forward. Not now

  25. RIMM shot on RIM Unveils New OS Based On QNX · · Score: 1

    not dying or failing!

    RIM doubled down protecting their turf investing in security and reliability. QNX continues BlackBerry's legacy in high security communications providing a robust QNX engine to power their future, well-armed for imbedded processing. RIM, which has gone unnoticed and under appreciated, now has communications technology to operate impossibly smaller imbedded implementations beyond the current handheld fad right into the datacenter server farms. RIMM would be an excellent BUY here.
