I'm running a laptop as a server in my ice encrusted fridge right now. It runs below freezing and above freezing, but when I accidently leave the fridge open it locks up. In short, freezing doesn't matter as long as you leave it off when you thaw it.
So true. Diseases like diabetes, which were once fatal, are now affecting more and more people just because we can treat it. And diabetes seems to be a somewhat dominant gene or set of genes, so in a couple hundred years we could all be carrying around insulin pumps and buying it at the local pharmacy in the Insulin isle.
Many such diseases and deformities exist. And with comsetic surgery, teeth straightening, and laser eye surgery getting cheaper all too fast, we can see an end to sexual discrimination as well.
It's ironic, however, that the idea of genetic engineering has come around the time of our genetic demise.
The way computers think and the way we think are totally different things. When we wait for something, we don't have to loop a certain number of clock ticks. By the time a new programmer realizes how things like this work, it's easy enough to remember.
Until everyone needs to program, and developing a language like this is economically viable, not enough programmers will have thought about it thoroughly enough to make it possible anyway. By that time Microshaft will be handing out smart cards to let us in our own houses.
I haven't even started high school, and I go to bed at around 2 am and wake up at 1 every night. I would have to agree that this is not an illness but a summer lifestyle. But I think not challenging it and giving men 6 months to change their ways is the absolute worst way to solve it. Give them responsibilities for a change, and they'll know to stop.
Yea, if lots of people had this treatment. No one realizes that most of us aren't going to be affected by this, and finding possible problems is a stupid thing to do.
"Oh, and since the Slashdot crowd appears to be preoccupied with sex, there is some evidence that penile erections are dependant upon alternating pressures to, ahem.....get the job done."
I highly doubt heart transplant patients are sexually active, or should be. Lots of people are thinking of this as a new heart for the general public. It's benefits far outweigh the possible problems.

Explosives generally require oxygen to explode. That's why sci fi movies are generally bullshit.

Lol.
