y'know the push for newer, more secure/informative types of ID?
I say, in addition to RFID stuff, all forms of ID have to have a miniature microphone and camera attached, and a small bit of storage(a flash card?), and a transmitter. At regular times, the card will spit out any information it's collected to receivers.
It would of course, be mandatory to display your card on the front of any clothing you're wearing, much like many checkout people have to wear(Hi! My name is...) Anyone not uploading good, unique video/audio on a regular basis would be tracked down and sent off to someplace nasty and disgusting as punishment. Gitmo or Alabama maybe?
Your thoughts? Might not be feasible yet, but in a decade or two the amount of space on a small card should be way up. Surely, wont someone please think of the children? How about thinking of the ratings for this stuff?
eh? Your steps are a bit off:P
Don't use ice to cool a burn, you're likely to cause further damage.
Just use running cold water to cool things down.
I'd also suggest tossing a bit of sterile gauze over it too, if things are more than mildly bad.
"Flush the burn with cool running water or apply cold- water compresses (a wet towel or handkerchief) until the pain lessens. Do not use ice or ice water, which can cause more damage to the tissues." http://www.personalmd.com/healthtopics/crs/burn1.h tm
They do keep the IPs, just not for months and months.
So if someone's trying to get into the registrar's records, they could be detected and possibly tracked down. They'd presumably start investigating that fairly soon after the incident, not wait for 31+ days for the records to get erased.

God in general has a fairly big emphasis on people's ability and right to choose their own ends. If I'm a <nasty sinner> then <bad stuff> will happen, either in this life or afterlife. But He lets me make that choice.
Indeed, you might pull through, but at least this way you can plan for it? Implement some specific changes to improve your quality of life/extend it for a while? Beyond the crap we're all supposed to be doing anyway:P
Your point is well taken generally though. When was Stephen Hawking supposed to be dead by? I know he was told ages ago that he just had a couple years to live... Dunno how great a quality of life he has atm, but apparently it's good enough he hasn't sought out someone to inject him with something funky.
Ah, there we go, wikipedia says:
Diagnosis came when Hawking was 21, shortly before his first marriage, and doctors said he would not survive more than two or three years.
Born: January 8, 1942 (age 65)
So yeah, he's been living for over 40 years since his predicted date of death. Good for him(and good for us for having benefitted from his work). My thinking that I'd be dead inside 10 years would probably change how I live my life right now. Or that I have a disease that I'll likely pass on to my kids for instance. Both would be good to know(for me). Probably shouldn't be compulsory to test people for everything under the sun and then tell them, but if they want it... *shrug*
There are thousands of those after all.... What? You don't want to learn a logographic writing system just to refer to wireless standards? Tough luck. 1.3 billion people "can't" be wrong!
Sounds rather disheartening to me. The internet already makes it really easy to see only the arguements that you want to read, and ignore the points of views that Other People have. It makes for much easier reading/viewing(no need to strain myself to understand another's POV since what I'm reading supports my thoughts). But it seems like a recipe for laz(y/ier) people, who don't have the ability or interest to critically examine a line of thinking.
If I'm reading only the leftist/communist/*nixist side of things then I'll stagnate right? And be less likely to understand how anyone could have any alternate point of view? ewww =(

