Am I missing something, or is the summary missing something?
By asking participants to anticipate when they thought a specific color of circle would appear before them, something determined completely by chance, the researchers found that their predictions were more accurate when they had only a fraction of a second to guess than when they had more time.
This makes it sound like they discovered that precognition is real, not that free will is an illusion.
Hey, check out this new Nickelback song on my Zune!
That reminds me of a funny thing one of my co-workers said about his Zune (this was almost 10 years ago.)
He was describing the features of the Zune in comparison with the iPod. One neat thing was, he said, that one Zune could "loan" a song to another Zune. (I think the song would last for 3 days then go *poof*.)
I said, "Wow, that's pretty neat. How does that work?"
He said, "I don't know... I haven't met anyone else with a Zune yet."
This is a crazy thing to do, but one point in the recipient's defense : if he's looking at dying in the next few months or years, even a quadriplegic (but otherwise healthy enough) body might be a preferable alternative.
150 people? How do 150 people even work on one person. You can't even get them all in the same room. But if you are liberally counting then getting your appendix out probably involves 150 people when you count the pharmacy staff, the guy that keeps the computer network running, and the people who sterilize the operating room...
This number is counting in the mob "no show" contracts.
At least after birth you can err on the side of caution - protecting the baby doesn't unavoidably infringe upon anyone else's rights. Before birth there is an unavoidable conflict with the rights of the woman.
Why do you say that? If a mother gives birth to a baby, feeding, clothing, taking care of the baby, could be said to infringe up on her right of free determination. Why shouldn't she be free to terminate it after birth?

He successfully tricked them into thinking he's a Presidential candidate.
So did Trump, but he actually got his party's nomination. I can't imagine McAfee being nominated by the Libertarian Party.
That's what we said about Trump!

Even if it does work, it's no fun unless you force people into it.
Just make it a chatbot that responds to key terms "bacon" or "cheese" with "yes, more please" and you've got a winner!
Sounds more like that could replace the customers.
And they said no true Scotsman would come up with a theory like that.

The dog ate Myan homework?
They laughed at me when I said I wanted to make funny comments on Slashdot.
Well, nobody's laughing now!
so now everything is because of lack of two factor auth? fuck off
You first
Two fuck off authentication.
Ask your OB/GYN.
New AC here
Not sure exactly why, but this was hilarious to me.
And the other half are in denial.
You mean North Carolina. SC has yet to pass any of these "bathroom laws".
The OP self-identified as commenting on South Carolina, and we shouldn't try to force him into talking about one particular state or another.
Is the worst in the world. Cuba is the best, by far.
Just use your real name, Mr. Moore.
And the government wants us to buy more!

My guess: for a mountain, all you need to do is pile up dirt.
Even simpler, you could build a molehill and then invite the Slashdot comment section over to do the rest.
I only regret that I cannot mod this higher.

They were going to do a body transplant, but turned out the head is easier to pick up and move around.
Are we finally gonna get to the (slavering) DIRTY AMERICANS?!!
God-worshippers aren't going to adopt all those babies.
Amazingly, the determination whether or not life begins at conception is divorced from one's concept of the supernatural.
And God-worshippers adopt a fair amount of babies. But they obviously could not do enough to keep up with the numbers of unwanted children.

At that price the battery would be an option, not standard equipment.
The "Yugo Double-A"
And you're already modded way up, but that was funny, and sad, and profound.
