  1. Re:Why?? on New Phishing Flaw in Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    I hate to say it because I love the look and feel of firefox, BUT has anyone considered what the press has said about firefox in the past? Last year, firefox was all over the press due to it security flaws. Now the average Joe User is gonna prefer IE (with it's consistant vulnerability patches) over some new browser that might have security patches. Microsoft makes it extremely easy by simply downloading and installing security and it's all automatic! No mess, no fuss!

    Sorry Guys, but these aren't realistic dates. You really need to get out more!

  3. Re:Geek Card Revoked! on XBox 360 Launching Nov 22 · · Score: 1

    My 15 year old daughter and her friends hang out at the local arcade and play DDR. Funny... I always thought it should be called SSR ( Stomp, Stomp, Revolution).

  4. Re:But does this explain... on Bird Brains Explain How Humans Learn to Talk · · Score: 1

    Quite possibly. I have crows that come around my house in the morning, and they mimic dogs. Apparently, the canines in my neighborhood are the only ones that have anything intelligent to say.

  5. Re:Attention U.S. Citizens! on Software Patents Stopped in India · · Score: 1

    Call me ignorant, but doesn't this affect the ownership rights American companies have of software that was developed in India. I mean whos to say that the code won't be shared since there's no patent on it? And if they share that code with other developers, how will this affect software sold and/or used in the US?

  6. Re:Future of treatment? on First Successful Cell Transplant Cures Diabetes · · Score: 1

    I would imagine that it would be patient specific...

    they would have to choose what they could live with.

    Would they prefer to take insulin before and or after meals, and stick to a strict diet. (While still in danger of losing limbs down the road, or going into ketosis and coma, blindness, etc...)

    -or-

    Would they prefer to take anti-rejection drugs to accept insulin producing tissue (With the chance that their body still may reject the transplanted tissue , not to mention the danger of opportunistic diseases from a suppress immune system)

    It's really about what the individual views as quality of life (i.e. the lesser of two evils)