Well, as Reid and you said, we wont get the savings passed on in terms of lower ticket prices, but we might have the savings passed on in terms of a better list of films to choose from.
Personally, the abysmal selection is the strongest factor in keeping me away from the theater right now. I wouldn't be going every week if they offered that better lineup, but I'd be going a hell of alot more often than I do now. The prices are... somewhat steep sure, but I'm willing to pay for a good experience. I'm just not willing to pay to see Norbit. http://imdb.com/title/tt0477051/
I'm somewhat disturbed to hear that the past few years of reading scientific journal articles have been for naught.
Psychology(the science of people's behaviour) is a joke? Shame that =( All those millions upon millions of dollars spent on it's study, and only NOW do we learn that "You can't apply scientific rationale to people."
Well crap.
Unless you aren't absolutely sure? Is there any chance that one can apply the scientific method to the behaviour of individuals and groups, and build models that predict future behaviour in a probabilistic way?
Indeed, if I wanted "Fair and Balanced" news coverage I'd be reading the Fox News[TM] website of course!
I'm here to read about Kubuntu and perhaps something to do with the new thoughts on application of tinfoil in fashion. Editorializing in the summaries is a close third though.
The US has suffered tens of thousands of casualties in the war on terror (or at least in the name of the war on terror), while Canada has had virtually none.
We've had casualties, including fatalities...
"Canada has suffered the second highest number of combat casualties of any nation in the Allied Force."
Remember, we're fairly involved in the fighting in Afghanistan... It's not just about Iraq.
Go to the movie rental place near you and get a copy of Canadian Bacon from 1995. It's a decent low-budget(11 million) film, if you have any familiarity with Canadians and Americans. Here's wikipedia's page about it too.
We really ARE coming after you y'know... A quote from the film
The Canadians. They walk among us. William Shatner. Michael J. Fox. Monty Hall. Mike Meyers. Alex Trebek. All of them Canadians. All of them here.
Not trying(very hard) to flame here, but how did you feel after watching Signs?
I mean, SIGNS?! I got conned into seeing that by a pair of old friends who were visiting town and wanted to go out to the movies... Hell, Signs was very nearly enough to ruin movies for me. I needed to watch a bunch of real classics to get my love for film back after that. It was an abortion of creativity and intelligence. Only uglier and smelled worse.
While you're importing medicines from Canada, you could import bulbs too. We sell a boatload of electricity and other forms of energy(eg: oils) to you guys. If you're desperate to have high demand for electricity that suits us alright. Means we can keep selling it to you guys at a good price. AFAIK there have been no movements to legislate mandatory changeovers to CFLs up here yet.
The amount of mercury in a CFL's glass tubing is small, about 4mg.
"CFLs Responsible for Less Mercury than Incandescent Light Bulbs
Ironically, CFLs present an opportunity to prevent mercury from entering our air, where it most affects our health. The highest source of mercury in our air comes from burning fossil fuels such as coal, the most common fuel used in the U.S. to produce electricity. A CFL uses 75% less energy than an incandescent light bulb and lasts at least 6 times longer. A power plant will emit 10mg of mercury to produce the electricity to run an incandescent bulb compared to only 2.4mg of mercury to run a CFL for the same time."
So, if you add the 4mg intrinsic to the CFL(being pessimistic here and assuming NONE get recycled properly) and the 2.4 mg from electricity production you end up with 6.4 mg of mercury released to the environment, as opposed to the 10 mg for regular incandescent bulbs. About 2/3 the mercury our regular light bulbs are giving off, and some of the CFLs will get recycled eh? Sounds like a good tradeoff to me.
How does this help against low-trajectory ICBM's, sub-launched IRBM's, or cruise missles, all capable of carrying sizeable WMD's?
Clearly there's a reason[maybe 'cause I'm a big dumb Canuck] why no one else seems to worry about it, so why don't one of you supersmart slashdotters explain this to me...:D
How expensive is a civilian-type ship, capable of crossing the pacific ocean? Something big enough that it could carry a medium-sized nuke. I'm not talking something able to take out LA or San Francisco in one hit, but big enough to do some serious dirty damage to those capitalist pigs? I'd think that LA would be a good target for this sort of thing. Right next to the Big Pond, and it's pretty full of freaks(*insincere apologies to those of you from there*).
Is it really the case that one couldn't drive a ship from NK to the states, maybe with fabricated ID saying you're Japanese/South Korean/Whatever? I just... I have a hard time believing that they search(while hundreds of kilometers out to sea) any ships that from asia before they get in close.
Sure, it's a slower delivery mechanism, but why aren't we worried about this too? Just too annoying/expensive to bother with? Not as showy a show of power and technological awesomeness?

I heard a rumour that Microsoft did indeed look to the idea of emulating OpenBSD's security practices as a company.
Then someone pointed out the respective revenues of OpenBSD vs Microsoft, and the whole idea just seemed to evaporate.
Someone decided that people don't care enough about the number of remote exploits found in a given OS. They were probably right.
We start using chinese characters then.

Kitty would agree with you. Wires are delicious.
Or the light was the radiation we measured by the Cosmic Background Explorer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COBE
That radiation wasn't uniformly intense, so there'd be areas of "light" and relative "dark"?
