Playdo is a counter to lead causing violence. As a child I ate plenty of lead pencils and plenty of playdo and have had no violent encounters. So Playdo must be a counter to the voilence causing agent within lead.

Yeah sarcasm or not... after reading some of the messages texted to my buddy from this 20 year old girl started making me think you are better off just letting kids watch sesame street until their 18 instead of sending them to public schools.
This Saturday my buddies and I are sitting there drinking beers and watching the Oregon Ducks and my buddy starts showing us some of her text messages... To best describe her messages they are like listening to a 6 or 7 seven year old reading a book where they constantly sound out words and half the time pronounce them wrong. She litterally spells by sounding everything out and half the words are well wrong and you have to "Sound them out" and try to fit them into her sentance.
I am definitly not a subject matter expert... however using wireshark to trace packets from a specific box to another with intentions of determining and fixing a network issue is much different than activly monitoring and storing all traffic going through your switches. Wireshark is "on-demand" while what they are talking about is "real-time".
The breakthrough appears to be that it is the fastest of these type of devices available.
So what your saying is... They missed each other by 1/2 a mile or more directly over multiple airports that you are 3 miles from? Sounds pretty obvious to me.
Making characters in pretty much any textbook RPG takes hours of research to figure out what really fits what you want to do. The solution is a case or two of beer and a BBQ. Right now every other saturday we play for about 8 hours. Half that time is just BS'ing, drinking beer, and eating some steaks. What I am getting at is that our whole focus which keeps these games fun is the camaraderie between players during the time we spend together playing.
Pretty much sums up my opinions also. Our current government and the less than desirable choices available to replace the current leadership leaves me feeling pretty gloomy on the long term outlook of america's stability.
There is really no one thing that I can say is the "Start of the problem" or any one thing corrected that will make any impact on the current situation. Right now the american government is like a condemned house which we should knock down to the foundation and rebuild it fresh new and stable.
I think the question was not literal but more of a general "Why has humanity advanced so far in different aspects but have fallen short on others". We are all aware they are different issues, however it would be nice if other aspects of computing such as bandwidth kept up with hard-drive growth.
When DSL/Cable started becoming wide-spread the bandwidth was tremendous and we could fill up our massive 10/20 GB HDD in an evening and was always hurting for storage. To compensate I would rip stuff off to cd's for archival. Now I have around 2 TB of storage and use maybe 1/4 of it. It would be nice if we could fill up a TB or two in an evening.
Some fuses take a bit longer than 15 seconds to remove as you generally have to pop the hood, unscrew a bolt, remove the cover and verify which one is the right fuse... But this is a fairly inconspicuous activity that may even render pedestrian assistance.
I find it funny you used a taser reference. I guess your right though the taser is a bad idea. Most of these idiots should end up with hot lead and not a "mostly harmless" electrical jolt.
Like the title says. While this is an amazing break-through what will happen if this guy has offspring? Two completely different sets of DNA which will be dominant? Or will this cause some very "odd" cival cases when a two white people have for example a little asian baby?
What other possible side effects could happen?
Not to sound like a bible thumper but should we really be playing god with something we barely understand.
you just don't know the cause. Few years back at a friends LAN party some non techy guy brought his computer and everytime it booted it BSOD'ed (Win2k). I was like "heh anyone got a Win2k CD" and a few ppl tossed me them. I then proceeded to reformat his box. Everything went fine during the install. On first boot we hit the windows splash screen and BSOD.
Now I am thinking WTH this does not make alot of sense. So we canabalized a different computer starting with a different HDD. Same problem. Then the Power supply. Then the RAM. And wallah it started working right. We stuck back in his old components with different RAM and everythign was fine. This took several "geeks" a couple of hours to fix and it was not a by the book type fix. We litterally had to use a process of elimination and had to have extra hardware available.
Alot of people will take the easy road. Especially with older crappy hardware. If somone is running an old Win 98 box and it appears it is a hardware issue.. They are just plainly better off buying a new computer then looking for antiquated parts. Or if it is going to take "days" to fix it may be cost effective to not pay a "tech" to fix it.
Some of the "Geeks" in the parent article may have been ripoff artists.. others may have in the long run been providing the correct response to the situation.
Honestly, I do not want a pirated copy of anything ripped from Blue Ray or HDD. Yeah Yeah its HD and all but my god do you really want to DL something that large for a whole 90 minutes of quasi-entertainment. The nice thing about most current rips is the quality is good enough to enjoy and usually comes in at around 1 gigabyte. You will need to invest in some serious storage for any kind of a decent collection of ripped blue ray flicks.
Maybe I'm just poor.. but the quality bonus to me is not even close to worth the space/time requirements.
