According to this article, treated properly, treated differently, with new and evolving protocols we have an hour more to save your life now!
The implication is that we were wrong about way hyperthermia can save people who've drowned. It isn't that the cells slowed and didn't use oxygen, it's that the cold can prevent the self-destruct when the oxygen comes back. So, it didn't matter that the patient was cold the whole time, it only mattered if he were still cold at the moment he were put on oxygen!
There was already a first study. It works, cool patients a lot, even inject a slurry of partially frozen saline and infuse oxygen slowly, putting them on heart lung machines instead of restarting the heart quickly and 5 times as many of them live.
Amazing.
It looks like heart attack and drowning deaths are about to go WAY down in countries where we can afford this sort of care because suddenly we have an hour to save you, not five minutes.
Hmm. You're backpeddling and elitist too.
Before you said he deserves incarceration, not just that he can expect it. A woman who goes to a hair stylist in Saudi Arabia can expect to be executed (on TV no less) if she's caught, but that's separate from deserving it.
As for needing to have suffered before you can be allowed to write horror stories, all I can say is that I couldn't respect that point of view less. For one thing we'd never have any writers by your prescriptions, second of all suffering is not limited to the old or the poor. Everyone has their chance at loss, sickness, addiction, mental illness, or even just being too sensitive. Wealth makes some of those less probable, but even rich people die.
KGuess what... you would deserve it.... Hopefully, someone will be appaled enough to take the steps that lead to treatment and recovery, where you realize that just because everybody else stinks doesn't mean that you have to punish them for it.
So incarceration and institutionalization are appropiate solutions to self pity and bad writing? You really are a fascist.
Ok, I admit that I never spent any time perusing goatse, but I notice that the wikipedia article doesn't match what I read in slashdot threads.
I remember a thread where some explainded that the "guy" at goatse was a hermaphrodite and that people were too shocked to realize that they were looking up a vagina, not up some deformed anus...
But the wikipedia article say's that it's a photoshopped anus.
Someone here must have the expertise to answer this important historical question!
Oh, and it gets pretty good milage too. If I'm doing pure freeway driving it gets almost 50 mpg (I've been told by someone who used to keep a fleet of corolas that they tuned it could get better rhan 50 freeway). Unfortunately I live in San Francisco, so when it's all up and down hills it's 20 mpg. But for the price that's still good.
I just paid $2000 for my 91 Corolla stick (exact blue book). At 1/10th the cost of a new Prius, it doesn't even have to last very long to be much better for the bottom line.
You've been living in a cave if you ever expected business people to say, "We're screwing America to make a few percent more profit. All your kids will be 100 hour a week slaves for no money if they can find a job at all bwa ha ha !!!"
In the Bay Area (San Fran, down to silicon valley) people have been trying to adapt by working longer and longer hours.
I tried to escape the treadmill by starting an appliance repair business. Not sure if that will succeed since I was underfunded... anyway I ask all of my clients about their jobs in order to get a handle on the local market, and NO one works less than 60 hour a week anymore. A surprising number of middle class clients in professional jobs work 100 hours per week or more.
Lots of people in this area have become consultants just so that they have the ability to take a vacation or have some say over their hours. It's not a step up in pay overall I would guess, but just trading risk for not being a slave.
But overall no one has a solution! There's never going to be unions in the forseeable future. The only hope that an American has to have a life is to move to one of the cheapest spots in the country or move out of the US entirely. Our corporate culture is entirely expoitive, our job market forces a race to the bottom because you can't be the only person demanding good treatment and still have a job, and our social culture allows no cooperation or class consciousness so we are simply doomed.
Working for the government may, in the short run let people work 40 hours like actual humans, but that won't last. The government has noticed that it's the only good employer left in the country and started to outsource.
We're completely doomed. And the public is so stupid that they're signing up for Donald Trump wealth-building courses in desperation. That's all we have as a solution, hucksters.
Wow, it uses radar and "lazer" sensor instead of seeing. And it can evade road cones at high speed. That's the definition of safety isn't it?
You should know what a useless toy that is.
When they can trust their car to drive around schools, playgrounds, through ghettos, and New York city streets full of cars stopped in the middle and people behind them expecting them to break the law and go around (in traffic) call me.
Self driving cars? Yes, along with time-traveling Delorians and floating skateboards.
Self driving cars have to be, (at least in recent years) an absolute con, just to get grant money. Would you trust technology as stupid as what we have?
An old AI joke was to call a limited domain version of this a "cat box". The idea a camera with a light on it that comes on whenever it's pointing at a cat.
The article admits that Taiyo Yuden's formulation used to be the best, until they improved all of the others!
We're to use Taiyo Yuden's "Super Cyanine" "stabilized" Cyanine dye, because for a short time, it was the best dye. But then the article goes on to admit that TDK' "metal-stabilized Cyanine" is rated for the same shelf life. Then it goes on to admit that the "Metal Azo dye" I see listed on the brands I've been buying is rated for a longer shelf life than either of the previously mentioned ones, but then claims it's not better. OK, but you didn't claim it was worse either!
So basically, this guy took an obselete article that said that some obscure brand makes longer lasting DVDs, and as the other major companies have caught up or even exceeded Taiyo Yuden for longevity, he did not rewrite the conclusion.
I challenge anyone to find any support in that article for it's conclusion. What's the reason for prefering Taiyo Yuden over Mitsubishi? I don't see one! Over TDK? I don't see one.
And, I believe that I'm seeing the Mitsubishi formulation sold by Sony.
I wonder if choosing longer lasting dyes is the reason that I'm seeing 2x speed Verbatim double layer disks instead of the 8x double layer disks I used to buy?
ActiveX is only evolving into a plug-in system because:
1. Its original purpose, instant, no-sandbox, unsafe machine code downloaded with every web page turned out to be one of the worst ideas Microsoft ever had.
2. Microsoft disabled their other Mozilla compatible plug-in system some versions back, hoping to cripple the competition. It used to be possible to host a flash control in IE without active X, didn't it?

Mod the parent up. Well, the kid learned a valuable lesson - people don't always want the truth.
Heh, my moderator points were there until I looked!
What really pisses me off is that I had one moderator point left and it just expired!

You're so cynical.
There are golf courses here too.

Answer, don't send Americans.
I can't see this being the same problem with a Canadian crew, or a Chinese one, or a Japanese one.
Didn't Bjork have a music video with computer-animated ahem, fluids? She's a pioneer!
There are only four comments and already the sites are slashdotted!

Some more interesting ideas than an RFID in a coin:
A microphone, some solid state memory, and radio that would burst the recording on command.
Someone could walk by you on the street and leach all of the audio recorded in a day in just a minute!
Or a coin with a gieger counter and an RFID (or radio on command) that's capable of reporting the time and intensity of the last few large events.
Plant these on people who you suspect of working on nukes or dirty bombs.
Better yet (not sure how possible), add a geo-satelite locator to it and then it can record the time and place of any radiation.

The right direction would be running screaming away from active X entirely.
Let me know when Microsoft admits that Active X was a terrible idea and leaves in uninstalled in future versions of the OS.
