  1. What's "aluminum"? on Titanium As Cheap As Aluminum? · · Score: 1
    Trust American stupidity to coat what must be the ugliest national monument in the world with a pale, shitty metal.

    I just wonder when they started misspelling "aluminium". Why do they complain about "ebonics" etc. not being real English when they can't write or speak real English themselves?

    I'm not trolling, it's the Americans! ;)

    There are two things people seem to be hysterically against, nuclear power and genetic engineering.


    Yes, and this article isn't about any of those topics. It's about achieving a homologue transfusion of haematopoetic stem cells. Nothing new, move along.

    It seems /. won't allow long URLs. Just remove any spaces in the URL above. I didn't put them there, honest!

    Yes, with emphasis on the "+". It's 12 years old "news".

    See what Wagner writes himself in an article in Am. J. Pediatr. Hematol. Oncol. 15(2):169-74.
    That article doesn't cover the genetic screening of MHC/HLA types, but that's everyday procedure at any clinical lab at any hospital in the civilised world.

    Still, I suppose this article appeals to tabloids like /. and their readers who get extatic when they see words like "genes" and "DNA".
    If /. necessarily must cover "Science", make more categories. This would be fitting in such a general category as "Medicine", though I'd like to see it in "Clinical Immunology", "Clinical Hematology" or "Oncology"... ;)

  5. Re:philosophers axe... on Sixteen Degrees Of Separation · · Score: 1

    The above is "Insightful"??

    Wouldnt it be cheaper and a lot less effort to just stick an `Amiga` badge on the front of your pc and run Fellow, UAE etc?

    If that's a serious question then I think you missed what the article was all about. It's about a new AmigaOS - the successor of the current (3.5) OS you are running on "Classic" Amigas and emulators today.

    If I see one more post starting with "I once had an A500, but..." or "it's dead, why would we want a dead system" I will destroy my A4000 keyboard with digestive juices thrown up with yet unseen velocity.
    YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE OLD/CURRENT AMIGA(OS)! Sorry about the screaming but that way seems like the only way to wake people up. What we're discussing here is the forthcoming release of a totally new Amiga environment.
    Sure, if you (the general "you") want to call the Amiga(OS) dead then by all means do so. It is in most aspects a commercially dead platform. But that's not what the current Amiga Inc. are working with, except by putting in some backwards compatibility in the new platform.

    Meanwhile the Amiga I'm typing this out on is very much alive and provides me with most of what I need. I look forward to the new AmigaOS/Ami/whatever-they're-going-to-call-it because I will be able to run it on any modern hardware I'd like. I can't see how that could be a Bad Thing.

    As for the question of whether it will be "a real Amiga" or not; no, it will not be a new proprietary hardware platform with its own special OS. Then this would also be "dead" in n years. It will be cool technology and it comes from a company named "Amiga", ergo it will be a real Amiga.
    Is a Macintosh G4 not a "real" Apple because it's got nothing to do with the Apple Lisa? Is any 2000 model Ford not a Ford because it doesn't look like a Model T?

    So many here say the Amiga is outdated, and I agree, but somehow the Amiga company shouldn't be allowed to invent new Amiga technology?

  6. Re:Austria (Re:Welcome to the new Underground) on French Court To Yahoo!: Dump Nazi-Related Auctions · · Score: 1

    The result is that being right-wing never carried the amount of negative baggage that it did in other countries of Europe.


    Being right-wing only carries the negative baggage wrongfully attached to it by the leftist/PC propaganda that somehow associates nazism (i.e. national socialism for the average uneducated American) with market economy and individual freedom.

    I think Haider is your average run-off-the-mill populist, taking whatever appeals to the masses from both the right and the left. He is most definitely not a national socialist.

    The only thing even remotely associating him with national socialism is that statement in which he compared the Austrian social democrats' employment policy with that of Hitler/NSDAP, i.e. hiding unemployment under government funded temporary projects like road constructions. As anybody can see Haider actually disapproved of national socialism with this statement! Needless to say this was reported by the leftist media as if he endorsed the employment policy of NSDAP (I don't know why the media complain in that case, it's socialist politics after all...).


  7. Re:(or NEdit released under the GPL, anyone?) on Amiga DirectoryOpus 4 Released Under GPL · · Score: 1

    It's not that I think that any source code liberation isn't worthy of note, but a sense of priority would be nice on an essentially Linux-biased site such as this.

    Yes, a sense of priority would be nice to prevent this site from becoming more Linux-biased than it already is. "News for nerds. Stuff that matters."