So many complaints of "I don't want to see this crap in a landfill". First off the article initially indicates it is a 30 year battery. Even if that is a crock of poo the half life on the material used is only around 12 years. IE the stuff in the landfill is well no longer a problem other than it being the same type of crap you think is "okay" to throw in a landfill.
Right now this world needs to find more efficent methods to generate power due to the constantly increasing dependancy/demand on electricity. This at least is a good start.
The information he seems to be pulling from was from the early 2000's. Many things have changed since early 2000 lowering the amount of power needed for the average home PC to operate. Most users in early 2000 were using CRT monitors which use almost 3 times as much power than a modern LCD. If I took the time to research 2000-2002 vs components in the last two years I bet you will see the power consumption of average hardware is probably close to half as much.
Many major financial & trading firms use IM clients of all breeds to interact with customers/clients/associates on a daily basis. These communications need to have specific rules enforced against and all communications recorded for them to be compliant. Many of the third party IM clients do not intergrate correctly with software that performs the management/proxying of IM traffic within an enterprise environment or could allow access on protocols that are restricted.
It's interesting how the article tries to make the mind depict the worst possible scenario. For all you know these "naked people" were his wife/child. It could have been bath or breastfeeding photos. You know the same type of family photo Walmart confiscates and calls the police on causing a perfectly normal family undue misconfort socially and legally. I am pretty happy cameras have moved away from film.
Here we go again. Let us keep adjusting society based off of the dumbest individuals and not the average individual.
I read the article and decided to try to get some sponsored links to appear. Doing a search for "Digital Camera" resulted in some pretty obviously highlighted results that have the words "Sponsored Links" in the highlight. Who the hell is this not clear enough for? I am not an advocate of mass murder but we really need to figure out a way to weed the gene pool.
Forcing people into the Nude is one of the easiest forms of terrorism. Why do you think people blush... They are embarrassed and feel out of place. It will cause them to focus on this embarrassment and miss alot of other detail. It also will make them more plyable to suggestion as their minds will start wondering "Whats next bad thing that is going to happen to me?".
This tactic was employed by the Germans during WWII it worked pretty well for them.
So basically there is no point to build a better jet engine because the current structures of jets cannot support the force. I am sure I could come up with hundreds if not thousands of these....
Having the infrastructure available allows for expansion in other area's. Do you honestly believe that current hard-drive speeds are never going to increase? The main reason it has not is because the need has not been there. Websites from 10 years ago could be browsed just as fast as todays on 14.4 modems but now require "broadband" connections to keep the same load times. Times change so do the needs. The US is falling behind the majority of developed world.
For anyone who has worked in a call center, Fast food, Or even a 7-11 wait times are not really under control of the site offering the service. You have ran into or experianced the instant explosion in customers wanting something all at once. Most people just through simple observation can see this but you really don't understand it until you work one of these types of jobs.
In a call center you can staff appropriately and still have excessive wait times at random. I cannot count the number of times it has been dead all day long maybe 1 call an hour then for no apparent reason over the next two hours there are 1+ hour hold times. If you call in at random times during the day and have consistently 30 min - 1 hr hold times then I agree they need to get more headcount.
Also, if most of you had any idea how many people call in wasting 10-20 minutes of a tech's time asking really stupid questions that can usually be found within the table of contents of the admin guide provided you probably wouldn't complain about hold times so much. Basically if the IT staff do their job and actually research & test before implimentation our hold times would be in half or non-existent.
Shouldn't this article be linked under FUD in wikipedia?
It could happen. It may even happen. But acting like a mother and predicting every possible failure or catastrophe that can happen and when one of them does saying "Look I was right" only works on kids.

Thanks for the explanation... Reading the article made it seem quite a bit scarier.
Obviously, Because skin and blood have nothing to do with your testies or your ability to reproduce cells, repair damage, heal.
I really wish we could edit our own posts :(

Guys & Gals,

Plenty of reasons to name one major one.
Many major financial & trading firms use IM clients of all breeds to interact with customers/clients/associates on a daily basis. These communications need to have specific rules enforced against and all communications recorded for them to be compliant. Many of the third party IM clients do not intergrate correctly with software that performs the management/proxying of IM traffic within an enterprise environment or could allow access on protocols that are restricted.
And hopefully in 1.5 years they can make Vista "worth" upgrading to. Right now it is an absolute waste of money for "most" users.
